    Great to see some fixed blade love!! Also happy to see BladeHQ getting back into it's video groove. This vid provides some great info with some some very realistic options offered up - something for everyone. FYI I use a number of my blades in the garden - RAT 1, Buck 110, Mora Companion and a couple of others - all really useful. I cut, slice, dig, scrape, etc no problem - just a little maintenance and they keep rocking. SRK is also a great option!! Sharp blades all.

    I learned the same lesson the hard way. Since then,I have always taught my students to keep their fingers away from the cutting edge of the knife sheath, regardless of leather or kydex. Even after cutting yourself you kept fingers on that side of the sheath when removing or replacing the knife in the sheath. Hold it by the spine side wrapped around the side but clear of the cutting side.

    Awesome show. I love fixed blades. I have 4 knives, but the 2 I use the most are my WINKLER CrusherBelt knife with rubber handles, and my TOOR and Scallywag Tactical collaboration knife called the MUTINY. It is cannon black, and CPM-154 steel that is seriously underrated. My favorite EDC, but my WINKLER is my favorite blade. The sheath is really awesome. It was $293.50 with my military discount. Winkler gives veterans 25% off the price. The TOOR/Scallywag tactical MUTINY was $350. I have another TOOR it is the FIELD 2.0 and that is a really great knife . It is a great EDC. Good luck with your blades I hope they treat you good!

    Thanks for the overview. I really appreciate you naming the Ruike Hornet. I think it's one of the most underrated small fixed blades on the market. From a practical use standpoint, it's got outstanding cutting performance, a useful and versatile blade shape, easy to sharpen/hone steel that's tough as nails and very stain resistant, a slim and compact form, a surprisingly ergonomic handle, and a versatile, effective polymer sheath. Also, it's a looker with clean, almost elegant lines. I'd honestly pick it over the Izula, Izula 2, BK 11, or the BK 14 any day.

    I didn't think I would like it at first, because the handle is a bit small for me, but of all my fixed blades, the Esee 4 gets the most use. In terms of weight, overall quality, sheath and price, it is very hard to beat. The only real competitor on the table might be the Mora. But I haven't tried it yet.

    Great video. Definilty a couple blades from that list I need to get! Maybe slow down on sheathing the knives. Made me nervous for your finger tendons every time you missed the first try.

    If I could only have one knife for the rest of my life and had to choose from this group, I'd probably choose the Falkniven S1X. Which one would you choose?

      Great minds think alike, I think I'd take the S1x as well. -George

    Daggers. Need this type of episode for fixed blade daggers. Daggers don't get enough love or attention.

      Daggers are very illegal in most countries. That's why they're not talked much about.

    Esee is the best knife company. They are one of the few that stand behind their product with an unlimited lifetime warranty. By the time my first got beat up enough that I was thinking I might need to warranty it because of a tiny crack on the handle (Izula) from batoning through hardwood, I was fully attached to that knife so I welded the crack filed it down smooth and bought a new one.

    Missed the opportunity to mention LionSteel fixed blades. We all know they are absolutely amazing quality for the money. My T6 K490 is an absolute unit.

    • @ssunfish
      @ssunfish Рік тому

      Hella yes! It takes the place in my rotation of Becker BK-2 while looking like TRC Apocalypse! I totally am grateful that I pulled the trigger on K490 before it went to CPM 3V!

  • @Deibodese
    @Deibodese Рік тому +1

    George! I’m genuinely shocked you didn’t showcase your LionSteel M1!
    I’ve been EDCing the Izula in 1095 for about two years, and I’m ready for a change. The Izula has been my last ditch knife for tasks that wouod break my folders, and it has lived up to its reputation of being indestructible, but I just can’t get past how hard it is to actually cut stuff with it. I can only really get it to cut if I’m beating on it like an angry gorilla. And while there are many angry-gorilla tasks out there, sometimes I want a finer touch.
    I’m looking at either the Bradford Guardian3 in 3V, the LionSteel M1 (in whatever steel), or the Bark River Ultralite Budhcrafter.

      @bobjohnson1633 Рік тому

      Get the guardian in magnacut. You can use the extra stainless and edge holding, and the size of knife certainly doesn't need MORE durability. Lionsteel are OP and m390 is plain great.

    • @ssunfish
      @ssunfish Рік тому

      I vote for ULB Bark River Ultralight Bushcrafter doubles duty as an EDC fixed blade! I'd love it in Elmax, Magnacut or S35VN!

    When I delivered pizza I carried a CS SRK secured horizontally to my belt in front (belt buckled to the right of it). The rubberized grip worked with greasy hands or dishwater on it, the knife and sheath were black so it blended in with my uniform, in that position it was quickly and surreptitiously accessible with either hand in most situations while still concealing under my shirt, and it was still big enough to act as a decent deterrent if lethal action wasn't yet necessary. It wasn't a gun, but I worked with what was available to me.

  • @TheGrants-ow4kn

    Never seen the green handle srk-c. I bought my (4) SRK's from you guys. Cpm, san mai, sk 5 & sk5's srk-c. Also, have the urban edge from blade hq. But i feel the Safe Maker I & II are better all-around, imo. Also, I choose the Buck 120 over 119 any day (Scream fan). Sadly, I gifted away all 4 of my Ka-Bars'. Glad you put Fallkniven into it. I own 5. The Bowie but the laser design one i bought from blade hq is messed up but 99% of the bowie is fine. Along with the A1, A2, S1 but I don't like my A1x tbh. Premium 119 is cool. Gonna see if 120 has that upgrade as well.
