Which camp do you fall in? Fixed blades for EDC, or strictly folders? Let us know!
Both serve a purpose...I prefer folder for dominant hand dexterity and small fixed for non dominant hand use....either appendix or scout carry. Love my Bradford guardian 3 in M390.
@@illinoisbigboy8904 The Bradford Guardian 3 is a really cool knife. I’ve been looking at them myself, and in M390 you can’t go wrong. What an excellent EDC fixed! Thanks for watching!!
Both I love my rmj sparrow in nitro v it’s great ltwk small northern hunter cold steel drop forge boot, push dagger,wasp to name a few
One of each everyday!
I have a M tech, Fixed blade full tang 4.5” blade total length 9” MX-8136BK I hear it’s discontinued what’s your opinion on this knife I’ll love to hear it. I love the knife so far it’s my first knife and it completes my load out I now have the main 3 pistol, rifle, knife.
Converted to fixed strictly as a tool carry. You guys confirmed this decision. Thank you.
I carry both a fixed blade (neck knife) and a folder. I use my fixed blade for most things because it is so handy around my neck, it is always right there.
I carry an esee izula 2 and an esee 4 depending and then a variety of folders. I love fixed blades I love folders though too. Just like I love AKs and ARs
Those ESEE blades get razor sharp! We’re a lover of both worlds here. Folders & Fixed. Thanks for watching!
Luckily you do not live in 🇬🇧 NO LOCK KNIVES OR ANY BLADE even if no 'felonies' and IF CRIMINAL record They'll take garden tools out your house if no violent offences cos they can.
I always carry a larger knife, a slip joint, and a multitool. My favorites are a buck 110, stockman (or razorblade), and a super tool 300
I enjoyed that quite a bit-- in the market for a small-fixed blade myself so this was suddenly relavant.
You also gave me some ideas of what I like and don't like (might have to build my own!)
Glad I live in an area where folks carry full size fixed blades and pistols openly and I don't have to worry about how sensitive the public is.
FACTS. Same here!
Open carry of weapons is for clowns bro. The more sensitive they are the bigger the knife/gun.
@petemitchell6788 it depends. In populated areas it's cringey. The further out in the boonies you go, the more acceptable/common it is.
So glad I stumbled across your channel! This is a great video! I love the LT Wright Frontier Trapper… I edc it in my front pocket all the time with the leather sheath..: they will custom a kydex sheath too….
Nice!!! We’re glad you found it as well. The Frontier Trapper is such a great blade. Highly underrated.
Fixed Blades:
1. Rahven Elastic Ceramic Blade (Switzerland) with custom leather sheath. Cuts forever without dulling blade. Very sharp.
2. Tops Mini Scandi. Great size.
3. Izula II. Tough knife.
4. CRKT SPEW. It works. Acute tip Wharncliffe.
5. Custom Damascus Drop-Point with Micarta sheath and olive wood handle.
6. Esee 6. Big and beautiful. Piggyback Tops 2.5. SHTF EDC.
That’s one heck of a list! Thanks for watching, and for your input Scott!
I love to EDC both a fixed blade and a folding knife. So far I've been carrying the tops poker a Benchmade 535-3 and Leatherman wave+ and personally I think this is all I need (as I say that I'm waiting on the tops hornero to show up lol) liking the content so I subbed to ya channel
That’s a really solid lineup! I’m a huge fan of Leatherman multitools. As knife fans, we always tend to carry a little more than we actually need I think. 😅
We certainly appreciate the sub, and thanks for watching!
I EDC a CRKT SPEW or Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake designed by Mike Emler. I'm new to the knife & EDC community so I am still learning. I bought a Kershaw Hotwire for $12 because I love the sheepsfoot, reverse tanto & Wharncliffe blades. It's been a great knife. I just bought the CRKT Raikiri Field Strip on sale for $32. I wanted a Field Strip knife but couldn't justify their prices for inferior materials.
I'm hooked. Definitely going to be getting more high end knives in time. So many choices & great designs. Loving the Bradford Guardian 3 Sheepsfoot & Wharncliffe blades.
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 edc an amsler hurricane razor and love it. The pocket clip is great for pocket carry and the slim profile makes it my most comfortable neck knife.
