What Knives Do Blade HQ Employees Carry? | Knife Banter Ep. 60 

This made My Day

I am a broke guy from Oregon so I can't really afford an expensive knife... but I finally had the opportunity to purchase the Benchmade Bugout I love it and use it every single day as my EDC highly recommend!

I carry a Gerber paraframe tano pocket folder. Had it for years. While reshaping has taken away the tanto shape and use has peeled away the paint, it works shockingly well. I thought by this point I would of broken it or something. My co workers even played around and stabbed it into a tree, tip still holding strong. No sign of rust and still works and doesn't break under force or time so far. Love it and trust my life on just from my personal experience with it

I'm so poor that I used foil I found in a bin, squashed it with my bare hands into a flat piece of metal and sharpened it on a brick wall outside my local KFC store

Holy Cow! You guys are all awesome! At the end of the video Ben said we would grade your EDC in the comments. The response and overall radness of how many knife guys and gals are out there carrying cool stuff is too much to individually go through and grade. If you commented and love the knife you are carrying you get an 'A.' If you got the knife from Blade HQ you get an extra 10 points you over achiever you:. As always thank you for all the support! Stay sharp. -Zac

You should do a store/building tour and an edc knife banter

Pro tip for all robbers: NEVER, I mean NEVER attempt to rob Blade HQ

Dear BladeHQ Congratulations on the new building. Never stop being you & thanks for the videos. Sincerely, knife enthusiasts everywhere.

I actually got a chance to show Zac and Jamie mine at bladeshow atlanta. My personal favorite is my Boker Plus Strike. Tanto point with partial serrations, AUS-8 steel in black stonewash finish with coyote brown aluminum handles, put an orange and black paracord lanyard on it to give it a little flare. My all time favorite knife.

Seriously I think BladeHQ would be an awesome place to work.

I carry a Benchmade bugout. Love that knife. Easy to open and close, lightweight and razor sharp.

4:46 me and my Victoria knox crying in the corner

I’m EDCing my benchmade 940 with a black deep carry clip that I sanded down to silver so just the butterfly is black, I love the videos always entertaining and love seeing your guys commentary on knifes!

My EDC (it really is what I carry at work and everywhere else) is the "Forged by War," CRKT Arcane, Valdez Design. The new building appears to be a great work space, congrats Blade HQ and keep up the good work.

That customized Spyderco Chaparral looks so awesome! Love how the blade/hardware looks bronzed and the color of the scales. Very cool Chaparral.

Just got a Spyderco Native 5 Lightweight OIR edition this week and I am loving it so far

Homeboy with the Medford is the hero of the day.

Gian's the man! I too am an IT guy with 2 knives and a Leatherman on me at all times. Spyderco Tenacious in the left pocket, Kershaw Scallion in the right and a Skeletool on the belt.

Benchmade Mini-Greptillian, My wing-man.

Awesome! Just bought another Spyderco today - Blade HQ has SUPER fast shipping and just great people. Thanks!

NEXT KNIFE BANTER!!! Balling on a budget knives like the CRKT IKOMA FOSSIL TI WITH VEFF SERRATIONS low cost high style knifes DO IT and God Bless

Paramilitary 2 s35vn in my pocket today. Great video guys, keep up the great work!

Awesome video guys, I know it’s an older vid but some great knives! I’ve been carrying the HK Nitrous Blitz. Love it

I'm carrying my Spyderco UK Penknife in S110v today. Love it! Made in USA, deep-carry clip, and super legal. Helps when I go to places like NYC or anywhere that doesn't like assisted-opening or locking knives. Awesome video, first one I've seen on BladeHQ but it will not be my last!

Would love to see how you guys sharpen your knives!!! Great video as always!

I’ve been carrying my Benchmade Mini Grip everyday since I got it from Blade HQ for Christmas.

My first ever EDC knife was a Kershaw Shallot (Ken Onion design) that I got maybe about 10 years ago. I still haven’t found a knife that I think is better looking... I absolutely love everything about it!

0:32 I like how Melinda is carrying a Spyderco while wearing a Benchmade shirt (Today carrying Protech TR-5 winter camo variant)

Stoked!!! Good Stuff!!!

I like my Ontario Model Rat 1 AUS8 Steel, with Green G10 handle!😊 ------------ And now today I carry spyderco para 3 in black G-10!!!😄

I like the quick “commercial break”. Great idea!

