George you have been killing it my man. You really break down every knife tip to butt in phenomenal detail. It's been awesome seeing your growth on this channel
Great to see some fixed blade love!! Also happy to see BladeHQ getting back into it's video groove. This vid provides some great info with some some very realistic options offered up - something for everyone. FYI I use a number of my blades in the garden - RAT 1, Buck 110, Mora Companion and a couple of others - all really useful. I cut, slice, dig, scrape, etc no problem - just a little maintenance and they keep rocking. SRK is also a great option!! Sharp blades all.
You’re kiddinggggg me, I just placed my order yesterday and it was packed about 30 minutes ago, I watched all of your videos on fixed blades and bought two fixed blades :,)
I learned the same lesson the hard way. Since then,I have always taught my students to keep their fingers away from the cutting edge of the knife sheath, regardless of leather or kydex. Even after cutting yourself you kept fingers on that side of the sheath when removing or replacing the knife in the sheath. Hold it by the spine side wrapped around the side but clear of the cutting side.
Excellent vid, thank you. I've grown disgusted at the ridiculous prices of folders (don't care what steel or lock, a folder IS a TOOL w limitations). I unsubbed to many channels highlighting +$400 folders that aren't even available.. This was also fantastic AND refreshing not to see only $300+ fixed blades. Really, thank you for such great content AND exellent Presentation. Well done.
The Esse Izula is my backpacking knife. Picked it up from you folks on a sale, and it goes with me on all my trips, it's fantastic for small emergency jobs around camp.
I have really become a follower of your videos. Blade HQ is lucky to have such a personable well spoken and knowledgeable spokesman. I also love fixed blades. The large ones like Bowies are just plain cool. There’s something about blades that make you buy more and more when we all know we don’t need all of them. Wait, yes we do need all of them
@@DDDYLN pretty assumptive don’t you think. I do watch knife reviews. I probably have more knowledge of steels than you do. How do you know where I purchase knives. What defines useless. You? I don’t think you’re the God of what is and isn’t allowed in the knife world.
I haven't watched the entire video yet, but let me say you do a real good job with the info and pace. If I may suggest, please include (next time) where each knife is made. Keep up the good work.
Great to see some fixed blade love. The Ruike Jager is a great sub 100 fixed blade in that same cryo 14C28N hell of a knife for the price. With So many brands to choose from and different applications it's a great time to be a knife guy. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
When I delivered pizza I carried a CS SRK secured horizontally to my belt in front (belt buckled to the right of it). The rubberized grip worked with greasy hands or dishwater on it, the knife and sheath were black so it blended in with my uniform, in that position it was quickly and surreptitiously accessible with either hand in most situations while still concealing under my shirt, and it was still big enough to act as a decent deterrent if lethal action wasn't yet necessary. It wasn't a gun, but I worked with what was available to me.
Awesome show. I love fixed blades. I have 4 knives, but the 2 I use the most are my WINKLER CrusherBelt knife with rubber handles, and my TOOR and Scallywag Tactical collaboration knife called the MUTINY. It is cannon black, and CPM-154 steel that is seriously underrated. My favorite EDC, but my WINKLER is my favorite blade. The sheath is really awesome. It was $293.50 with my military discount. Winkler gives veterans 25% off the price. The TOOR/Scallywag tactical MUTINY was $350. I have another TOOR it is the FIELD 2.0 and that is a really great knife . It is a great EDC. Good luck with your blades I hope they treat you good!
George I'm not a huge fan of the SRK. I've snapped tips on 3 different knives. I really wanted to like it especially for the price point but IMO it's best suited for the garden like your dad does with it.
I really enjoyed the tutorial on fixed blade knives and the sheaths they need make them easy to remove from the blade. I purchased a knife on Amazon I tried for 30 remove it from the sheath and I couldn't now I have to return Amazon is and it's American made today I have to return it. Make it easy to just push it with your thumb and the blade comes you shouldn't have to use two hands to remove your blade.
It's an understatement that removal should be one handed, especially when there are so many sheaths that have a thumb push off point that just pops the knife out!
Great job George! I haven't pulled the trigger on a fixed blade yet, but I have a few in mind now. That Buck 119, That's one my great grandfather would have in his collection...
Esee is the best knife company. They are one of the few that stand behind their product with an unlimited lifetime warranty. By the time my first got beat up enough that I was thinking I might need to warranty it because of a tiny crack on the handle (Izula) from batoning through hardwood, I was fully attached to that knife so I welded the crack filed it down smooth and bought a new one.
