I have the same one as Crystal and it’s great. 30 year old and I’ll probably never break it, it’s so tough.
I need to get the cute Gerber one though!

But can it core a apple?

Seriously, none of you twigged that this is complete and utter trollery?

almost made it halfway through before i had to bail. the overly affected twang combined with the 20-word vocabulary ended up being too much for me. i still think the first old-school one is perfectly fine, and he didn’t convince me otherwise.

Although I do not endorse his casual use of homosexual epithets, I own the small Gerber and agree it’s great for what it is. Not super ergonomic, but small, simple, nice-looking and lightweight.

More of a slightly-bulky folder that happens to use utility blades than a utility knife, really.

I, too, think modern utility knife design is overwrought to the point of idiocy. When the blade threatens to fall out during normal use, and you’re substituting lots of cheap, heavy metal for proper design, you’re cheating your customers. But then again, I can evaluate these things without homophobic and misogynistic epithets, because I am not a drunk backwoods prepper dipshit.

I knew this was going to be interesting when at 0:07 he conflates utility knifes with problems with society in general.

This was mesmerizing.

If he actually “did things,” he’d know the tiny one he’s fond of would fill up with lint and gunk. There’s a line somewhere between prejudice and slinging that many slurs.

Yeah but how about that sales pitch

I’ve got one of those. It’s what I use to make my faggy pudding for Christmas.

He’s not wrong about that thing being poorly-designed though.

I have the Gerber and for a second I was worried that it wasn’t going to meet with his approval. Whew!

I have a version of the Kobalt made by Husky. It’s very light. But it is unfortunate that it doesn’t have any spare blade storage.

I figured out that I really didn’t need a razor’s sharpness though. Turned out most of what I used my knife for wasn’t cutting stuff anyway. A lot of prying, digging, picking and scratching. Not so much cutting and slicing. And all those activities ruin a razor blade quick. I’m back to a regular single bladed folder with a 440A stainless blade. Stays reasonably sharp. Not too brittle. Good for all the stuff I use it for.

Teach me gratitude for prying, digging, picking and scratching sometime? Is it like reading Angie’s List?
Planning on just hitting the uninstall button and telling the Roomba it’s on Mars if I get a carpet for long enough.

(Had the knife pegged as a carpet knife rather than a box or utility (hold it like -so- for sewer work, and if you have to run gas access in the sewer, you use 2…) knife. Imagined a series of refused workers and their dealer.)
