So my normal EDC knives are many lol. Here's a list that I carry. Yes all day every day. -CRKT provoke -CRKT karamin (neck knife) -OKC Rat mod 1 -Civivi miny praxis -CRKT CEO -Benchmade mini bugout -Ozark trail fakeout (work knife) -3 Swisstechs- haltbar, and the two green mictarta ones -Cold steel double agent -Cold steel mini tac -Buck 110 light. Or the original, depending on the day -torus pt111 gt w/ extra mag
The Mink is my go-to these days. I had been carrying an Ali-Express knife that someone pointed out was heavily inspired by the Mink, so I had to get the real thing and love it
My ideal EDC is a max of 7" preferably under 6" with taco sheath carried appendix style on loops. I like the pancake style with an Ulticlip Slim 3.3 for hip pocket carry. GrizzleBearLeatherCrafting designed a leather hip pocket sheath for the same style that just slips in and the rough leather on the back keeps it in the pocket.
Enzo Necker Esse izula 2 Boker AK1 American Tanto Lt Wright Frontier First Joker Avispa Artisan Cutlery Seasnake All great EDC options would love to see a review on any of these
Got the Civivi Stormridge in NITRO-V blade and green micarta. It's a great taco sheath with a thumb push-off, and I also put an Ulticlip 3.3 slim on it. Changed the carry to a whole different level.
Great rundown. That is by far the best looking Smolt i've seen. I can't seem to find it anywhere though. Both of the Holtzmans look badass also. Carrying an October 20CV titanium and SRK compact today.
Quick answer from what I understand: they freeze the steel down to like -300 degrees or something that supposedly helps improve the grain and wear resistance of the steel
Great channel! Watched several videos, and you are very informative without being boring. Have already ordered a knife you recommended. Subscribed today! Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
@GBall_Vision I ended up getting 2 Deckhands. Love them. I would love to have that Hoglet! Been trying to sell myself on a blade like that for awhile and that knife looks awesome. I usually wear my neck knives upside down on the strap of my sling bag. EDC. Thanks for the videos!
@@hemphbleh926 they are 2 different sizes, There's a good chance that you will like the smaller knife, but it's possible you might prefer the larger one. It's going to be trial and error. I bought dozens of fixed blades before I nailed down what I like. Start small and go up. I did the opposite and it was tough
@@GBall_Vision mainly replacing my full size pocket knife with a fixed blade (possibly scout carried) so I can have a dash more pocket room during my workday. I am also looking for a front pocket carry fixed blade min the medium range but that's an entirely different can of worms.
@@GBall_Vision for my FPC it's very low due to seeing if I want to actually invest in a decent FPC or just tool around with it for a bit. Also Olight has a 50% sale on a few models for Hurricane Relief Charity.
I want me a Smolt. I want the black and ultim one they showed on their stream a while back. I’m not usually into peepee plastic, but with something blacked out it looks cool.
Just picked up a White River Tool Ursus Cub in Magnacut. It's an amazing knife, and kind of similar to the Asher Lil Buddy. Appreciate your video, brother. Of the ones you reviewed, I liked the Mink the most.
Great reviews my friend! Also thanks for the nice long list of links. Time to shi! or get off the pot for me, lol, I think Muskrat it is. I liked how you showed the full grip while sheathed, and didn't make such a big deal about adding changing straps/clips. I seriously don't have the $ for a T-Kell, this will do. God bless and Happy Thanksgiving.
I believe the Kizer Smolt in 154 CM was an Amazon exclusive. That’s where I bought mine. I haven’t seen it anywhere else. But the 3V version is still plentiful. I like the look of the blade on the Tak Knife Marlin. But the handle looks a little skinny. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts when you do a video on it.
I think it was an exclusive. Ive heard they'll be back. And Militaw is coming too. I'll have the Marlin video coming soon. It is definitely cool, has an old school aesthetic to it
I’ve been looking at the Asher Fixie for like 6 months now. That kydex sheath won’t work for me. I scout carry up front on my waist band with a single clip. Every fix blade I carry is in a pancake sheath, single clip with two mounting points, so the clip doesn’t rotate. I have yet to find a work around.
You just need yourself a good set of pull the dot scout straps. I have 3 Asher's. 2 I carry just like that, 1 of them has those scout straps. They work great 👍🏻 amzn.to/48l8sln
Alright, first off I didn't know that Kizer Deckhand was available in the serape scales. Love it. I've already been wanting that one, but now with those bright scales. Second, where did you get the scout straps that are on the Asher knife. I'm digging those. Thanks bud.
Surprised to see nothing from Esee on here. They have some great edc fixies. I've had the Izula-II for a couple years now and have beat the 💩 out of it, and it keeps going. Also, lifetime warranty is ver nice.
its really a new concept. actual edc fixed blades, you can find some good affordable/cheap edc fixies same with big choppers. id say they are starting to really mix around for both. what price point are you in? and what are you looking to do with it? make a new comment on this vid - if you have any questions, i may not see this one again
I guess I’m an odd man out but I don’t buy anything made in china. I mean, I have a few when I didn’t know what the brands were but I don’t have the best luck with most products coming from there. Also, I question the steel that supposedly is used but I guess that can be said from anywhere
For the most part these major companies are legit in their steels. There's people out there testing this stuff for us to make sure it's right. I don't mind buying a Chinese knife or product as a collector, if I limited myself to even everything but Chinese I'd be missing out on all kinds of awesome folders. Reate, Ketuo/Rike, Kubey, Quiet Carry are just some of the amazing companies. Insane precision for a better price than the USA can do it right now. Id love it if America was flooded with knife companies in all price ranges but sadly it's limited
Thanks for the reviews & I'm tellin you - SQUARE & Diamond shaped thumb studs is a HOMERUN as long as they are on a GOOD knife Not the Crazy weird studs but just SIMPLE Square or Diamond studs (think same size & dimension & materials just different shape) SOMEONE PLEASE make em ! Hey @Gball find someone to create regular (replacement) square studs or diamond shape & do a video with em on a Raccoon & you will sell a MILLION & I dont even want a Cut (Just send me a few pairs)
hell yeah im loooking for a good fixblade since new york is aloud to carry a 4 inch blade fix blade but you cant carry to 2 inch bladed knife that opens up lol because that make since man i hate new york

