I don't know whether to love or "hate" this guy. I don't really approve of his love for spine whacking in his knife "reviews", but sometimes he seems to have some valid points. Anyone have any feelings about his "review" of the fluted Military?

I don't own, nor have I ever handled a Millie, so I can't comment on the tech or QC side of the review.
I can tell you that his note balloons (which are full of spelling errors) popping up while I'm trying to really focus on what he's doing with the knife, drives me insane.
I've watched a couple of his other reviews and I find the spine whacking to be completely misleading and uncalled for. I believe there have been a couple threads debating that very topic and his approach to knife reviews. You should take any review with a grain of salt because they're based on opinion more than anything.

He prides himself in taking knives apart and has admitted in the past to not being able to properly assemble the Ti-Military. Something bout the "gimmicky jeweler screws" if I recall.
Frankly and I say this with all the shinyness I can muster...there are certainly are more qualified reviewers on the internet. I don't believe Neptune really is a Spyderco dealer either.
Wow, that understatement even hurts when I type it.![]()

that guys drinks too much coffee...and isn't really factually accurate a lot of the time. I think that I would rather watch 5 nutnfancy reviews to another one of this guys.

I'm not a fan. That's as much as I will say.

Wow, I've never seen this guy before but between jerking the knives around an the torrent of word balloons I could only stand to watch the first minute.
And what a font of misinformation, higher end knives have fewer screws?
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

My Mom always told me if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Everyone is intitled to their own opinions. I would question anyones actual daily or recreational use of a knife based on the way they talk about it. I REALLY question anything Neptune does.
He is a good friend of mine. I don't always agree with him, but he is not afraid of speaking the truth and testing knives to their limits, which I like. He never said he was a Spyderco dealer.

Taz, I promised not to say anything if I can't say anything good.

Chuck, I think an exception can be made just this once right? Ha.
I respect the guy for putting out vids. Putting vids in the public eye comes with a ton of criticism, whether the vids are good or bad. But frankly, these are hard to watch. He is so far off base with so many things in so many vids.
I just think you have a responsibility to be on-point with your information if you speak with any authority. Even YouTube videos place a podium of influence in-front of the person.

Well maybe you are right, but I have never seen anybody testing knives like he did and he showed when they can fail and how. Having that all on video is showing facts and not opinion, which I like.
