I showed my wife the Stump Lifter when I received it and she commented “Wow you finally bought a real knife” So it definitely has her seal of approval. 😎
Lol awesome!
Doing a knife show without cutting anything would be so lame.
Thanks for the great content!
Every time AKB says "not my problem" take a drink. 😂❤❤
Your tangents are always entertaining 👍

Congrats on the stump lifter
I love my green stumplifter! Can’t wait for the purple one!
Don’t ever stop talking about the Stump Lifter! Fantastic knife.
I’m happy the pro cardboard cutting lobby won out. That’s some good B roll
Nice vid AKB and a good looking knife. I also appreciate any and all Big Lebowski references. Meanwhile, as one of The Chosen Ten internationals you shipped Stump Lifters to, I am greatly indebted to you. That lil’ orange knife makes me happy every day.
I'm glad you like it!!
Advanced classic horror films bro. Congrats on the success of Stump lifter. Quality review, bro.
I really like these new Flipjoint knives a lot! 🥰
Because where I live you can legally carry them on the streets and stuff and you can open it with one hand and also fidget with them! 🥰
Where I live you can either carry a two-hand-opening one if you want a locking one, and if you want a one-hand-opening one it can't lock! 😭
But these new designs really solve this problem of the past! 🥰
And why get a two-hand-opening one that doesn't lock, other than for nostalgia! >:D
Love that design
I’m not a double detent fan, but the flipper makes it a little better. I know there’s no way it can close on my hand with that flipper in the way.
I have the Vosteed Nightshade, which is also a Shilin-inspired knife. It’s a great blade style for common EDC tasks.
I may have to get the Mandu and start a Shilin collection. More people out there need to make them. Let’s start a fad, knifebros!
Congratulations on the success of your stump lifter my dude 👉😎👉
You tell em bout that Photo film stuff !!!
Got me a stump lifter from the ‘ole HQ. It really is pretty ok..… espcially as an opener for a bottle of tasty hipster juice. Keep up the good work Mr AKB looking forward to your next model.
Congratulations on the stump lifter, great job on making it. One of the few slip joints I own.
Good looking knife and excellent review!
Desk fidgeting could be my supervisors and HR's problem. But I am the HR😊. Sweet blade. Great price
I mean I love everything about this channel, makes me want to narrate that great too
Beautiful. I want a damn Vosteed Nightshade badly, but I live in South Africa, so screw me.
I'm with you on film photography. "Analog photography" really irks me!
I wish that in the future there will be a large version for left-handers and with a liner lock, and with some premium steel.
Love it👍. But I’m here for the batoning the end….everything gets baroness. Cmon🤷🏻♂️🍺
OSEES rock. They're coming to Philly in October, can't wait for that.
Cheers to the Stump Lifter by the way. I'm really enjoying it but it hasn't cut me yet so I'm not sure if it loves me back.
I’ve been on a kick the past few days. I’ve been listening to them on Spotify- but I figured it was best to buy a few of their albums off of an authorized retailer.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro KEXP on CZcams has a few live OSEES performances on their channel, really good
I watched one the other day... or part of it anyway. czcams.com/video/FrMacbbLxuc/video.html
I thought a detent was something I slept in while in the field. Put your gear in de'tent so you don't lose your shit.
Call it a double detent friction folder. That way you can still piss off the friction folder people (person? I can't imagine there are many) while also sounding like a know-it-all
Friction Folder Mafia! (not actually a thing)
My first quality knife came today. Before now all the knives iv owned were older ones given to me. But I’m really happy with my first knife. The first one I bought because I’m saying this knife is me and my style. The Ohio River Jack wharencliffe blade, green handle. The next knife I buy.…..will be the next run of stump lifters because I’m calling it and making it so. I’m bringing it into reality by my will projecting into the either. There is GOING TO BE another run of stump lifters. So it is spoken so shall it be done.
It's a good knife!