That's awesome 😎 a great list of knives and gear. Looking for something new?
@@GBall_Vision just ordered a cold steel SRK waiting for delivery. But I have 100s of knives currently.
@@jamesgilman1123 srk is on my list long list 😂 got to love knives I at one point wanted them all 😂
The Mink is my go-to these days. I had been carrying an Ali-Express knife that someone pointed out was heavily inspired by the Mink, so I had to get the real thing and love it
Agreed 💯 mink is 🔥
I have and like how wide the handle is on the Holtzman Gorilla Neck Knife but am really liking my Swiss Tech Leicht. 👍🍻
Holtzmans D2 has been tested and it's good stuff too 😃
@GBall_Vision Seems to be okay. I dremelled a design I found here in YT into the spine and it came out decent for my first time. 👍🍻
My ideal EDC is a max of 7" preferably under 6" with taco sheath carried appendix style on loops. I like the pancake style with an Ulticlip Slim 3.3 for hip pocket carry. GrizzleBearLeatherCrafting designed a leather hip pocket sheath for the same style that just slips in and the rough leather on the back keeps it in the pocket.
I've seen some of them leather slips. There's a few options I've seen lately I really like. EDC fixies are going to make a splash
My budget doesnt have any room in it right now but I Love that Deckhand
That's a great choice
Still love my Smolt. I have the same one as you do. Love that combo
Awesome 😎😎😎 thanks brother

Great choices. I have videos on a few of them. I'm working to get more
Kizer Brat strong side and a Spyderco Cat off hand. Great video man. 👍

I think they was an Amazon exclusive. They sold out but will be back i believe
Man those "more newer" offgrids look dope
@@mikereese15 I wish they would do a pocket able fixed blade Caiman
Great options. I want the Deckhand in the Serape finish. I love the Kizer Serape series of knives.
Awesome 😎😎 thanks brother
insane list of knives
I’d love to see Kizer make a premium version of that deckhand. At least a 3 or 4V model.
That would be awesome. Id love to see companies start using more cruwear
@@GBall_Vision me too
Been carrying my CJRB Pyrite Light every day since I got it for my birthday, it's amazing.
Awesome 😎😎 great knife
@@PalmettoStateSirens when was your birthday? I picked up a Pyrite Bowie Rose Gold for mine!
@@blazintahoess September 21st, the rose gold pyrite is sick af I gotta get one
Whats cryo D2? Like its out in cryo sleep like Wesley Snipes in Demolition man?
It's his mom in back to the cooter part 2
Quick answer from what I understand: they freeze the steel down to like -300 degrees or something that supposedly helps improve the grain and wear resistance of the steel
@@brandongoede5907 the cryo process is supposed to do wonders for D2. If everything is done properly D2 can be solid af
@@brandongoede5907 awesome. Thanks, 👍

A slightly longer video. I like it. Good video. 🤜💥🤛
More to come!
my favorite EDC fixed blade is my white river knives backpacker pro. It's on the more expensive side but it's s35vn great knife!
Very nice brother. I have a few on my list 😂 white river bark river Bradford and many more. Thanks brother
TJ Schwartz overland sport is my EDC and has and will be for a very long time. It's freaking awsome
Very nice brother 🤜🏻💥💯
I’m wanting to get my first fixed blade and I’ve been torn between the Smolt or the Muskrat. But I might take the muskrat after this video.

I have the Mink, Riuke and both of those Ashers. love all of them, the Ashers more than the rest though. I will be getting some of the Kizers.
The Kizers are crushing it. Asher is my top spot too. Great designs
I want me a Smolt. I want the black and ultim one they showed on their stream a while back. I’m not usually into peepee plastic, but with something blacked out it looks cool.
That one did look cool. They are doing a lot with the smolt. We'll see the militaw soon

Dude, I've been rocking this little Omesio model XYY with a homemade scout strap. Like, $30. It's a little beast!
I will have to check it out
Where did you get the scout straps for the Asher? I think I like that one best and will pick one up to try.
Right here brother they are USA made too - black/coyote

Yeah buddy! Your welcome to comment on every comment 😂 thanks brother I appreciate it
Check out the Kizer Harpoon or the Kubey Golf KU230
Noted 🔥
why are good quality smaller EDC fixed blades more expensive than 8-10 inch camp knives? less sales/companies making them?
its really a new concept. actual edc fixed blades, you can find some good affordable/cheap edc fixies same with big choppers. id say they are starting to really mix around for both. what price point are you in? and what are you looking to do with it? make a new comment on this vid - if you have any questions, i may not see this one again
I just receive the Izula. But it is a bit to big for that ... ^^
For an EDC? You just need scout straps or a new clip. It'll go in the pocket well. I have videos on it. Check out some other videos
My fave is the ridiculously expensive Amtac Northman. Right in the pocket. Just ignore the price.
I'll have to check it out 😂
Great video man thx
No problem 👍 thank you for the support 😎

Lots of great options. What price range?