George, congrats on finding your lane! I think you've been able to carve out a credible spot in the Knife Dealer vlog-host genre. I appreciate your experience in creating knife copy for Blade HQ, and it shows in your comments and passion for edged tools. Hard to do, authentically. I think you've gone past the awkward period, when Blade HQ was just trying out many guest hosts. Bring back Tomas Alas as your video foil. Just like Zac and Kurt had a video vibe, just like Ben and Zac had a video vibe. I think you are restoring the Blade HQ credibility
Still love my Chris Reeves Pacific fixed blade the best, but I like all knives pretty much, the folders are the only once I tend to have on me though. Often more than one. Great channel and reviews, I have bought many, many knives from Blade HQ over the years. Great service.
I love my condor kickback neck knife carbon steel and coated super Sharp yet nice and light with paracord handle lightweight kydex sheath for a great neck knife.... My other favorite is the CRKT minimalist neck knife with the Bowie style blade.. so small so light.. and so comfortable for a minimalist tiny knife.. wear around your neck .. and you forget it's there
Great video! I have been edcing 2 different 2 Feathers Productions knives for about a month and a half now and don’t think I’ll ever stop carrying a fixed blade. Never thought I would enjoy fixed blades as an edc but once you find some that work for you, it definitely changes your perspective. Great info video and I hope some people go get some EDC fixed blades and grow the community!
The Ruike hornet is such a good fixed blade around $50. The sheath alone makes it a joy to carry but the design and size of the blade make it a perfect edc if you need a fixie.
Yesterday I was edc'ing TOPS Knives BTK by Allen Jensen. It's one of my best knives for fixed blade EDC along with Esse CR 2.5 and TOPS custom shop Ute!
Really appreciated this kind of video. Super informative and really helps me better understand some differences between brands and styles. Also appreciate calling out which knives were made in USA. A bonus point when deciding to buy anything (not always end all be all though)
@@DZNTZ yeah, the sheath the leather sheath the guardian 3 comes with is a horizontal carry. So you put your belt buckle off center and put the knife where the belt buckle usually is.
@Zx2Solomon I have only sent the 375 D2 to benchmade once and they had a nice edge on it. When I sent in my mini freek for the 2nd time they kinda messed it up a bit.
@@Knivess0 when I got my mini grip back from Benchmade, I thought it was pretty sharp. Then my uncle will run his calloused thumb up and down the edge and go "yep, that isn't sharp". Pulls out his stones and oils for an hour and will turn that edge sharper than a katana. He doesn't buy into the super steels lol
@@Knivess0 idk. He's pretty old school. He has a lot of old school knives with wooden handles. He likes case knives. Another one he just got that's cool is the opinel? I've been seeing it in a lot of guys knife collections on TH-cam. Where you twist the metal thing to lock the blade. Thing is neat! Anything vintage really with wood. Don't know anyone who can get a knife or broadhead sharpen than uncle Scott. Nickname is hatchet Jack
Great Tutorial! Right in line with my current interest. As well: A couple that I had not thought about... That, have made it on my seriously must consider! Thanx, J
Thanks for the overview. I really appreciate you naming the Ruike Hornet. I think it's one of the most underrated small fixed blades on the market. From a practical use standpoint, it's got outstanding cutting performance, a useful and versatile blade shape, easy to sharpen/hone steel that's tough as nails and very stain resistant, a slim and compact form, a surprisingly ergonomic handle, and a versatile, effective polymer sheath. Also, it's a looker with clean, almost elegant lines. I'd honestly pick it over the Izula, Izula 2, BK 11, or the BK 14 any day.
No matter what other knife I am carrying, no matter if I'm hunting, hiking, camping etc; I ALWAYS have a Mora in my pack. It is perfectly capable on its own, extremely inexpensive and lightweight. I have and use many nicer and more expensive knives but the Mora is with me every time.
Excellent Video. Pure class. I have about 60% of these knives. I’m very interested in looking into the ones I don’t have from this video. Keep making more of these reviews. Best wishes.
The white river caper is one of the best knives I’ve ever owned. I can slide it in my pocket for edc and it’s very comfortable and capable for small task in the woods as well.
I bought a Ka-Bar BK2 10 years ago for $50. The thing is a beast. Yes, I still have it. It too big to EDC though. Great video as I’m in the market for a fixed blade EDC.
Missed the opportunity to mention LionSteel fixed blades. We all know they are absolutely amazing quality for the money. My T6 K490 is an absolute unit.
Hella yes! It takes the place in my rotation of Becker BK-2 while looking like TRC Apocalypse! I totally am grateful that I pulled the trigger on K490 before it went to CPM 3V!
I didn't think I would like it at first, because the handle is a bit small for me, but of all my fixed blades, the Esee 4 gets the most use. In terms of weight, overall quality, sheath and price, it is very hard to beat. The only real competitor on the table might be the Mora. But I haven't tried it yet.
