The Bradfords are awesome. For a budget Bradford, take a look at the Brisa 80 Bobtail, or the Brisa 70 necker. Between $60 and $80, Sandvik steel (which means sticky razor sharp edge). I got one (80 Bobtail) to try EDC fixed carry before I got my Bradford and now, though I swap back on forth, I've ended up carrying it a bit more than the Bradford. Great ergo, easy sharpening and half the price. As for your carry, I've got to get the Sea snake. I love the blade shape and that utility style shape would be perfect for my work. Great choice👍🏾. Oh, and welcome to the knife world. One tip, though we can't get the materials out of our head as enthusiasts, buy it for the design and blade geometry first, and then the materials/blade steel. In the knife world we make the mistake of overlooking great steels like 12C27 (14c's little brother), VG10, and AUS10A,or harshly judging the price on those steels when they're actually all awesome steels and were "super steels" just yesterday (figuratively). That said, you've already noticed the problem with CRKT. Prices not really matching the materials with the added gimmicks sold at a premium. Welcome again and have fun 😊

I own maybe two folders and like a dozen fixed blades. I will only ever carry a folder for EDC. Mostly because they're so much more convenient in a pocket, you can carry a longer blade, and it's more "socially acceptable" you could say. But when I'm in the woods it's fixed blades for me. I'll use my EDC for filleting fish and the such, but I'm a fixed blade guy at heart.

I do really like folders, but my daily carry always revolves around a compact fixed blade. For EDC, my criteria is as follows. Horizontal carry sheath option. Synthetic is my preference, but I do make exceptions. For length, I typically cut it off at the 7.5" mark. I haven't carried anything larger for edc, but I'm sure the right knife could make me stretch to 8". My fav size is 7". Weight wise, it depends on the sheath, but 8 oz w/o sheath is probably where I top out. Again...exceptions can be made. I do love neck knives, but its gotta be just the right size. Between 3.5" to maybe 6", and it must have great retention. Thanks for the video guys. You won my subscription.

I used it for what ever i needed to from skinning to gneral cutting. I wore it on my belt in the leather sheath i made for it. I had carried a Buck Folder (a Duke) the same way for many years and i didn't see much difference in the two. Some people did. I have also carried more concealable fixed blades from time to time, but i guess that would be considered EDC. Chance are I also carried a small pocket folder at the same time.

@@chimchu3232 I’m curious why you prefer 1095 in a small fixed blade. Their toughness is actually about the same according to the stats. Not like toughness really comes into play at this blade size, anyways. Maybe 1095 is more likely to roll than 35 but 35 has been pretty good for me with rolling instead of chipping. Not like I’m out there chopping hard wood with a 3 in blade, tho. Is 1095 a bit easier to sharpen? White rivers S35vn is pretty easy to sharpen though but I guess if you’re just using natural materials found out in the woods, like rocks or mud, then 1095 could be better for that. Love my pm2 in S35vn as well. It gets a lot of pocket time for sure

I had given up until recently when I began to cook and grill much more often. Rather than trying to find an “EDC” fixed blade I went for one that would be ideal for food prep. I landed on a Bark River JX6, and it is amazing. Surprisingly it carries in the pocket great too. It’s 7.5” OAL is probably at the high end of a pocketable size.

@@TheClipPoint my patience is increasingly wearing thin with YT knife reviewers who claim to be proud Americans, yet spend 80% of their time pitching Chinese knives. It's very refreshing to scroll down your video list and have a difficult time finding anything Chinese. And I appreciate your little bits of dad wisdom, like "you can't drive a huge truck on a shaky bridge". Very true, and I'm going to start saying that one.

@@ZPositive We try to give an honest review on whatever knife comes our way. However, the knives we purchase between ourselves is usually almost always American made. We have nothing against foreign made knives like Italian, German, Japanese, or even Taiwan. We just prefer to give our money to American companies to put food on American tables. Definitely try to avoid Chinese if we can help it. With that said, we’ll review anything honestly.

All fixed, all the time. Primary rotation: Kabar Mk1 (kydex) or OKC SP4 (leather), in scout, pommel at roughly 430-5 o'clock. Crkt Obake in pocket or tucked on a static line. Kabar skeletonized mini Becker (custom horizontal sheath) by the belt buckle (weak hand). Occasionally an S&W or Pakistani Damascus dagger in the boot.. Always a pair minimum. Two is one, one is none.

An EDC has the greatest possibility to become a survival knife and you can't rely on a folding knife for that in my opinion. Fixed blade, full tang, is the way to go.

First, Josh, no shout out about our conversation on the Emerson scales? 😉 😂 Second, I use my fixed as a back up on my belt or when I wear shorts in the summer and want to free up some pocket space. Like when I’m coaching my kids team and I don’t want a bunch of stuff in my pockets. I can have a fixed on my shorts elastic and no one even knows it’s there. Works great for me. I have Also done a small neck knife under the shirt in the same type of scenarios.

Hahahaha!!! Torched me. Honestly it was lost on me but I didn’t forget! 🤣 Nice, that’s a great point. A fixed has its role. I don’t always carry one, but when I do it’s in a pocket. Back when I was enlisted I carried on my person more so. I guess it really depends on your day to day.

Fixed blades genuinely are more utilitarian. If all you’re doing is opening boxes you can probably get away with a folder. A folder has a lot more cool factor and “acceptability” the way you’re putting it, but you shouldn’t give a f*** what anyone thinks about what you carry as long as it’s legal and practical for your lifestyle.

Not all the time, but I understand what you’re saying. It really depends on where you’re at and the type of fixed blade you’re carrying. If I’m going to be in mixed company I’ll carry a small one that fits down in my pocket. Any larger and it’s for a different purpose than EDC (unless I’m at a camp or hunting).

See, I disagree with the idea that you EDC knife isnt a "self defense knife". Sure, I dont carry a knife with the primary purpose being defense...I carry a pistol for that. *But* every knife I carry can absolutely be pressed into service if the need should arise. I dont carry a sub 3" blade when I'm out-an-about. A knife is a tool, and I go as close to "all purpose" as I can. My EDC folder is usually either the Ka-Bar hunter, or the Ontario RAT1. My EDC fixed blade is usually either a Buck 113, or previously an Old Timer Sharp Finger. Not big blades, but big enough to be all-purpose blades, including up-close and personal criminal repellent.

I have never worried about what someone else thinks. If someone is worried about my knives they need to get a life. This whole idea that certain knives are scary is just ridiculous. Don't live your life worrying about others opinions. That is what is destroying us now. You have a small group that wants to control everyone. They need safe places and words hurt them. I refuse to let some punk hiding in a basement decide what's good for me. Make you choice bet my way will make you happy.
