What I REALLY think about the Dessert and Wiener Warrior Knives! 

Let me know if you love these or hate these!

My son collects the Boker Kalash knives. He started out with the one with the bright neon green blade, then got the neon blue. Then it was every oddball one they’ve come out with since. He got the Wiener Warrior as his 21st birthday present. The ones he’s got are just plain fun, goofy and quirky. Knives don’t always have to be about serious stuff. They don’t always have to be the latest and greatest tacticool knife. Sometimes you need fun for the sake of fun.

I'm glad you made this - it's nice to see more makers who get it; this industry doesn't have to always be soo serious.

Very solid points. These knives show just how light hearted edc can be. I’ve seen several posts where people have a whole edc collection of donut stuff and it’s so awesome because it makes them happy. I think the Wiener Warrior is hilarious. Also, I need to get it for the price point alone. $69. Nice 👌🏻

Now if Boker will make this in an XXL version and call it the “footlong”. I’ll buy it in a heartbeat as well. Hilarious because the comedy potential is through the roof!!!!

Interesting background story on these! Totally agree, they are fun an opportunity to start w conversation. I don’t (and likely won’t) own anything like these but I’m glad they’re around for the folks who dig collecting them!

This is a really good take on the Dessert Warrior/Weiner Warrior variants. Definitely going a long way to minimize the stigma that a knife is inherently 'scary or dangerous'. Keep up the great product and content work Tom!

I bought a We Knife Dessert Warrior and a Civivi Dessert Warrior and love them both. Different Strokes for Different Folks. I have also bought top of the line Protech, Microtech, Benchmade, and countless other excellent knives. These novelty knives are fun to own, and make me smile, and make fun gifts for friends.

Definitely agree. I personally wouldn’t buy any of these, but I still like them 😅 Glad these are around, because I like watching people posting pics of these and even carrying them. How boring would the world be if we carry all the same stuff.

I agree with a ton of the stuff your saying here. This is a hobby and people love having goofy stuff in their collections. For me, as a chef, I'm planning on getting this as a fun item to have at work. Will it see the pocket everyday? Nope. Will I show it off at work or when I'm grilling at home with my friends? Absolutely.

Very powerful! Thanks Tom

I made the nearly the same video several months back and had the same perspective. Couldn’t agree with you more on every point you made. Well done and we’ll said! Good stuff brother 👊🏻

Hell yah, stoked to have some Notorious EDC pop up on my RU-vid feed again. This hobby is supposed to be fun, I’m all for it. Congratulations again on the new duds Tom 🤘

Awesome video and commentary Tom. You're a real natural in front of the camera! Keep it coming man!

As you said “personal choice, fun”. I love it. 👍. Keep doing it.

Great video I wish I was more into this myself but after watching I feel like I can enjoy it even more now tho. Keep thr videos coming

Glad to see some content Tom! I don’t mind the “silly” knives. I have a few of the Dessert warrior knives and would like to add the 🌭 as well. They’re fun imo!

Great video Tom thanks for sharing. I love the Dessert Warrior theme! I have my collection of sprinkle donut gear & it does make me happy! I don't think I like the hotdog either, but it's really fun too. Thanks again & take care! 😸👊🏻💥💥💥👍🏻

You nailed this video all the way. These are fun, regardless of the butthurt they cause. I’d say more fun because of that. I have a ton of the Dessert Warrior stuff strictly for the fun factor. These most likely got thousands of non knife people into knives and EDC in general. I don’t carry my donut stuff, but I’m somewhat of a collector of multiple things. When I first saw these, I was a fan of the silliness. I’d even buy a Dessert Warrior Big Poppa if it was ever a thing.

Spot on man. I agree 100% with everything.

Great video Tom. My thoughts exactly on this whole deal. Everyone likes what they like. Who am I to say it’s wrong. May just not be for me.

I got a Mini one with a Clip Point blade in all black in AUS-8, a mini Desert Warrior with the Spear Point blade in D2, and a normal sized Dessert Warrior Remix, and I love them all!

Great job sir

I love them! I’m personally not going to spend my limited cash resources on them, but I love the creativeness and ingenuity that goes into making these products. It allows you to be unique and it’s great to have options out there.

Subscribed, sir. Cheers!

Good take! Unfortunately I live in CA so can't get to og auto versions, but the Elementum is def in my edc rotation and it does reduce the worry of onlookers when I pull it (usually just to open boxes or mail).

Agreed. people mad at these couple funny colorways of knives that already exist and have 50 versions already. I got the donut civivi elementum for my gf because she doesnt feel comfortable carrying a knife but it was cute enough that she wasn't scared of it. now she just sits at her computer flicking it open all day, and when she goes out it's become part of her EDC.

If you worked a Weinerschnitzel like I did and you got an email from blade HQ saying that you could buy a hotdog knife you don't have a choice and have to buy one! I did anyway and actually love it but I work in a kitchen and people ask me for a knife sometimes this is perfect for that situation

It's basically a new type of camo hiding the "scary" aspect of knives. I love it and already ordered mine 😂 🌭

Tom dropping KNOWLEDGE

Think they’re a kinda cool i wanted one before I entered and no knife land great video Tom

I think people should do what they like. I dig the donut stuff. Don’t know about wiener warrior for my own collection though.

