That Grillos a gorgeous little knife, unfortunately like everything else we get screwed on the price here in Australia with some retailers selling these for up to $200 😑

It's nice to make a video about cheap knifes. We forget they are easier to use. You're not afraid to do what you have to do. And you are not afraid to loose them. ^^ Okay, they are not perfect. That is not some space steel. But it's not some showcases knifes.

I think heat treatment is far more important than being a steel snob.

Thanks, I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos so we can buy the best knives!

I just went through your store and bought the very last one you reviewed by Nieto I just emailed you about getting a small fixed blade and out this Video came. I have the Kizer Smolt in 3v and I’m happy with it so since I trust your reviews I ordered it come July 15-20. I’m still looking for a small fixed blade with Bohler m390 or another super steel. The Ankylo is a very sturdy folding knife. I’m glad you recommended it and I absolutely love that knife. It’s in one of my pockets daily and that Elmax steel is tough, reminds me of my reverse tux padre’ in Vanax steel is a very tough knife and I love it!!

I highly enjoyed your video. Probably the best review video I've watched. Honest opinions, well explained, and actually tested. Well done Sir. 👍👍

Thanks stassa...you're the best

I bought that Kubey chopper based on one of your earlier vids. I intended it to just be a garage beater but I've really taken a liking to it for the around the house chores. Not a fan of the sheath but the knife has been very good, especially for the price. Good for opening packages, breaking down cardboard and has been very good for cutting all the zip ties that those evil toy company bastages use to rivet every toy into the boxes.

More More More. Very good review. Thanks

I never get tired of this genre.

the entire recent Eafengrow fixed blade line EF130 to EF147 are awesome and have been tested by several knife channels.

Hey. Yet another awesome post! Very interesting and informative to be sure. I especially learn a lot as you discuss the various 'cut' profiles and specifically how that effects performance. ✨😺

Nieto knives are really awesome .I love them.

This was a great lil video lots of bangers!

Thank you for taking the time to test these knives and show them to us 🙏🏼

Super video, I love it! Thank you so much for such content! 😘🍭

Nick....you are the f-ing man! So much appreciate your content as always bro!!! I know you purchase the mass majority of the knives you showcase out of your own pocket. Which makes me appreciate you even more so! Have you dedicate an entire room of your home to house them or possibly a standalone shed? Approximately how many knives do you think you currently have?

The Loveless designed Schrade PRO HUNTER is my EDC, for the last twenty years. Around 50 bucks. the littel buggr has parted out several deer an elk and a bear, in addition to all manner of general ranch work.

Both The Nito knives look really good. The Spanish make great knives for a good price. I’ve been carrying a Joker slip joint for the last month or so and love it. Thanks 🎸🔪

Love those grillos, thank you for the video

Great review, very informative and good visuals.

That Kubey Aiden (cleaver) is a nice-looking little knife. I am a sucker for a cleaver shape.

Good to see some Holtzmans. I got a Bloodline I think it was called a year or two ago. Baisic camping bushcrafty fixed. Nothing spectacular in 1095 but I love 1095 for something Im gonna baton with a lot. Its been a hell of a knife. Always great to get something well made. Handle feels like it was molded for my hand. And the dude that owns the company is super super nice. But Ive thrown everything at that knife and it can take it. Like it more than my similar Esee. Even got the little Fireline? Forget the name on that too. Which I dont use a ton but have it on the strap of my pack. Just hadnt seen anything about these guys in a bit. Love your channel.

Nice to see a Spanish brand in this video 👌 I have the Yesca mini, probably i will get the Grillo soon. Nieto brings a god cuality knives for a budget prices, the sheds are also god but i make a kydex one for mine 😅 Best regards from Spain! 😜

I'm going to look at the camper one it looks handy

Just found this channel and this is a great first video. Been looking for something to compare to my mora and my anza . Some of the micro cuts between your words make the commentary sound a little rushed but other than that, amazing work.

Like the nieto knives

Thanks for Sharing

Great 👍 Thanks.

Good stuff, awesome lineup, wish there were more guys doin sub $100 lineups. Seems like everyone wants to talk about all the 100/200 plus linesup. Personally one of my favorites for edc over the past couple years has still been the "Le Duck" 😂 by outdoor knives. It's been a great little knife, hardly know you're even carrying it and actually came stupid sharp.

Nieto have some good offerings, I recommend looking at the terrano in the flat grind if you like full size Bushcraft/camp knives. It's really well done ✌️

I love aus 8 steel. Sharpens up like a razor in 2 seconds and holds it just fine.

