I laughed entirely too much at this video. Definitely seemed drunk but as a dad myself with so many things going on sometimes you just get caught in a whirlwind and look delirious and it’s happened to me and that’s what I see here. Loved it.
Not a dad but I have definitely been the same exact way when I used to smoke that “devil’s lettuce” (no shade whatsoever) but I can see some similarities that I also laughed a little too much at 😆
I like to imagine that Mike carefully changes diapers using a fixed-blade knife, just to perfect bushcraft skills.
Dude, your ramblings about your knives descrives how I feel with mine. Playing around with my knives brings satisfaction and justification why I got them.
Speaking of Montana Knife Company, I splurged on a Speedgoat when they had them in stock. I freaking love it. Light as a feather and sharp as a razor blade out the box. If you want a knife that creates some connection I highly recommend it.
Get home bags would be cool 😎
He's done those before and like most of us his kit rarely has changed. We find what works and stick to it
This video helped me get over trying to find the perfect one even if I didn’t have that emotional connection. I feel like I can look at knives and enjoy them because of that connection. Love your content as always. Ramble away it is why I am here.
The ESEE 3 in S35VN with 3D scales is my every day when working knife. At home I usually carry the Shaman or Para #2 with a gun and flashlight. These choices evolved over time. That said I love most of my fixed blades. On any given day I will be carrying one of my Becker’s, larger ESEE’s, smaller Benchmade, and even a Lions Steel T5.
being from Canada, there's not much in term of knife brand, but while road tripping in Nova Scotia I stopped at the Grohmann knife factory and grabbed myself their #3 ''jump knife'' model. The same knife they issued to the Canadian Air Force until recently. Man I love that knife!! Nothing fancy about the materials, simply a beautiful knife made with pride in my country.
Thank you for the knife review. It was very helpful! I enjoy watching the progress you're making on your home building. Hang in there. You're almost there.
Love your house videos. Those are legit some of your best videos, and I love the info about the power banks you’re using
This was a cool watch! It was long, but im glad that I was able to find the time to watch it. Thank you for taking the time to put it together!
I know it's not a fixed blade, but my favorite knife I have ever put in my hands is still my ZT0095, for this exact reason. Something about that knife makes me feel something! I love it in my hands, forehand or backhand, love the craftsmanship, everything. I wish I could find a fixed blade that could make me feel the same way. I'll try some of these and see if they fit my fix. Thanks man!
I’ve carried two Bradford Guardian 3.5s for five years as EDC knives, I’ve made kydex sheaths for them that I carry horizontal at 12 o’clock. The version with the M390 steel has been my favorite, the blade feels great even though it’s a little thick for food prep it’s been my go to and I love it, also had a third which was my first that I lost but liked it enough to buy the two I have now
Keep up the hard work. You’ll thank yourself later for knocking all that you’re doing now rather than when your son gets older. Means more family time camping! Best wishes bro!
This was really truly FUN. First time I've heard a youtuber say, "bedside knife"... like me.😂 Subscribed!
Spyderco unknown looks like the Proficient model, discontinued now, but msrp was $490
Great video--I love the knife content. You can lightly sand the carbon scales on the Spyderco Proficient to make the handle less slippery. Also, the Taichung factory is Spyderco's best manufacturing facility. Most of their higher end knives are produced there. The tolerances/finishes and overall quality are higher when produced there.
Man I really wish you would sell your custom knife sheaths because I love your holsters so much and I love carrying fixed blades
Been needing this video! On the market for a fixed blade for my new search and rescue job. So thanks for this! Also excited to see your get home bag!
Get home bags! Would be great to see a functional budget get home bag video! Thanks for the awesome content and hope you and the fam are all good and healthy! Gotten tons of inspiration from your videos from both the EDC and overland/weekenderlander videos.
I got into Winkler knives a couple years back, been trying to hunt down my favorite models ever since, i just love the looks and feel of a Winkler
I agree, the M4 has that appeal, I’m older and can tell you having “Played” with knives since the 70’s I think I know why, for me anyway. It reminds me of a 70’s knife, the blade shape and handle is similar to one I had back then. Simple and traditional. I too have made many purchases and was disappointed but hold onto the knives anyway. My favorite large fixed blade is a Survive knives G.S.O. 5 in 3V steel, the 5.1 in Magnacut a close second. But the M4 makes a great knife to hike with.
Praying for you brother. I don’t know all you got going on, but a baby and building home are enough to keep you busy. Hope these next couple months are easier on ya.
Great video, glad I am not the only one out there with feelings for knives
This is like watching Christopher Walken slam major fixed blades 🤣🤣🤣- fn luv it, such an honest review - mike u da man , honest, Def xan tell you use yo shiz - much appreciate your honest vids 💯
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Mike congratulations to you and Ashley again on Cooper!!
Moras weren't built to look at. They were built to work. And they do... at an unbeatable price.
Nice ramble man, loved it.
Your feelings are COMPLETELY understandable. Knives are the blend of engineering and art. Good design evokes feeling. That's why people are drawn to certain automobiles, guns or architecture. I share your feelings for the Lionsteel M4. Also, I have strong feelings for their M2M and L.T. Wright's GP Medium (for similar reasons).
Mike, all your videos are cool. I appreciate you and what you do. May God bless you and your loved ones.
Lionsteel has it down. I have a T5, a T7 and a B 30. They all feel great in the hand, fit and finish are beautiful. Out of all my (way, way too many) fixed blades those three are probably the only ones I would immediately replace if I lost them. I'm like you, never returned a blade even the ones that make me go "Meh"
Great video 👍
I completely agree with the pr4. I did however buy the tkc g10 green with red inserts handle, kydex sheath with leather dangler. I personally love the shape. It's mainly a bushcraft knife and that's pretty much what I use it for.
LOL! One of your funniest videos. Totally cracked up during your dissertations.
Canvas (no linen) Micarta handles for the win - I adore that material for handles. It's tough and gets gripper when it's wet..
yes! a knife video... Work can wait
Loved the hanging quality of the conversation!
I liked the ramble Mike 😀 You actually described very well something that I’ve felt a lot, but never articulated : How a knife makes you *feel*. I also have too many knives, I just find them incredibly interesting, which when you’re in the UK immediately brands you a “weirdo”. I’m also a fan of LionSteel, particularly the T5, because it’s without a doubt the most comfortable tool to use imaginable. The handle is just the perfect shape for me and the steel is great too. It’s just a little larger than the M4, which I don’t have so now I think I need one for comparison lol. Around my property I always have a Benchmade Bailout in my pocket for packages and light stuff. Of course, I can’t go out with that in the nanny state without a good reason, so I swap it out for a Swiss Army Knife or something similar, which is legal to carry. Good to see you back on CZcams and thanks for the ramble 👊🏼
Unfortunately Spyderco no longer makes the Proficient. However both the Proficient and the Bushcraft UK can still be found for sale on the knife forums.
This video is great! I added a few knives to my wishlist and took some off based on this video
My favorite survival knife is my Tops Fieldcraft. Maybe a little gimmicky but I find it extremely useful, and it's very well made.
Hell yeah brother if you got time to make the kindling then MAKE THAT KINDLING!
Good job. Nice knives.
You and I are the same when it comers to fixed blades. I have all the same favorites as you do, and I still love to get more. I can honestly say Bark River has some great older models as well.
Dope video!
Enjoy your vids as usual.
Appreciate what you do. You got a ton on your plate, but it will all be worth it once you see it finished.
Of the entire collection, I prefer the Lionsteel M4 to use in the camp kitchen, and added to my Original Puma Bowie 6376 for forest and hunting tasks. Both cover all the needs in the forest. Wonderful collection, congratulations!
