That's what I'm talkin about that's what I talkin about we like his and we product we're long time customers

I got an error message of "This promotion has ended" when trying to check out. Guess the promo code was only good for the day/weekend?

@@chrisoneill325 Hello Chris! I've fixed this issue. It should not have expired, but I made a mistake when setting it up. Thanks for pointing that out!

yo @zacinthewild when you gonna do a knife giveaway? lol

@hueginvieny7959 Год назад

I appreciate the fact you do this type of content. I'm tired of the sitting at a table and unboxing a knife and showing it off just to get free knives from manufacturer. The fact your out telling the story behind the people who make them not just giving opinions on the products

@zacinthewild Год назад

So glad to hear! I love all my tabletop friends👊

@visavispacemnc9019 Год назад

Amen. That is one of the best comme ta I've ever seen.

@TravisClark1 Год назад

I think that's why I've started following. Nick Shabazz style videos are great, but I find myself drifting off to other videos quicker than I used to

@tj.schwarz Год назад

So awesome! I had a ton of fun with you guys in the shop. Thanks for making me look kinda smart 🤣

@zacinthewild Год назад

Way smarter then me😁

@gmorel1916 Год назад

Been shopping around for kind of a do-all around the farm fixed blade since basically inheriting my family’s small farm and I just found it thanks to this vid lol.

It will treat you right👊

"The process is the product." The right words at the right time. 🙏 I couldn't agree more.

@sbaunbooth1932 Год назад

Still my favorite thing to watch on Saturdays. Please keep talking with the maker's and designers

@zacinthewild Год назад

Means the world! More maker stuff coming for sure’

@ryanloesch8684 8 месяцев назад

TJ is one of the brightest minds in the knife industry. Love following his career.

@Justinator616 Год назад

The Overlander fixed blade is my favorite! Can’t wait to take it camping. Thanks Zac for sharing his process!

@jeffreydawson4520 Год назад

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. One of the biggest takeaways from this, for me, is to just get started and not wait until everything is perfect to begin, cause that’ll never happen. Really enjoying your videos brother Zac, keep ‘em coming!

@zacinthewild Год назад

TJ is a perfect example of that! Glad you’re digging them👊

@VisionWords Год назад

This is one of the best things you guys do: the stories behind knives and designers and the processes behind it all. Keep it up!

@natewilder1868 Год назад

Dude! Thanks for putting us in front of these artists/companies… love hearing the stories that I likely wouldn’t otherwise.

@2873lonewolf Год назад

What a great guy TJ is. I love seeing the "younger" designers/makers and hearing what they have to say. I never knew Bill Koenig and TJ knew each other so far back. Thanks Zac for bringing TJ to us and letting him explain some of his processes. Now i need to pick up a new knife from TJ, i have support the great makers.

@Sleepy_spartan717 Год назад

His overland fixed blade is on my short list. I’ve been wanting to buy a tactile pterodactyl raptor fixed blade and this overland looks so very similar at a very competitive price, using better steel and much easier to obtain. I also love how he gives you the ability to customize your own sheath with your order and replace the stock kydex sheath for only an additional $10. This is something more fixed blade makers need to do.

@eddielittleii8919 Год назад

I bought a fixed blade from T.J. in Magnacut and really wish that CRKT would step up and run the folder in Magnacut bare steel with black G10 (or micarta) so that his collector's could have a match set. Great video. Thanks.

@mattdagger1480 Год назад

I emailed him after seeing this knife. I absolutely love it however it’s a bit larger than I wanna daily carry. He informed me a mini overland is coming this summer!!! I can’t wait to order one!

@enriquescott2983 Год назад

Zach this young man is a next-generation of knife makers philosophy makes sense.3D printing first he likes to final The 3rd product created the next step is metal work hand work. When If Can suggest don't give us any exotic metals that will only increase the price. Remember your forefathers how they across over mountains with knives that more than likely a Smitty made him with any kind of iron or metal he found around.

So now I really want to know more about why you never really mentioned that TJ designed one of the most iconic knives today, what's the story with the Arius? Sure he makes several CRKT designs but to only briefly mention Koenig at the beginning?
