When I was a reckless jerk of a teenager I chucked a throwing star into a big map on my bedroom wall about 200 times. Mom flipped her lid (obviously) and I learned all about how to repair, texture, and paint drywall lol.
Sounds like his mom knew exactly what he would do & fashioned the star into his ownership, women are nothing if not manipulative. Her faux ire had to appear authentic enough that his teenage mind couldn't see her feminine ruse to get a "guilty" male to do tasks for her & for every female he'd chase in later life. Not quite the same as teaching a male child how to cook...but very much in the same vein. Every task a male child is taught to do...means any women with him wont have to.
This is what I'm talking about. I mentioned how Zac looked soft. Wearing button up polos. And I asked for more field testing. And now we got lumberjack zac back and field testing. God I love blade hq.
I’m starting my collection and am looking into purchasing a fixed blade that Will last a while could u recommend me a solid fixed blade to many to choose from
Manny Esee knives are a good company if you are looking for a camping bushcrafting knife, but i like Tops knives more because they have more variety of fixed knives from camping to self defense.

Throwing knife story: I HAD 3 Smith and Wesson throwing knives. I was in my backyard last month throwing them at trees. I threw one and it hit the ground and I never found it. My family and I spent over 3 hours looking for it so we didn’t hit it with the lawn mower. We’ve mowed the entire lawn probably like 5 times since I lost it. It is gone. The lawn ate my knife. THE LAWN ATE IT.
Yeah well that's what you get when you don't feed your lawn. It just wants your love, yet you're neglecting your baby lawn. It only wants your affection, but the only thing you ever give it is a trimming. Maybe it doesn't want a trimming. Maybe it just wants a hug. And maybe if you gave it that hug, it would gladly give you your knife back.
You guys need to do an "I like big knives and I can not lie" knife banter. You also need to do more banters with youtubers like the late boy scout, since he is in utah.
My neighbor had this little Kershaw folding knife he found in a parking lot. He was telling me how rugged and tough Kershaw knifes were. He decited to demonstrate this by throwing the knife at the vinyl floor. He did it about 4 times without a problem, each time sticking into the floor. The 5th time the tip of the blade broke off into the floor. The look on this dudes face was priceless.... He couldn't believe a Kershaw knife would break like that. But of course if you abuse any knife like that it will fail eventually. HAHA what a dummy!!
I have a bear grylls pro which is dull as hell but has become my knife I dont care about but so one day I had a pumpkin and from about 10 feet away threw it but the blade being about the length of the handle and lighter due to the hammer pommel, it did a no spin but with the pommel and hit the pumpkin with the pommel and flew back and hit me right where my femoral artery is by the belly of the blade, but it was so dull it didnt even cut me. All in all I got luck
Thank you for an episode focused on fixed blade knives, I appreciate it. One thing I would really like to see is an episode on tactical/combat/fighting style, full size(blades of 6"+). I've not been able to find a past episode on this specific class of knives on any of your past videos. Also, addressing the most effective ways to carry these, both concealed, as well as open carry applications.
No joke, when I was forward in AFG (shout out to FOB Salerno) we hard a hard time getting a grill going with the local charcoal (literally burnt wood, not briquettes) so I convinced the guys to splash some JP-8 on it. 8ft column of fire later we had some tasty, slightly kerosene flavored, burgers.
More fixed blades!!!, More fixed blades!!!, More fixed blades!!! More Bushcraft knives! Thanks y'all I'm old so if you could do it soon I'd appreciate it! Take care, Vern
I've made a habit of learning any skill that isn't a massive time investment while I can, as long as I find it cool. Knife throwing was one of these. An interesting phenomenon is when throwing a knife at a log target, it can rebound by sort of sesawing off the top and come back at you with pretty much the same force as the initial throw. Point is I've dodged more knives than I care to admit.
Mason Dummer I saw a dumb father throwing his knife onto a coconut tree with his toddler son walking near the tree he was throwing at. Before I could tell him off about how he disregarded safety the knife bounced off the tree and sliced a deep 4” gash on his son’s left thigh. This happened on an island with no medical facility nearby and the son was bleeding badly. I wished I could help but I wasn’t into knives then and did not carry a first aid kit like what I do now. So much for a dumb f**k.
please start a movie blade review and review the knives used in them: 1. All Mission Impossible movies (in the last movie he falls off his bike and then pulls out a ankle knife) 2. All James Bond movies 3. All Jason Bourne moives (including that pen in the pen fight) 4. Batman (Heath Ledger 5. Hanna 6. Long Kiss Goodnight 7. A Vigilante (2019) 8. John Wick 9. Expendables 10.

