Staying married for 40 years and raising 6 kids is the manliest thing I've done, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro...and I can't take much credit for it. That's all I got.
Now that I know you're a Morrowind fan, I love this channel even more. Been subbed for quite a while - you're content is exceptional and very refreshing in an over saturated market of sub par, uninformed, unrealistic knife reviews/ Keep at it! Stay sharp.
I love this knife.. this has been my budget favorite of the year. The manly wasp was so enjoyable for me, I ended up ordering a peak. I really love what manly is doing. They are simple and good looking to me. Great review buddy 👌
@israel is bad mkay tribal warfare is bad mkay No it's not, getting to know women and continue to love them takes huge balls, and most of us finally find a way to do it somehow. By the way, your name is gay as fuck (wanted to tell you that long ago), you're obviously a shallow, know nothing significant, push over. *It's your fault, your ignorance on both issues took me out of my ordinary temperament. Hope you learn something out.
I like these guys. Just bought a peak in D2. Their knives are cumbersome (as all modern knives are) and ugly as shit, but they're wizards with their heat treat. Their s90v holds up to par with Spyderco's . Considering they're from Bulgaria, where the state gives little businessess hell with the documentation, and work out of a workshop in a dilapidated factory area with stray dogs, on the outskirts of Sofia, they're doing a really marvelous job...
I have been carrying daily a Manly WASP in S90V for about a year. I don't chop down trees or whittle full size grizzly bear statues from wood with it. I do what I think most people do with their knives. I cut open boxes, I cut boxes into small strips for trash with it. I also cut the odd apple or zip tie with it. I have found it to be a phenomenal slicer. The blade has held up so well I have only stropped and not had to sharpen it. I like this knife so much I just ordered a couple of other Manly models. As far as I am concerned you can spend more money for a higher end knife, but you can't buy a much better slip joint knife.
Manliest thing I've ever done? I worked construction nearly 40 years, including as an iron worker, hunted and fished for nearly 50 years of my life, but I've never cried at a wedding, a funeral, or when I heard the Jim Beam distillery burned down... not in public anyway.
So nice to get at least one video per week again. Great video, I was quite interestet in this brand. I hope your move in went smoothly and that we see more of you! Keep it up.
Thanks for the video. I have the Wasp in S90V. Crazy edge retention, solid, reliable. I use it daily and I don't see myself needing another one. And the quality to price ratio is huge.
I came for the knife review, I stayed for the obscure ass elder scrolls 3 reference. And a real man abuses the hell out of the alchemy system to create levitation potions that turn them into fighter jets.
I use mine at work, mainly on cardboard and nylon strapping and have no real complaints other than the notchy closing thing. It’s great for cutting up apples too but the s90v doesn’t make them taste metallic so I guess you can’t have everything lol
I have absolutely no interest in any of the Manly knives, but It's been a long fuckin day and you're a weird nerd like me, sometimes you make me laugh. Thanks man.
Personally I don't like this knife, it's not tactical enough and it doesn't have a lanyard hole for all of my colorful beads. How am I supposed to impress my coworkers when I'm cutting open boxes? And why doesn't this come in magenta? 0/10
I'm glad to discover I'm not alone in thinking this a Very Silly Name. I mean, Manly, really...they might as well have gone the whole hog and called it Big Dick. Maybe it doesn't have the same naff connotations in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I've never done anything manly because here in the UK you get locked up for even thinking manly thoughts. However, strange as it may seem to people in our US provinces, this knife (I have it in the digi camo - how manly is that?) is a blinding illustration of the monumental stupidity of our knife laws. I am criminalised for carrying my Opinel No 6 to cut my apple at my picnic in the countryside (that shameful violent racist homophobic super-scary offensive collar ring 'lock'), whereas the Wasp is a perfectly legal carry. As to the knife itself, yes, I like it a lot, I carry it often, it performs excellently, and you can't really deduct marks just because it wins the 'Most Retarded Knife Brand Name' award.
We do yard work! Us old guys do yard work. Dressed appropriately in jorts (Jean shorts) any model New Balance or Rockport shoes and a slightly snug t-shirt. Refusing to go larger to the XXL because it makes you “feel” fat. So I’ve heard. Great video for a youngster.