The Ka-bar Mk1 was used by the Navy first but too many of them were breaking so the Marines wanted their own knife and it became the USMC fighting knife, right after that the Navy adopted that same knife then called it the Mk2. The Marines later called their fighting knife the Mk2, after that it found it's way to the Army and later the Space Force.
The Izula, Izula 2, Mini Harpoon, and Lackey get a lot of front pocket edc carry from me. Another favorite pocket carry is the MKM Makro, fit and finish is perfection and you get a sharp, slicey, premium steel with a great pocket sheath. A good front pocket fixie needs a good 2.5-3” blade, with a handle 3.5-4”. A 7” (or under) knife is SO easy to carry you won’t know it’s there but can do most jobs. The best knife is the one you carry!
Still watching but it's all about the sheaths. If you can't carry it comfortably and securely it really DOESN'T matter how great the knife is.
I agree
Totally agree with that!
I’ve always said a knife is only as good as your ability to carry it
100%
What are you talking about I just walk around with the knife in my hand at all times and leave the sheath at home everyone does that
I have had the Adamas for 5-7 years and it has never let me down! Stays razor sharp!
More vids like this. George you have elevated this channel drastically. Now yall are gettin it done right !
Surprised I did not hear you review any Joker knives, especially the Nomad
I bought a Lionsteel T5 last year and it's beautiful.
Italian made quality and reasonably priced.
George you have been killing it my man. You really break down every knife tip to butt in phenomenal detail. It's been awesome seeing your growth on this channel
unpopular opinion but he's what bhq needed for a long time
With no visible notes, I might add.
Butt
I recently picked up a Guardian 3 I Magnacut. It's the first time I've EDCd a fixed blade.
Great to see some fixed blade love!! Also happy to see BladeHQ getting back into it's video groove.

The Reiff F3XC is a phenomenal knife. Carried mine every single day since I purchased it. Worth it IMO.
I am a Boy Scout, and my scoutmaster has his own forge and he made me a fixed blade knife when I made first class rank
That's very cool!
That's awesome and congratulations
Well done Bud!

100% believe knife safety is totally cool! Not boring or dumb! ( Not saying this ironically as a tease or joke)
Knives should be learned in order: knife safety, knife sharpening ( to help you choose a knife) and then getting a knife.

I love fixed blades. Great video Thanks so much !!
A convex grind in a fix blade is a MUST for me, so Bark river, falkniven, LTwright, and other convex ground knives are what I would choose…

MrVikingmead Not a bonus for me. USA made just means Inspect your purchase a little more thoroughly.
If you’re looking for a fixed blade you can’t go wrong with the srk from cold steel. Just a suggestion. It’s a good all around fixed blade.
Got an old carbon 5 (v) srk 👌👍🏻👍🏻
I love my (full sized) Harpoon Silver by Kizer!
The sheath could've been better, but the knife is great!
For anyone considering the Bradford Guardian 3, try swapping your belt buckle over one loop, and rock it in the front. It's 11/10
That’s how I carry my Bradford Guardian 3.5. And your correct on a scale of 1-10 it ranks an 11!
Carried my G3 scout at 11 o'clock for a year and it's great. Then again, I already carried my esee 3/4 that way and still rotate them
@@bobjohnson1633 what clip did you get to carry the Esee 4 scout carry?
Are you saying buckle the belt off-center and wear the knife in the front-center where the buckle would typically be? (I’m assuming horizontal)
@@DZNTZ yeah, the sheath the leather sheath the guardian 3 comes with is a horizontal carry. So you put your belt buckle off center and put the knife where the belt buckle usually is.
Love that REIFF knife, big knives are cool but having a small fixed blade you can use every where is what I like. Great video!
I have the old school D2 Adamas fixed blade. I got some custom grips for it and I love it. I just send it to benchamde whenever I need it sharpened

I'd love to see more on White River. The firecraft line! Definitely not spoken of enough!
Great summary! Love the 3 price ranges as well. Thank you.
I absolutely love my SRK-C.
Especially considering the fact that it’s typically under $50 is just an absolute steal.
Thanks for the overview. I really appreciate you naming the Ruike Hornet. I think it's one of the most underrated small fixed blades on the market. From a practical use standpoint, it's got outstanding cutting performance, a useful and versatile blade shape, easy to sharpen/hone steel that's tough as nails and very stain resistant, a slim and compact form, a surprisingly ergonomic handle, and a versatile, effective polymer sheath. Also, it's a looker with clean, almost elegant lines. I'd honestly pick it over the Izula, Izula 2, BK 11, or the BK 14 any day.
+1 to Bark River. Have a bravo alpha in 3v. Baton the heck out of it, and still looks new.
Thanks for the great overview. I am looking for a versatile outdoor knife and got some nice input here.
No matter what other knife I am carrying, no matter if I'm hunting, hiking, camping etc; I ALWAYS have a Mora in my pack. It is perfectly capable on its own, extremely inexpensive and lightweight. I have and use many nicer and more expensive knives but the Mora is with me every time.
