Nick Shabazz 2021 knife of the year predictions

Haven't seen this topic posted yet, please remove if it has.

17 hours according to my feed he spills the beans.

This will be a windfall to the lucky maker, say what you want, Nick Shabazz will influence everyone from casuals to full time influencers.

To me this is like watching whatever that show is where the Hollywood folks give out awards at a gala red carpet event. What's the name of that?

Anyhoo predictions accepted, I think it will be a custom this time.

I only watch his videos if I have to see some disassembled model I'm interested of. I usually shut the sound of, with all due respect to the guy,
I can't stand his talking... It's just me I guess. Not influencing jack $#!7 in my case.

Agree. I’d bet on Herman Knives. Then I’d bet on the Baby Banter. Longshot…re-released Slysz Bowie.

Forgot to mention, the thread is about Nick Shabazz knife of the year predictions not about any kind of feelings you have for the man. For those inclined you are free to start a thread called:

"I would like to publicly share my feelings and emotions for Nick thread"

Otherwise plz try to stay on topic.

Thank you, appreciate it.

I watched one of his videos today. It had him trying to give a review that was 100% positive... on the Z Hunter knives!!!
It was HILARIOUS!!!

No way, he was pretty hard on the $400 Slysz due to their, well, $100 upcharge on a beautiful but simple design that really could have tolerated a $50-$100 price cut in the first place, and second for doing the very standard grinder satin finish instead of the original's gorgeous shiny stonewash. It's a great knife, but only the original (in its proper time) was a competitor for knife of the year.

Although he tends to favor smaller slicey knives, my guess is one of the Demko Shark Lock models

Pretending that I'm not excitwd!!

Based on the few videos I've watched from him, we seem to come to similar conclusions about what we like and don't like about knives. Granted, I only really watch videos of knives I already like, so that could sway the sentiment a little. Out of the 50-100 knives that have passed through my hands in the past year, I've said this elsewhere on here, but the Quiet Carry Drift takes the cake. Not a brand new design, but they did change the blade extraction from a blade cut to dual thumbstuds. So my vote is for the Drift

Which reminds me, who makes the best production smachet these days to the original spec??

Definitely not just you.

Just so that no one will have to search for it . . .

 

[The Grendels]

He's definitely going to pick a small knife. It's almost to the point where if he doesn't like the ergonomics I know I'll probably like it.
