Knafs@Nite - October 11,2024 (Big Idea Design Edition!!)

Ben with Chadwick

Hello Everyone and welcome to the latest episode of Knafs@Nite - our weekly video round-up where we share with you all the exciting things about Knafs and the world around us.

This week we have our buddy Chadwick from Big Idea Design filling in for Austin. So everything looks different, tastes different, but feels just as good as every other episode.

Note: This is almost 42 minutes of two dudes talking shop - which, if you're an EDC nerd - YOU. WILL. LOVE!
Grab yourselves a Mexican lollipop and let's dive in.

Why Knives

Ben wants to know why Big Idea Design, known for pocket tools and pens, is jumping into the knife game.

(Psst - check out the Kickstarter for their Ti Pocket Knife II here.)

Athena's Funeral Potatoes

Chadwick tries out this local Utah delicacy. The name is macabre, but the taste is fantastic. Available only at the next funeral in Utah that you attend. 

Premium Pricing

Chadwick dives into the pricing of their products. Bottomline: they're not cheap, so they're not cheap.

The Big Idea Design Logo

Did you know you can trademark an element on The Periodic Table? Kinda...

Frog Eye Salad 

Ben's mom is bit of a mad scientist in the kitchen. If you like tapioca - you'll love this. But there's no tapioca in it.

Also, it could be "Frog Egg Salad"...

The Sancho Pen

Ben and Chadwick go over the genesis of the next best EDC pen to grace our big blue planet. If you want one - you can still get one here through Kickstarter.

The History of Chadwick

This guy is well-rounded. Did you know he designed classrooms in China? How do you go from that to pocket tools? That's not the only cool thing he's brought to share with us.

What's in a Name?

Ben and Chadwick are two very different people. The way they name products is a shining example of that.

Big Idea Design is an EDC Company

That is addicted to pens...

Green Jello

Ben thinks that Utah is known for green Jello. This one has carrots... Maybe that's the Utah part of it, cuz we all eat green Jello!

Beyond the Big Idea

Chadwick is no one trick pony. He's got a couple of other brands up his sleeve. You can check them out here and here.

THE RETURN OF THE CHINESE SNACKING PLUMS!!!!

We love Ben. Ben is a big bright star in our sky. But whatever the reason behind his need to tease us with these tasty treats and not tell us where to get them is reallllllly wearing thin on all of us (now you know why Austin isn't here).

If you want Ben to spill the beans and give us a link to these plums, which he seemingly has a massive stockpile of, say so in the comments!

Boom. Done! 

And that is that, folks! Major thanks for Chadwick for spending his time with Ben on this one. There's nothing better than getting two guys like these guys together to just shoot the breeze on EDC.

Except maybe knowing where to buying Chinese Snacking Plums!!!!

Make sure to subscribe to our channel on YouTube so you don't miss anything come out of the world of Knafs!

See you next time!

Wait!!!!!

Okay, so - through a little detective work which required freezing the video at just the right moment and using Google Lens, we have found the "Salty and Sweet Dried Plums" - formerly known as the "Chinese Snacking Plums".

You can get them on Amazon right here!
