Yet another misinformed Youtube knife video

[nick21]

I cannot stand Nutnfancy honestly. I am in opposition to his views on carrying knives as weapons. I view knives as tools first and foremost, and improvised weapons if the worst happens. I dislike companies (won't name names) who manufacture knives with the intent for them to be used as weapons

Although with that said, I do like WeAllJuggleKnives even though he seems more comfortable with the idea of knives as weapons than I am. And I really like Stefan Schmalhaus, who usually goes over small details such as the history of the knife and knife manufacturer. While not all too practical, I find it fun and interesting. He doesn't make too many videos though

As far as one can say that one likes a maker of YouTube videos who one will never meet, I like Nutnfancy well enough. I don't understand his fascination with jimping, but then the knives I regularly carry have high traction grips that make it unnecessary. As for the carrying of knives as weapons, if you live in a country where carrying firearms is verboten sometimes you have to make do with what you can get.

People who talk about easy access to pistols, tasers, or pepper spray, need to try living in countries where those things are forbidden.

Yeah, I knew the origin of the term, but when a few civilians mention it in certain contexts (like these videos) it is an absolute head scratcher. Running away in some scenarios won't do much good I'd expect.

Gotcha:thumbup:

Haha, how exactly did they incorporate bugging out into their knife reviews??? Unless its some green painted machete "for use on zombies only" Doesnt seem like a natural topic to bring up in knife review to me either.......

1) at 2:24, he points to a U.S. 1917 trench knife and talks about its stiletto or dagger blade. The 1917 actually had an edgeless triangular cross section blade.

I fullscreened the video and read the book description, It's a M1918, The paragraph talks about how the differences was mainly in the knuckle guard and scabbard. I didn't see it mention anything about the blade.

I found the part about how the "440" steel number is how you gauge the steel quite amusing. Higher number is better than lower number. Heck, M4 and 3V must be total crap by those standards. I better run to walmart and get me some high number 440 steel cause 440 is a larger number than all my other knives.

Also "Rockwell hardness doesn't matter because we only care how easy our knife is to sharpen" lol

Its not hard to do some research and get good information before you start posting wrong info for everyone to hear. Its a downward spiral of misinformation.

Yeah, that doesn't really make sense. What I get from the video is that he's not a knife expert and doesn't want a super steel rather than something easy to sharpen. It wasn't presented with facts though.

Whoa, guys, if you'd watched more of this video you would have learned that... a knife is NOT JUST FOR KILLING! Be honest, I bet most of us here did not know that! So glad he said it.

Prac Tac, Tactilol thread, etc. Sometimes it has to be said.

I'm sorry but I have to add, he also says "you want a nice sharp edge that runs the length of the blade but not necessarily all the way down the handle" Um... are there certain situations I DO want my blade running all the way down the handle of my knife?!

This guy seems like an older, well-reasoned and fairly logical gentleman. I expected a dumb teenager, so I feel kinda bad about this but... it is what it is.

Well, you're missing the "TO" in "but not necessarily all the way down TO the handle" which changes what he's said. I've seen a couple of his videos, they're easy to put on in the background while reading the forums or just in the background. If he is who he said he is then he's got 20+ years in the military and medically retired as a 1st Sergeant.

"whhhup-issssshhhhhh! Check out that jimping bro!"

Lol, but seriously though, it's almost as if anyone can just get on the internet and say anything they want, even if it's not correct!!! >_>

LMAO that is awesome.

 

[Quiet]

The problem with the Internet...is they let anyone on the Internet.

Fixed that for you. :thumbup:

That is a replica/fantasy piece. The real one illustrated in the book has a triangular blade.

A lot of misinformation and disinformation out there regarding knives.

Indeed. bwahahahahaaa...

The great thing about the internet is, anyone can share their thoughts and feelings with the whole world. The awful thing about the internet is, anyone can share their thoughts and feelings with the whole world.

There are plenty of older, seemingly well-spoken guys who don't have a fat flying clue what in Sam Hill they're talking about. Turn on the TV at any random moment, any random "news" channel if you don't believe me The smashed nail and missing stump of a finger on this dude are real confidence-builders, that's for sure.

Yeah, I knew the origin of the term, but when a few civilians mention it in certain contexts (like these videos) it is an absolute head scratcher. Running away in some scenarios won't do much good I'd expect.

I'm more of a "bugging-in" guy myself, but as you said... that's a whole different topic.

I very rarely comment on YT vids but I just couldn't help myself with this poor sap.

 

[Woodcamo Nut]

I've seen the guys video's before and I can't stand watching because he does the irritating Lou Holtz thing with his mouth.

 

[Goosey]

To be fair the original stilettos were often triangular and usually without edges and the same could be true of main gauche

I see, funny how his book didn't mention the blade, unless the blade didn't change much in the few iterations before the M1918

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Youtube is like listening to a song as you're leaving the area of coverage for that particular station. There's good info to be found, problem is, so much chaff and signal noise, it's hard to find the folks with the right info. !!!

Very funny and correct, sir
You gotta piece together your own mind from the best parts of anything you encounter


Nice twisty stiletto up there

 

[JKLnHYD]

I had to stop at "it's a hybrid. It's like a sword, because it has a basket...".

 

[uofaengr]

About the only ones I watch any more are from ApostleP. They're long but very well done from my perspective.

Used to like his stuff, but everything now is just a friggin commercial for his sharpening service. All reviews must be done after the super duper mirror polish is on the knife, make sure to mention the polish often, and make sure to do plenty of paper slicing, and I'm constantly closing pop-ups during the video directing me to his video describing his service. More power to him though because he's making an assload of cash now from it. I also cringe from the constant flicking the knife as hard as humanly possible. Like Nutnfancy but without the tactical wrist action and sound effects thrown in. I'll say he's thorough though.

Used to watch a little Nutnfancy, but can't take him anymore. Never watched the actual reviews but heard he called the Sebenza a "douche knife" and nearly wrecked a knife demoing the Edge Pro? That's about all I need to know. I have enjoyed in the past admiring the vast, open land that he shoots on.

On a side note, Cutlerylover should just be called Dessertlover or Beerdranker because that's all I was seeing on there before I unsubscribed.

So who does that leave? I don't know, I feel like Randy (Solo) has some good stuff, but after that, it's hard to think of anyone enjoyable to watch.

 

[Davidka]

This video has 73k views and he has 98k subscribers. He must be doing something right...

 

[fluid_motion]

No dude, 440 still isn't good enough by those standards, get yourself some 5120 and you might as well have a knife forged by god himself.

 

[VictorLouis]

LOL, never mind the ignorance displayed. It's disgusting to see... infected fingernail beds, the tip of his LH middle-finger missing, and a blood blister on his right hand middle-finger. If you're hands are like that, it's time to recruit a hand-model for your U-Boob vids.

 

[mwhich50]

I don't know what a person would expect from a youtuber that makes videos about preparing for the end of the world. His name is enough to make me suspicious.
When it comes to value knife reviewers I compare what each of them say, and look for consistency or points of agreement. If a knife doesn't have but a few videos, I wait.
I have to say that wealljuggleknives is my favorite at this time. He just reviews the things I like, more consistently than the rest. He only reviews cutting tools/weapons. He actually knows how to use some Asian weapons in the way they were intended to be used. Interesting.

I really do like watching this guys reviews. You are correct, he gives a lot of good information and does not come off as an arrogant know it all tactidouche. He has a really nice collection too.
