This was THE best video I've seen this far on EDC fixed blades. Very informative and detailed. Thanks! :D
John Augustin thank you!
That was an excellent video. Loaded with information and options. My preferred method of carry is horizontal. And there are few production options I like. But I’ve already ordered soft straps , and two knives based on your advice. Thank you!
I already like your channel, you carry it well , you sound educated and etc. keep you the work , your not far from some of the larger channels , you just need your name out there 👍
Great reviews. I really like that you have different price points.
Great video! I like that you mixed prices.
Great video - thank you. Schrade SCHF57 is also a good option
I've got the great plainsman and the patriot. I've been impressed with LT Wright.
Amaxing knives!! From Brazil i want them ALL
Benchmark backpacker used to be made of 1095. Today you can only get it in 440A, which despite what people will say about it, is a perfectly serviceable material. Highly corrosion resistant (unlike the 1095, which is great stuff, but it rusts) and easy to sharpen. It makes sense that they would opt for stainless, as the blade in question is not a hard use wilderness fixed blade. Rather an easy to carry small utility knife for EDC, or casual "backpacking".
Schrade makes some great knives for the price. I’m new to knives ( been gun guy forever) so I’m still learning. Still haven’t bought anything over 100 yet
Super selection and review. Thanks.
Bradford also make a guardian 3 in magnacut now!! I love it!!
A big two thumbs up, very informative.
Absolutely love my Bradford Guardian3. Need to buy some of the crushed carbon fiber handles Bradford sells from his site now. If that one is made in China, then it probably is 420HC. They don't handle much 1095. 420HC can be good steel though, other than Buck, probably most often used for folding knife liners.
I enjoyed your video, and checked out the CRKT Mossback, but went with the Schrade SCHF55 as it was cheaper at the time. But I still might get one later. I appreciate you presenting it as I was unaware of the model.
I own the CRKT Minimalist with that little braided thong and when I grip it with my pinky finger it feels good, but I attribute it more to psychological security. I have found that for me, most neck knife handles are just too small for a secure grip. So while I have larger blades and folders, for daily carry (Legal fixed blade) I am glad there are some 3.5 and 3.1 inch blades paired with a 4-inch handle.
Try the new Flytanium scales for the Minimalist - game changer. I carry it a LOT with the new scales, it fills the hand while staying tiny. I like it because it’s light enough for shorts or joggers.
Great information. Thank you.
Nice Seiko also.
great vid . I like those little fixed blades.
Thanks for stopping by!
I like the LT Wright Patriot for my everyday.
I have a Schrade SCHF16 - awesome knife!
Great video. I'd never heard of Bradford knives. That Guardian 3 has intrigued me. Thanks!
I just lost mine at a concert 2 weeks ago but it was one of my favorites in my collection. Actually gonna buy it again. The ergonomics are great and i have large hands. Handsome blade and m390 is an ass kicker
Just buy one,awesome knife.
Seems like I cannot find the soft loops on Amazon. Do you have a link or search term, please?
Hey great informative video, have you looked at that CIMA-1 as i'm interested to know about this knife?
EXCELLENT REVIEW!! Thank you very much...I love the smaller fixed blades as well but my folder collection kind of replaces the need for a small fixed blade but it doesn't keep me from buying them.
Excelente colección. Saludos desde España 🇪🇸✨
Where do you buy the belt clip you had on the Gerber Ghost strike? Thanks
Great video!
Great review!
Thanks for the video. Good info...
I am very fond of my Schrade Old Timer Sharpfinger. Very comfy in the hand and dirt cheap.
I am as well and the edge you can get is wicked. Mine was so sharp out of the box it sliced through the sheath
Very informative video... Thanks
I have that LT wright and the izula 2. I've never carried the LT but I carried the LT Wright Patriot for about a year. Great knife.
How do you like the handle on the patriot?
@@deathbyastonishment7930 I don't have large hands. It fits well for the size.
When I first started carrying small fixed blades instead of folders it was the first one I got. (D2)
It's still in the rotation but I carry the esee candiru more than anything when it comes to small fixed blades.
@@badtexasbill5261 Thanks mate, so if i have slender XL size hands it probably wouldn't work for me? I just love LT Wright knives and I would like to try a small fixed blade.
@@deathbyastonishment7930 check out the lt wright frontier valley
Great choices
if the handle seems small you can easily add a short paracord fob extension for the benchmade backpacker
Two of my favorites is the Schrade SCHF66 and the SCHF57 Try them out
learned a lot. thnx for the effort
I love my Hunt n Fisch. The smell of leather! Yum!
I have a Bradford Guardian 3 Sheepsfoot and I love I got it for my birthday yesterday
Great review
What do you think of the Spartan Horkos. That is what I wear everyday.
ESEE 3!!!and the Esee Kabar collaboration the Eskabar...
The Eskabar has to be one of the most underrated edc fixed blades out there.
I spent the money on the aftermarket handle scales (knife connection) and sheath. After that, it's a perfect user. They can do any daily task , and take a ton of abuse as well. Easy to sharpen, and takes a keen edge that lasts. I don't ever forsee destroying it, but even if I did.... It's only 40 dollars.
Bk-14 all the way.
Best video!!! Gained a sub!
Very good review! I'd like to know what's your opinion on the Spyderco Bow River and the Ka Bar TDI Pocket Strike.
The bow river is good. Outstanding ergonomics
Good review.
Mind telling me what soft loops you use for the backpacker? Tried clicking on your link but its not available.
I believe they are blade tech
Great vid! Izula 2 in Armatus sheath w/ IWB clip in the front pocket is a great edc. I’m in a state that limits concealed carry to 3”, so I’m keeping it legal. I’m on the hunt for an upscale/custom 3” blade/4” handle, I’d love to hear anyones ideas!
I need to pick up one of those Guardian 3's. I keep putting it off.
CRKT AUX fixblade just got it this tax season and let me tell ya on of the best mid range priced knifes i could ask for.
Love the watch! :)
Very good video
Hear that awesome sound the gerber makes when it goes in and out of the sheath? Yeah, that's the blade scraping on those metal retention pieces... swing and a miss, Gerber
I haven't found a problem with the Gerber, which is weird because I've hated every knife Gerber has ever made until this one. It's an EXCELLENT knife. Even if there is a problem with the edge rubbing the retention studs, which I haven't noticed, this knife is more than worth putting in a new sheath.
For me, Kydex, and imitation Kydex, belongs on a neck knife, anyway, not on a belt knife. Leather works much better for a belt knife, at least with one this size and shape. It takes very little money, very little skill, and very little time to make a top quality leather sheath for this knife, and as I said, it's more than worth it.
Yup, Gerbers for babies!
where did you get the soft loops?
Tell us about the custom blade at the end by Trident Knives. How would one order one of those? Are they now called Crusader Forge? Thanks.
45Vanguard not crusader forge. You can contact him on Instagram
I love sheaths with belt clip. And they are hard to find anymore.
An excellent video. Informative. Subscribed.
dude thanks that's a nice setup I definitely have to get one
Cool video thanks.
Great Bid Bro!....What do u think about the CRKT Sting 3b?
I like all 3 👍🏻
thanks for the video the one that caught me attention was the Gerber ghostsrtike I like the way it clicks in the sheeth hahaha I ordered me one last night thanks again
Dog the CRKT steel 18CR and brag on 440. I've had a lot luck with CRKT with very minimal issues.
Enjoyed your video. I absolutely love the Spyderco Street Beat for this category of knife. It feels so awesome in hand, beautiful micarta handles. Designed by Fred Perrin, worth every penny of the $160 pricetag.
I've had my eye on that one
Great choices! Never hear of DPX knives anymore, wonder why?
People seem to generally be moving away from “overbuilt” thick knives, maybe that’s why?
Tek-Lok works just fine with the Schrade sheath.
Good to know. That's my favorite. How did you attach it?
What color are the scales?
Where do you get the leather loops for horizontal carry? Please!!! I need some urgently!
Link in the description.
Excellent video covering a wide range of EDC knives. Thanks for your good work on this.
Frank Williams thank you!
Kudos on your vid, Next time try out DPX, + Tops blades You will love them
I love my DPx HEST Original. It was made at the time they'd brought production back to Rowen. Next fixed blade on my list to buy is a TOPS BoB.
You cant beat TOPS They have knives for all sizes of hands & all types of situations. I would literally stake my life on a Tops Knife
Paul Parent From what I gather, many people do stake their lives on TOPS. Their catalog is amazingly diverse. One could collect _only_ TOPS knives and have a really stellar showcase with knives for every purpose. The fact that every single knife gets personal attention really closes the deal. Not some production plant where stuff just happens, instead a bunch of people all throughout the process making sure each blade comes off the line perfected.
Pendleton mini hunter is great edc knife however it is three finger knife. I think steel is VG10. Excellent kydex sheath and it’s under 50 bucks.
Why did you say the Gerber knife Has a Paul Bos heattreat?
I Is he now working with Gerber also?
