I’m watching too many reviewers and wondering if any of you have a first choice favorite. Thanks for any suggestions.
Currently I have been watching
Neeves, Nick S, Luv them knives, Metal Complex, All juggle knives, and Cutlery Lover.
 
Beez blades, Neeve's Knives, metal complex to see really expensive Hinderers, etc. And Nick Shabazz. There are a couple others I watch once in a while like Tristate Edc.
 
These days, about the only knife channel I watch is Knifecenter's New Knife Day videos with DCA or Seth where they show new knives. 99% of the other "knifeTubers" have some irritating issue or other that makes me give them a hard pass:

- Their voice is annoying, I'm not putting up with that.
- They talk about things like "hard use", then go on to talk about knife details that no one who actually uses knives would care about.
- They have opinions opposite mine about various knife features, and are whining about it in virtually every video.
- Their content seems geared towards being a fluffer for new Instagram knife designers "makers" who have all their stuff made in China (Yaaaaayyy, yet another Reate made knife, I'm sure it won't have the same exact action and materials as all the rest of them, surely not).
- A few of these big name people are just as bad as gamerTubers where they have a super long meandering talkvomit intro instead of getting right to the point (which, I know full well, is done so they can meet time length metrics that YouTube wants them to hit so they can monetize the video). If you haven't gotten to the knife in the first minute or two, I'm out. We aren't friends and I don't care what's going on in your personal life.

So yeah, it's just Knifecenter's videos for me.

I will add this: I watch them, but not if they are reviewing any of the innumerable China knives that seem to pop up daily. I do not buy them, and won't add any views to that content.

One of the issues I have with the guy is that he posted some big long crying-jag video about how he's a super honest person, and he just "tells it like it is", as part of some beef with another Knifetuber. Can you imagine anything more pathetic? Having beef with another idiot (on YT of all places LOL), and so you have to make a "react" video about it? The problem here is that our society has conned a lot of these "influencers" into thinking that they and their opinions/viewpoints are tremendously more relevant or important than they actually are.
 
KnifeCenter with DCA is great with the new knives they have each week. I like Metal Complex but I hate how he laughs at nothing. Bugs me. Nick Shabazz is always good but I haven’t seen anything new from him in a while. I should prob ably check. Kevin Cleary. Slicey Dicey. And a few others I can’t think of.
 
Don't watch as much as I used to, but here are some I liked, no particular order: Dr Frunkey, Supersteel Steve, Neroknives, Cedric & Ada, It's a knifestyle, TheApostleP, Outdoors55, Nick Shabazz, Michael Christy and ofc Knifesteelnerds.
 
KnifeCenter = top notch with Nick Shabazz being quality content as well pretty much the only two I watch.

Used to watch BladeHQ a lot when Jamie was on but don't like their new guys as much, other than Paddy's Potato Peelers can't say as I watch many more than those.

Luvthemknives is a good dude I've bought some knives from him, haven't watched any of his videos in a long time though.

Mind boggling how many knives they get for free and how people take their word as if they're actually knife makers.........

Right? Like, Dr. Frunkey was mentioned here already. Heh, THAT dirtbag finished medical school, started making serious Doctor money and was still asking all his followers for money so he could pay for all those super expensive one-off customs* he always managed to have coming in for "review". Last I checked, people were still doing it! Kinda genius, really.

* Odd that people were cool with giving someone who could afford medical school all this money so he could continue to obtain ultra rare, absurdly expensive knives from huge-name makers whose books are/were essentially permanently closed. Man, wish I'd managed to learn the secret of having rubes bankroll an expensive hobby of mine for free :rolleyes:
