This was THE best video I've seen this far on EDC fixed blades. Very informative and detailed. Thanks! :D

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.

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

I've got the great plainsman and the patriot. I've been impressed with LT Wright.

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".

Great video! I like that you mixed prices.

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.

Great video - thank you. Schrade SCHF57 is also a good option

Bradford also make a guardian 3 in magnacut now!! I love it!!

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.

I like the LT Wright Patriot for my everyday.

Amaxing knives!! From Brazil i want them ALL

if the handle seems small you can easily add a short paracord fob extension for the benchmade backpacker

I have a Bradford Guardian 3 Sheepsfoot and I love I got it for my birthday yesterday

Super selection and review. Thanks.

Two of my favorites is the Schrade SCHF66 and the SCHF57 Try them out

I have a Schrade SCHF16 - awesome knife!

Great video. I'd never heard of Bradford knives. That Guardian 3 has intrigued me. Thanks!

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.

great vid . I like those little fixed blades.

Great information. Thank you. Nice Seiko also.

Seems like I cannot find the soft loops on Amazon. Do you have a link or search term, please?

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.

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

A big two thumbs up, very informative.

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.

I am very fond of my Schrade Old Timer Sharpfinger. Very comfy in the hand and dirt cheap.

I love sheaths with belt clip. And they are hard to find anymore.

Hey great informative video, have you looked at that CIMA-1 as i'm interested to know about this knife?

I need to pick up one of those Guardian 3's. I keep putting it off.

Thanks for the video. Good info...

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 love my Hunt n Fisch. The smell of leather! Yum!

Dog the CRKT steel 18CR and brag on 440. I've had a lot luck with CRKT with very minimal issues.

learned a lot. thnx for the effort

Very good review! I'd like to know what's your opinion on the Spyderco Bow River and the Ka Bar TDI Pocket Strike.

Great video!

Excelente colección. Saludos desde España 🇪🇸✨

Where do you buy the belt clip you had on the Gerber Ghost strike? Thanks

What do you think of the Spartan Horkos. That is what I wear everyday.

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.

Great choices

ESEE 3!!!and the Esee Kabar collaboration the Eskabar...

Great review!

Tek-Lok works just fine with the Schrade sheath.

Very informative video... Thanks

Great review

Mind telling me what soft loops you use for the backpacker? Tried clicking on your link but its not available.

Great choices! Never hear of DPX knives anymore, wonder why?

Good review.

Why did you say the Gerber knife Has a Paul Bos heattreat? I Is he now working with Gerber also?

dude thanks that's a nice setup I definitely have to get one

Kudos on your vid, Next time try out DPX, + Tops blades You will love them

Very good video

I like the kizer task 2 myself

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.

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.

where did you get the soft loops?

Cool video thanks.

What color are the scales?

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

There are some very good knives at or under $50 .

Great Bid Bro!....What do u think about the CRKT Sting 3b?

The Cold Steel Kobun is the best fixed blade EDC

Where do you get the leather loops for horizontal carry? Please!!! I need some urgently!

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?!

Like Condors stuff ?

Would like to know where I can purchase one of these Knives please comment back thank you very much

Excellent video covering a wide range of EDC knives. Thanks for your good work on this.

I like all 3 👍🏻

An excellent video. Informative. Subscribed.

Best video!!! Gained a sub!

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.

This has been a fantastic n fair review, thank you. Btw, for the price of the Guardian, that crappy sheath is ridiculous.

Best fixed knife review! Thank you! Subscribed. The soft loops link is broken. Van anyone suggest which ones work the best?

Love the watch! :)

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.

Great show.but can test them for strength .Which one is the strongest.thx

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 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.

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.

Decent blade collection.

The Boker Coye (the last blade) weighs more than he anticipated; because he modified the sheath with 2 leather straps. js

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 couldn't tellnif you were saying 15$ of 50$ on the benchmark lol. Sometimes sounded like 15, sometimes sounded like 50.

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.

hey check out the TOPS BULL TROUT

White river knives best kept secret of the knife world

Hi, does anyone here carry a fixed blade everyday in Florida?? Just curious and to see if ever hassled, i have a bunch of pocket knives and just starting to get into fixed blades i just bought a gerber prodigy w/no serrations it is under 5", and that is for every once in awhile to open carry. I also have coming in is KUBEY Golf KU230 Fixed Blade Knife which is a 3" blade and i thought would be great for EDC, just interested in people in FL or other states too i guess on how they like wearing fixed blades, and if you have a fixed blade open carry on your belt and if you get pulled over for speeding or something, do you have to let the cop know?? I just want to carry these knives with out being hassled so i figured a 3" fixed blade open carry should be good and for open carry in FL there is no size limit, but i don't want to alarm the people around me.

GO with the Schrade !!! ✌️ 😔 2nd place the bench mark

Pretty

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.

choice tub

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?

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.

Take a look at the gil hibben sidewinder under $40.leather sheath. Impeccable workmanship. Just not a supersteel. But in a knife that short and thick it doesn't matter.

The Izula 1 stainless with G10 scales is a far superior alternative to the Izula 2. It's cheaper, prints less, and requires minimal maintenance. If you live in a humid coastal environment, you don't want to constantly worry about rust.

In reality, a 10 dollar knife will do everything on a daily basis that 150 dollar knife will do, cutting tap, string ,paper ,cleaning fingernails . But who doesn't like a good looking quality knife. I'm a quality man myself.