Great video guys. Gave me some great ideas for my next orders from you. I carried a Spyderco Endura 4 SS for a couple years then a Kershaw Turbulence for a while. I LOVE the Kershaw Turbulence and just went to your website last week and saw was out of stock. But if ever back in I will be getting another. Latest EDC is my Kershaw Blur Blue handle w black grip inlay purchased off your website couple months ago. Really like the action, the blade, and it's just really nice looking in that blue color!! Damn, BladeHQ seems like a really cool work environment!! You guys are lucky-- I'd spend half my paycheck on knives, literally.

I'm a knife guy and I don't own a PM2/3. Been carrying an Endura 4 Wave and the exclusive OD/Bronze Kalashnikov. At work I usually just carry my Rat 1 however I plan on getting a Rat 2 as a little smaller, less threatening option, as I do work in retail...

First of all sry for my bad English, but I'm from Austria and English is not my native language. I use several knives for edc and my favourites are the Kershaw cqc-6k, the zt 0301, the Pohl Force Mike 3, and the Spyderco Endura4 I love all of this blades. Cheers!

Great vid guys!! In my pockets rigth now: Sog Flash 1, Leatherman Wave, Led Lenser P2 and a Leatherman Squirt P4.

BM 51 Morpho for the passed three years EDC, I work in a kitchen so being able to whip out a knife to open a box in the cooler or break something down quick with a little flick of the wrist and a balisong is amazing

Just picked up a Injection and what a great low budget knife! This store is great!

Congrats on the move. Glad to see more business in Utah.

Bladetech Riptide Karambit with AUS8 steel. Also glad to see you guys back. That moving looked like a massive undertaking

I personally fell in love with the paragon warlock. It's a beast of a knife and fun

I carry an Ontario rat 1 in D2 steel with black scales and it is the first and only knife I ever bought from blade HQ and it’s my favorite

Today was a Spyderco delica 4, and a Buck cadet in as a backup in the back pocket ( gift from the inlaws)

Great vid guys, im edcing my kershaw link 1776 lovely little knife for all occasions

Carrying Spyderco Manix 2 XL. I know this is an old video, but wth. I didn't realize you guys were in good old PG Utah. I used to live in Orem years ago. Love watching you guys!

Love the channel

If it was more acceptable where I live I'd carry my home forged kukri I'm still very happy with how it turned out. But I carry a 6 inch fixed blade 1095 steel knife that I also made

I’m carrying the 940-2 today, super cool and great knife. It has not let me down yet

Benchmade bugout cf elite that i just bought off you guys last week! I also have the orange mini bugout! Love both knives and will probley never carry another knife besides a bugout!!! Great video and thanks for the knife!!!

Hi Sorry for only saying a month later what I'm carrying, only got my knife a few weeks ago, it's an Opinel Nº08. Nothing like your knives but I love this one. has a good stainless blade and is really sharp for a knife under $20

Just bought a crkt m16-01ks lmao. Love it sm

These types of videos are great. I like your bigger productions as well.

My EDCs are Benchmade mini grip and a benchmade grip with tanto blade. Mini grip is the most used for me and I love it.

spyderco from the early 90's still going strong.

Dude I be rocking a CRKT Homefront love that knife

Nice variety there!My carry today is the Buck 110, a limited edition with copper bolsters, carbon fiber scales and drop point blade in a custom leather belt sheath with rattlesnake skin inlay

You guys have too much fun. Wish I could work there. Dream job!

Oh, man, I'd like to be at the opening too. I hope you make enough videos about it!

UTX-85 in M390 for the last few weeks for me.

I just found your Channel today... this is about the third video I watched and have enjoyed it... I didn't realize you guys sold knives as well.

MONSTER Comeback, guys! Great episode to come back with after the "Wasted Guest 'Expert' Fiasco" episode. Bless you all. Knife in my pocket today is the Benchmade Bugout I got from you, but I put on titanium scales from Rockscale.

Zach looks so much more trustworthy without the beard and beanie. That look was super shifty.

Lmao when the saw started running in the background I thought it was a metal outro about to begin

I've been carrying a Paramilitary 2 CPM S30V Satin G10 Camo for almost 5 years now . Luv it ! In fact luv it so much I just bought the same knife but with the Black Blade . When I find something I like I stick too it .

