The genius, or decidedly "not stupid" (as his profile succintly states), behind Advanced Knife Bro is a man of few words, but dive beneath the surface, and you'll discover a razor-sharp wit. For the past quarter, his honest and distinctive expertise has been cutting through the noise on our site with a collection of perceptive knife evaluations and side-by-side analyses (accessible here). Now, we're flipping the script to get acquainted with the individual wielding both the blade and the lens.
In this exclusive trilogy, we'll carve into Advanced Knife Bro's realm, dissecting the knife industry, tracing his path to becoming a respected authority, and revealing the surprising insights gained from handling an arsenal of blades. Join us as we unsheathe the insider knowledge that only comes from spending years in the trenches of this cutting-edge field (had enough of the knife puns yet?).
Keep your eyes peeled for the second and third installments in the coming months, where we'll continue to hone your grasp of the EDC universe through Advanced Knife Bro's well seasoned perspective.

What item made you fall in love with the industry?
Probably my Leatherman PST that I bought for set construction in film school.
It's been with my about 25 years now.
What’s the most unusual source of inspiration you’ve ever used for your content?
It's not unusual, but I have a large collection of classic horror and cult films.
My style is influenced by my favorite films. I think the editing pace and story telling has a B movie vibe. It's not for everyone, but it connects with a certain type of weird audience.
How has YouTube/social media impacted your life/career?
It has never become a full time job, but it allows me to make videos on my own terms.
What's the funniest or most embarrassing moment you've experienced while filming one of your videos?
Maybe the Cold Steel Hand and a Half sword breaking on camera.
It was a perfect source of inspiration- and I couldn't have planned it better.
What is something you want our readers to know about you?
I'm just a dude.
What are your favorite brands right now?
I'll always love my Great Eastern Cutlery, my Hawk Knives Autos, my Kaliash Kukris, and the insanity of Cold Steel.
What Brands should our readers look out for?
- Winter Blade Co.

What are three of your favorite creators right now?
What first got you interested in your niche?
Camping.
What’s your go-to EDC?
The Stump Lifter, which is the channel knife collaboration between myself BladeHQ, and QSP Knives.
What’s your proudest moment since starting your creator journey?
Just being able to maintain an audience over the last 10 years, and seeing long term subscribers still posting under the videos. And being able to be myself, and having people really get me.
What is your favorite place your social media account has taken you?
The ability to make the style of videos I want.