Nice Collection, the M4 is a great choice. My next Knife is a Lionsteel too but I can't decide which one fits better as a Backup the H1 or H2 like them both, full flat grind is the better option for most needs I believe.
This was cool. Great collection
Another great video!
Best video yet 😂 my boy is struggling to keep his sanity
Planning to introduce my boys to camping and bushcraft skills this year, should be a blast. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts.
Ive been really wanting to try out the esse rb3 for camp duty. Glad to hear you dont hate it!
The Benchmade Bushcrafter is one of my favorites in my collection but didn't care for the sheeth. First of your videos I've watched but enjoyed it.
Love it, great rambling video. Esee 5 is a nice beefy knife to leave in a car or camp box. Thicc strong boi.
Really like that Bradford wharnie!! Great video!! 👍🏼
Enjoyed it, ramble on!
Keep it up....your awesome
I also keep a “truck lighter” in each vehicle (I only own trucks/suvs). As well as eating utensils and other items I deem necessary to always have “just in case”. Like a complete change of clothes ie., pants, under roos, socks, long sleeve shirt, and a complete thermal layer) this I never have to worry about changing out for season. You can where jeans in the summer, sleeves can be rolled up if need be. These items are “aside” from my “Go Bag”, and EDC. So they are ALWAYS there regardless. Like several emergency blankets (cause they a cheap and take no space) and an actual blanket. A blanket can yes keep you warm, but it can also shield/shade you from the sun. Critical items that be used “anytime” of the year, that may save my life or other lives. Items that regardless of the load out in my Go Bag or my EDC “I KNOW” are always in my vehicle which ever one I’m in I have available to me!
I haven’t been into edc’ing a fixed blade until I got the cold steel Pendleton hunter mini. Got a kydex sheath with an ulti clip for it and not it’s my daily carry over dozens of mid-high end folders.
7 minutes in....this is going to be a long video. 😆 🤣 I truly appreciate the brutal honesty! Great content!
I recently got in to fixed blades for daily carry. I bought a Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter and I am in love with it. I’d recommend you check them out. I know you have an axe, get a knife to match! I did!
I have a 60 second attention span lol but really enjoyed this video, great interesting content, your rambling less formal style is great, cheers
Great video. As far as rambling goes.....true knife people like educated knife rambling lol
I've been of a fixed blade knife kick lately that culminated in ordering a Schwarz Overland. Hoping it's going to be my go-to camp blade. Really looking forward to that. Got Talon's Tac Horse a while back and I'm loving it. Based on that love I also got a 3/16" Mini Workhorse and it's a bit small for my hands. I was surprised how different they ended up feeling since they look so similar on the site. That M4 is on my Amazon wish list right next to the ESEE-4 and RB3. Looks like a contender if I want another knife around that size and price.
Love my Benchmade folders. Just got the Benchmade cutlery set and love them. Maybe would be a good addition for your new house. Not cheap, but I'd rather have quality over quantity.
I EDC a fixed blade myself that can double as a survival knife. It's pretty cheap to be honest, it came with a pretty crappy plastic leg sheath that I don't use. It actually fits into an old nylon UST sheath I had but lost the knife for. It's got a 4-5" blade and made of basic stainless steel. Keeps an edge fairly well for what it is and it's easy to sharpen. I use a carabiner clip through the belt loop to hang it from my belt loops or anywhere I can clip it to. When I get into the woods, I switch it out for my camp knife on my belt and it gets set aside for things like food prep. I love my fixed blade knives, but I should get around to finding my pocket knives again. I can't remember where I ended up putting them.
Need to check out Bark River Knives and Work Tuff Gear. Cool video thanks for sharing..
The Dad switch has been thrown on this gentleman, knives, guns, GHB’s, BOB’s. Limited experience but very fun to listen to;)
Lol all those things were long before dadlife
Great video, Mike. Knives are a great ramble subject IMO. As for a video concept, fitting in with your house build videos, how about detailing your house build/construction EDC setup?
