A less annoying voiceWhat more could you ask for?
He demonstrated an ability for imitating accents in his old Medford praetorian disassembly, so he can do it!

Not only that, but the "Nick Shabazz" voice itself is something of a put-on! Listen to his first couple of videos if you're curious. What a gem.He demonstrated an ability for imitating accents in his old Medford praetorian disassembly, so he can do it!
yep now and then I'll click one of his vids and hear the accent waning in some and stronger in others. Until something gives I guess I'll have to settle for his well-put comments.Not only that, but the "Nick Shabazz" voice itself is something of a put-on!

Nick is one of my go to reviewers when considering a knife purchase. He definiltey is not the be all end all of anything and doesn’t try to be. His attention to detail is great and the way he breaks down his rating categories is easy to understand. I also, like others, have to mention how much frustration his disassembly videos have saved me. In the end he’s one person with an opinon and voicing it, and what a voice it is. To top it all off I’ve had a few interactions with him on Instagram. He is always helpful courteous and comes across as a real down to earth person. What more could you ask for?
Nick is more of an EDC reviewer, light duty type stuff. Or so I recall him saying.What more could one ask for from a "go to reviewer"? Carry the knife for a week or two and actually use it to cut a bunch of stuff.
Agree. Another point in his favour is that he responds to criticism here, not all of it reasonable and some of it personal, with good humour and good grace. He is a class act, in my view. How many YouTubers have flounced off forums, their petticoats all awhirl, because the narcissistic little darlings couldn’t take the lumps? I have lost count.Seriously, how can you get angry at a reviewer who refers to himself as “a random jackass with an opinion” and “not a brilliant man”. If you don’t like his opinions, watch a different channel.
He has said many times that he is an acoustic engineer, and as part of his daily tasks, he has to use his knives to slice foam. If you have ever tried to slice foam, it is probably one of the most difficult substances to slice cleanly and requires a very thin slicey blade. So I understand why Nick tends to have a bias against thick pry-bar type knives.
That said, if the tasks you use your knives for are less slicey and more hard use, then you would probably have different opinions. But there is no need to criticize Nick.

You seem salty.Well he calls himself a jackass and "not a brilliant man" but his demeanor belies it. Per no need to cricize Shabazz, Nick criticizes a lot of things, made a mini career of it, so as they say "turnabout is fair play." I stumbled across his EDC missive, his selection of personal "keeper knives" says more about him than any comments in this thread.

Whats wrong with the knives he chooses to keep?
