Turn over in host is killing BladeHQ. It just hurt numbers on views you need weekly and a couple of guy/gals who love knives that viewers can get behind. Dallas and Kurt both needed time. I don't think we will ever get back the WUG years of Ben and Zach because host keep changing too often.

Damn blade hq has a really bad turnover ratio....I think we are witnessing the death of Blade Hq! Rip BHQ!

[stemerickj]

Ben, Zac, Curt, Jamie…. I miss you so…. I am just going to go back and watch the old ones over again

[ryancolling]

Used to love blade hq videos. Now i just stop in once and a while to remind myself how much better knife center vids are

[andreslopez-dwgt]

Blade HQ was at its peak with the old crew. They were the ones that got me hooked on knives. It what brought me to the knife community. Now it’s all a big spec sheet preach. Thanks for the ride till then !

[Mntoyaz]

WTF??? BHQ can’t seem to keep staff! Not sure what the problem is?

Website changes and now knife banter changes…This reeks of corporate marketing.

Buck 112 is my work knife. Absolutely killer blade for the money. Im an industrial mechanic so i beat the crap out of it. Ive had it for 3 years. Plain and simple, it. Just. Works. Easy to keep sharp too. My other "cheap blade" was my spyderco native. Bout 100 bucks, think you guys have it for 120. used it daily for 8 years in the Marine Corps.

[adamgable]

Curt is sorely missed. How the mighty BHQ has fallen.

[bmurphy]

Yeahhhh I’m out. Ben, Zac, Jamie and Kurt will forever be my BHQ favorites. I have caught myself watching more of TC from SMKW and now that Kurt is possibly gone, I’m out. Pulling Kurt was the final straw for me. I think there is some sort of internal problems going on at BHQ since they have lost all of the greatest hosts. Guess I’m going to watch TC from now on

[stilwellstilwell]

I can't even make it through this whole show I'm going to miss it, I'm happy I still have knife center.

[marktekaut]

Watched the new Video from Zac and Ben and it's a lot of fun, epic Intro 😎👍🏼 and brings back memories... sorry guys this video was only a nice try but it can still be...

[Bawrabawla]

I can see the uneasiness coming from the new crew. I wish there was more of a handover time but I do hope this channel goes on to become what it used to be again.
This channel has been responsible for me getting into sharp tools and spending a decent chunk of cash on it over the past few years and I do hope the new crew grows into the shoes they need to fill. Cheers!
PS: I am not sure why this was posted after the 4th.

I'm glad Zac is getting his channel going. He already smoked HQ with views. Ay Kurt, Jamie, Ben, and Dallas. Go join Zacs channel. I hate to see BHQ go out like this man.

Edit: these guys are Kool. But the old crew is irreplaceable.

My personal favorite USA knife on a budget is the good ol Buck 110 Classic. An absolute workhorse that you can pass down to your kids and not very scary to the non-knife carrying public, as people have seen them everywhere. (Pro tip: you can get a Kwik Thumb Stud to attach to the blade for easy one-handed opening, if you're worried about that 👍)

[jacobbcox]

Knife Center is first due to DCA.

SMKW 2nd best and has TC. They need to pay him cause after losing Andy and Swaggs they were bad for a while.

BladeHQ was number 1 two years ago now its 3rd among store channels. The fall of the GOAT What is up guys.

I don't mean anything against these guys they need time possibly clique. So, give them time but if you keep changing it will not work. You may get lucky but waiting for luck is how failure happens.

[JoseGarcia-tyqv]

:/ I’ll keep purchasing my knives from blade HQ because of the fantastic service but I’m just not feeling these guys hosting knife banter. Really miss zac and ben and Jamie.

[danieltriplett]

How Timely, I am considering a Leatherman, as for American made Budget knives I carry the CRKT Fossil 5470, $75.00 and I love this knife. It's tough easy to sharpen. It will and Has taken a lot of abuse and she just keeps on going.
