I like this Amazon knife of the month series.
Thanks, it’s a series I use to do a long time ago on the channel and back then not many people seemed interested so I stopped it. I figured I would give it another try and this time way more people seem to enjoy it so I will try to keep it going
Yup. Liking it
Yes. Amazon knife of the month is awesome. Keep up the good work man!
Me too.! I do buy a few knives on Amazon. I have several small fixed blades very handy on neck or horizontal belt.i use them when I don't want to use my premium folders .! Passed your tuff test with ease. Like D 2 .lot of knife for $30 !! .I'll take one .best on belt ,horizontal. 🤪
This ìs an awesome knife I have purchased two knive from holtman n have been impressed by both. .. this one an the baby tracker. So nice
That knife is still listed at $30 bucks.. Thanks for the review.. Gotta get myself one for the EDC pack.
I've been desperately trying to find a d2, small EDC fixed blade that wasn't fake or dull out of the box. I'm in rough times right now so $ is tight (med bills are killer). You are one of the few YT hosts I trust. I am going to pick one up as soon as I'm able. Thank you so very much for the heads up on this knife.
Oh n since you don't like that diamond sharpener, cut a piece of leather the same size., attach it to the top of the diamond sharpener so the leather covers the rough sharpener n it will also work as a small strop.
Love your channel, respect your Honesty n integrity. Peace n comfort Friend.
Man , you are one person I would never loan a knife to !
I just received mine yesterday and OMG what a wonderful knife.
I’ve had this knife for a while and it’s been holding up great
I like everything about that little fixed blade except the D2. Thanks for the look, Nick! Stay well down there.
Just got mine yesterday and I love it. Thanks for the review. Glad it was a good one. Love the series. Keep it going.
Loving the Amazon picks, keep it up
Thanks for the review Stassa.
I’m enjoying all the knife therapy.
I put a uni-clip on mine and I edc it every day love this little fixed blade
Love a good quality fixed blade knife
I really like mine. Did a very dark acid etch because I'm pretty particular about blade blinking on my knives, but it actually took the looks to the next level. It looks much less like a budget production knife now . Highly recommend it.
I have one also I've owned it for about 2 months so far i like it. I wish I could see what yours looks like after the acid etch. By any chance do you have a video showing it before and after?
Iam really gonna think about that, did you use mustard method or something else
??
Yes I mostly stick with black finish blades on all my quote survival knives
Excellent review, I like your style, will start following up more on your reviews.
Thank you for actually testing it and not just another table top review. I like the idea of the Amazon knife of the month. New sub..
I test every knife that I review and I try to record all of it when possible, testing is the only way for me to really get a good feel for the knives and to form a opinion for the review. I’m really glad you like the content and I am really happy to have you. I just did my next picks for Amazon knife of the Month so if you haven’t seen it and or untreated check it out 👍🏻🍻🍻
Looks like a winner !
I just got one of these for Christmas I love it very nice 30 dollar knife
Yes this is the one I mentioned. Yesterday on you neck knife edition.
Nice!
Great vid. I bought mine for the sole purpose of EDC. The weight is tolerable. I haven't found a belt clip for this knife yet but m still looking. Thanks again for the vid
Good review, subbed and liked……also just ordered this knife because of your review…..thanks….
Another awesome video thank you I have the same schf57 knife And I can't stand it it won't hold an edge I don't like the hollow grind or the thin handle but I do like the size of the knife After I saw you Do your torture test and still cut paper I instantly ordered this knife I'm at the point now where I'm afraid to not watch your videos because I might miss out on something I need to have
I'm fairly impressed with Holtzman gorilla knifes... I recently purchased a neck knife the smaller version that they have in D2 Steel... awesome value for the money💯... thinking about saving up a few extra bucks and getting one of their bushcrafting type of knife that around 4-5 in... but this little guy that you have here seems a little bigger than the one I got plus it has grips where's the one I got doesn't.. anyways moral the story I'll definitely be back to buy another work knife and bushcrafting knife for sure🔪😁👍
I got one these, great knife, but mine came with a lopsided blade grind,but easy fix ,after that great blade, I've really come to appreciate d2 steel
Dang that's a hell of a worker
After having this for about a year, I have decided that they put a lot of thought into this knife. The full contoured handle is super comfortable for extended use, and it seems like they ran the D2 a bit softer for toughness and field sharpening, but it still takes and holds an edge very well. The primary is actually a very shallow hollow grind; almost indistinguishable from a flat grind. I like that they kept the stock reasonably thin, but its thicker at the edge, so I have no concerns about using a baton to split wood with it. I think this is an excellent more budget friendly answer to the Izula. The only survival neck knife I prefer is the Joker Avispa (not Esse) made in Spain. It is an incredible knife, and will go toe to toe with a Bark River or LT Wright. If you don't know of it and youre looking for a ultra compact survival knife that doubles as an EDC, you gotta check it out. Its pretty much awesome at anything a smaller knife can do.
I’ll check it out thanks for the recommendation 👌🏻
I ordered one and it was rolled on the edge. Amazon replaced it and I wore it for a camping trip. I used it maybe 10 times cutting food and cleaning fish and when I got home it was rolled over again. It’s from the sheath I believe. I think the blade hits the diamond stone.
Oh damn thanks for letting me know that. I guess I got lucky then however when I first looked at that stupid diamond plate I thought to myself that’s a good way to wreck an edge. I just went try to force mine into the plate and the only way I could get it to hit it was to intentionally put the knife in crooked. I did notice that the bottom portion of the plate on mine is pulled out away from the sheath so possibly that could be why it’s not contacting it but I’ll definitely let y’all know if I start to run into the same issue or not 👌🏻
Great video. Intro reminds me a bit of Nick Shabazz, which I say as a compliment. I like how you take it a step further with actually testing the knife. I’ve been interested in this knife for a while and your video helped me make my decision. Thanks,
Oh ok I just didn’t understand what you ment. Well I’m glad to have you and I appreciate your support 👍🏻🍻🍻
Cool series. Could you do one on emerging makers?
Oh, it's a direct rip of a 2006 David Mosier neck recurve.
Great looking little fixed blade. I think they might have messed up the size dimensions. The total size they have is 7 1/8" and with a 2 7/8" blade and a 3 1/8" handle, that equals 6". Also, the ESEE Izula is 6 7/8" total length and it was quite a bit bigger in the video. Not that really changes anything. It was just something I had thought about. It is really awesome the way it did in the tests and only costing $30. Great video once again Stassa! Have a great day.
You mean the IZULA-II, but anyway, the Amazon questions & answers say 6 1/8".
Wow not a fixed blade guy but this 👌looks good 👌
Wow that is what a neck knife?
my neck knife ...I have others by them that I really enjoy it's just hard to leave my bushcraft black home
i feel it man cuz when u leave it u might end up needing it lol
My brother has this knife. I'm impressed. Are there different sheaths for it?
Does it fit the IZULA / IZULA-II sheath?
I wish it was a taco style sheath. I'd want to pocket carry it with an UltiClip.
Still would rather an izula; not a huge fan of stout grinds.
Thumbs down cause you said so. Lol. First one. You been killing it lately on reviews! Keep up the great work
A narrow strip of black duct tape over it and you won't have to worry about the diamond strip anymore
Does anyone appendix carry this??
MADE IN CHINA!
A knife made by $¢amazon? No thanks I'll pass. And I'll continue to boycott them.
