We'll start off with a fun T38 Talon Air Force story here! One that involves a lot of afterburner when I was in the ACE program, Minot AFB, ND.  My buddy and I used to piss of the training wienies at Randolph AFB with our aggressive but expert flying in our matte grey T38! Interestingly that name is shared with this near perfect EDC blade from Italian "Giantmouse." A Vox design, the Ace Iona has great colors, M390 steel, spring steel clip, perfect blade execution, and a light weight. It comes to TNP Knife Nation highly recommended.

Great video, Nutn. I love the mini Air Force Story at the beginning. Have you ever considered bringing back the AFS video series? I really like them.

Cali Carrier

Heck yea! Looked like tail 3217 worked that jet at Beale. I primarily worked A model NG ejection seats. But got to check out the new MB seats at Laughlin for a short stint.

Todd Strelka

Thanks for the Air Force stories. Reminds me of my childhood living near Loring AFB, also a SAC base.

The Nutnfancy Project

I need to re watch the stories I've told and make sure I tell new ones! Also in later years I'll have some more stories to share too.

Matthew Sinn

Cool to see the Hype show up. I still have mine in my EDC rotation as a workhorse. It's really a shame it didn't last very long in production; just such a solid design all around. Different subject - I took my KT RDB-S and P17 out to Tennessee Silencer for some suppressed shooting and suppressor research. So much fun. Would love to see a P17 review and an RDB-S post-release follow-up.

Matthew Sinn

Full disclosure... While the P17 has been flawless out of the box, I did have to send the RDB-S back to KT for issues with both light primer strikes and locking open with rounds in the mag. They replaced a bunch of components and got it back to me in 8 days, and it runs like a dream now.

Very slick blade, love it. Sucked me right in with "Tales of the T-38". Keep it up, much appreciated Nutn.

Mark Horan

Just like Matthew mentioned, the Kershaw Hype is an awesome knife. It is one of my favorite knifes. Mine is completely scratched up and half of the padding has fallen off. The TNP Lionsteel replaced it as my EDC knife. The TNP Honey Badger reminds me of the Hype - similar size and fast deployment. I enjoy the air-force stories.

High value on that knife... a TNP version would be great. Orange G10, blacked out blade and wire clip, add some jimping and sell it. TNP blue would be cool too. I just have a lack of orange/black blades in my life. Blade HQ promises to release the Para 3 orange/black, but I've been waiting forever.

I'm originally from the countryside around the Minot area. You were at Minot AFB when I was in high school. I can see why it wouldn't have been your favorite duty station, but I love hearing your Minot stories!

Racing Psychosis

Love those Natrix blades, have a few of them, they are my usual EDC knives. But Carrying the Civi Baklash today, really like it.

Zack Harris

Very nice post, will have to visit if ever in the area.

Andrettski

Love the AF stories. Yes on a TNP Ace Iona if you can do a budget one around a hundy. I'd vote for red cause I only have 1 red in my collection. Or a "bright shiny" green. Hey Nutn, I still need to know how to ship my Tuxedo Badgers to you.

Glenn Rawson

Hey Nutn! Could you check out the GiantMouse Ace Biblio? Been looking at one for a while...

wil perez

Awesome story time with uncle nutnfancy

Silas Porter

Even if it isn't Nutn's dad, it was a really good read.

Arthur Krieger

My kind of knife... Italian, M390, beautiful coloration, standoff design... On my list. Damn you Nutn

Gilberto Esquivel

Always love your 'Chair Force Stories' Colonel, If the Marine Corps hadn't existed I might have joined America's Talon of Freedom....Cool Knife too...Semper Fi.

Adam Boyd

Awesome KRV! Very nice knife! I'm holding out for a tactical TNP blade though. Enjoyed the AF stories too 👍

Beck

I wouldn't mind a TNP ACE, I like the price on it. Maybe you can let us vote on the next TNP knife or something? Loved the AF story btw.

the guy you know

Yesss more stories sick knife longer videos please this video flyed by

Aaron

You had me at downwind!

DuginIN

Would rather have a flipper or Spyderco hole as opposed to thumb studs. Finally received the TNP Honey Badgers. Impressive, unique and very sharp. Thanks. Looking forward to your next TNP Special Edition.

Sheepdog

"Hey dude.... What's this patch say?" LOVE IT! Great story!! It looks like I'm going to have to slide another BHQ package delivery by my wife.... totally worth it though :-)

Mark Hodges

Came for the talon and inverted turn to base; punched out when you bust out yet another blade. See you on the next video.

Derek W Tiller

you DO need to do more airforce stories.

Joshua Dippel

I work at a general aviation FBO in Florida and occasionally hook up the air start to T38s. Awesome little jets!

Schmuckatelli

(*Yelling through a megaphone*) "Uncle Nutn! Tell us the story about that time you were in the Air Force and you flew a fighter jet! Thanks Uncle Nutn!" I wish I was half as good at telling my Marine Corps stories as you are at telling your Air Force ones. I didn't end up getting a Giantmouse knife after watching this video...but I did order one of the competitive options you showed us. I ordered a Civivi Elementum with the wood handle and black finished D2 blade. DUDE!!! That thing is SICK!!! Thanks for the review. My credit card company loves you. They send me letters telling me to never stop watching TNP.

Bluegill097

Got sucked into a KRV by the promise of an Air Force story! Cool vid but I still haven’t caught the knife bug yet... thankfully lol

DACampbell

I would say no to the TNP version of the blade. The next TNP blade needs to be a bit larger presentation. The dragonfly and the honey badger were smaller. Time to boost it a bit!!

whiskey papa

Be very careful, because once you're bitten, it's tough to quit.

Greg Malcom

I love KRVs!! Thanks Nutn!!

Matthew Hargis

I love the jargon. Thanks for your service from one Lt Col to another and one previous Minotian to another, albeit a different generation. I’m an Owl who has watched since ‘11. When I was out in the Pacific a couple years ago I ran into a 151st O-6 who knew you and I believe previously flew with you...Brandon T. It was great to meet someone who knew you personally. One day maybe we will run into one another and we can gear check one other. Thanks for all the hard work and wisdom passed. God Bless -Sharkey

Jared Shaughnessy

I’d buy one! I love hearing service stories. It’s so funny to hear the experiences of others especially from other branches than the army. I have a very similar experience where regular army POGS Started harassing me for something stupid. All I did was point that my flaming sis pot patch and kept walking.

James Lawson

Love the Air Force stories!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Daniel Herb

Always glad to see some cool planes make it in the videos Nutn!

Greg Malcom

YES to a Special Edition!!!