Honestly I carry a mora 510 or 546 every day and I love them. The 510 is for when I'm off hunting, prospecting or fishing and the 546 is for working. They are amazing!!!!
Not a "throwing" story as such. But when I was first learning aerials with my Microtech Balisong I tossed it and when I caught it it was not "right" and my hand hit it just right to where the blade spun back towards me and stuck me in the chest. Required 2 stitches to close but it was cool
I do love it when you guys give fixed blades some love. I switched to fixed blade carry and I havent carried or bought a folder in 2 years. I generally carry a Swiss Army Knife and a fixed blade every day. My general rotation is Esee Izula in a Cline sheath, Esee Candiru, Mora Eldris and occasionally Ill carry larger knives like an SRK or an old Browning Hunting knife. Generally Id say my Izula / Candiru / Eldris get most of my pocket or belt time.
my dumb knife throwing story is I once threw a camillis fillet knife at my wall when i was bored and the blade stuck through electrical wiring so i got moderately electrocuted when i tried to remove it from the wall 😂
You would have shorted out the circuit I doubt very much you hit the wire and only managed to hit the hot conductor without anything else on a 14 gage wire Specially when the ground is in between the hot and the neutral
Tks for the video. Just an issue to clarify: according to Mike Stewart, from Bark River, the "rooster" jimping on some of the Bravo model knives (there are Bravo models with a regular jimping or no jimping al all -- they call them "rampless") is a requirement from the SFs, their primary client , to help on detail work by pressing one's thumb on the front jimping. I recommend that interested viewers check out Mr. Stewart´s video on Bravo knives.
I LOVE fixed blades. More would definitely be cool. My dream job would be to work for BHQ, but I would probably just be working to pay off my knife bill.. It would be like a junkie working in a pharmacy..not a good combination, lol.
Back in the '70's I decided to throw my new Buck 110. Broke off about 1/2". Spent lots of time re profiling the blade with a hand stone. Still have it, still working.
Dumb Knife Story. The day I got my custom Bark River Aurora in (cru-wear, scandi grind, with OD canvas green micarta and red liners). While drawing the blade from its super-grippy sheath I cut my finger like it was warm butter. I instantly dropped the knife tip first onto my basement tile, taking a nice 1/8 inch off the tip. This is still by far my favorite knife. COLLECTION: Benchmade's - 119 Arvensis, - Mini Griptilian's Olive Drab Black Serrations x2 - 162 Bushcrafter - 940 Osborn rei edition - 535 Bugout with allen putman green micarta scales Microtech OTF Stormtrooper (white) collectors edition Bark River Aurora in (cru-wear, scandi grind, with OD canvas green micarta and red liners) Swiss Army - Super Tinkerer - 5 SD's - Climber...more Leatherman - Wave+ - Micro - Free P4 - Skate Tool, ...more and a hand-full of randoms before I knew anything about knifes I changed my ways when I was whittling a spoon and nearly took off my whole thumb
Another great Knife Banter, though I would’ve appreciated getting a view of each fixed blade’s sheath as that is a large factor in its functionality, imo.
I was working in a warehouse about 6 years ago and I had just bought my cold steel counter point folder. It was a slow afternoon and the supervisor wasn’t around so we took turns throwing the knife into some boxes. This is when I did my stupid. I tried to do some quick JCVD throw straight from the pocket and knife skipped across the floor like a rock on the lake. The griv ex handle shattered near the base of the blade. Luckily that knife has liners so it was still usable. I ended up giving it to one of my friends that I worked with that was throwing it with me that day and he was ecstatic. He wasn’t a big knife guy until that point and now he has his own little collection.
I EDC a fixed blade every day. I carry the Bawidamann Blades Muninn with an acid etched finish as my primary utility blade. I also occasionally carry a defensive fixed blade knife, though more often than not its just my firearm and a spare mag.
When I was about 18 or 19 I was at my buddy's house and he had a dart board behind the bar in his room. I chucked a throwing star at it as our friend stood up and it grazed her ponytail. I didn't know she could run that fast. I almost didn't get away from her.
