Nutnfancy talks with CASE at SHOTSHOW

In the vid, he talks about being a big Case fan. Does he have any prior reviews of Case (or any other traditional slipjoint) knives? Got links?

I just can't take it when a grown man uses the word, "dude" over and over again. He uses some other words and phrases that make me feel like I'm listening to a teenage boy talk.
 
Every product he "reviews" he suddenly likes and respects. In other videos, he either never ever mentions them, or puts them down to promote the other products. He's never mentioned carrying a pocket knife in another video, and now, suddenly, he says he carries a canoe? I don't buy it. It doesn't fit in with his tactical fantasy.

He talks a lot and doesn't say much. He's very repetitive and has a pretty limited vocabulary.

Also, what is with the "We in the xxx project" stuff? He tries to sound like he's got an army of employees who are on a clandestine secret project.

That said, suffered through that entire video because one of my buddies "here in the TF&FB Project" recommended it. I think there's a solid 3 minutes' worth of good info there. The bit about Russ Case's cattle starring in a John Wayne movie, and the rubber-handled WWII history was kind of fun.

I also have to admit that Case really tries to manufacture collectibility. I'm glad it has been enough to keep them in business, but I think it is a little sad that there are people out there who feel obligated to collect multiples of a given knife just because they have changed the dye in the bone scales or etched something on the blade. This is the classic Disney trick. "For a limited time only, Lady and the Tramp is for sale! Buy your copy now, 'cuz we're not going to release it again for 20 years!" > Manufactured collectibility. > FAIL. This kind of practice instantly loses some of my respect for a company. It is insulting the intelligence of the customers. </rant>
 
Oh, dear God. . . why did I click on the link?!
Cursed morbid curiosity. . .

Now I know how long is too long to talk about Russlocks, and I thought that I was going to lose my mind when he started talking about the carbon fiber handled stuff.
Wonder how long it will take him to do a GEC or Queen booth review. . . NOT that I want him to do one!!

Nutnfancy has mentioned in several of his vidoes that his favorite pocket knife company is Victorinox and he has many Victorinox patterns in all the color variations. Nutnfancy is a collector and buys all types of knives. I don't know of to many people who have interviewed more knife makers than nutnfancy. The reason I know what a lot of these knife makers look like is because of the nutnfancy videos. I realize his style may put some people off, but you have to respect his military service and his adventure videos show that he really isn't just another keyboard warrior. Many of his videos show that he is a guy who spends a lot of time with his family, with his friends, or even volunteering his time with youth groups. I put a lot of volunteer time in myself and its really hard for me to bash on someone who volunteers their time, because I know the sacrifices that are required. Love him or hate him he does a lot of good promoting for the knife industry.
 
Lt. Colonel NutnFancy Retired is big into knives. He's both a knife collector and user. The reality of the TNP - project is that he has 92 million uploads on YouTube and 182,000+ subscribers. I believe he is the largest within his genre. He brings lots of new business and following to items which he likes. Most vendors really like him. He helps everyone. The guy is real. Also a big +1 on what Furios Pace just said.
 
I spent some time at the Case booth there, enjoyed it. Brought a very cute & nicely made Peanut home from the show.
Made it through about three minutes of this video.

Very glad our visits did not coincide.... :)
