Ten Questions for REC + Announcing Our Exclusive BBK Raptor! - REC Report S2 E7 

I got into knives when the price of ammo went thru the roof in 2020. Then when i found out that REC was only like 20 min from my work it was all over.

Luckily I was born into it! My father made knives for Chicago Cutlery and for eternity my father's side has carried knives for hunting,fishing, and EDC ! I got so lucky!

Also Riley is a riot trying to get Evan to change his carry!

29:12 don't ever be sorry about a long video guys. Always a pleasure. I listen to it as a podcast. The image is here but it's watching me more than I'm watching it !

The natural flow of these conversations is getting way better. Keep up the good work

E/R/E ... Guys, I think this has been your best report yet (kudos to Erica/notyouraverageedc). It was great to hear your answers to many of these blade-enthusiast questions while dwelling on my own replies. I think I have to go with Riley as to Spartan being the one and only fixed/folder manufacturer if I had to choose (but shutter at the thought). Looking forward to that BBRaptor exclusive and ... a "huge" comedic wrap by David. Thanks. Oh yeah ... since just seven days stranded ... bottle of Woodford Reserve (case of Blanton's if forever ...).

I started carrying knives as a kid when my pops would give me his old (usually pretty dull) spyderco knives as hand me downs. As an adult, I would carry them for work, but usually just cheaper ones. I got back into higher end knives when covid hit and I worked from home. Work was super slow and I had a bunch of time on RU-vid. Now it’s pretty deep.

I literally laughed out loud multiple times! What a great take on Ericas 20 questions, I love it!!

I totally agree - dinner with Sal would be awesome. Would love to pick his brain and listen to his stories

I’ve always carried a knife of some sort. Sometimes it was a Swiss Army Knife, sometimes it was just a plastic handled utility knife and other times it was a cheap gas station knife. I got into the RU-vid knife community during the Covid lockdowns and my carry has significantly improved in the last two years.

1. Large fixed blade like my Helm Grind Mightor 2. Dependable firestarter 3. A steel pot 4. A fishing net

Cool video guys! I was always into knives and swords because I liked martial arts movies as a kid (still do). My first knife was a green sak classic when I was 8. As an adult I got into whittling on sticks when I was bored. Started looking for an affordable fixed blade when my uncle turned me on to cold steel recon 1's and the voyager series. 10 years later I'm watching knife videos at 1am and playing with hinderers, microtechs, spyderco, and knives from all the other big companies.

Great video! I am still in the goldfish phase of collecting where I go “Ooh a knive……(pause a few days)…Ooh a knife!”. That track is stuck on repeat in my playlist. I am glad that I didn’t have to face any of those questions.

The “what knife would you be” was hilarious!! Fun video guys!!

Fun show, fun questions. Excited to see more REC Exclusives to be announced this year.

Fourth item that would actually be useful: I was thinking a tarp, so many things you could use one for... shelter, rain water collection, just to name a couple.

Three knives for life for me would be a Tactile Rockwall Thumbstud in Magnacut, An Urban EDC Supply F5.5 Black Micarta Acid Etch Blade and an Urban EDC Supply Nessie

Thanks a lot DAVID! Now I can’t unsee the Norseman!!

Watching REC report while buying a Vero from REC at the same time! That’s how you REC

Blade hq videos got me into knives. You guys have helped keep the addiction strong

Every video just progressively gets better and better. This has been the best REC Report so far. It looks like it's becoming more natural for you guy's to be in front of the camera. I'm not sure if this question has been asked but I'll ask it anyway. What is your guy's preferred grind on a knife and why? 🤙

finally had the time to watch an entire episode. nice work guys!

That exclusive raptor looks sick!

Perfect intro Evan 😂 STAY CLASSY!

Another great one.

Great Vid Guys!! You rock Evan🙏🏻✌🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

Good show and good questions! The pocket dump was good but not nearly as epic as the last one. :D

Got into knives because of COVID, cool community, lots to learn for me

Esee Junglas. A Fire steel. 10 x 10 tarp. 25 oz clean canteen.

I got into knives by losing a horrible gas station knife at the airport, when I went to buy a new one I looked up a top 10 list on youtube and I was totally hooked, I had no idea there were such awesome knives out there

I use to keep my phone in right pocket. It's been months now in the left pocket. Knife use to be back right pocket with wallet. It's not front right pocket. With a 5th pocket knife. Wallet and Hank in left back pocket. And then a leather slip in back right pocket with flashlight prybar and pen. Or some sort of mini EDC pouch instead of the slip. I watch by video ✔️

Watching video now, I want to learn more about the Brian Brown Raptor that I ordered yesterday.

Awesome channel

Definitely been in the knife game for as long as I can remember. Facebook ig and RU-vid definitely helped advance my interest. But I've always had a knife. Gas station walmart etc. Just got older and able to spend more on better pieces. Ken onion was one of the 1st makers i Definitely fell in love with getting me out of the gas station knife market. Currently on a treadmill sweating fat ass off listening while glancing at the video. I'm on the cool down part now so that's how I'm able to comment without falling off! Haha. But yes always listening if I cant watch.

It's all good Evan, I'm a small 21 too 😄

I had knives but I got into the knife community as they say from watching CutleryLover and NutnFancy.

I've just started watching your channel, and you guys are really great! Loved questions and answers--really made me think about how I'd answer too. I did have one question...is there a Manix LW conversion kit being sold (to convert from pins to torx)? And if so, where can it be found?

Evan inspired me to get my black bay 58 with that awesome Tudor he's wearing. Any rundown on what all watches are in the collection?

If I was stranded on an island 1) I would prefer more than a week, I got some shit in m head to sort out. 2) give me a pot, an esee 6, a good ferro rod and a smaller blade for whittling/crafting

There is a better way Evan! Come to the light!

I would want to hangout with Fred Perrin. He seems like a really down to Earth guy.

My dad got me into knives at a young age, but when I was looking for a fixed blade camp knife Blade Forums kept popping up, so I joined and fell down the rabbit hole.

David sounds like a real equestrian lol

"A good book"? Haha I'd bring Everett, boom, checkmate!

I'm watching I really like the content and yall just funny to me
