Advanced Knife Bro<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I review the best and worst everyday carry gear and satirize the people who buy it. I am a procrastinator’s procrastinator and lacker of skills. On my YouTube channel<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and in my articles, you’ll find information and videos about knives, lights, classic games, tech, the outdoors, and more.<\/p>\n

Wayne Walter From Wayne’s Sharp World<\/h4>\n

\"authorWayne is an avid knife enthusiast, knife reviewer and knife designer. Ever since he got a Victorinox Swiss Army knife in hand back in Boy Scouts, his love for all things sharp has only gotten greater over the years. He started Wayne\u2019s Sharp World on YouTube<\/a> in May of 2020 and since then, has handled thousands of knives and reviewed hundreds. In February of 2024, his very own knife design, the Thornton, launched with Vosteed. Wayne is a well-known figure in the knife community and loves helping others within the community by providing informative reviews that will help them in making their next knife purchase.<\/p>\n

James Mackintosh<\/h4>\n

\"\"James is a gadget guy and all-round EDC fanatic, particularly when it comes to knives. \u00a0He’s\u00a0extremely fluent in the crowded middle-market segment where companies like Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw and Buck slug it out every day in a bid to get their products into the hands of the everyday man who needs a good knife. \u00a0Through years of using and evaluating knives James knows exactly what to look for in determining whether a knife is worthy of recommendation or just ‘okay’.<\/p>\n

Mason Ball<\/h4>\n

\"\"Mason is a modern day family guy, who started life early on as a musician, and continues that passion. But, with the everyday life of locksmith work by trade, he\u2019s found knives as a hobby that has piqued his interest to a level of constantly looking for the next knife to critique. As a Spyderco fan first, and now barreling deeper in the knife world into all available brands, he\u2019s ready to take on the next knife with excitement, every time.<\/p>\n

Michael Vegvari<\/h4>\n

\"\"Michael’s passion is high end folding knives, pure and simple. \u00a0He is tremendously knowledgeable about the industry and its players competing at the upper end of the market. \u00a0His love for custom, mid-tech and premium production knives has made a sizable dent in his wallet over the years but continues to bring a smile to his face every time he gets his hands on something new and exciting.<\/p>\n

Tyler Solley<\/h4>\n

\"\"Tyler is no stranger to excitedly rambling about a myriad of luxury hobbies ranging from model-work in Warhammer 40,000, to exploring virtual worlds using cutting-edge computing, to photography and old cameras, and the list goes on. \u00a0At Knife Informer, we benefit from his interest in\u00a0high end pocket knives. With a keen eye for some of the flashier offerings of knife-dom, Tyler enjoys choices such as Olamic, WE Knife, Reate, Custom Knife Factory, and just about any folder that could be confused for a piece of candy.\u00a0 While writing was his first true love, Tyler can be found lending us his voice over on YouTube <\/a>and getting the most out of filters over on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim Ankerson<\/h4>\n

\"\"Jim is a lifelong knife enthusiast, designer, steel consultant and meticulous tester of fixed blade and folding knives. \u00a0 Jim’s edge retention testing methods are highly respected throughout the community as well as his thoughtful and informed commentary on several respected forums.<\/p>\n

Seth Gunn<\/h4>\n

\"\"Seth’s focus is the budget knife segment where he’s been a user and collector since his youth. \u00a0He’s meticulous and demanding in his evaluation of today’s lower priced knife offerings, where every dollar counts. \u00a0Bang for the buck is the name of the game.