Great video… I own a Cudeman Sanabria 2 and a Joker Erizo both spanish knives and really like them. Been thinking to get the Nieto Grillo as a paring knive, and also the Yesca mini because seems a nice small knive. Thanks for the video. Would you recommend the Yesca mini for a camp knife? Have you done some food prep with it? Regards

Good stuff

This video was almost like you read my mind. I usually don't care much for small knives, especially small fixed blades. My state has no restriction on blade length so when I carry a fixed blade 'in public' it is usually a Gerber Prodigy (,the model with no serrations) and no one in my area even bats an eye. I don't know the first thing about knife fighting but feel like a knife such as the Produgy (or an Ontario RAT 5 or TAK 1) are just better tools in case they need to see some harder use. I do sometimes carry my Spyderco Bow River if I want something a little 'less'. However, I am currently looking for a knife to fill a specific niche. I want something I can carry on my weak side in front, crossdraw that I could get to with either hand. I want it to be available in case I need something to help retain my firearm. Like I said, though, I know nothing about knife fighting - it woukd just be for 'get off me' purposes. Also, where I live is pretty low risk so hopefully it would never be needed for that purpose. For those reasons I don't want a super tactical blade like a Clinch Pick, etc. Instead, I want something more like a utility blade that wouldn't be out of place doing EDC stuff but would be available and capable just in case. I also wouldn't want to drop a lot of cash on what I consider to be an 'undersized' blade but in this case I do need a smaller blade so I could comfortably carry it crossdraw out of the way of getting to the other things I carry.. Personally, I like D2 and would prefer it to stainless. I also think the 'Sharpfinger' style is one of the most attractive blade designs. I actually considered just making a custom, crossdraw leather sheath for a Schrade Sharpfinger but with my 'table muscle' I think the thinner scales on the Shark might be better/more comfortable for carry. Then there is that Kwaiken - nothing 'tacticool' about the look but would also likely be a good choice - and at the prices I can get both! I like the look of the Tesca, too, especially as I am looking at this as more of a 'take it out and use it' knife' and like that it would be pretty easy to set any of them up for crossdraw with the factory sheaths. Thanks for the video!

SICK

Thanks for this! I am still trying to find a goldilocks fixed for daily carry.

I use a Neito chaman for hunting. Beautiful knives for the $. The bohler steel is ok and easy to steel up in the bush

For a fix blade EDC I love my esee candiru

That Nieto is pretty tempting.

My new favorite is Watchman 222. Its 14c28n in kydex it cost $35 amazing knife. My other 2 are the utica utk-n2 i payed $40 Last but not really coldsteel mini pendleton hunter aus10 was $38. Id put these 3 against any on this list.

Some great choices here! Thanks Nick. I would love a review of the Very Good Knife Co. Traditional Jr or one of their other small models. Thanks!

Great video and new subscriber, tell me about that tape you added to the first knife you talked about it was #10 I believe. Thanks

I have the kubey jl kwiaken also and love it

Nice video. Which kind of hockey tape do you use? I doesn’t look that grippy and thats what i search. I used griptape but its quite uncomfortable on the belly when you carry it iwb. Thanks in advance.

Kubey aiden kinda dope

Nice video

I like number 1&8

Wondering how the heist by kershaw stacks up

Great vid! What make are those gloves too? They look cool.

I liked the small drop point at #9 and the diamond sharpener on the side would be easily covered with a piece of duct tape.

Hey Stassa how do you like your Bark river PSK?

Try the kubey orthodox its awsome

The best mini Cudeman Sanabria 2

I need 1

joker avispa and erizo could be good little knife from Spain

How are the Kizer Smolt and the Cold Steel 3V Pendleton Mini Hunter not on this list? They are both well under $100 and both in 3V, which beats the crap out of all these budget steels.

These are compelling for people who are thinking about retro gaming and handhelds. But don't have any yet. Controller vs more devices?

👍👍

Nieto's knives = Toyota's cars

Herbert 440c

The BIG winner is the Bark River Bravo EDC Cpm3v. ALLLLLLL THEEEEEEE WAYYYYYY

Gimme an ESEE Izula any day.

Oh, BTW, I hates me some Kydex!!

What are your top 10 lock back knives?

How is there not a Morakniv or Hultafors on this list?

Can you do a video like this for more stainless blade material fixed blades?

"All the teams they signed are dogshit?" 💕😚

Hey. On the first two blades, you sounded like a loyal Mom trying to put her dysfunctional, loser Kid in a decent light. ✨😹

Mora Eldris ... small , light , good bulgy handle ... EDC

so small that you barely got a blade and you barely got a handle to hold onto that knife is useless junk