Great review thanks. Living in the UK I look to the less aggressive slipjoints if I’m going to carry a knife in public. Only recently started collecting a few knives (ok quite a few). It’s so addictive!
Welcome to CA and the local by local knife laws :-(. State is getting rich with reviewers. Manliest thing I have done is move to CA, I feel the pain daily :-).
The only reason hardcore traditional slip joint people hate on modern super steels and pocket clips is because it wasn't available back then or be it wasn't thought up yet. you know damn well if super steels and pocket clips was standard on slip joints back then opinions would be much different now. Yeah because making something easier to remove for your pocket and go longer between sharpenings such a horrible thing
Jumping out of planes, repelling out of helicopters, riding bucking horses, hunting predatory animals...etc, but I have to agree with others on here...being a husband and father is the manliness thing one can do👍
I'm in the UK... Land of The Easily Offended and Entitled where we are dumbed down to the lowest common denominator and where even quietly mentioning a love of knives and pointy things renders One shunned from polite society. (Fine by me... I have a loathing for such company). Being miserable, cynical, old, bewildered and confused, I so I loved your humour for the refreshment it brought to my battered old soul and the laughter it dragged up from the fetid depths of my foul despair. I'm sure you get the picture. I'm still here chuckling and what's more, to make things even worse, you've further weakened my resolve to resist buying this knife; I was rather clinging on to the faint hope you'd say it was rubbish and that I should Man Up, drink my milk, clutch at myself for comfort and crawl up to bed in a manly fashion before Nurse gets cross. I find it increasingly hard to crawl in such a fashion so I'm much relieved I can now buy this rather splendid knife with something approaching a good conscience and thereby also feel the increase in testicular growth, (albeit late in the day, at sixty-bleddy-seven-and-counting). Just on this review, I have subscribed. Keep up the good work old son. {:o))))
i love slipjoints... when you are cutting the pressure comes from down to up so to me it makes zero sense to hate on slipjoints.. i love em even for hard use ( realistic hard use not youtube batonning hard use )
It seems that at some stage Manly took on board the criticism about the brand name being on the pocket clip. Just bought one in S90V here in the UK and it just has the symbol (a tulip perhaps???) on the top of the clip. If you live somewhere with laws criminalising carrying locking folders ''without good reason'' then these are a fantastic option.
Northern California or Southern? The gun laws here suck, but the knife laws aren't too bad. You can carry any sized locking folder concealed and any sized fixed blade openly.
I boofed a grizzly bear once. The he caught feelings and it got weird. He was super clingy and was always trying to get me to eat salmon and shit in the woods.
seems like a cool lil slicer, now i ordered a week ago and still no shipping info, ppl praise manly for CS but a week is too long imo unless its semi custom which it isnt.
@@mackhomie6 Yes I am serious, I've actually done these things in my life. The last 2 are skills I set out to learn and achieved and the fist one. Was a case of self-defense, I was up against 2 bitter. Homeless guy's, they knew I practiced karate so they wanted to see how good. My skills were and I injured both of them, to be honest I wish it could. Have been avoided but they wouldn't leave me alone.
I haven’t used a slip joint since I was a kid. The blades slipped closed and cut my fingers way too many times. I think the laws that restrict lock blade knifes. Can you imagine a hammer that folded in half and didn’t lock? That would be about as fun to use as a non-locking knife.
Still love to read the comments for this channel. THere are some good ones. So, how does an Adv Knife Bro deal with moving to a state with more restrictive knife laws?
Aesthetically, it sort of reminds me of the Gerber LST, but I guess for me that isn't necessarily a bad thing since I kind of prefer plain-looking knives. It's refreshing to see slightly taller blade profiles, G10 handles, and options for overkill steels in a slip-joint.
Tip up carry is less manly. Tip down places your thumb by thumb stud when you take it out of pocket allowing you to flick it open faster and get into the knife fight.
@@mackhomie6 most people can be wrong and that's ok. I base my opinion off real world experiences such as quick deployment in one uniform or another over the past 22 years when seconds matter, time in combat zones, knife fights, etc.
Ironically I feel less manly when a slipjoint closes by accident taking a slice out of a finger. Literally, there is less of me (by a slice of skin). And I cry like a girly girl.
