Modified Urban video review

#1

Post by Mr Blonde »

Here's my first video review. It took some tinkering before I got it to the point where I consider it 'good enough'. I already got some new ideas on how to make better video reviews, one is to actually get a digital video camera instead of the video option on my photo camera, so please stay tuned for future reviews.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WiF8lHxGlo4&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WiF8lHxGlo4&hl=nl&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Naturally, I had to take some pictures to offer a better view of the knife.

Hi Wouter.

Nice review.
Like how you showed a few daily tasks.

Great Review! I am new to this knife collecting thing but that was a very informative review! I too enjoyed you showing the daly tasks and showing it action. Almost makes me want to add it to my want list. Can't wait to see your other reviews!

Awesome vid Mr. Blonde! Cool audio overdubs. Though, I couldn't help but be reminded of old school documentaries I used to see in high school but without the cheesy 70's music (i.e. a la Life Aquatic). :D

Can't wait to see more!!!

Mr. Blonde,

I asked this blade swap question a while back. Was it difficult to do this swap? This is exactly what I want to do. I was just going to buy the orange wharnie, but if I can blade swap with no issue, I might just get both! Can you provide any tips or warnings? Thanks for the great video and inspiration.

Great review. Very informative. I liked all the grip views. The speech seemed a little bit quick to me. Can't wait to see more.

Excellent job on that, Wouter! It's almost hard to believe that English isn't your first language. I suppose the speech was just a smidgen quick (as TDK mentioned), but I'm thinking that Dutch is one of the more quickly-spoken languages. Am I right?

Very nice review Wouter. It's nice to "hear" your voice. It's just funny because I've seen "Mr. Blonde" for so long in your avatar that I expected, for a second, to hear him instead.

I do like the blade swap. Very nice! :)

Stealer's Wheel always pops into my head whenever I see Wouter on the forum. Not to mention Michael Madsen is one of my favorite actors. Also, thanks for the vid-review and sharp pics as usual Wouter. Can I ask, are you using an everyday point-and-shoot camera to take these pics or does one have to have thousands of dollars invested in photo equipment to take pics like yours?

So few reviews of the urban on you tube. I'm glad you did this one.

I just got a warncliff urban and quite like it. It has a nice quality feel to it.

Excellent mod to yours.

Great video,
