MY LIFE : (UPDATE) EVERYTHING Comes To An End One Day ...Even This YT Channel...Even Me... 

I've been watching your channel for over a decade. I purchased your cutlerylover hot sauce back in the day with the little knives on each bottle. I'm 27 now and are going through some of the same things you are. In the past month, my wife and I have moved across the country, I've started a new job and am trying to balance work while spending quality time with her. I really enjoy these life updates because they are so relatable to me. I'm excited to hear more stories about your new job and see a tour of your old and new house when you deem the time is right.

Dude, you were one of my earliest introductions to EDC and a lot of really interesting things. You got me into zippos, knives, personal defense, and so much more. I remember watching your adventures with Gus from when he was a puppy until the day he passed. You've shared struggles and successes, and brought a lot of good to this community. You gave me a different perspective on so many things. There's more to life than social media and RU-vid. Thank you for sharing your life with the world, slow down and do you brother. Best of luck with everything, you've always seemed like such a genuine person and I wish you stability and consistency in whatever you do moving forward.

Nothing wrong with slowing down on YT. You must put yourself first.

dear jeff, you have been one of the reasons, why i started my channel. from time to time, people call me the german cutlerylover. keep on creating great content. without you, my channel not be created. without my channel, my knife designs would not be produced. your channel is like the stone, you smash in a lake. know what i mean? your influence hit europe. never underestimate, who you are! NEVER! your friend, Arthur

been here for 10+ years! Thank you for all of your contributions sir

Man that title made me nervous but i was pleasantly surprised good luck with the new job and thank you for the words of wisdom

I checked my youtube history and you were the 3rd channel I ever subscribed to in April 2008 for your love of knives and gear. Life changes and evolves and I hope RU-vid still manages to be a part of your life. Cheers from Australia.

Congrats on the job!! Keep on keepin' on, Brother- that's all any of us can do!!

Congrats on the new job jeff

Excited for you Jeff. A new chapter is opening, and whether daily, weekly, or even monthly videos, we’ll all be here to watch.

I really like the aesthetic of the b&w. I agree with you; it sets this series apart from your usual videos. Nice way to adapt and overcome, and find a new style out of it! Sending love from an OG followers, bud!

Been watching you since 2008! Pretty sure you were like the OG big knife and EDC channel. You really got me into knives and edc gear and also provided so much other wisdom and insight in so many other areas of life in general outside EDC. Super grateful for the years of entertainment and perspective. You do what you gotta do brother, and we'll all look forward to future videos however often they come!

Thanks Jeff!! Your videos have been awesome. Thank you for sharing yourself and your life with us✨

Been watching your channel for probably 10 years now, it's been a journey!!! Best of luck to everything you and your wife do in this crazy life!!!

Hey dude you gotta do what you have to! Don't feel bad bro! Looking forward to your future videos.

I've enjoyed your content for many many years even though much of it is for things that are illegal/disallowed/hard to get here in Scotland, but no matter what brought me some sense of peace and a constant knowing there would be a Cutlerylover video to watch if the day was rough or times were hard. Please don't disappear but absolutely go do you and get on the grind, enjoy your new job and best of luck with your move and the future ahead, it's as bright as your videos have made some not so sunny days, for me and many others.

You were the First channel i ever subscribed to on RU-vid over 15 years ago, you taught me so much about Balisongs and Quality blades. Thank you. Still consider the Peak Balisong to be the Benchmade.

Been watching since the Balisong tutorials. You were one of the first people to do that on yt. Been watching ever since.

Thanks for making content for so many years. Good luck with your new chapter and please stick around. People come and go but Cutlerylover has always been a constant force. I can't really imagine the day you stop making videos. Thanks again.

You’re channel is what introduced to me to this wonderful world of knives I thank you brother nothing wrong with slowing down I’m happy to hear your putting yourself first

Damn. Been watching since around 2008 and not having having your daily videos in the future to brighten my day makes me a little sad. That being said, congrats on the new job! That's awesome. I'm excited to see what the future holds for you once you get settled into your new job and the new house. The future looks bright!

Thank you for all the years of content, Jeff. Its been great to follow you on your life journey.

I haven't caught a vid of yours in awhile. Wishing you the best, man!

Been watching you for over 12 years Jeff. Always look forward to the life updates. It’s been fun to grow up with the channel

That jailor job sounds like a goldmine. You really missed an opportunity there.

Been watching for very easily 12 years. Have deeply enjoyed your stories. Thank you for what you’ve done.

Been a viewer since the Yabo days. I was in middle school when I started watching your vids. From the stories of the demented nurses to the cooking vids, to the zippo tricks, and all in between thanks for what you’ve done, I hope you don’t ever stop

Love you man! Been a big fan since 2011, sorry to hear that the channel may take a back seat but you’re doing the right thing. This was a good reminder that time is precious. Praying for you as you step into this new chapter.

