- So here is a survey of 7 fixed blade knives in the 4-6" range that are commercially available. I'll be doing another vid soon on my choices for favorites in this size range in the custom knife category. These should be useful for outdoors, limited daily carry, and defensive tactics.

Thanks for doing fixed blades not something I see often in the community.
Beautiful collection, very nice review. My favorite is assaucalypse. Thank you. Always enjoying your reviews. All the best 👍
Thank very much for watching! 🗡️👍👊
This is the size fixed blades I really enjoy. So glad you did this one Dave. I've had my eye in the Fenrir and the Bastinelli more than once. Great video!
Thanks Will 👊🗡️👍
Really nice mid sized tactical fixed knives👍I own the Fox Ryu and the Rike F1, both are great knives. There are many many more knives in this category and I have three suggestions/recommendations: SOG Pillar, Microtech Borka SBK, and Benchmade Adamas 375-1 (low profile steel only or with a grip wrap or handle scales e.g. from tpgrips).
Those are really nice blades! Great review. I EDC a Winkler Crusher Belt knife with rubber handles or a TOOR and Scallywag Tactical collaboration called the MUTINY that is about it. Perfect size for all of my knife tasks. Have a great day
Great knives! I remember almost getting a Crosshair a couple of different times. I regret not getting one.
Fantastic array of knives.
Top notch assortment of killer blades knife bro!!
Sweet batch of knives! The only one I have is the RYU. Great knife! I've been eying up that Civivi too.
These definitely look like they're all made well. There's so many options when it comes to EDC and Tactical. Lately I've been carrying my Cold Steel Kobun, I also carry a XL CS Voyager. It's all preference.
For sure! We carry the tool that fits us. 👍🗡️👊
My go to mid sized fixed blade is my spyderco ronin 2
Some awesome knives! Great video 👍
Awe man. Two different price points but I’m so torn between the Fox and Bastinelli! I can’t decide lol
Well the Fox certainly has a price advantage if that helps.... 😎👍🗡️
@@OGBladeReviews I recall in your review of the Fox that it was one of the most comfortable to hold and again you’d mentioned that in this video. How does it compare to the Assaucalypse?
My beef with most of the knives in this category is that the skullcrusher pommels make it really hard or painful to wrap your thumb around it or brace it against your palm for a strong thrust
Yes I agree but that should only apply to half of the blades shown here. Any rounded or semi-rounded pommel should do for the purpose you mention, and I've used them that way....
Thanks for your comment and view! 🗡️👊🗡️
@@OGBladeReviews you have a great collection here regardless, good taste brother
Great collection, subbed.
As a fixed blade guy, they are all great but the Fox knife would be my first choice.
Wow! Thar Bastinelli though!
You do love our Bastinelli's here! ❤️🗡️🔥
@@OGBladeReviews ❤
Thanks for sharing. A collection of several interesting blades with that Sci-Fi Futuristic Dystopian F1 being a real stand out and sound like an outstanding blade. Good mix of more budget friendly, Maxwell and the Artisan offering (which I had forgotten all about) and Higher end stuff. Now please go review some pedestrian, boring, uninspiring, uninteresting disposable box cutters so my bank account can recover! Wait, I wonder how many of those I can get and what use I can put them to? 🤔Thanks again it always interesting inspiring and entertaining!
👍😂🗡️👊
So glad I found your channel...im learning real quick that you are my go to content creator for fixed blades, don't get me wrong I like all styles of knives, but have a soft spot for fixed blade knives....do you have any reviews on winkler knives? I am absolutely obsessed with his work and plan on multiple purchases....great video...thanks
Thanks for watching! 👍🗡️👊
As the majority of my blades are in the budget realm; I like the Fenrir the most. Cool video.
They offer custom grips that can really change the look
Civivi Tamashii could make this list although I wish they would do it in 14C28n, VG10 or BD1n.
Yes I kept that one out to keep the count down, and it's much closer to 4 in and I wanted to include the larger blades... Still one of my favorites though! ❤️🗡️👊
I like all of these knives but that damned designs really speaks to me. It looks to be the best edc knife , and I think it would still be a beast in a defensive situation. That’s if I couldn’t access my pistola. I don’t comment often on your vids but keep up the great content. You are a gentleman and a scholar in this community 👍
Thank you sir! Much appreciated. 👊🗡️👍
ive been trying to find a microtech crosshair forever cant find one anywhere if youw ant to sell it please let me know asap ! thanks
It's a keeper! Thanks for asking. 👍
Awesome . I saw a bastinelli sun black that looked pretty cool . Do you know the knife ?
Yes, I'm familiar with the Bastinelli "Sin," if that's the one you're referencing. Smaller though at 3 and 1/2 in. 👍🗡️
There are too way too overlooked blades that should be at the top of this list. The jx 5 and 6 from bark river. Yes they are older models but the 6 is still my absolute favorite edc fixed
Agreed! If only I had infinite access to everything possible blade... 😅🗡️👊
@@OGBladeReviews aaah the dream we all share🤣
Im really thinking of buying the rike knife. Is it good in the woods and camping?
This one is less designed for outdoors and camping and more for tactical, but good function as an outdoor knife. On the other hand I'm not sure you can still purchase this one. It could have been discontinued.....
I wish i knew why they put that big hole in the ryu. Love the rest of the knife why the stupid hole
Spyderco Envy? 🤔😂👍
@@OGBladeReviews the ryu my bad
I knew you were talking about the Ryu, bad joke on my part - was wondering if the Ryu was "envious" of Spyderco so also needed a hole... LoL 😆
@@OGBladeReviews was a good joke I’m just slow sometimes lol. But what do you feel the intended purpose of said hole is. Like i want to buy this knife but if there’s no point to the hole other than looks i may not go through with it. Everything should have a purpose
It's a design by Ken Vehikite of Black Roc Knives, so he may best answer that question. I'd say it's for a lanyard, and maybe even a thicker leather one, but who knows? Personally it doesn't bother me and I do like the angled pommel which can be used for close-in contact
Awesome knives man!
I would like to express MO on ..the “skull crushers”, the part of the full tang that pertudes from the handle- I hate them, lol! It tends to poke the body when you are concealing them. And to be honest- I don’t plan on cracking heads with the end of my blade, or smashing coconuts 😂. And if I did, G-10 would do the job. What are your thoughts?
Yeah the skull crushers may simply be a wet dream for many designers... 😆🗡️👊
I have always loved knives, and I have hundreds.. The problem is with the more expensive knives they become safe queens not tools to use, so I try… Try to stay away from knives over $250
Certainly not a bad idea, and good advice! 👍🗡️👊
Only two of the kydex sheaths out of all those knives have a push off for your thumb 😳 why?
Why can't knife companies just do this simple feature 🤷.
Exactly my point! Easily done and helpful to the user. 🤔🗡️🥴👍
Anyone herd of efangrow knives

Worse than Ganzo. Better than MTech. They make clones, so decide if you are okay with that before buying from them.
I'm sorry but they don't look very practical for Bushcraft I think Cold steel makes a better Bushcraft bit more sturdy and not that is expensive cuz they are not that fancy. Anyway those are my thoughts
The video title has nothing to do with Bushcraft. It clearly says EDC/Tactical.