Oh man! That’s a seriously cool blade. I can see why you’d EDC it. It definitely wouldn’t take up much pocket space. Thanks for watching!!
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.
110%!! There’s no replacing a fixed blade. It’s certainly an invaluable tool in the right situation. A folder is more convenient, but when it’s time for hard use or a potentially sketchy situation. A fixed blade is where it’s at.
Where I live a survival or tactical fixed blade is edc
Something like a white river M1 caper or exodus 3 fit in the pocket with a utiliclip works pretty well
My "stepping out" knife is a TOPS Little Bro.
It is a little thick for an EDC utility knife. I am trying to find something a little thinner for daily use.
Definitely adding a fixed blade to the EDC rotation. love the video.
Awesome! There are a lot of good ones out there. Thanks for watching!
Hi guys i really enjoying the conversation. I happen to EDC an Izula 2 fixed blade and my Spyderco Manix. New Subscriber
Thanks for the sub, and the watch! The ESEE Izula 2 is really popular it seems. A lot of people have mentioned carrying them as their EDC.
I carry an Izula, an EsKabar, and a Cold Steel Safe Maker. All great EDC's for different uses.
Good video guys, options are near unlimited. I carry a Bradford Guardian horizontally on the belt. Works for me.
Great option! Those Bradford’s are highly popular right now. Thanks for watching!
As a folder guy, I agree with your general philosophy concerning EDC options. Living in SoCal creates a host of legal issues but enjoy all knives and have a few Fred Perrin
beautifully crafted small fixed blades in my collection. Your expertise is appreciated by this west coast guy.
I've just started rotating between carrying 3 fixed blades to see which I like best:
1- Esee 3, scout carry (kydex sheath with belt loops)
2- Esee Izula II, pocket (with the clip/sheath it comes with)
3- Ka-Bar Wrench Knife, pocket (with an Ulticlip)
I think my favorite has been the Esee 3 so far.
I LOVE my ESEE 3. It's just a perfect size and gets SO scary sharp! All are great options though. I'm glad you're giving fixed blades a try in your EDC. Well worth it in our humble opinions! Thanks for watching!
That Celtic knife from Emerson is awesome! I love it! I need one.
I edc a serrated Mora...i do some mods and my own sheats. Live 30 min from The factory, used them all my life, tougher than they look, and cheap😎 Nice video👍
Thanks for watching! Mora is a great company and knife!
Hey bro. I’m an edc fixed blade guy for a while now. I have an Izula in S35vn that I love. My favorite at the moment is Rainier knives Fastpak! It’s the EDC in my collection at the moment. I have a neck knife a BHK frontier trapper - a grail knife but it would hurt me to dull it 🙃
I daily carry a Spyderco Dragonfly 2, an ESEE Izula, and a Case Barlow slipjoint. The Dfly is my all-purpose knife for most tasks. The Barlow is for use around people that might get spooked that I carry knives. The Izula is for hard use that would damage or break the other two.
You sound like us!! All of those are excellent knives. We’re huge proponents of carrying a traditional for mixed company, and you can’t go wrong with Case! Thanks for watching!!
I swap between my Brisa Necker, Tops Ute #2, and Boker Prymate Pro & Bark Beetle. All awesome Fixed EDCs!!
Esee Izula 440C in front pocket carry with pocket clip attachment
Kizer Crocotool neck carry
I am an Okie, Love living the the free land of Oklahoma. I carry my Sig P365, Leatherman Surge (with ratchet, bit set, and pen) and an Umnumzaan in the pocket plus iPhone. Seems to hit all my needs. Don’t have the hip space or pocket space for anything else.
The big hole on the izula sheath is not for neck carry it's for Carabiner clip or cord attached to belt for one-hand out-of-pocket deployment
I carry a Bark River UL Bushcraft. Very cool and very useful.
Anything from Bark River is amazing!
I pretty much have switched to only carrying a edc fixed blade when not at formal events. Check out the white river m1 caper probably one of them best ones I have used or seen. I appendix carry it.
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.
We really appreciate the input Matthew and thanks for the sub! You make some great points. I think you’d really dig the Emerson Sgain Dubh. It does have a leather sheath, but it’s made really well and seems like it would fit your preferred size.