You are the best Jeff! I have been watching every day for years now (This is OnTheEdge72 on my work computer) and it would suck to not have that daily video, but please don't completely disappear! It's such a weird thing going on here, you are literally a part of my life and daily routine. I sit in my truck during lunch and watch your daily upload while i'm eating or when i'm on the crapper first thing in the morning lol it feels like you are one of my best friends and you know very little about me. I'm always going to support you and any decision you make!

Good luck with the new job!

Jeff, after watching your videos for 10+ years. I loved watching all the edc updates, gizmos, and gadgets. But YOU yourself are the reason I'd always come watch the video. You've been a calm, honest, relatable, and fun voice that many of us simply appreciate. And from all of us, thank you for sharing. It's always a blessing brother.

Always enjoyed your videos and your channel, especially when I was really into collecting knives. Sitting back and just having your videos playing and feeing like I’m sitting with a friend while I ate my dinner and stuff. Best of luck with the new job maté wholeheartedly wish you the best.

I've first watched videos of your Balisong collection when i was 12, and now I'm 28 years old and occasionally looking at your videos

The title and thumbnail combo definitely had me worried lol But good to hear some good news

Good Luck Holmes, everything changes eventually unfortunately 😂. Very glad you and Christina pulled together and stayed together after a life changing event. Sometimes it’s to much for one person to change. May God bless you and your family Jeff, your good people, and I’ve been here watching from almost day one. Stay up ⬆️

Ive also been a fan for a long, long time. Since middle school i think. Am 27 now. I have a heavy zippo collection because of you and also got into balisongs. I know so many cool tricks thanks to your videos a ton of awesome bar tricks. Thanks for all the videos homie and im here as long as youre making videos.

hey man. i love the videos I've been watching forever. may i suggest that once you get settled, just have fun with youtube again. i love the random videos, everything from knives and guns to hot sauce and food and the fishing videos. try some stuff and fun when you have time. Maybe it can bring the channel back up more.

Hey Jeff, it's really great watching this video. I started watching you when I was 16 and am 33 now. You should be really proud of the ride you've had and the way in which you're winding things down. You were always kind, open to new ideas and thoughts. If there was ever a drama you had or were involved with, I couldn't name it. Your positivity and fun content have triumphed thru the years. Be well and we'll be ringing the bell for the new vids when you can.

Another great video man! You and I are about the same age, so watching both of us grow and develop has been incredible. A lot of us have been watching since the beginning and you are the one creator that I'll watch whatever they put out. Thank you so much for being there for us, now it's our turn to be there for you 👍

Good luck with this new chapter in your life!

Been watching from EU for a long long time... Congrats on the new job! You're a RU-vid staple for me!

ive been watching you since i was about 11 or 12. i think weve emailed or wrote letters in the past, it helped a lot with my own struggles i was dealing with at the time. im 29 now and still check in on your channel. ive never lost interest in knives, edc, or bushcraft even all these years later. thanks for always being a place where all of us can come together and feel familiar

Good on ya for prioritizing your family and what matters most. I just left my career of over 11 years because it consumed me and I wasn’t spending time with those that matter most. I’ve been watching your channel for well over 11 years and love the content you put out. Good luck with everything. Also, you’re spot on with the jail vs prison thing.

Needed to hear this message today. Thanks and Goodluck.

Congrats on the new job. Change can bring a lot of good things.

been watching for over a decade, take care of yourself dude, I'll watch whatever you manage to upload going forward. good luck with your future.

I have been watching you since the beginning, and you were the reason I got into knives, pipes etc. Thanks Jeff for 10+ years.

I remember I was a little kid obsessed with balisongs when I first came across your videos best knife tuber

Been watching you since I was 14. I’m now 25 and feel everything you discussed in this video..keep your head up you’re doing great!

Been watching your content for the better part of 10 years. Your videos got me through the hardest times in my life. At my poorest I only owned my clothes on my back, my car and my crappy copy of a benchmade. Finding a job in my very very rural area is extremely difficult and you said it best where people aren't hiring for substance of employees. It's great having someone your age having a perspective like that.

I have had a love for knives ever since I was 5 years old I started watching your videos around 2012-2013 when I was 10 or 11. Originally found you when I got into balisongs and would watch your tutorials. Your channel and videos are a part of my childhood memories. Thank you for the knowledge I’ve learned from you over the years. Good luck to the future for you.

