As an alternative that is more generally available, I recommend the Rainier Knives Fastpak. It's a little bigger and does allow a full 4 finger grip, but it also very light and carry-able.
Thanks for the recommendation, havent heard of them. Price is very resonable and elmax is great.
The fastpak is an awesome knife... Imagine the knife in the video but in Elmax with a proper 4 finger grip and you have a fastpak. I've been EDCing one of 2-3 yrs and except for when I need to 'fancy up' it's totally kicked folders from my EDC.
@@whostolemyuserID did you find yours think behind the edge? I was disappointed it wasn't thinner. Not saying its horrible but I wanted something a little better at slicing.
Great suggestion, they look great.
@@BenoJ3000 interesting, nope I didn't have that problem with the fastpak, it was super sharp and slicey out of the box. Maybe we have slighlty different expectations but the whole blade is only .75" tall, so there has to be some meat there somewhere or it wouldn't be robust enough to be the light weight backpackers knife was designed to be.
I really like that 🙂 Personally I would make a small leather sheath with a slim Ulticlip for it. For EDC, if I want a small knife I want it to take as little space as possible. Sure Kydex or boltaron looks cool and all that, but I don't want a hard bulky sheath for a small knife. But that just personal preference. I would still buy the knife even if Kydex was the only option, and make or oder a aftermarket leather sheath. It's a cute little knife
Oak City Leather Supply makes a really nice leather sheath for The Chikadee
My favorite pocket carry fixed blade is the guardian 3. The leather sheath is perfect for pocket carry and the handle to blade ratio is perfect.
Got a custom Chikadee in AEB-L and a Magnacut one. Both are easy to carry and use. Highly recommended💯😎🤙🏼
I am a fixed blade EDC person. There are many small type of fixed blades that are comfy to carry. You just need the right pocket sheaf. My setup all you really see is a clip like a folder. But all and all nice little pocket knife. Cheers !
The only time I tolerate (or even like) a lanyard is on a smaller fixed blade. eg: The CRKT Folts Minimalist wharncliffe, which is probably my favorite EDC fixed blade.
Having that extra little rope-y thing at the end makes it fill the hand a little better. It also makes it easier to grab/unsheath.
That FM steel tho is…barely acceptable.
@@allemander True, it does have to be sharpened a lot. I wish CRKT would just re-release all of them with D2, 14c28n, or 154cm. If they went to s30v or better, they'd charge too much, IMO.
I happen to love fixed blades. I also happen to hate carrying them lol. I’m sure the fact that I have to open carry in my state reduces the convenience/enjoyment as does the absolute horror on people’s faces when I use it. Folders needn’t be open carried nor do they (usually) inspire fear in others. Either way, dig the review dude! I’d love to see a Half Face Blades review on your channel someday. In fact, I have a Crow, Jr. should you want me to send it your way.
Have you looked at Mummert Knives clips ? They work great for that
@@patina_turner6791 Thanks for the tip! Looking at them rn and they look rad.
I have a similar fixed blade and I carry it small of my back scout style edc and I forget it's back there till I need it thanks for sharing👍✌🗡
I have a little MKM Mikro I love that appears to be a similar size. I put a small little lanyard on mine to extend the grip slightly. I’m not usually a lanyard fan but it helps with the handle being so small. I know this doesn’t have a lanyard hole but still love the look of this little dude.
Small, and really cool. I would love to have one.
Even though you don’t like fixed blades, you still should review them for the people that do. Also keep up the good work, love your videos. 🙂
I kinda feel the same about toting a fixed blade daily but I do like that little jewel. Thanks for the review
I've been wanting to pick up a Chikadee for a while. I've tried on two drops, but haven't scored yet. I'll keep trying though. Seems like a great little EDC blade!
It also works great with a mummert clip for pocket carry essentially a pocket clip that attaches to the sheath via the rivet holes
I only used fixed blades for hunting. I don’t want the blood and tallow/fat in the workings of my folders. Great small game knife.
I like that as I enjoy fixed blades..wish he would do more of them
Crkt minimalist that I put in one of the foam magazine carriers with the pocket clip on them the metal clip and the kydex fit right in to the holster perfect you can get foam ones that have a metal clip and come in a 10 pack for 20 or 30 bucks THANKS MC
As the norm GOOD VIDEO!!! SEE YEAH
I like that a lot. I use my folders like you do, lightly. When I am doing heavy stuff, usually in my woods on weekends for yard work, I have a fixed esee or something I can beat to death and not mind. This looks sweet.
Same here. I normally carry a Spyderco Para3 or Demko 20.5, but if I have to do real work I always go with my Esee.
@@williamjackson3582 and if I'm SUPER confident I'm going to mess a knife up, mora all the way haha.
Mc just your monthly reminder to try out a BRS balisong and see the light. for you i’d recommend a channel alphabeast for best sounds and feel
same, never been a fixed blade fan
but the look of recent cerberus fixed with nano dlc ... man that's sweet, you should try that
I carry a purple essee izula everyday on the jobsite and with it scout carry over my belt buckle it is comfortable and convenient.
It’s called a “thumb ramp” where you press with your thumb.