Yeah. You guys should do more fixed blade content. I like them better, they're stronger, and they don't get enough love (especially at on this channel for some reason)
With one of my first Kershaw leeks, I got so comfortable with it. I loved the slim tip for fine work. It's not for throwing, but I knew if thrown perfectly it wouldn't snap (had done with previous leek). So on my first throw with this one it snapped about 1/3 of the knife off 🤷♂️
That Dark Timber 1911 elite is actually Buckeye burl inlay in the handle NOT black ash. I have the same handle and liners on my Honey badger... My 1911 elite has BLACK ASH Burl with orange liners. Awesome collection btw. Sorry was just bothering me that he doesn’t know or got confused of what wood inlay is on his knife handle (a Dark timber at that lol)
I carry a Attleboro fixed blade pretty regularly. Haven't found a fixed blade I like more. I've had my eye on a few smaller Bradford's to EDC but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I batoned some small pieces of 2x4 with my Bark River Auroura. Didn't know there where nails in the wood. I had three huge divits in the blade. I had to send it in for them to grind the blade back to get them out, as well as give it there "Spa treatment".
Im a big fan of the McNett Knives, and carried the Samish and Saturna daily for a few years, I never had a problem, but was always a little concerned with legality in some places, with them being double edged. Now my usual daily is the Esee Izula.
Once I was throwing a knife at a tree and then it bounced back between my legs and my dad came outside "did you just get beat at mumbelypeg by a tree?"
Hey @bladehq I’d love to see some heavily used EDC knives. I feel like we always see new shiny stuff, you should either have people send in pics of their heavily used knives or go around the office and find some loved and used EDC pocket knives your staff carry. Loved the kalashnikolv video, I wanna see more heavily used tools
You missed the ultimate survivor, bushcraft, camping knife that is perfect for self survival it is the Winkler Crusher belt W/Rubber handles. NSW uses them
I don't own a fixed blade as of yet as I'm just starting a collection of knives but some of the fixed blade you can just beat up and they are awesome and some are really cheap as well (under $100). So you don't mind if it looks beat up and what not
Throwing knife story: I had my brand new Condor Bushlore and was out in the desert with my brothers just having fun. I decided to try and throw it (first mistake) into a log on the ground several feet from where I was standing (second mistake). The knife bounced off the log and stuck my leg just above the ankle. Blood squirted out about a foot and by the time I got home my shoe was drenched. Went to the doc and he said, "we can numb it and stitch it up or we can forget the numbing and throw a couple staples in real quick." I went with the staples. Afterward I asked if I could keep the little staple gun because there were still 10 - 12 in it. He would have just thrown it away. It is now in my first aid kit. If you ever need staples for a cut and the gun still has some in it, ask to keep it because it will likely come in handy since you cut yourself to begin with.
My dumb that I did was pretty embarrassing. I was sitting on the toilet, bored out of my mind because my phone was dead. So I pulled my knife out and started studying it, just to keep myself occupied. I tested the balance point for my own curiosity. First I tested it on its side, then I tested it along the contour of the finger grip. It promptly rolled out of my hand and landed exactly on the tip on the tile floor, breaking off about 1/64 of an inch of the tip.
As someone who carrys 2 fix blades often and always has at least 2 folder and or multitool. My daily I always have a defensive knife on me. Any like a Ban Tang Shivworks Clinch Pick, Brous Blades MF-CEO, Colonel Blades LowVz, TOPS Rapid Strike, Benchmade ADAMAS, KaBar TDI Hinderer Hell Fire, and Ryan W Knives UTrap for personal defense with a handgun typically Glock, S&W M&P, or a CZ. I also will have a bag on me so I have a Multitool there but also a fix blade depending on where I'm going and possibly and Axe if I'm going camping hell I my truck I have Estwing Sportsman Special Edition in it with a Morakniv Garberg and an ESEE 6 also a Leatherman Wave Plus in my 3 day backpack. Not counting my daily carry backpacks or hiking/camping backpacks. I will have typically a small fix blade and a beater pocket knife. I don't like giving people my $100+ knives to watch them disappear. Much rather someone walk off with a ESEE Zancudo or OKC RAT mode 2 or Steel Will Cutjack Mini. I have changed my personal beater knife to Kershaw Emersons in D2. They are my most used knives. However, my most carried pocket knives are Benchmade 940-2 Osborne, Spyderco Paramilitary 2 S35VN, Spyderco Para 3 Maxamet, ZT Sinkevich 0470, and Giantmouse Ace Biblio in Micarta barely missing out the Microtech Combat Troodon Tan Aluminum Elmax and CRK Small Sebenza Insingo and Benchmade Mini Griptilian Sheepsfoot 20CV. My other knife is often my Grandfather's Parker Cutlery Co small lockback knife if not it I carry Moki Kronos lockback. If I don't carry a second pocket knife I carry a Leatherman Juice CS4 or Squirt PS4
Okay, I'll share a story. Some friends and I were throwing knives at a stump one day. I had a few beers and decided a nice monologue would further enhance the experience. I took three blades behind my back and yelled "feel my knives" and sent them flying towards the stump. All three missed the stump and instead ended up in the door panel of one of the guys truck that was a good few feet away from the intended target.
