    this video was awesome! thanks so much, this is EXACTLY the type of video I am always digging around for, Its not that I dont like folders. I have plenty, and I plan to have much more, but my primary daily carry is always gonna be a fixed blade, with a neck knife and or a folder as backup. At 34 years old, I find that I just prefer a fixed. I know lots of younger guys (younger than me) are all about the folder, but I hope the demand for small fixed blades grows, because I would love to have a ton of new options for my collection, so lets all try to make the trend lean that direction eh? thanks again. im gonna subscribe in hope of more great content like this!

    I've owned a couple of those CRKT Obake knives, they're a very handy and agile little knife. The resin-impregnated nylon really does give a lot of good traction, a lot of terrain between the wrap for your hand to set in. They will get very dirty with use though, and don't clean as easily as your g10 or other materials; much like micarta.
    It's a good knife when you're having to hold onto something but still need your knife at the ready, it's handle is slim enough and very well textured to easily hang on between the ring and pinky fingers out of the way while you manipulate an object, and the slim blade shape is good for just general mobility, compact cutting or witling, and just picking or scraping in a tight spot where a wider blade shape would be insufficient.

    Really my folders i carry everyday are as long as most of the knives you showed, but when mine are open my smallest has 41/2in blade. I believe there is no substitute for reach.
    I really did like the harpoon blade. I tried the Obake I didn't like carrying it. It would be ok if I didn't sit down AllDay.
    I normally carry a vaquero xl serrated as a backup self-defense for cutting stuff I carry broken skull.
    I think if fixed blades were cheaper I might try them but the ones I really like cost over $150 like Bradford guardian or the esse i also tried the tops msk but didn't like it gave it to my brother.

    I EDC several knives, among them a fixed-blade knife with a six inch blade and an overall length of about ten inches, in a sheath I made.
    Strangely enough, in my area ( middle TN ) nobody even gives it a second glance, as a rule.

    The reason the harpoon showed as 1095 instead of D2 is because Kabar/Becker has a Harpoon that’s 1095.

  • @DavidNefelimSlayer

    My favorite is the Fred Perrin, Le Petit Bowie, which is made in France and a better material value than the "subway/street beat."
    IMO.
    I really like a Lionsteel manufactured knife called the Dendra Inazuma.
    The Bastenelli Mako and Silence Slim get carried once in while, my wife carries the Silence Slim exclusively. Bradford, ESEE, get time and comparable to that Tops Poker you show, Lionsteel H2.
    I'm still waiting on the triple grind Smilodon from Pinkerton.
    I'm not sure if it is fetish or addiction, perhaps just an unapologetic constitutional right.
    Applause ensues.

      I've handled the Sin and it's a bit too small. I do like Tsukamaki wrapped handles, but I put off on that model a number of times. The red V2 is nearly 4 in in blade length and for me a perfect size!

  • @JasonPatrick-tj4xj
    @JasonPatrick-tj4xj 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a few bastinelli knives. I'm a fan, but I don't carry or train with what I own....sometimes....but I should more....I hate being a "safe queen". The cheap price and being easily replaceable obake makes it more an edc. I don't like that part of my personality. The expensive, hard to get blades, are sometimes over protected by the owner. Is actually like to sell/ trade what I don't use

    I carry fixed blades as defensive only as my EDC--meaning they only come out to stab
    I carry either shoulder holster style---either alone or attached to my gun shoulder holster CS KOBUN or
    I carry horizontal style to left of my center line KABAR Hinderance or
    I carry weak or strong side KABAR TDI or HK Plan B or
    I carry necklace Boker Subcom FB
    key to knives that i found are 1 retention of sheath 2 length depending on carry 3 handle design as when pulling it quick need to be able to full grip as well as protect fingers
    I owned Street Beat out of these and sheath was way too wide to carry
    OBAKE is terrible knife--did not retain in sheath and terrible grip