This is my favorite one youve ever done dude! I came for the knives and stayed for your humor and perspective. Check out some lt wright kn8ves specifically the genesis
Congratulations!!!!
"I probably seem drunk, but I'm not" lol
Thanks, i like the video. I will now buy an m4
I have a boker coye oscar mike that i love. Gives me that feeling. Might get a real coye oacar mike someday. I have a coue forerunner i love too but its a small 3 finger knife
First timer. Your interesting. Thanks.
I love all the vids. I too, have too many knives.
Man I love my Benchmade Bushcrafter..!!! I got a kydex sheath for mine from Armatuos carry.. you do that and it mite move it back to the top..!!!
I recommend Muela kodiak frome Spain! Great camping/ bushcraft knife
I missed the news. Congratulations on the little one!
the Becker BK-18 is one that makes me feel something. same handle as your BK16, but a taller blade. it seems best for food prep or combat, and is barely small/light enough to do some whittling. the micarta scales really make it comfortable. i think it would be way more popular if it was 2 inches shorter.
I recently got a Buck Vanguard and a Cold Steel Kobun, like you i rarely carry a fixed blade but im loving them both, the handle on the Kobun would probably be too thin for your liking, though it has a slight swell to it. You’d probably like the Vanguard , assuming you’re not already familiar with it though.
Mike the knife for you is a Bark River Bravo 1 or one of there bush
I like the size of the handle on the M4 perfect love thst sheath you made for it. A couple more knives tops knives but the blade are sometimes to thick. And Helle are great cutters
Great knife video. Gonna pick up an m4 based on your feedback.
Question: Do you have a checklist you used when looking for your property? We just started down that path.
"How a knife makes you feel" well said!
Tops BOB is my jam. You should look at Bark River knives. If you want to feel something they will do it. Adventuresworn knives have a great palm swell. Dig it.
Absolutely love the Benchmade Bushcrafter. Ever try out any Bark River knives? I've heard great things, but havent taken the plunge myself.
You should check out T.Kell Knives. He makes my favorite fixed blades.
Hinderer flashpoint is my favorite small fixed blade.
Hey Mike! Long time fan but never commented so who knows if you’ll see this lol anyway I would love to see an updated EDC video including diaper bag and updated dad-stuff. Have a good one and get some rest!
Try a bark river knife good steels too
Always enjoy when there's an upload. I enjoy knives a lot and just recently bought another one lol. You should check out Zero Tolerance (ZT) American made.
I used to be all about finding the perfect knife. I really just use a Mora Companion and a Mora Garberg in stainless steel now. Those Companions are such excellent value for the price, I love throwing them in my backpacks and my vehicles.
I don’t know which Mora you had there but it looked like it sucked. You gotta go with a companion. The shape of the handle is much better and has some rubber over molds. It’s really a nice blade for 15 bucks or so. I used to be skeptical but they feel great in the hand and I’ve seen people stab them into a tree and stand on the handle. They aren’t full tang so they shouldn’t be able to do that. As long as you get a stainless steel model it will serve you well. Put it in a bag and forget about it.
@@alaskabornheathen8902 I don't know how he got a Mora with carbon steel either, aren't 90% of them made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless? All mine are.
Watched whole vid was good change up, was fun vid mate. Done the new dad thing 3 times so fully relate. Looking at your style, fallknivens seem a good fit. Smaller knives are F1 series, S1 series one size up. Great knives.
Buck 104 campanion has been my go-to for a fixed blade for a now.
I have most of the knives mentioned and I also am looking for the “feel” of a knife. The one that did it for me is the White River Ursus. American made. One of those knives that I just can’t put down…
I sure enjoyed seeing all those fixed blades. I've been on a little fixie kick lately and your video was interesting.
And with babies....you're always tired.
Looking forward to get home bag video
I would love to hear your thoughts on the lionsteel t5. Can it be compared to the m5 and which one is better in your opinion.
For the get home bag what water filter do you use that you are ok with being in the car all 4 seasons