The best fixed blade I’ve ever had (still use it) has probably been the Esee Junglas-2. The full junglas is too long to be a camp knife (i mean depending on experience of who uses it, but talking purely straight up, barebones tasks) But take that 2-3 inches off and you’ve got yourself a do-all knife. Chop, baton, feather sticks, Choke up and you can do fine carving, but the big blade does limit it of course but that’s to be expected. It’s like the Esee-6 with the thickness of the 5, with the size of the Junglas minus 3in. Only down-sides are price and weight. Wonderful steel, holds an edge for weeks of steady work, but if you’re already humping 30-40lbs of gear it does add up. It is carbon steel so dry the knife just to prevent rust or get some sort of lube, but I wouldn’t bother Because getting lube/oil in your food tastes like ass. It’s still heavy. I can’t say enough about this knife. I saw an esee-3 in the vid and those are great little knives, but if we’re talking do-all, save your ass, SHTF knives? Junglas-2 all the way. The price is totally worth it. Plus they have a no-questions asked warranty. A combination of medium woods axe or larger hatchet, the junglas-2, a small fixed blade or folder (I’ve used a benchmade 580 or esee3/izula), and a good thick ferro rod? That shit has saved my life, twice.
I've broke many but would never even think of throwing a knife that expensive. Hell I wouldn't throw 9ne nice as that buck which was actually one of my favorites
I have an east german Kalashnikov bayonet that I used to love throwing at a tree. One day, the knife wasn't having it and bounced back and poked me below the knee. No scars.
Whats the rub with L.T. Wright knives? They were there at the beginning of the modern US bushcrafting scene. I'm pretty sure you see a couple of the LTWKs on some of the "Alone" reality show. Mitch Mitchell, Carleigh Fairchild, Larry Roberts are just a few of the best contestants who carried L.T.s knives on the show. L.T. was part of the Blind Horse Knives company before the split. I have owned MANY of his fixed blades. However I am pleased that you really like the one you have now. Sorry guysI just have to stand up for LT as he is my homeboy and a super guy.
I was a tomboy growing up fishing, camping and hunting small game with my grandfather. (Today, I'm at the end of my 50's and a grandmother.) When I was younger, I could sharpen any blade to a razor sharp edge for fileting fish, dressing small game, making shavings for fires, etc. These days, I try and sharpen my knives and half the time, outside of V. old blades, it almost seems like I'm dulling the blades?! Is there an angle or something at the edges? If so, how can I find out the angle so I can sharpen these new knifes?! .
On the Bark River your thumb is supposed to go over the ramp not behind it. Personally, I find the ramp too sharp at the top so I file off the top spike of the ramp & then it works great.
I used to work in a warehouse and on our slow time we would set up boxes in our warehouse and throw whatever knife I brought got in that day. Haha someone next once chipped a tip.
My arsenal is small but effective. I have an axe, a Mora black and a Bark River Aurora in cpm 3v. I tend to look after my tools really well and never use the knives to baton, that's what the axe is for. Honestly, I've been through many knives over the years, but the Aurora in cpm 3v is just crazy, it does anything and everything extremely well. Luckily it wasn't my first knife, because if it was, I would be let down by every other blade I put my hands on afterwards.
the knife that started me into fixed blades is actually kind of a interesting/rare Ka-bar that was given to me by my grand father, the knife in question was a limited series knife that was sold from 1978-1980 its and old Ka-bar 1240 hunting/skinning knife, other than that i really don't know about it. my absolutely favorite fixed blade knife is the CRKT Hunt'n Fisch which reminded me of my fist fixed blade that was given to me. (which fun fact was the first knife i needed stitches from)
I have a dumb knife throwing story. About five years ago I used to plant trees. I had a SOG Zoom 2 which I still have today. And I was cutting straps off a box one of my co-workers asked if it was a good knife. I said yeah this knife is pretty much indestructible. And I was decent at throwing knives. So I threw it at a palm tree and it's stuck in the palm tree and it was stuck open. So I had to ship it back to SOG to get it replaced and when I brought it to the post office they thought I was trying to rob them or something because I walked in with an open knife. You should call the post office before you walk in and present an open knife.
When I was a reckless jerk of a teenager I chucked a throwing star into a big map on my bedroom wall about 200 times.
Mom flipped her lid (obviously) and I learned all about how to repair, texture, and paint drywall lol.
