    The Lander will be available on BladeHQ.com on October 4, 2022

    Ben nailed the transition issue and aptly addressed the crew changes. Each BladeHQ review crew brings their own “flavor” to knife reviews. New BladeHQ crews deserve the opportunity to add their own spin on knife content.
    Imagine what we all would have missed out on if Ben, Zac, Kurt, Dallas, and countless others around them at BladeHQ had been denied the opportunity to bring us joyous knife content as well. With those great memories in mind, many of us wish George, the rest of the knife banter crew, Blade HQ and all of its staff nothing but the best.
    P.S. To Ben, the solution to a messy garage is a garage burrito 😊. Kidding aside, I couldn’t build one myself. So, I brought a closet organizer’s design skills to the challenge. Storage/workspace design is the key to overcoming that never-ending challenge.

    • @Leftyotism

      @@Leftyotism I tried that, but the clutter came back with a vengeance as though the Tasmanian Devil paid me a visit. 😏 Unfortunately, most garages serve as storage dumping grounds. That’s why I resorted to the “out of sight, out of mind” approach. The mess is still there, but it’s largely compartmentalized and better organized. Absent storage cabinets, everything just piled up.

    So proud of Ben, Zack and the Blade HQ staff.
    You guys revolutionized the knife talk in entertainment, and gave us knife people content that we get to enjoy as shows, instead of the previous knife ads or independent reviews trend.
    Even Knifecenter's show with Dave Anderson feels inspired by what KnifeHQ had started and masters.
    Such a great time to be a knife lover!

    The Lander hits the nail on the head for what I’ve started calling “social carry” knives.
    That’s the exact opposite of a tactical knife. Its design language makes it as inoffensive as possible. No need to make strangers feel threatened just because you’re trying to do some quick task.

    • @mattconklin4026
      @mattconklin4026 Před rokem

      I usually tend to carry a gentleman style knife i definitely understand what your saying. I've had people freak when I pull out a full auto tactical blade, just to cut a box open 😆

    • @rapierlynx
      @rapierlynx Před rokem

      "Social carry" is a niche I like - modern and classy, non tactical, not ugly, not as fancy or costly as a full on gents knife.
      Then again, I had a coworker call my Leatherman Micra a weapon.

    Please bring back the weekly new knives episode. The content writes itself, and we all like to hear about the new cool stuff. Mix up starter knives, high end and custom knives, and just weird random things. Maybe have very popuiar drops (Demko AD20's, Koenig Ariuses, etc... Brian Brown Yeagers) annnounced live at the end of those. Make it fun and ALSO an event.