I just recently got into fixed blades for the simplicity and I have had problems with even high end folders. To u think the izula 2 is too think for edc? I have an izula 2 with micarta handles. I want to carry it and it’s sharp but it seems a little thick? Any opinions on this?
Like Condors stuff ?
You mentioned that you carry your edc fixed blade at your belt buckle, how exactly does that carry option fit? I'm new to carrying a fixed blade and haven't found a carry option that works right for me yet.
Best fixed knife review! Thank you! Subscribed. The soft loops link is broken. Van anyone suggest which ones work the best?
I like the kizer task 2 myself
Would like to know where I can purchase one of these Knives please comment back thank you very much
Have a look on bladehq mate, or knife center
Great show.but can test them for strength .Which one is the strongest.thx
This has been a fantastic n fair review, thank you. Btw, for the price of the Guardian, that crappy sheath is ridiculous.
There are some very good knives at or under $50 .
Opinion on the bucklite max small?
The Cold Steel Kobun is the best fixed blade EDC
Very nice review. Very instructive.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
I love my Guardian 3 but I have the same problem with the sheath, mine has also lost retention. 1 big question: Why no Bark River knives?!
Thulnos Ownly - I bought the aramatus architect sheath for mine. It's amazing
I got an Armatus Architect as well, they're sweet and the cost to get it with a pattern is not much more than the basic sheath.
Get a Spyderco G-Clip to go with it, that's the winning combination.
Thulnos Only Yeah! The Bravo EDC is amazing!
Great vid, but You left out the DpX HEST which is a better designed esee, and several tops knives. The Bradford guardian series is excellent for edc.
I bought a Spyderco Street beat years ago and nothing's come close to it's perfection. That custom Trident looks pretty sweet though, man what a deal! Is it in the sheath backwards? It looks like the edge should go the other way.
I was hoping this vid included the Street Beat. I’m expecting mine (full tang, micarta grips) to be delivered in a week. All reviews indicate “perfection"! I’m almost drooling. Hard to go wrong with Spyderco. Glad you like yours.
where do you get these soft loops?
Pretty
Decent blade collection.
You left out the Schrade SCHF55 Frontier. Great little knife for EDC and Bush Craft. Multiple carry options and the blade steel is 1095. I love mine. I have both the SCHF42 and SCHF42D models also. They to are outstanding knives but the 55 seems to find it's way on my belt more than my many large knives.
Just got the 42d . The 55 is in the mail.and I already have the 56m and love it. But it's too thick. Hopefully the 55 will be better for edc.
Funny this video is old yet I still love my schf55. Absolutely great design.
My next favorite that nobody knows about utica utk-n2. It is the knife I never go into the woods without. It is like you took a esse and actually made it a good knife. The grind and the finish is top notch. It's the perfect sized
Great video man, just what I was looking for. these soft loops, how do you attach them? can you do a video, showing us how to do it?
once again thanks and keep up the great work.
David Mazo they install easily through the grommet holes though they don't work with every type of sheath.
Knives, Guns, & Gear will the work with a schrade molded sheath?
David Mazo is think it would depend on the sheath but it worked great with schf16 featured in the video
Knives, Guns, & Gear Thanks man, I really appreciate your help. God bless and have a great day.
David Mazo no problem at all. Thanks for watching
Check out Spyderco Street Beat, full tang, miicarta handle, 3.2oz, VG-10...sweet! I carry it horizontally at 11o'clock; minimal or no printing w shirt out.
Great video
+Dizzy JONAH Thanks!
Tip: If you've only ever carried a folder be careful. My first time carrying a small fixed blade I "sheathed" it into my hand and damn that hurt.
I've carried knives all my knife and never got cut before but of course a small fixed blade is very different. Oddly that not only never happened with my folders it never happened with large fixed blades.
yeeeeshhh .. yeah, i made a simple wrap around slip in slip out sheath to prevent that ... experience ,, peace
Asking for the benchmark for my bday😉
Taste varies with the individual. None of those knives would be in my top one hundred, let alone my top ten, but my guess is none of my top ten would be to your liking, either.
Wow izula 2 haters congrats on being the only 6 on the planet
hey check out the TOPS BULL TROUT
How about the hest dpx?
That ghost strike knife looks like that one fuckin ed fixed blade I completely forget the name right now but I wanna say it's called the guardian but I don't know it just reminds me of it I think it's made by Spartan knives
I have that gerber knife but mine has a defect that causes a burr in the blade. It hits something in sheath
choice tub
GO with the Schrade !!! ✌️ 😔 2nd place the bench mark