Sounds like you have an awesome mom.👊
Patrick M haha good times
Patrick M a blessing in disguise for sure haha
Sounds like his mom knew exactly what he would do & fashioned the star into his ownership, women are nothing if not manipulative. Her faux ire had to appear authentic enough that his teenage mind couldn't see her feminine ruse to get a "guilty" male to do tasks for her & for every female he'd chase in later life.

God I love blade hq.
i love fixed blade. always perfect centering, they never have blade play. 🔪 ☠️

I’ve had a fixed blade with blade play

Try dragging a magnet
Metal detector would come in handy.
Something bright to distinguish it from foliage would help to find it better maybe paracord
That has happened to me before too... Just disappeared.
You guys need to do an "I like big knives and I can not lie" knife banter. You also need to do more banters with youtubers like the late boy scout, since he is in utah.
Daniel Ruthven both great ideas man
Yes!
Outstanding idea! I love me some big ass slabs of steel, and I won't even try to deny.
You should do EDC fixed blades next
If enough of you guys want it we will make it happen 👊
Do itttt
Just do it!!!!
@@BladeHQ Would love for you to do this!!
Do it

Mitchell from “The Shop” kinda reminds me of Austin. His mannerisms and the sound of his voice. I really miss that guy 😪
Just got a package from ye today with 5 fixed blades and a blackout
Fergus Lyons wow that’s a heavy box
I have a bear grylls pro which is dull as hell but has become my knife I dont care about but so one day I had a pumpkin and from about 10 feet away threw it but the blade being about the length of the handle and lighter due to the hammer pommel, it did a no spin but with the pommel and hit the pumpkin with the pommel and flew back and hit me right where my femoral artery is by the belly of the blade, but it was so dull it didnt even cut me.

More fixed blades!!!, More fixed blades!!!, More fixed blades!!! More Bushcraft knives! Thanks y'all I'm old so if you could do it soon I'd appreciate it! Take care, Vern
I threw a mall throwing knife and it rebounded and hit me right between the eyes. It didn’t do a lot of damage but I still have a scar from it.
I was expecting this to be a pun..... I was let down.
I've made a habit of learning any skill that isn't a massive time investment while I can, as long as I find it cool. Knife throwing was one of these. An interesting phenomenon is when throwing a knife at a log target, it can rebound by sort of sesawing off the top and come back at you with pretty much the same force as the initial throw.

You guys should definetly have this dude come back more cause he is totally awesome
I saw this in my recommendations in school and I was so happy when I saw fixed blades
ArtemisLance Y i was at work! Well I am at work haha
I threw one if my cold steel throwing knives and it came back and poked throughout my boot and into my foot
Great!
Awesome
Good one!
Mason Dummer I saw a dumb father throwing his knife onto a coconut tree with his toddler son walking near the tree he was throwing at.

Mora knives are incredible!
Not a "throwing" story as such. But when I was first learning aerials with my Microtech Balisong I tossed it and when I caught it it was not "right" and my hand hit it just right to where the blade spun back towards me and stuck me in the chest. Required 2 stitches to close but it was cool
Kryo Genik haha sounds cool all scars tell a story
Yeah I would love to see more edc fixed blade content because I'm just getting into fixed blades. Would love to see what you guys come out with.
I do love it when you guys give fixed blades some love. I switched to fixed blade carry and I havent carried or bought a folder in 2 years.

The best knife throwing story hands down has to be when lynn Thomson showed us his Filipino foot work video
my dumb knife throwing story is I once threw a camillis fillet knife at my wall when i was bored and the blade stuck through electrical wiring so i got moderately electrocuted when i tried to remove it from the wall 😂
Oh SHIT
It was a shocking experience !
LOL 😂
hunter agent Bullshit I’m electrician you were assured her that while you’re out

This has been one of my favorites. I had three of his fixed blades and love them. (Bark River and LT Wright)
More fixed blades please
I carry the Bark River Mountain Man dagger, in CPM 3V. Both edges are razor sharp. It's the perfect self defense knife.
Back in the '70's I decided to throw my new Buck 110. Broke off about 1/2". Spent lots of time re profiling the blade with a hand stone. Still have it, still working.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys got a Bark River on the channel! Jeez
I'm new to the knife world. Please, more info and content on fixed blades! Love 'em!
He's the man!!
I'm also a fixed knife guy.
Bark River Knives my favorite!!
This was an awesome video. Being a folder guy with a fixed blade or 2, it's really neat to see all the other amazing options out there!
