Magnesium Knife Handles Won’t Kill You—Probably

Episode 1

Friday, May 9, 2025 • Duration 17:00

In this first episode of Deep Cuts, I’m breaking down the internet’s freak-out over magnesium knife handles—specifically, Work Sharp’s bold choice on the RMX—and whether any of the panic is actually justified.

You’ll also get:
– A standout community carry from @6x6matt
– The first round of Keep, Trade, Toss
– The winner of the Benchmade Mini Bedlam giveaway
– And a quick look at what to expect from Deep Cuts moving forward

Hot takes. Good gear. No filler.

Everyday Carry Is A Lie…

Episode 4

Saturday, May 31, 2025 • Duration 21:57

Apparently, the only way to qualify for “everyday carry” is if you never change your gear—ever. At least, according to one spicy community comment. In this episode of Deep Cuts, I break down why that take isn’t totally wrong… but also why it completely misses the point. I walk through what EDC really means (or used to mean), share what’s in my pockets right now, and dive into the gear I keep coming back to. Plus: this week’s Community Carry, a PowerPint defense, a slingshot showdown, and a sneak peek at next week’s collab reveal.

Why I Still Talk About Expensive Knives

Episode 3

Friday, May 23, 2025 • Duration 19:07

This week, someone said “everyday people don’t carry the knives I feature.” So we’re talking about pricing, accessibility, and why we cover gear across the whole spectrum—from budget to boutique. Also, KnifeCenter got hacked (and recovered), the Redhawk finally dropped, and we run through some recent highlights in EDC and knife world news.

Plus: a killer community carry, a new segment of Taylor vs Rikki, and giveaways galore.

The BEST Blade Shape for Everyday Carry

Episode 2

Friday, May 16, 2025 • Duration 23:56

This week on Deep Cuts, Taylor explores how our gear preferences evolve—and why the blade shape you love today might not be the one you stick with tomorrow. He answers a thoughtful viewer question about shifting tastes, breaks down what matters more than specs, and makes a case for the most versatile blade shape in everyday carry.

You’ll also get a 60-second pocket dump, a standout community carry, the latest gear drops worth watching, and a round of EDC Would You Rather?

Why You’re Carrying Too Much Knife

Episode 5

Saturday, June 7, 2025 • Duration 20:48

Apparently, small knives aren’t “real” knives—at least according to some of the recent comments. In this episode of Deep Cuts, I explain why you don’t need a big knife for most daily tasks, and why I’ve been leaning hard into smaller blades lately. I also break down the lawsuit Gavin Hawk just filed against Microtech (yeah, the timing’s wild), talk through this week’s Community Carry, and try to solve a puzzle box on camera. Plus: gear I’m digging right now, a few titanium lighter recs, and this week’s giveaway winner.

Best Gear from Blade Show 2025 (According to You)

Episode 6

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 32:21

Blade Show’s over. The dust has settled. The hype is dying down. But that’s when the real processing starts—when we sift through the chaos, the hype, and the flood of new gear to figure out what actually stood out.

In this week’s episode of Deep Cuts, I break down your favorite finds from Blade Show 2025, highlight some gear I missed (and some I didn’t), and share my top picks from the weekend. We’ve also got another killer Community Carry, a question about modular multi-tools, and a fresh giveaway winner. Plus: What’s in my pockets post-Blade, and a few brands I think are worth watching right now.

Plus: a new Community Carry from an agricultural scientist, what's in my pockets, and another round of Up The Ante.

Why the &%$! Is Leatherman Making Knives?

Episode 8

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 49:22

Over the last few weeks, rumors swirled about Leatherman's next big multitool—a new Wave, a Charge replacement, maybe even a Milwaukee Fastback killer. What we got instead? Knives. No pliers. No screwdrivers. Just blades.

The internet didn’t take it well.

In this episode, we break down the backlash, respond to the loudest opinions, and dig into whether Leatherman’s new knife line is worth a further look.

1:14 Knife Court: Leatherman vs The People
We put the internet’s loudest reactions on trial. From accusations of misplaced priorities to cries of overpricing, this segment takes real viewer comments and breaks them down, one overreaction at a time.

You asked. We answered. We tackle your most common questions about Leatherman’s new knife lineup, as well as give our unfettered opinion on each of the new knives in Leatherman's lineup.
