You got me looking into TKell stuff, especially your reveal of the Agent 001. Unfortunately it was sold out BUT I managed to find someone who had a brand new one they had to sell off due to impending fatherhood and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I have the Krl Jr, prefer the Bastinelli Sin for belt carry, have the OG Street Beat in satin and sometimes carry the El Pionero. I'm also fond of Milmak and Sosby's work and most of the time I've an MF Bladeworks Vandal in my offside.
Thank for lining these up and for providing shop and names in the description. I've been circling around Bradford's 3.5 as a buy for daily carry, but more than a few in your collection might beat it for design directed at particular purpose.
Love the content, Dave...Pretty sweet collection, even if I do speak as one fairly new to the hobby. Folks such as yourself and Bob are top-notch, and I'm constantly learning a great deal from tuning in to you guys....Gratitude! 😊
Loved this video! 😍 I’m a knife and blade enthusiast as well. 😎 the viper handy was new to me! As well as a couple others. Thanks, brother of the blade. 🫡😁
I have the same exact Viper Handy. I wasn’t sure about the ordering Ultem, but I’m glad I did. It looks great in person. I also have the MKM TPF too. I wasn’t a fan of the sheath at first either. But it has grown on me and become easier to use over time. I carry mine inside the waist band of my pants.
Tkell does make some good blades. Can't wait for the next Agent 001 drop, that's the next purchase on my list. Should have jumped on the last drop but already had 3 open orders for knives with him. Already have the Nightguard, very cool blade but is pretty much self defense only use so also want a multiuse one.
Amazing content here and big props for having such an amazing collection. Any plans on reviewing also the TRC made Williams kaikens? I have the SZM003 myself and I absolutely love it, I can't even put it down.
TRC manufactured fixed blades for Williams are a bit up there in the price bracket, but I'm sure they are superb! If I do add another Williams to the collection it would likely be the 4.5" Osoraku Zukuri Kwaiken in Magnacut made by Lionsteel. Thanks for watching! 👍🗡️👊
Thanks so much for the referral and I do understand how special this model is, however I'm in the process of selling and not buying lately as my income stream is a bit down having just retired. I'll keep my eyes open for the future and many thanks again!
Dude i want that MKM Terzuola TPF Defense so bad it's gonna be my next knife i think it's so good and actually made by Lion Steel so that heat treat is impeccable and actually good like 63 HRC unlike most Italian magnacut currently carrying a Viper Basic 1 and Berus 1 Basic in magnacut Berus in M390 both with carbon scales so they match i always have both of them on me basic on my belt svout carry Berus clipped to my pocket lol my neighborhood is pretty rough people get shot and robbed constantly here in dutch town St Louis as of late is been crazy
Check out Ecos Knives. They're in the Philippines and their prices are very reasonable. I think you'll like their style. The steel is usually nothing fancy(I think they're mostly 1095) but it's definitely enough to get the job done. I have 4. A cleaver style I EDC'd for a long time, a kwaiken style one I currently EDC, a very narrow kiridashi I use as a desk knife, and a big heavy chopper that has an interesting wooden sheath with a magnet in it(it stays on a shelf, I think its beautiful).
I don't understand how they are getting $200 for a small fixed blade? I understand some folders costing more. But a fixed blade is ridiculously easy to make. It made sense to buy a knife when they were affordable but nowadays even if i messed up a few times it might cost $25-30 in materials. It really seems people don't understand what production is. Marketing and branding have people paying crazy prices for regular carbon steel.
Certainly, for a small knife the amount of material invested for manufacture doesn't really matter. But it would really depend upon whether you're saying that a purely custom knife is too much or a production manufactured knife is too much. Most buyers don't realize the incredible amount of time that goes into tooling and setup and design for any knife to be manufactured, particularly if it's made in the US where there are higher labor costs and insurance to be paid to employees and so forth. I can't say I can justify the higher costs of production fixed blades, but much of it is driven by the consumers desire to have something new and unique, and you might say "fashionable." Thanks for watching and your comment. 👍🗡️👊
Yes, I agree, fixed blade prices are ridiculous! Compared to a folder, there is no comparison in complexity and the precision machining needed to make a good one, not to mention the assembly time. Yet, there are LOTS of excellent folders in the $25-75 range, some with good steel too. Even taking into account the sheath, a fixed blade of equal quality should cost half as much.
Again, we can't just compare all fixed blades to folders, especially if the fixed blade happens to be a custom. Now, if we're comparing custom folders, then you'll see those prices skyrocket over most fixies. It's really hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison. Before comparing consider materials, method of production, country of production, cost of marketing, labor, design royalties, and many other factors. In the end, pick something that suits your purpose at the right price, and lately there are plenty to choose from! 👍
I was going to get a tkell for my ddc but the wait time to get one is at 6-8 months as of now. Hahaha, pass. Your making a knife, not a car. Custom or not thats ridiculous. I get custom built tube amps made in half that time. Its Just silly
We all need to make our decisions based on our personal needs, for sure. Tim is backed up quite a bit on orders, so I hear. At least with making cars you have a full staff plus robots! 😄🗡️👊
I’ll gladly take that TKell Knives Agent 001 off your hands!!!!! I have two and am looking forward to the next drop to add a third one!!! Awesome review and nice collection of fixies!!!!🫡
Fantastic collection. I'm going to enjoy going back and forth between them because it's eye candy!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha totally been doing the same
Tkell is the best of the best ! Veteran owned, good people, good family and a great Live Stream on Sunday's !
👍🗡️👍
Il Viper Handy è semplicemente fantastico!!!
What an amazing Collection! Thank You for sharing these with us
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🗡️👍🗡️
Both those tkells are in my edc. Love Tim's work.
👊🗡️👍
Great selection of knives and excellent commentary. Well done. TKell and Compliance are my favorites
Very happy with my Viper Handy ❤
I thought i knew something about knives...Wow! What an education. Thankyou sir.
Share what I know - thanks for watching! 👍🗡️👍

Bradford's are certainly a great knife and great buy, if you aren't drawn to anything in this particular review. Thanks for watching!
Superb presentation, thank you.
The MKM looks great too, I own the James Williams OZK 002 from Lionsteel as well and am very happy with it.
Very nice! Thanks for watching!

🗡️🙏🗡️
That Hog Tooth is the nicest looking to me. It looks like something a witch hunter would carry from the 1400s or something.
Armatus makes great kydex sheaths for lots of knives.
amazing collection OG, highly impressed here
Glad you enjoyed! 👍🗡️👊
Great video review 👍! I look forward to your videos regarding fixed blades. Keep them coming!
I plan to! Thanks for watching 👍🗡️👊

Good choice!
Man Viper makes Amazing knives i absolutely love the Tommaso Rumici desighns by Viper
🗡️👊🗡️ Actually, Silvestrelli designed the Viper Handy.
top notch killer blades Dave!!
👊🗡️👍🔥
Nice collection
A blade does not fail. It does not misfire. It works if wet. Does not require a internet or electric connection. No batteries required.
Tkell does make some good blades. Can't wait for the next Agent 001 drop, that's the next purchase on my list. Should have jumped on the last drop but already had 3 open orders for knives with him. Already have the Nightguard, very cool blade but is pretty much self defense only use so also want a multiuse one.
I would include the Fisher Blades Beckwith Covert knife in this list also. I'd love to see a review in the future from you!

When did you change your page name ?
Channel name changed three months ago, from ThisOldSword to OG Blade Reviews.....

Wow 1095 is a work horse steel. Clean it from time to time like cast iron or be a lazy F56K
Gonna get me a tkell now. They are sexi.