Dumb Knife Story. The day I got my custom Bark River Aurora in (cru-wear, scandi grind, with OD canvas green micarta and red liners). While drawing the blade from its super-grippy sheath I cut my finger like it was warm butter. I instantly dropped the knife tip first onto my basement tile, taking a nice 1/8 inch off the tip. This is still by far my favorite knife.

Really enjoyed this exclusive look at Mitchell’s FBs. More, please.
Another great Knife Banter, though I would’ve appreciated getting a view of each fixed blade’s sheath as that is a large factor in its functionality, imo.
This was a dope video.
Agreed Man
So jealous of your fixed blade knife collection! AWSOME selection of blades.
Love fixed blade knives. Great collection. Working on mine. Getting a Ben Tendick hybrid Bowie soon and hopefully a Beck tracker knife in the future.
I was working in a warehouse about 6 years ago and I had just bought my cold steel counter point folder. It was a slow afternoon and the supervisor wasn’t around so we took turns throwing the knife into some boxes. This is when I did my stupid. I tried to do some quick JCVD throw straight from the pocket and knife skipped across the floor like a rock on the lake. The griv ex handle shattered near the base of the blade. Luckily that knife has liners so it was still usable. I ended up giving it to one of my friends that I worked with that was throwing it with me that day and he was ecstatic. He wasn’t a big knife guy until that point and now he has his own little collection.
I EDC a fixed blade every day. I carry the Bawidamann Blades Muninn with an acid etched finish as my primary utility blade. I also occasionally carry a defensive fixed blade knife, though more often than not its just my firearm and a spare mag.
When I was about 18 or 19 I was at my buddy's house and he had a dart board behind the bar in his room. I chucked a throwing star at it as our friend stood up and it grazed her ponytail. I didn't know she could run that fast. I almost didn't get away from her.
Your a good shot and a lucky man. I salute you good sir.🤝
Yeah. You guys should do more fixed blade content. I like them better, they're stronger, and they don't get enough love (especially at on this channel for some reason)
O1 tool steel is an excellent blade steel when heat treated properly. lots of folks wont agree, but lots of custom makers have used it for years.
Big fixed blade fan keep up the great content
Great to see some fixed blades being EDCed! I would love to see a video specific to EDCing fixed blades.
Thank you blade hq for this video you guys are awesome! Big thanks
With one of my first Kershaw leeks, I got so comfortable with it. I loved the slim tip for fine work. It's not for throwing, but I knew if thrown perfectly it wouldn't snap (had done with previous leek). So on my first throw with this one it snapped about 1/3 of the knife off 🤷♂️
Could you make a dagger review video?
Another video to satisfy my Knife Banter craving. I needed my fix, man.
Love fixed blades. I've been daily carrying a custom from JR Palm for 10 months with no end in sight. Longest I've ever carried a single knife.
That Dark Timber 1911 elite is actually Buckeye burl inlay in the handle NOT black ash. I have the same handle and liners on my Honey badger... My 1911 elite has BLACK ASH Burl with orange liners. Awesome collection btw. Sorry was just bothering me that he doesn’t know or got confused of what wood inlay is on his knife handle (a Dark timber at that lol)
Got a crkt m-16 sf that I've thrown chopped down small trees with and split wood with and it's still in great condition
I carry a Attleboro fixed blade pretty regularly. Haven't found a fixed blade I like more. I've had my eye on a few smaller Bradford's to EDC but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I batoned some small pieces of 2x4 with my Bark River Auroura. Didn't know there where nails in the wood. I had three huge divits in the blade. I had to send it in for them to grind the blade back to get them out, as well as give it there "Spa treatment".
Im a big fan of the McNett Knives, and carried the Samish and Saturna daily for a few years, I never had a problem, but was always a little concerned with legality in some places, with them being double edged. Now my usual daily is the Esee Izula.
Yes. Been looking for an edc fixed blade but uncertain I can carry on my belt blade down. Maybe the vid will help me make a decision
Uncle Shakey got the Golf Wang hoodie with the preme hat . Someone is a Tyler fan 👍
The Dark Timber 1911 is a PHENOMENAL Knife!!! Thank y’all
MORE FIXED BLADES!!!
An EDC fixed blade list would be nice to see.
M X about two years ago they put out a video titled, “Would You EDC a Fixed Blade” hope this helps
@@shawue8153 good to know thanks for looking out man!
mr editor is a man of culture. nice to se jarl ballin:D
Once I was throwing a knife at a tree and then it bounced back between my legs and my dad came outside "did you just get beat at mumbelypeg by a tree?"