I've been carrying my Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto with AUS-8 steel for about 5 years. I've taken it to the Arctic circle of Alaska, Death valley, Olympic forest, and of course my EDC during my desk job. And I have zero regrets and I'm thinking of getting the new one with S35 steel in case my current one ever kicks the bucket.

0:29 benchmade shirt Carries spyderco. Traitor!

Today I carried the Buck Marksman. I love it.

Chaparral is in my pocket today. Small and discreet enough to take to church. And I've really been liking the CTS-XHP steel. No sweet customization on mine though...

I carry a few knives at work everyday (LE), Microtech OTF, Leatherman Charge and a TDI Hinderer on my belt. I also just ordered the Benchmade SOCP to add to my SWAT vest.

Spyderco Delica 4 on the pocket and an Esee Izula 2 on the belt

Spyderco resilience in my pocket 👍🏻✌🏻☝️😀

Today I'm carrying the Steel Will Cutjack, the Italian version with blue scales, 3 inch M390 steel. The blade rides on bearings and the steel is incredible.

I've almost exclusively carried a Chaparral for the last couple years.. the carbon fiber one. It's such a great knife. I love how deep it sits in my pocket. Only thing missing for me is the fun of a liner/axis lock where the blade flies open easily. Edit: Also big ups to D-Rocket designs!!! Darriel's amazing work is really getting around! I wish I could afford his stuff.

I DO like melinda's knife.

somebody mention this in a previous video but there should be a video or whoever edits the video should sit down at the table and Zac and ben should edit the video

I carry either a crkt ripsnort or a Kershaw cryo, but always combined with a crkt keramin

I carry the skeletool cx by leatherman. Light, easy to use, and has everything I need on a day to day basis. Been carrying it every day for about four years, and barely shows any wear.

I carry a Cold Steel SR-1 in one pocket, in another pocket I have a Ontario Rat One!

Im a knife guy and I dont have any spyderco knives...

Been daily carrying a Microtech JM UTX-85 for a month or so now. Love the thing so much I got a custom lanyard made for it.

My Edc is a Coldsteel Mini Lawman!!! But I just ordered from you guys a Kershaw Skyline XL in stonewash/black!!! Love me a good flipper!

Benchmade Osborne 940-2 all day, every day

Been carrying a benchmade 4300 CLA for about the last 6 months, absolutely my favorite EDC

I’ve carried a benchmade mini barrage every day for like the last 2 1/2 years. Absolutely love that thing.

Spyderco salt 1 best knife for a guy who's around water every day

I carry a benchmade 940 most days

One of my favorite knives i have ever bought was the CRKT shenanigan z, paid $25, its a ken onion, lightweight, smooth action no spring assist needed.

Vid was awhile ago but still gotta answer! A s110v lightweight manix has been my not at work carry for the last like month lol mainly because of my loose fitting shorts... well that and I f*ckin LOVE this thing! Benchmade 275 has been my other main edc when in proper attire

Please do a video with cheapest knifes on blade hq

I agree with Graham

I carry a black Gerber Propel Auto. Been using it daily for going on 2 years now but that custom Spyderco is amazing.

Carrying the CRKT Pilar III today. One of my favorite budget EDCs.

"cant be a knife guy and not own a para 2" lol im a broke student ahahahahha

I carry my Rat 1 and Tenacious

Great video guys. As far as what I carry. Normally I carry a CRKT Squid. I have a few other CRKT knives as well. Like the Snap Lock, Dactyl and Fossil

Gareth Bull old school Shamwari in Damasteel and Spyderco UKPK in the newly upgraded bd1n steel(been a constant carry since I got it). Both take very keen edges(bd1n especially) and ground thin(Shamwari is 5-8 thou thick and its a deep hollow grind) so they cut great. And both weigh under 5oz combined.

Zac.......your beard........weredigo

Hey guys love your vids, all the way from In Australia, sucks that availability of shipping knifes is a little iffy over here, law is law though but anyway you guys should do a vid on super Low budget knifes! Ben would I’m sure like this because we all know he is a cheap sucker! 😂👍❤️

Great video guys! I am carrying a bone and g10 handled CRKT M4-02

My EDC for over 10 years now is a Kershaw Leek. A Benchmade 330 hides in my pocket whenever showing a pocket clip may be unwise. Maybe an upgrade is in store sometime soon.