I carry the bradford 3.5. Sounds like it fits your criteria. It's been great for me
@@InspiredCraftsmanAmazing knife,
no question.. I love the size, but I really prefer the look of the 3. The index groove on the 3 really balances to whole thing out to my eye. My perfect Bradford would be the 3 scaled up to the size of the 3.5. That said, I'm gonna get one or the other one day soon. Which handle material would you go with if you were me?
@@matthewadler1329 I have the wood patterned micarta and love it. I've had a few knives with g10 and prefer the grippiness of the micarta. I started out with the guardian 3 and nicked my finger a few times and the grip was smaller than I wanted. The blade on the 3 is the exact same length as the 3.5. The 3.5 grip fit my hand better. Best of luck finding what fits you best.
T.Kell Nightstalker is my go to fixed blade or nightshade.
Bark River Essential is my go to small fixed blade for days when I don't need a larger fixed blade
The Brisa Necker is awesome especially at about $65 and then don't forget about Bradford with the Guardian, a high quality lifetime knife. The Brisa being kind of a budget Bradford. Similar shape and carry but in Sandvik steel instead of m390. I swap between the two at work (remodeling contractor) and love both. I've found a little fixed blade definitely comes in handy considering my line of work. Oh, also the BattleHorse Pioneer.
Brisa necker is amazing and doesn't get much press.
I’m a Brisa Necker fan too! The Tops Ute #2 is a little tougher than the Necker - worth checking out.
Both. For a long time i carried one of the fixed blade damascus knived that I made. It is a smallish drop point, the blade is slightly over 3 1/2 inches, and it's overal length is about 7 1/4 inches. 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. I have just always carried some kind of knife.
That’s kinda how we carry. Multiple knives for different purposes. Always have a lot of respect for people who forge their own blades. I think the fixed blade mindset for EDC has a lot to do with where you’re from. Thanks for watching!!
I like that lt wright one!
I nearly exclusively edc a fixed blade- my favorite is the bastinelli Silence Slim, or anything from Halfbreed blades- but I also carry a cold steel counter tac regular.
I belt carry a small fixed blade daily and a neck knife. I live in the city of Chicago and use the knife for everything from boxes to cutting food.
I tried before to carry a fixed blade, an LT Wright Patriot, and it didn’t work out. It was too small for me to be comfortable to use. 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.
Great choice! Definitely can understand your struggle with carrying a small fixed blade. It’s not necessarily for everyone.
Great video! What is the knife you talk about at 18:51? I couldn't hear what you said exactly. Would love to get one of those.
Why is the LT right trapper so damn hard to find I am going crazy trying to find one I have all the money I need I just can't find one if anyone knows where to get one please let me know
Only use small fixed blades there super handy. Own 2 of those LT Wright frontier trapper’s great little knife but a little to stubby for food prep. My preferred knife shape is a more kephart blade shape. Current favorite knife is the Cudeman Sanabria 2 great little knife easy to sharpen and awesome at food prep.
Yeah, we love using fixed blades when we can. Those kephart blade shapes are really popular in the bushcraft community. I can see why. They seem really multipurpose. Thanks for watching!
First time viewer. Subscribed.
what Lt wright knife is that?
I carry a fixed blade for work every day to process produce. So it 's almost always on me as a tool of the trade. But I need from 3.5 to 5 inches at the very least. But I love my folders too or to be more incognito for urban carry.
Good point! Everyone’s day-to-day is different. There’s a time and place for an EDC Fixed Blade and some people just happen to need one more often. Thanks for watching!
Nice review.
I would highly suggest looking into the giantmouse gmf1 for a small fixed blade. Pvd version is the best looking imo.
I'm deciding between the gmf1 or the LT Wright Patriot. Leaning towards the former.
Time to replace my 9 year old BK14. Lol
@@hardhittaa Gmf1 is great. I wasn't into fixed blades for edc but it changed my mind. Have 2 gmf1 now. Had 3.
That Browning drop point & Russian cleaver are sweet knives!
Where can we buy these knife at?
Lionsteel m1 or M3 EDC all day or Azul
Cross carry a small patch knife to compliment my pocket knife & .357.
I am definitely a proponent of a fixed blade and a folder for EDC. The biggest fixed blade that I carry for EDC is either a White River Knives FC3.5 Pro or my RMJ Unmei. Generally I carry my Bradford Guardian 3 with a Spyderco PM2 or Manix 2.
