    Great video! I'm a Native American Navy Brat daughter of a special forces instructor & code breaker. So, I LOVE my fixed blades. Big, or small. I do like folders for other reasons. I see knives as interactive art. I'm hearing nothing but good things about Oearla. other knife channels are pronouncing it -Earl-uh-. Great video! Thanks for sharing. subscribed!

    Have the SOG Gambit and for the money it's a nifty little blade. Wish the metal was of better quality but it's not meant for daily use, so edge retention isn't much of a concern. I did wrap over the fiberglass grips with 550 cord to add some girth and found it to be a little more manageable for quicker deployment and stability. I keep it on my plate carrier for a GTFOM setup and works seamlessly.

    • @BladesandBait

      Absolutely, good knife for the money. Surprisingly for karambit, it's a good utility knife too. Good idea wrapping it with cordage.

    Great video. Personally krambits are my go to for a self defense knife and I carry a Fox Black Bird every day. I'd prefer if it had more of a gaurd but its not too bad otherwise. One thing I'd say though is to avoid anything with serrations when it comes to self defense. They are VERY likely to get caught on/in things such as clothing making use a lot less straight foward and easy as a plain edge.

    • @BladesandBait
      @BladesandBait  2 роки тому +1

      I agree, the karambit makes for a good self defense weapon, all though I typically forget to carry it. Instead I always have a pocket knife that I use for my edc.

    Good video, check out the White river m1 caper is a move for appendix carry i edc one. Idk about self defense I did abunch of karate/taekwondo but at the end of the day my Glock or mace is more effective then the knife in my opinion. Really need to know what your doing and be close If your going to use a deadly weapon a 9mm compact would be my go to.

    • @BladesandBait
      @BladesandBait  Рік тому +1

      Thanks. I completely agree, once it comes to self defense, a firearm would be the most effective. However I found that many people don't want to carry one, and it's better to have something on you than nothing at all.

    Thank you for the video. I would love to see more content like this. You definitely won my sub. How has the Oerla (pronounced Oh-air-la just fyi) treated you so far? Do you think they did a good job with the 420HC steel? Have you had any Buck knives with that steel? If so, how would you compare the steel performance? I don't expect it to be as good as Buck, but does it take and hold a decent edge? Good job. I'll be looking forward to more videos.

    • @BladesandBait
      @BladesandBait  2 роки тому

      Thank you, it's greatly appreciated! The Oerla is a good solid knife and holds an edge well. The only thing I don't like, it is a heavy knife. For a fixed blade, I prefer more like cold steel Bushman, or the Buck Hunter.
