"i just like collecting them and it's my hobby" is literally all you had to say

[gretchcat]

Still didn’t say why the steel grade was on the 1k knife. “Damascus” is the way the steel was forged, not the quality.

Bro, this all seems like one giant cope post, and I cant look away.

As a knife collector of 25 years... I'm fully entitled to calling you an absolute fool for spending $1, 000 for a production knife. Even moreso for defending that purchase on the merit of the handiwork that went into it. For $1, 000 you can get a knife built from the ground up to your specifications from some of the best knife makers in the world.


Edit: geez YT is unreliable. This is the first notification I have received on this comment and I am currently at 2 months, 3.1k likes, and 59 comments later. 🤣 I have collected for 25 years, that's since I was a kid, I'm no bladesmith or old codger. I, too, like anyone who collects to collect and not to resell, have plenty of dumb knives tucked away in the collection... and plenty are damascus just because the first nice knife my dad bought me as a kid was damascus. That said, if you want a really nice knife that is stupid sharp, retains an edge, and is smooth as butter without a spring assist, check out Civivi and Kizer. You can find knives from both that meet high production quality standards at $60-$120 all day. Also, I was a bit of an ass here... and I wish I had been more sensitive. I don't know why this guy bought this knife... and it may have been his dream to have one from this line. Try to remember, at least for people carrying lower end knives, that everyone starts somewhere, everyone is inspired by different goals, and you never know what knife someone's granddad gave them as a kid. I'm definitely gonna make an effort to be less judgmental. Thanks again, folks. This is cool. :)

No one is saying that the $35 one is better than the $1000 one, just that it's not worth $1000

[barenjager]

"Damascus" doesn't magically make the steel harder or more durable, u need to know what the "Damascus" was made from because there's always the chance it was made out of the same pot steel and some other metal with like 0.05% more carbon in it to make it look different. Also this is patern welded not "Damascus". That name has been tarnished by marketing techniques.

A $35 knife can cut things.

While a 1k knife can cut Fancier

[pimplehair]

The fact that his channel is called “minimalist” is 2022’s biggest irony

[YungSteezyD]

Ive been using the same exact $30 swiss army knife for 5 years now, I've never sharpened it and I use it every single time I've gone hunting or camping and it still performs flawlessly

[auggie]

Bruh I love how everyone in the comments are Absolutely clowning this guy

[orangecounty]

I’ve had a $35 OTF for 10 years and it has worked the whole time

[biggmello]

It sounds like the trying the explain to his wife why he spent $1k on a knife

[cheesesauce]

This doesn't justify spending a grand though. There are a lot of quality blades at the 100 mark.

[naniluv_clips]

The $35 one will cut 20 boxes, but the $1, 000 one hasn’t left the display case 😂

[pastamasta]

"WELL HeRe'S yOuR aNsWeR MaN"

bro took it personally 💀

[tgudge]

"This has special layer Damascus steel" 🤓🤓🤓🤓

[oppickles]

This is just him trying to convince himself that he didn't waste his money

[DJGuppy]

"Damascus" means nothing as far as edge retention and sharpness is concerned.

[skeletron]

I've had that lightning otf for 8 years as my edc. Dropped it plenty of times and it still works amazing. Yes, you sharpen it more often whoopity

[zane_slade]

“Because I like collecting knives” All you had to say bud😭