White river knives are so nice. I edc the white river M1 caper and their exodus 4. Superb quality products that I can’t recommend enough
Recently got into carrying fixed blades at work, I also like to have my pm2 with me for finer detailed work.
Big fan of white river I’m saving up for the m1 now
@@kakashi1234777 I carry the esee izula 2, and I have no complaints. I like the m1 too, but for what I use my fixed blade for I prefer 1095 steel and the warranty and price of the esee
@@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 EDC a Kershaw folder for common tasks and a KaBar TDI or Esee Izula concealed strictly for defensive purposes. The fixed blade doesn’t get used for any task, remains sharp with the one purpose in mind. I simply don’t have the dexterity to deploy a folding knife quickly for defensive and weapon retention purposes. A fixed blade carried weak side front fixes that.
Our thoughts exactly!!
Y’all need to check out White River… great edc fixed blade
Hello.. great Video… I didn’t see the LT wright knife on their website… where can I find it..
Thanks
This exact one is out of stock on DLT Trading. It’s called the LT Wright Frontier Trapper and they have some other options on there currently.
See I live in a place where all blades any size is legal so I say screw it and carry my kabar usmc 12 inch combat knife because in the Deep South we all do it why? Because why not.
Now I am looking for a smaller knife for when I go see family where it is frowned upon for anything above 7 inches overall and specifically looking for a cross draw 7-9 knife any ideas?
Hahahaha!! Tennesseans here, so we live that any knife life too! Depends on the type of knife you’re looking for. Spartan Blades has a wide variety.
@@TheClipPoint thank you
I want a fixed blade that can out perform my folders. Most "edc" fixed blades can't touch my AD10 or my MSI. I want to see more options around the Esee 3 size.
I have neuropathy in my hands and have great difficulty in opening a folder, very slow to open due to my hands. That is why I’ve turned to carrying EDC a small to medium fixed blade. Also, I live in AZ where open carry is legal and most all the cowboys carry a working fixed blade so people don’t freak out, just like open carry firearms is quite normal and accepted here. Gotta love AZ!
The FASTPAK and Backpacker are the best!
links????
I edc a kabar tdi for self defence. I carry a pistol and the kabar goes on my "weak side" or whatever you would call it. Armatuscarry makes amazing sheaths. If you haven't tried one yet ,you need 2. I have 2 and 4 wallets from him. Lol. I love my kidex wallets 🤷🏻♂️
Oooh, I’ll check him out. The KaBar TDI is a great little tactical. A knife built for one purpose, and not so expensive that if it got lost you’d feel terrible. I always referred to it as my less dominant side, and that’s exactly where a tactical fixed should go. Thanks for the watch! 😁👍
Lionsteel M1 is my fav. Fixed only. I used to be folders but they got annyoying
Understandable. I think there’s a place for all of them to some extent. The Lionsteel M1 is solid. We appreciate you watching! 😎
What’s the folder you took out at 11:45?
Smith & Sons Cypress I believe
Personally I EDC a kabar. I use it often for general use stuff but a lot of times due to my job I am around crackheads and other nefarious folks oftentimes into the late nights and early morning in the worst parts of any town. I’ve only ever had to use it for defense once but I was glad I had a large knife on me. Make no mistake though, it’s really fricken big to carry everyday. I’m actively looking for a nice quality fixed blade 4-5 inches blade length. Just a bit more manageable.
An Izula kind of is a skinning/hiking/bushcraft/edc knife lol pretty hefty little blade. Doesn’t mean it should really be anyones go to for a lot of those tasks, but it can do any of it. Except for maybe being treated as an axe.
If you have the money I highly recommend the Jake Hoback Shepherd, it's in my edc rotation, comes with a pocket sheath.
Ohhh, nice!! We’ll check it out. Thanks for watching!
That’s a sweet fixed blade! I’m digging a lot of his designs beyond the shepherd. Thanks for the heads up!
@@TheClipPoint They make some amazing knives, and they come in a nice wooden box. Definitely "grail knife" territory so not for everyone.
@@Molonlabe07 They check all my boxes! I'll probably grab one.