Exactly the video I’ve been waiting for
Excellent Video. Pure class. I have about 60% of these knives. I’m very interested in looking into the ones I don’t have from this video. Keep making more of these reviews. Best wishes.
Bradford guardian 3 sheepsfoot in m390 is my edc fixed blade.
I have blades in cruwear, magnacut, and s35vn. But one of my favorite blades is my becker Bk7 in good old 1095cv steel.
Great show 👍👍👍👍👍 and thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍
The white river caper is one of the best knives I’ve ever owned. I can slide it in my pocket for edc and it’s very comfortable and capable for small task in the woods as well.
Put some cord on it to anchor it to belt loop.
"and just go to work..."
Proceeds to not go to work haha. All love bro! Great video!
Gerber nailed it with the ambidextrous sheath. Would love to see more knifemakers do that and put more thought into their sheaths..
Great video! I like the way you covered all the different price points. Most of the knives I have seen on videos but interduce me to a few new ones.
I bought a Ka-Bar BK2 10 years ago for $50. The thing is a beast. Yes, I still have it. It too big to EDC though. Great video as I’m in the market for a fixed blade EDC.
Excellent video thank you so much for taking time for making it for us
Did the same thing w/a BK-7 ! Those ka-bars come SHARP !
I may always carry a knife on my everywhere I go but I always make sure I have my mora as a back up got one in all my vehicles and tackle boxes
Very unfortunate that Winkler wasn't shown. A 10/10 fixed blade maker with an even better sheath.
What????? Winkler hands down. The goat of fix blades. I carry one every day of the week
Thanks for the recommendation, brother. I just picked me up a Belt Knife.
most people don’t have winkler money
@@acid6urns Most people don't have Reiff money either, but those were shown. Winkler and Reiff are essentially occupying the exact same price bracket.
Excellent review. You did a superb job.
White River knives are awesome! Love my Backpacker Pro!
the Ruike hornet sheath is why I would get that blade. Being able to carry scout with a decently made sheath for under 50 bucks is pretty cool.
Daggers. Need this type of episode for fixed blade daggers. Daggers don't get enough love or attention.
Daggers are very illegal in most countries. That's why they're not talked much about.
@Benny-jt9cj Well, freedom and liberty are individual choices all people must make.
Missed the opportunity to mention LionSteel fixed blades. We all know they are absolutely amazing quality for the money. My T6 K490 is an absolute unit.
Hella yes! It takes the place in my rotation of Becker BK-2 while looking like TRC Apocalypse! I totally am grateful that I pulled the trigger on K490 before it went to CPM 3V!
carry some variant of esee3 with me everyday and have been for years. keep on strapped on my vest also.
I liked the classification sets in each dollar amount: EDC, hunting, etc.
You need to do another fixed blade video like this
Love my White RIver caper.
Good job. Love your videos. You guys always make awesome content. Keep up the good work. Have a good day.
George mate...you've got stamijna. Great presentation. Cheers from Australia.
White River M1 best EDC knife hands down I ordered it all the way to Germany from the US.
I didn't think I would like it at first, because the handle is a bit small for me, but of all my fixed blades, the Esee 4 gets the most use. In terms of weight, overall quality, sheath and price, it is very hard to beat. The only real competitor on the table might be the Mora. But I haven't tried it yet.
I got excited and spent 850$ for a Fallkniven Modern Bowie thats 2 car payments i missed but i dont regret my purchase ❤❤❤❤
The white rive m1 caper is my edc knife. Love it so much have a few of them.
Another episode of “Knives I didn’t know I needed”😊 great video!
So happy to see they put a Ruike in a video
Bow River is also a great steak knife- I replaced all my Chicago Cutlerys with them.
I'd never have thought of that, but it's genius!
Great line up. Thank you for going through the different price points.
My pick is the Bradford knives for edc and esse for bushcraft.
The Ka-bar Mk1 was used by the Navy first but too many of them were breaking so the Marines wanted their own knife and it became the USMC fighting knife, right after that the Navy adopted that same knife then called it the Mk2. The Marines later called their fighting knife the Mk2, after that it found it's way to the Army and later the Space Force.
ABKT make some of the best budget knives out there surprised I’ve never seen one on this channel
The Izula, Izula 2, Mini Harpoon, and Lackey get a lot of front pocket edc carry from me. Another favorite pocket carry is the MKM Makro, fit and finish is perfection and you get a sharp, slicey, premium steel with a great pocket sheath. A good front pocket fixie needs a good 2.5-3” blade, with a handle 3.5-4”. A 7” (or under) knife is SO easy to carry you won’t know it’s there but can do most jobs. The best knife is the one you carry!