“You’re getting ten across the ass”
@@shrimp-ln7nh didn't expect a brew stew fan here
Yes please... a vid on edc-ing fixed-blades is overdue. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏼
Hey @bladehq I’d love to see some heavily used EDC knives. I feel like we always see new shiny stuff, you should either have people send in pics of their heavily used knives or go around the office and find some loved and used EDC pocket knives your staff carry. Loved the kalashnikolv video, I wanna see more heavily used tools
Love the video as I'm a fixed blade carrier most of the time. Would love to see more.
As always love the show, being a knife nerd myself I would love to have a jod like yours.
I tried to play mumbly peg with a poly frame sog. Needless to say poly frames dont generally hold up for throwing.
You missed the ultimate survivor, bushcraft, camping knife that is perfect for self survival it is the Winkler Crusher belt W/Rubber handles. NSW uses them
I don't own a fixed blade as of yet as I'm just starting a collection of knives but some of the fixed blade you can just beat up and they are awesome and some are really cheap as well (under $100). So you don't mind if it looks beat up and what not
The words of the day are superb and stellar. In case you didn’t notice haha
Throwing knife story: I had my brand new Condor Bushlore and was out in the desert with my brothers just having fun. I decided to try and throw it (first mistake) into a log on the ground several feet from where I was standing (second mistake). The knife bounced off the log and stuck my leg just above the ankle. Blood squirted out about a foot and by the time I got home my shoe was drenched. Went to the doc and he said, "we can numb it and stitch it up or we can forget the numbing and throw a couple staples in real quick." I went with the staples. Afterward I asked if I could keep the little staple gun because there were still 10 - 12 in it. He would have just thrown it away. It is now in my first aid kit. If you ever need staples for a cut and the gun still has some in it, ask to keep it because it will likely come in handy since you cut yourself to begin with.
I’ve been wanting to edc a fixed blade I just font have one worth carrying. Would love to see a video on fixed blade edc!
Been carrying my esee izula as my edc, love it and not that bad to carry.
My dumb that I did was pretty embarrassing. I was sitting on the toilet, bored out of my mind because my phone was dead. So I pulled my knife out and started studying it, just to keep myself occupied. I tested the balance point for my own curiosity. First I tested it on its side, then I tested it along the contour of the finger grip. It promptly rolled out of my hand and landed exactly on the tip on the tile floor, breaking off about 1/64 of an inch of the tip.
Best intro yet! Really cracked me up. Love that guy!
As someone who carrys 2 fix blades often and always has at least 2 folder and or multitool. My daily I always have a defensive knife on me. Any like a Ban Tang Shivworks Clinch Pick, Brous Blades MF-CEO, Colonel Blades LowVz, TOPS Rapid Strike, Benchmade ADAMAS, KaBar TDI Hinderer Hell Fire, and Ryan W Knives UTrap for personal defense with a handgun typically Glock, S&W M&P, or a CZ. I also will have a bag on me so I have a Multitool there but also a fix blade depending on where I'm going and possibly and Axe if I'm going camping hell I my truck I have Estwing Sportsman Special Edition in it with a Morakniv Garberg and an ESEE 6 also a Leatherman Wave Plus in my 3 day backpack. Not counting my daily carry backpacks or hiking/camping backpacks. I will have typically a small fix blade and a beater pocket knife. I don't like giving people my $100+ knives to watch them disappear. Much rather someone walk off with a ESEE Zancudo or OKC RAT mode 2 or Steel Will Cutjack Mini. I have changed my personal beater knife to Kershaw Emersons in D2. They are my most used knives. However, my most carried pocket knives are Benchmade 940-2 Osborne, Spyderco Paramilitary 2 S35VN, Spyderco Para 3 Maxamet, ZT Sinkevich 0470, and Giantmouse Ace Biblio in Micarta barely missing out the Microtech Combat Troodon Tan Aluminum Elmax and CRK Small Sebenza Insingo and Benchmade Mini Griptilian Sheepsfoot 20CV. My other knife is often my Grandfather's Parker Cutlery Co small lockback knife if not it I carry Moki Kronos lockback. If I don't carry a second pocket knife I carry a Leatherman Juice CS4 or Squirt PS4
Okay, I'll share a story. Some friends and I were throwing knives at a stump one day. I had a few beers and decided a nice monologue would further enhance the experience. I took three blades behind my back and yelled "feel my knives" and sent them flying towards the stump. All three missed the stump and instead ended up in the door panel of one of the guys truck that was a good few feet away from the intended target.
Those Dark Timbers are beautiful.