That looks smooth - prob won't pull trigger but dig none the less - stump lifter on other hand def top of group that I own great blade my man
I like my SL a lot. I can't EDC it solo until you make them Espada XL size--Lynn's orders.
Congrats on the Stump Lifter. All my Spydercos have factory clips. Next take back the word microphone
Nice lines, Bro
I like this one
Aaah! I missed this video!
Looks like a folding version of the kizer baby
Still anxiously waiting to see if my Stump Lifter review is going to get approved on BHQ...
Omg, I know a thing! Detent is just any sort ot catch in a machine that hold something in place automatically. So a clock has a detent, a gearbox has them.
its kinda like a curvy version of one of those drop laconico keen's
It's official. Old school slip joints are now 'analog slip joints' and double detents are 'digital..no..'binary slip joints'.
Shiiiitttt… my collection of analog knives
How about “double detent lockingish system”?
Great video, thanks. Anyone know where I can find the analog version?
I totally misread that as "Trotsky"
Congrats on your Stump Lifter, bro. Very very cool!
Are you doing a second run in different colors/materials?
That's the plan! Nothing has been solidified though, and I have not had any further conversations about this since the stump lifters release. Just some initial talks if it "goes well." I think it went very well, but since that process is determined by BladeHQ it will have to meet that metric to them too.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. “Sold out” sounds like a good first-release metric to me. It would so awesome to see them in a bunch of colors and materials.
Im loving my stump lifter. please notice me senpai
Noticed!
Says Blade HQ: *Stump Lifter was designed by the sensational Advanced Knife Bro himself* Uh-Huh..
Just remember the 'little people' next time you're dancing in circles tossing handfuls of that stumplifter cash in the air like confetti..
glorious as always, loving my stump lifter btw!
Great to hear!
Mandu is Korean for a kind of pot sticker.
Advanced Salty Art School Alumni Bro is a welcome voice and character.
Community college attended, Art school drop out, film school completer. If you think 4 years in school for an associates in film is a waste of time- you'd be right!
(Audible grown) God damn it. I love your vids/comedy. Every review I am visually interested in is made in China! Instant no. Could knife bro review an American/Italian/anything not made in China knife, bro? ❤
I have reviewed sooo many not made in china knives. I like pocket knives I don’t have much of a preference which country. I’ve reviewed most of the big makers too. I don’t know what to tell you other than you have the wrong channel for the anti china stuff.
@AdvancedKnifeBro been a fan for years. Even watched your beer reviews. It's the channel for me. Your writing and delivery are awesome. Just keep wanting your content to always be down my alley. I'm selfish. Never meant to want to change your mind or make you like me. It's just that it does matter to me. And you don't post much. I like CZcams more than movies or TV. I'm am 41 am a knife fan. We're rare, bro. Keep up the great work.
Bro...get with BHQ and drop a Donut Stump Lifter already.
heehee! A Korean Dumpling Knife
My stump lifters main blade had a very mushy halfstop. Im a little disappointed
Double detents are even less safe than slipjoints.
I'm sorry to hear that, perhaps it's still inside of the BladeHQ return window?
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I have no idea. I've used it already😢
You can always send them an email- and see what they say.
I feel trolled
Wait this isn’t an opinel
Like the design, but not a fan of a double detent. If I’m going with a non locking blade, I want a slipjoint with a good half stop.
And you should start referring to digital photography as “fauxtography”.
As far as safety goes- the safety issue really isn’t with the opening and closing, I am worried about the blade getting hung up while cutting. I’ve had a few slipjoints get bound up cutting foam, rubber, or something with a really high friction coefficient and pop out of the open position. I’d rather have the half stop over the blade just swinging free when that happens.
Double detents are definitely not hard use knives.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro totally. Though I have done some rather questionable things with my case sodbuster and my BSA knife.
Me too! Do as I say not as I do!

Some feedback on the Stump Lifter: it's really hard to open especially the cap lifter. My thumb nail is all fucked up. Good knife tho.
Nothing like lifting a cap and having a fresh one after nicking your thumbnail...