Great video. Agree 100%. There are those that are into EDC purely for the utility. Carry only what you use and use what you carry. Then there are those that are into EDC for the hobby. Collect and even color match gear. Similar to bag nerds, sneaker heads, or the like. Sadly the utilitarian group hates that the hobbyists are getting involved. It happens in every community, though. But the more people that get involved, the more cool shit we get to see - on both sides of the spectrum.

I wouldn't spend my personal money on the Weiner knife but I'm not hating on it either. I'm sure it's a great conversation piece at a party and is good for a laugh. And you make a good point about the color/design on a knife can make it less intimidating. I may have to make a donut or weiner AR build? 👀

Yeah Thanks Blade HQ. I had to buy the Dessert warrior civivi knife for all women in my life.

I am always a fan of letting people be themselves. And if it makes them happy to own a hotdog knife hell yeah buy a hotdog knife. My collecting and acquiring things for EDC has plummeted and I'm focused on getting high end pieces far less frequently and that's what makes me happy. And some people think that's dumb. So to each their own!

nice, i don't like the hot dog knife, but agree like the mermaid it's a fun way to include people who wouldn't be into knives perhaps..... thanks for the video..

I think it’s great for a smile and fun . It’s not for me though but I would defintely get one for my sister or sister in law

I agree they are fun, but not my style. I would never own one personally, but I could see myself or others grabbing it as a gag gift or something. Great Video, man!

Call it a cash grab and you clearly don’t understand business. You’d be dumb to hav customers banging down your door and not make what they are willing to purchase. Great video. I’ll continue to buy what makes me happy, including a beer bomb at next drop 😂🙌🏻

I’ve been looking for the pink blade boker model! It’s freakin beautiful and impossible to find

i totally argee to you on this topic

Great take. Calling something a "cash grab" for a business is weird. It's a business. People spend their money on things they want. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I got the donut Elementum because I thought it was funny. I believe the Weiner Warrior is funny, too, but I don't plan to buy one. It's existence hasn't ruined my day either, haha.

Completely agree with you

So while this seems like a silly idea, you take and expand on the importance of individual expression, the softer side of edc, and how to appeal to people interested but may be afraid to see what exactly the community is and is about. Taking the time to talk about this kinda stuff goes a long way. People are scared of what they don’t understand. Thank you for setting the example for others to follow.

When are we going to get a full length video on the sax collection

I also think it's important. People are so fragile and gatekeep-y about knives.

*"Destigmatizing", is what I think these blades are great for.* *I would never buy one myself, but I would love to be gifted the Автомат Калашникова; because I like AKs a lot.* *These knives to me would be great for doing tasks in front of snowflakes, (opening an envelope in a Bank, etc.), but the reaction from a criminal during self defense, would be horrible, and lean toward forcing it's use.* *I'd rather THEY run away than test my determination of violence.* *Your thoughts make good sense, aiding the nescient's understanding of this "Dessert" concept.* 👍

Agree!

Love.

I want all of them

I do like the donut themed ones. Not a fan of the hot dog knife. I don’t get mad about knives that I don’t care for. It just means it is not for me. It may be for others and that’s ok

Gravediggaz, six feet deep!!

I wanna see a Becker BK2 Campanion Dessert Warrior.😅

It’s not to my taste but it is abut of fun. The thought of a knife and carrying in the uk strikes fear so yeah I can see the sense Tom

There is nothing wrong with selling a product that is just for fun. I don't particularly like the looks of the Wiener Warrior. But it would be hilarious to pull out at a family reunion or picnic.

i got the weiner warrior from the fedex guy around 6 hours ago, i been playing with it for 5 hours now

Why would anyone get upset over it ? I don't get it. Love the hotdog knife and totally want one.

I’m a hypocrite since I don’t like the over saturation of the gimmick knife but I bought my tactile knife co Bexar that looks like an old school game controller 😂

i wouldnt buy these but i would take a zelda themed version

Still maintain that they're dumb, but it does de-stigmatize knives, so I can't get on board with that.

If you don't like something don't buy it, can'y see getting mad about it though, Weiner knife is a winner!

Cool silly knives, they even have Kydex gun holsters with the same print!

I want a Wiener Warrior Para 3 lol

👍🍻

These knives are not something I would buy. I’m not a big fan of them. However, if I was gifted one, I would not complain. I think they’re neat, they’re just not my style.

(love) Sub'd, I'm guessing we'll be at 2k in an hour or so :)

Why do people care what others like? I like happy things

Knives for qurrrz.

Those are ghaaay

What girly men carry.

blade hq embracing their trans side

Not a fan at all

I think that they look too much like toys and kids that otherwise wouldn't reach for a knife those kids are more likely to reach for the knives and get hurt.