Hey Jeff, just wanted to say I’ve been watching for at least 8 years probably more(no longer have access to my original yt). You introduced me to a lot of amazing things. Even though I don’t stay as up to date on your videos as I used to, I just wanted to to the time to say that you for everything you’ve done over the years

Hey Jeff, Been following you ever since the beginning, I found your balisong videos when I was in 7th or 8th grade (2007 or 2008) and while that early content really spoke to my adolescent interests in cool gadgets, sharp things, fire, etc, I feel like I've grown parallel to you over the years in a way that's been so relatable. You played with knives when I played with knives. You enjoyed gourmet, novelty hot sauces when I did. You enjoyed tobacco, vapes, and beer when I did, and you set them aside from your life when I did. You've learned so much about yourself from letting another person into your life unconditionally, and I've had that fortune as well. Every time you post one of these humble takes on life, I empathize and reflect on what I've learned about myself recently, too. Now, although I still enjoy the cool gear and hobbies, it's your funny story times and heartfelt musings on life that make me really value your channel and your content. You're a special guy who never let the fame get to his head, you've always stayed humble and engaged, and your love for what you do has always shone through. And while I think it's terrible that RU-vid hasn't been as lucrative for you over the last several years as it should have been, I'm glad to know that you get some enjoyment out of sharing your life and producing content. Hopefully as much as we, your loyal audience, get from watching it. Over the years, at every step, whether it was in 2010, or 2014, or 2017, or 2020, or last year, or now, whenever I've gone to the comments of ANY video there are always several people talking about how they've been watching for years. I don't know any other channel on this platform like that. Given how fast-paced the internet is, that kind of longevity is unheard of. You're true old school RU-vid, and you're a pretty damn good guy to boot. I'll always enjoy what you're willing to share on the platform, even if it has to slow down a bit to accommodate life. Grateful for all of the things you've shared with us over the years. And here's to many more!! With gratitude, Gabe

Good Luck to you bud! Always enjoyed your videos! God bless and praying for ya!

Dude I’ve been watching you since like 2009. Thanks for the years of dedication and quality content. Good luck with the new job!

I’ve been watching for years & thank you for the content Jeff, good luck on the new job & the move. I was blessed to have a fire department job for 32 and now retired. Now I’m home worrying like you said, my worries just change as time passes.

Thank you Jeff for all the great videos good luck.

Hey man, I’m happy for you. Im 30 years old and I’ve watched you from the beginning. Love to see you grow. Proud of you amigo.

Thank you for your contributions to YT and the EDC genre. You, Nutnfancy, and many others have been core parts of RU-vid and inspiring the self defense/EDC. Thank you for your effort and videos over the years.

We love you, Jeff. You do what you feel is necessary, and we will respect it! Been subscribed since forever, and as strange as a parasocial youtube relationship is, it feels as if you are my friend. And I always wish friends the best in life!

I’ve been watching you since I was damn near 9-10 years old I’m 21 now you were my first introduction into edc and the wonders of gadgetry thank you for being a big part of what made me who I am today.

I’ve been watching you for 15 years. I mostly lurk but have enjoyed checking in on your life. All the best to you Jeff.

Good luck sir. Sounds like a good opportunity.

I have watched your videos for like 13 years now, your Channel has been a constant through Most of my live as a Teen and Young adult. As Long as you do content, i will be watching. Dont worry about uploading like once a week or once a month. We will be here.

I'm gonna miss your daily videos. You were my very first channel subscription on YT on 01/09/12. Wish you and yours all the best! Looking forward to your updates in the future.

I'm lucky to have been around since your balisong videos, just waiting for each new one to come out tomorrow. I was 11 then. My parents joked that you were the big brother I always wanted. I've learned a lot over the years from your videos and advice. I appreciate your reliability greatly as your videos were, through much of my life, the only reliable thing I could expect. I'm lucky to have grown up watching your content since the early days. We'll all miss the daily upload, but I think that'll make the weekly ones even sweeter. I'm glad you're choosing to prioritize your wife and life in your next chapter. We've never met, but I'll always be cheering you on from afar. Thank you for being a source of wisdom, wit, and stability for me and many others all these years. Cheers, Chris from Maine

I found your channel looking for balisong tricks. It opened me the doors to other knife and gun channels. I am a gun nut now, partially thanks to you😃

big congrats on the new job!

Great video dude . I hope things go well for you on your new journey. Life is like a box of chocolates.....you know the rest.

Thank you for your content jeff. Please don't stop making your annual Christmas video. Lol. That's all I ask!

I wish you all the best, Jeff... My hope is that you will still keep us in the loop, perhaps weekly if you can. Your channel is absolutely outstanding, and you are the most sincerest youtuber out there, in my opinion. Your "My Life" stories are the best! Love when you share yourself with us. Thank you for always keeping it real, and keeping it so interesting. Lifetime fan here. :) Best of luck with your move and new job!