I love fixee blades because they have the strongest locking mechanism
The best fixed blade I’ve ever had (still use it) has probably been the Esee Junglas-2. The full junglas is too long to be a camp knife (i mean depending on experience of who uses it, but talking purely straight up, barebones tasks) But take that 2-3 inches off and you’ve got yourself a do-all knife. Chop, baton, feather sticks, Choke up and you can do fine carving, but the big blade does limit it of course but that’s to be expected. It’s like the Esee-6 with the thickness of the 5, with the size of the Junglas minus 3in. Only down-sides are price and weight. Wonderful steel, holds an edge for weeks of steady work, but if you’re already humping 30-40lbs of gear it does add up. It is carbon steel so dry the knife just to prevent rust or get some sort of lube, but I wouldn’t bother Because getting lube/oil in your food tastes like ass. It’s still heavy. I can’t say enough about this knife. I saw an esee-3 in the vid and those are great little knives, but if we’re talking do-all, save your ass, SHTF knives? Junglas-2 all the way. The price is totally worth it. Plus they have a no-questions asked warranty. A combination of medium woods axe or larger hatchet, the junglas-2, a small fixed blade or folder (I’ve used a benchmade 580 or esee3/izula), and a good thick ferro rod? That shit has saved my life, twice.
Lately I've been carrying a Nemesis 2-zero. It's a tiny knife, but I love it for my EDC.
I've broke many but would never even think of throwing a knife that expensive. Hell I wouldn't throw 9ne nice as that buck which was actually one of my favorites
Awesome to see two knives from my buddy, Peter Kohler on this.
what do yall think about the Hell Gap? I've been carrying around the bull trout and i like it.
I have an east german Kalashnikov bayonet that I used to love throwing at a tree. One day, the knife wasn't having it and bounced back and poked me below the knee. No scars.
Whats the rub with L.T. Wright knives? They were there at the beginning of the modern US bushcrafting scene. I'm pretty sure you see a couple of the LTWKs on some of the "Alone" reality show. Mitch Mitchell, Carleigh Fairchild, Larry Roberts are just a few of the best contestants who carried L.T.s knives on the show.
L.T. was part of the Blind Horse Knives company before the split. I have owned MANY of his fixed blades. However I am pleased that you really like the one you have now. Sorry guysI just have to stand up for LT as he is my homeboy and a super guy.
I was a tomboy growing up fishing, camping and hunting small game with my grandfather. (Today, I'm at the end of my 50's and a grandmother.) When I was younger, I could sharpen any blade to a razor sharp edge for fileting fish, dressing small game, making shavings for fires, etc. These days, I try and sharpen my knives and half the time, outside of V. old blades, it almost seems like I'm dulling the blades?!
Is there an angle or something at the edges? If so, how can I find out the angle so I can sharpen these new knifes?!
.
Once I threw a kabar at an old front door made from really good wood. The kabar broke in half and the blade part almost hit me 😂
Those rebounds are dangerous.
On the Bark River your thumb is supposed to go over the ramp not behind it. Personally, I find the ramp too sharp at the top so I file off the top spike of the ramp & then it works great.
You guys should talk about tops knives more
I used to work in a warehouse and on our slow time we would set up boxes in our warehouse and throw whatever knife I brought got in that day. Haha someone next once chipped a tip.
WestiNation sounds like a fun job
Carlos EDC no the job was miserable but we had some down time. Haha
My arsenal is small but effective. I have an axe, a Mora black and a Bark River Aurora in cpm 3v. I tend to look after my tools really well and never use the knives to baton, that's what the axe is for. Honestly, I've been through many knives over the years, but the Aurora in cpm 3v is just crazy, it does anything and everything extremely well. Luckily it wasn't my first knife, because if it was, I would be let down by every other blade I put my hands on afterwards.
Would love more fix blade videos, still trying to decide which one I should buy for my first.
the knife that started me into fixed blades is actually kind of a interesting/rare Ka-bar that was given to me by my grand father, the knife in question was a limited series knife that was sold from 1978-1980 its and old Ka-bar 1240 hunting/skinning knife, other than that i really don't know about it. my absolutely favorite fixed blade knife is the CRKT Hunt'n Fisch which reminded me of my fist fixed blade that was given to me. (which fun fact was the first knife i needed stitches from)
I have a dumb knife throwing story. About five years ago I used to plant trees. I had a SOG Zoom 2 which I still have today. And I was cutting straps off a box one of my co-workers asked if it was a good knife. I said yeah this knife is pretty much indestructible. And I was decent at throwing knives. So I threw it at a palm tree and it's stuck in the palm tree and it was stuck open. So I had to ship it back to SOG to get it replaced and when I brought it to the post office they thought I was trying to rob them or something because I walked in with an open knife. You should call the post office before you walk in and present an open knife.