Thanks for this! A few things.
1. The pull is on the strong side, and the 8 or so I've handled were all kinda how I like it. That said I know not everyone agrees with my preferences. So noting this, if there ever is another run I can do an informal poll in a future video.
2. Sometimes on QSP slip joints flushing out the pivot is helpful. It can soften the pull up a bit and cure grittiness. basically you just grab some 3-in-1 and work it in by opening and closing repeatedly and wiping off the excess, and repeating 3 or 4 minutes of working it can make a difference.
3. I don't think I've seen it called a nail ripper yet, but maybe 1 or two random comments on it being "very strong." I again haven't handled yours and sometimes there is variation in runs... so hopefully if you use it more it will begin to break in.
Again thank you! I have read all comments and take it all into consideration.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro
Hope to get one in the not so distant future !
But at a certain point in life I made the weird decision of living in France. So...
On verra bien !
If you see I have another run being placed reach out to me via email, which you can find by digging around here or on instagram. Nothing has been decided at this time though.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro
Thanks !
I'm looking forward to the happy occasion.
Dude, don’t ever feel you have to stop talking about the Stump Lifter…
To me he’s a CZcamsr :(
To this day I call a grinding jig a “green ding jeegh”
🤣 the tabletop parody. Yay happy AKB is part of the "words have meanings" camp. And I totally feel the closing comment on the fire never being lit 🥹.
As for the knife, double detent is the absolute worst mechanic for a folding knife. Far worse than slipjoint and even friction folder. Blade pops with just a hint of pressure on the spine beyond the pivot. I bought the Ki-V out of curiosity, and even a blade that small makes me fear I'll cut myself unless I use a pinch grip. Otherwise a nice looking knife and more exposure on the Shilin Knife style the better (have a Ti Chilin and it's great, but a big large and heavy for my urban edc needs); would buy if a liner lock version ever comes out. As for "detent"... I just assumed it meant the action of retaining (as in detention) rather than any physical parts... But researching now, the etymology points to French "détente", which is like a loosening or relaxtion (of tension, physical or political)... which suggests it was never meant to imply "locking". 😆 might be giving too much credit for the naming though. And the mechanism for a blade is still a bad one 😊.
Oh snap, first comment!
Certified!
Bro, that's clearly a Flipjoint!
Because it has a flipper and it slips!
Slipjoints are not called backspring something neither!
This knife looks great, too bad it's not for left-handed people.😭
Spyderco Chinese Lum
Kinda ish. Looks closer to the Shillin than the Lum. The Shillin probably was an inspiration behind the Lum.
Question for you, the horror aficionado. Have you seen Dead Alive? Considered the goriest movie ever made, using 50 gallon jugs of blood for the lawnmower scene. “I kick arse for the lord!”
I have all of peter jacksons early stuff on disc (bad taste, meet the feebles, even forgotten silver). I have been waiting to upgrade my DVD for years and the blu-ray has been long out of print. Maybe one day we'll get a 4k disc. Crossing fingers!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Meet the Feebles is demented fun. Glad they handed him Lord of the Rings lol
I know it as Braindead. Custard scene is still one of the most revolting things I've ever seen on a theatrical release 😆.
I understand that you're advanced and I'm just remedial ...but you're wrong about non locking knives being able;e to do stuff throughout history and to the present.
they could do all types of stuff, but then in 1964 the BUCK 110 was released and non locking knives instantly became ineffectual and strictly to be carried by really old dudes to clean under their fingernails.
just didn't want you accidentally spreading false information.
other wise great video ! oh and do you "film" the video ?
Very true. The 110 was basically all everyone carried, and no other knives mattered.
I’m just here to see some meatloaf get cut…
an ambidextrous knife without a reversible pocket clip... Fail.
Kizer baby as a folding knife, not very creative .......
Okay, lets all just call it "double-detent", because that would solve a lot of arguing!
And only call it Flipjoint when it has a flipper!
