Review SAK Classic review

[BladesmanUSA]

Here is my review of the Victorinox Classic

 

[Ruari]

The first thing I'll say is that this review doesn't really do it for me - there are too little specifics - you should be able to provide the watcher with the exact specifics of length, width, blade length, weight etc. Even if you don't measure it yourself, you can go on a retailers site and get those details which will provide the watcher with the detail.
You could bring out other specifics as well - the toothpick and tweezer are not the usual 91mm Officer type, as an example.
Some rehearsals as well will pay off - there are only three 'blades' or tools, but it lacks some impetus to see you are not familiar with the knife when you weren't able to go straight to the knife. Makes the viewer think 'why should I listen to this guy, he doesn't even know his way around the tool?'.
I think a bit more of a flat and uniform background will add to the video as well, I kept looking at the gap in the wood wondering if the knife was going to slip into the nether regions!
Lastly, the recurring 'tsah' sound is a bit distracting - I know it is probably just something you naturally do as you gather you thoughts, moisten your mouth or whatever, but it is a bit plosive and does become a bit distracting.
Hopefully the criticism will be taken in good grace, I applaud anyone who is prepared to document things, but I think this needs some polish before you're going to start gaining much of following.

I think that review of the review was a little harsh. I thought BladesmanUSA's video was about on par with many of the knife videos I have seen.

When I first read the review of the review of the review, I thought that it was fair, albeit a little breif and somewhat lacking in nuance. Two sentences simply isn't enough to convey a deep enough picture to the reader. You could for example have provided some constructive criticism by giving suggestions of things which you thought could have been changed or added to improve the review of the review. I also don't see anything like a score, which can often be helpful.

Overall, I think it was not bad, but it does show a lack of experience in reviewing reviews of reviews. I think if you would practice a bit more, you could definitely improve. I give it a 6.5/10.

Dear editor. It is with manifest consternation that I must comment on and critique the aforesaid review of the review of the review of the review. Such ostentation and hubris rankles one's greater sensibilities. Indeed, I would rather sharpen a D2 flipper using my grandmammy's emery board before so much as assessing this mountainous heap of sour jam. Nothing more than a scandalous Scottish hogwaller, I think.

Cordially,

Sir Keenan Kent
Duke of Lancashire

Why would anyone watch a review of a knife which has been around for decades and which can be purchased for less than $20?
The comments have been indicative of this.