I carry a sog karambit handle down to my thigh
I lean towards not buying knives I wouldn't wanna use hard. I've carried a BK14 for 9 years.
But here in Oklahoma you can carry a damn Bowie knife and no one looks twice.
I always go fixed blade for EDC.
Absolutely correct about stigma on fixed blades. I edc an izula iwb. I am very discreet. I live in Mississippi and in my town fixed blades are seen as overkill. But I find them more useful and more just more fun then a folder. I don’t believe in the trend of over $100 folding knives. I think it is ridiculous. I carry a OKC Rat and it does everything I need. I spend more money on fixed blades. I use mine for little things like fixing a picture frame or a little bushcraft thing.
Love the Izula! It’s a great little fixed blade. The OKC Rat is a great knife too. As far as the cost of knives it’s all about what you’re looking for in a knife. Most people won’t put the pressure on a knife that shows why one knife is better than another. It’s all personal preference! Thanks for watching, and for your comment! 😁
I carry a Gerber Ghoststrike fixed blade everyday!!! I carry it on my belt horizontally right by my belt buckle!!! Its so easy to access an put away & I all ready have enough stuff in my pockets!!!
Here because I'm looking for something a little different now!!!
Cool video! What's the folder you're showing us at 11:47 ?
That would be the Smith & Son’s Cypress Trapper.
@@TheClipPoint thanks a lot ! I've been looking for a modern traditional lately aside from an EDC fixed blade.
Shivworks clinch pick....
buck 110
I edc a mora eldris it’s perfect in a pocket!
Mora makes some excellent fixed blades!!
@@TheClipPoint I want to get a mora classic too but I would try to mod the sheath for scout carry
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.
Well that was easy. You say you do your best to buy American made. I subscribe. 🇺🇸
That we do! Pretty staunch on it. Appreciate the sub!
@@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.
I carry a fix blade everyday. Right now it's my white river knife fc4 fire craft knife. Sub 3 inch is useless in my opinion. Carry a folder if you choose under a 3.5 inch fix blade.
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.
Condor Mini Bushlore is another candidate.
For sure!! Thanks for watching!
EDCing my new Buck 102 pro in the SFBA. Know your local laws.
You love to see it!
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.
Tops Ute #2 fills the pocket survival knife category perfectly 😎🏴☠️
@@hcooC Pocket survival. What a joke.
@@joeldelavega768😂👍🏽
Mora mora mora
I own several Mora’s! Very underrated and inexpensive. Great knives and super slicey dicey!
All The way Man👍
I want a fixed blade but not gonna lie in the eyes of the public I can use a pocket knife without scaring ppl in public cutting things etc vs pulling a fixed blade.
Very true, and a very good point. That’s exactly why if a fixed blade is carried it’s a small one that’s only really used for select tasks, or for self defense.
@@TheClipPoint but I would preferebly carry a fixed if it was the right size.
Around 17:34 in the video, quite frankly, I don't care about others intimidated about my survival knife. The USA has becoming more pussified since 2008.
Randall model 18 attack, Reeve folder of any choice, feel sorry for you young guys that can't get a Randall.
Hahaha!! That’s a legitimate Rambo-esque blade! Randall knives are ALL BUSINESS!!
Bro please send me your bies and tries routine
People who turn up their nose at fixed blade carriers are just jealous cause they want to be able to carry one...... and wear a cowboy hat 🤠
Fixed blade scares people. I like my Edc hidden away in the pocket
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).
Please stop cowering to the mob. Man up and carry your fixed blade proudly. This is supposed to be land of the free. Our ancestors tamed the wilderness with their blades and its been part of our culture ever since. Until the woke mob took over and started brainwashing ppl into handing your freedoms over. Be American and be proud!
Most tactical for EDC fixed blades? No. Spartan Blades Enyo, Formido, and Phrike, Toor Knives Jank Shank, this list gets long.
This certainly isn’t the most tactical. Just an example of one. We haven’t done a best of video for any fixed blades as of yet. Soon though!
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.
Spartan blades alala
Steingrabber Shark
Great content. But they don’t show a single knife until the six minute thirty second mark! Too much talk at the beginning!!!!!
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 can drive a truck over a shaky bridge.
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.
That is a fact. There are lions and there are sheep.