I don't really like carrying big fixed blades but I carry my tops 3 pointer absolutely everyday and couldn't imagine not carrying it
Your vocabulary continues to impress me. I would definitely say "processing material" when talking to someone about knives haha. Especially my dad. My daughter says she needs a dictionary sometimes when she listens to us talk. 🤣
I've been wanting one of his chikadees so bad! Just waiting for the right one!
Aw man, you really bummed me up.
Kidding, I don't carry fixed blades either, but have looked at this one in consideration, which is why I already had his site bookmarked when I went to it today.
There's so many makes and sizes out there, I'd stay in the niche with this one the way it is, he can always just make another model with another name.
Maybe some day, I know there's a ton of us in the want for this baby.
Side note, I haven't seen one in this circle of tuberz, but think it would be a very interesting video showing people how to carry something like this or larger.
Like everything in this genre, whether I already know it or not, do Love to watch how-to's to see how others do it.
Just an idea if you're looking for any.
Thanks for showcasing this.
Be safe.
You should get an ulti clip for your pocket if you don't like it on your belt
It’s like an EDC paring knife. Pretty damn cool!
Throw a Ulticlip on that sheath for pocket carry and its golden!!
if you want to get closer to folder carry experience while having a fixed blade, look at discreet carry concepts clips. blade rigs has once done a knife named the 'guppy' that has a 3" blade and a ~2" USABLE handle and came with an ambidextrous kydex sheath that could be clipped to the seam of a pocket.
and yea... i carry fixed blades primarily 😂
I really like the tops crow hawke and the discontinued tops cheetah as daily fixed blades. I run them vertical on ulticlips and I forget they're there.
The only time I carry a fixed blade is camping. The Spyderco bow river. Great for food prep.
Being in a wheelchair, I don’t like to carry fixed blades because their awkward, and so I don’t own any! That being said, this little guy is THE ONE fixed blade that I would consider carrying!
You should check out TRC Knives. All their knives are superb, but if you want an easy carry then check out the Speed Demon.
best little fixed blade is the bark river bravo edc.
Nice little fixed blade, but with that small handle a lanyard would help.
I used to share Complex's opinions on fixed blades, until I came across a Esee Izula-II.
I like to carry a Tops Mini Scandi, which is around the same size.
Yeah, been trying to get one for a while. Deadlocks and chickadees lol...
These are insanely affordable. I was expecting three times those numbers. Amazing. I would love to purchase one of these if I get the chance. 👍
Like my little Tops mini scandi pretty close in size and style.
I will edc my eese Izula when I go fishing. The entire knife is only a hair over 6 1/2 inches.
Try BMTK fixed blades they are awesome!!!!
They’re Always sold out and I don’t have social media. I Don’t know how to get ahold of one besides checking his main website occasionally 😭
Dam, I’m late to the train on this one. I wonder if there’s something similar that’s in production.
He just dropped some magnacut chickadee today, I was able ti snag one!! Can’t wait to cut some shit with this!
I have a two sun almost same. But with m390 and bone handles
This thing is pretty sweet 👍
I dig it!
How DARE You say Me using my knife as a Grappling Hook is Nonsense LOL
Dang i want one
"a fixed blade I'd actually carry"
Pulls out a toothpick.
Ya that's cute but way too small to be anything more than a package opener. I'd only ever carry a fixed blade for out in the wilderness or one designed specifically for self defense. Other than that it's a folder all day.
It's called a thumb ramp!
That knife is so small!! I’d like a folding knife over a fixed blade anyday
My friend Jeff is offended. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
First read the title as "a fixed blade is actually scary"
Will it 🪶 stick & baton
Feather stick: probably
Baton: why? Too small.
@@metal_complex
just a ridiculous comment...batoning with a 🍇 slicer
Half my life I carried only fixed blades now all I carry is folders. Worlds a weird place
Be aware of your carry laws. Some places fixed blades must be open carry on your belt.
I tried carrying a CRKT Minimalist, and missed the one-hand operation and discreet carry of my Delica.
Would it be practical to have a deep sheath (like a Morakniv, but with positive retention) with a pocket clip? I'm imagining having only the top of the sheath and ¾“/20mm of handle showing.
I'd love to see more fixed blades on the channel, but I get it's not your thing.
Looks like a micro Hell gap from James brand .
I feel like when a knife is too small you can easily cut yourself. But dang is it a sexy looking piece!
A diving board knife 🤔
Just way to small of a knife. Looks like a toy not a EDC knife. Wish he would make one just a bit larger.
Nice toothpick, Lol. Sorry, but for me watching your handling of the knife, it looks downright dainty and fragile. To be honest, a fixed blade with such a tiny handle loses the ability to do the kind of work that I would need a fixed blade for. Looks like a knife for a dandy.
yup, my investments from the 80s paid off big so I need an unobtrusive blade for my tailor made silk britches.
I really really don't like this knife.... good thing I don't have to buy it.
it was hard for me to give the vid a like, it was at 69.......
Ahti Tikka "woodpecker" is pleasant to carry on belt and under 50USD
Nice I was just looking at s35vn izula to get
best little fixed blade is the bark river bravo edc.