Jeff, I just want to say thank you. I’ve been watching your videos for over 10 years. I wish you much luck and success with this next chapter of your life - peace

I’m glad that you are getting everything squared away. Family is definitely THE most important thing in our lives. 🤘🏻👍🏻👊🏻

Good luck with everything changing for you! Got to do what’s best for you and the wife! Also, so many people talked crap about nickleback but everyone liked them even if they won’t admit it they liked them!

Good luck Jeff 💯 I think I've been here for the 16 years 😅

Brother i been watching since i was 11 and im 26 now much respect to you and good luck

Thanks for the video - very relatable. Hope all is well.

Stay optimistic, Jeff. We'll always be wrecklesseating fans!!

I have not watched all of your videos for the last 16 years, but I have watched more than half at least. I have enjoyed following your journey and wish you the best in the next chapter now. Live your life first and throw us a bone when you have some spare time. I look forward to more of the story times from the house and neighborhood you are leaving. 😁😁

been watching since your original balisong flipping tutorials GG good luck - i still want a BM42

I’ve been watching for probably around 13-14 years, started when I was 11-12 and caught the bug for knives and I learned 90% of everything from you and Nutnfancy. You also got me into Zippos! Really really appreciate everything over the years and there ain’t nothing wrong with slowing down RU-vid for life.

You know what they say, "Happy knife, happy life..." 😉 I've enjoyed and trusted your videos for a long time now. Best wishes in the future!

Jeff, I have been watching you since 6/7th grade. All your zippo vids your edc, knifes, gear, lights all your collections, etc. I’m 26 years old now and still watch majority of your vids. You made a big impact in my childhood. You always had a such chill genuine vibe to you bro. Thank you for all the memories and happy to see what’s the future holds. Congrats brother on your new job! We’ll always rock with you Jeff 🦅⚔️🇺🇸

Surely you can get some sponsored videos? Over 500k subs regardless of views

15 year viewer, I have enjoyed your content since basically the beginning. You taught myself along with so many others so much about knives and gear in general. Thanks for all the time and effort spent to entertain and educate us, I really appreciate it. Best of luck in the new career!

Hang in there, you have been a great asset to the community and personally there were a few times that I had questions or posted a video response and asked you a question and you always responded. You are one of the few people on RU-vid that I have followed the longest and you have always just been real and yourself and I have always appreciated that about you. Do what you need to do man we will still be here waiting to see the gear or the lighters or hot sauce or see you throw up trying rotten canned fish

Good luck and I wish you all the best. . .

A video every day for 16 years is a gargantuan achievement! You're one of the people whose vids I love to watch no matter the content. You're good at explaining things like myself, you have cool story time vids, you're entertaining, and informative about new and interesting products. Thank you for all you do Jeff, and congrats on your new job! Enjoy all the time you can with your wife and family, for we are never promised tomorrow. God bless, and I'll be right here whenever you post more vids! -Adam 🤜🤛

You are one of the realest dude, Bali song for life

I'll have to come back and finish this video, but I went back and checked. You were the 1st channel I sucribed to on Sept 5th 2013; followed by Gavko knives and TuffThumbz. Now I know I was watching your channel before then on a laptop, but I didn't break down and sucribe to anything until I finally gave in and got a smart phone.

I’ve been watching for probably around 12-13 years, started when I was 11-12 when I started collecting knives and I learned 90% of everything from you and Nutnfancy. Also got me into Zippos! Really really appreciate everything over the years and there ain’t nothing wrong with slowing down

Sad to see you go, but glad to have found you.

Jeff, we love you! Your personality is amazing ❤

Started around 16-17 now I’m 26. You got me into pipe tobaccos, knives and just trying to find hobbies out there to keep me busy. I’ll always support your channel jeff

You are a legend Jeff. A RU-vid OG and how I got into knives.

Enjoy your new life Jeff. Stay calm and go with it. I always say "Just hold on for the ride". 😊

Been watching your vids for over ten years.Always enjoyed it and looked forward to it. Its a shame how You Tube has made things so difficult for such great channels. God Bless. You're one of my top ten favorites, so no matter how few vids you post, Ill be looking them up.

I’ve been a long long long time subscriber. I watch the daily. I always look forward to them. Came across a “Story Time” way back and really enjoyed it and was touched by a lot that you said. I thought that this was the content of your and subscribed. Never putting any thought in your channel’s name. Then was surprised at all the other content and looked at it as a bonus. Sorry you are going through a change but are glad to see how well you’re dealing with it and your attitude. When I listen to you, I am grateful for how personal you are with your followers but really respect your relationship with your wife and family. I hope nothing but the best for you and your wife. I look forward to whatever comes from your future videos. Keep it up! And thank you for the many years of enjoying your always interesting content. Love and God bless you and your family always

As someone who hasn't be watching the videos all too often, but have seen the recent streak of not good announcements; great to hear there are some good news. Take care.

Love you Jeff, been watching you for as long as I can remember.
