Your current favourite online Enabler? & where to next?

Gerhard Gerber · **on:** April 17, 2018, 04:01:56 PM

......apart from MTO

I've found that my knife-related youtube viewing has shifted dramatically, these days I most enjoy the following:
Cedric & Ada's steel tests (and reviews)
Nick Shabazz's reviews & disassemblies
TheApostleP's knife sales

and reviews.

Old favourites like CuttleryLover, Nutnfancy and WeAllJuggleKnives scaled back on the knives, Nutnfancy blames the lack of views.....

All these as well as forging, blacksmithing and related videos make up about 70-80% of my home entertainment, and it seems youtube won't be a friendly home to these channels for very much longer.

There are gun-related channels that I think are too big a resource to loose.......C&Rsenal, Forgotten Weapons (InRangeTV).......seem to be in real danger.......pathetic state of affairs I think.....

I have two faves at the moment.

First is Swiss Army Dan - excellent reviews/info on all things SAK related.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgL6YsuG40LKztZGqHgymZQ

Second is Ductapetech - Hilarious

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChpD6_0qaWCCJPQRIZePfQw .

Thirdly is Maximus Ironthumper, a local bod who lives off grid and works metal etc. Very engaging and interesting.

i don´t do much YouTube anymore because of WiFi problems freezing my laptop. But when I did it was

- The ApostleP https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ0s1s1iTs730oVLPHD8muA, and
- Stefan Schmalhaus https://www.youtube.com/user/stschmalhaus

Both have interesting stories on the knives they present.

I follow (and have many laughs with) Nick Shabbazz and Birdshot IV (very closely related),

for half a decade now I followed WeAllJuggleKnives and Gideonstactical for blades and EDC gear (mostly lights)

, on occasion I go see BushCampingTools for field and true outdoors use of knives

and for historical and classical stuff I have been following Skallagrim and Scholagladiatoria for 4 years or so now

I suffer from Foot-in-Mouth sickness, so.............

Birdshot IV irritates the living smurf out of me......their "banter"

.....well, just glad that's not my wife

I WANT to watch their videos, but I just can't

Also a long time subscriber of GideonsTactical, just not as interested in the non-knife stuff he reviews.

Kevin Cleary is also a very good knife reviewer.
He however prefers larger knives, so however interesting he generally doesn't review knives I would buy.

Kevin cleary is reviewing more and more high end knives, which aren't for me.

Stefan went quiet a long while back didn't he? I used to really enjoy his videos.

Oh I forgot about Cutlerylover because he does all kinds of stuff,

and I watched him before I was really into knives so he's never been a "Knife reviewer" to me, in comparison to others

and I've seen XIUXIU1313 on occasion because he's passionate about Cold Steel

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2018, 11:22:29 AM

Since we obviously have several youtube watchers here........I have a question that really bothers me

Show content

If you have a tinfoil hat, put it on know

There is this one channel, I am a subscriber and irregular viewer. Based on my experience I don't often thumbs-up the videos.......

And yet, it feel like no matter what video I'm watching the next suggested video to auto play will be......

WRANGLESTAR

Is he Illuminati, Google shareholder, or what?

Not really an enabler, but Grimsmo knives have a fascinating channel full of CNC manufacturing goodness: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8SC-01ZKmzTIa2Usn6fexQ

Sparky415 · **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2018, 09:05:25 AM

Seved, a member here that only has a few videos,
spends too much time in his workshop to do much filming, I think he needs more followers

Gideons tactical and we all Juggle knives always good, Mr Baz has good flashlight stuff. Also can't stand the birdshot banter and not a fan of nutn, he's kind of full of himself. Shabazz is sometimes good but kind of a steel snob, and the swedish chick in the bikini, cant remember her name but also does some good stuff.

Blackbeard · **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2018, 06:27:20 AM

it was survival lilly, she's Austrian

advanced knife bro is pretty good as well

The brothers are on my list, also watch The Lazy Machinist every once in a while

indeed........somehow got YT to stop suggesting his videos.

Two that I'm glad nobody mentioned..........Wavester-something-or-other and LuvThemKnives.

If you can't say good things then shut up........I'm trying to be Canadian today

Okay......back to my old self

I would like to single out BirdshotIV again, and add KiethkevinKen or whatever for some scorn...........people with access to that many Spydercos (and other nice knives) should make proper videos we can watch
