Hello. I carry an Ozark Trail 7 inch fixed blade in my front pocket and it's razor sharp
Ozark makes some decent stuff. Id say there may be some better options out there for not a whole lot more than Ozark. Eafengrow makes phenomenal full size fixed blades for cheap. Good materials too
The only fixy I have is the sea snake. I'm looking at buying one of those esee.
Let me no if you have any questions brother
The Brisa Bobtail has been a great EDC for me.
Love the vids!!!!
Thanks brother I appreciate it man 🤜🏻💥🙏🏻
The only fixed blade I EDC right now is the Izula with micarta scales, which I carry in my front pocket. Nice selection in your video.
Thanks brother I love the izula
Hard to beat the Izula 2 as a great EDC. I am looking at the Joker Erizo for around $50 to start an EDC rotation.
Really nice to see
Thanks brother 🤜🏻
so cool brother
Becker BK14...amazing lil fixed blade
Hell yeah man
The CRKT is crap, I've owned and used one of these. Won't hold an edge, restricted on hand position. Bad purchase on my part, gave it away.
This is true. 3cr doesn't have the best edge retention. Mine would be mainly used as a pokey pokey 😂 def better options in the range
I purchased the minimalist a few years back.
I'd never buy anything crkt.
It's possibly the worst steel ever. I managed to blunt mine, buttering my toast 😂
They should definitely switch up their steel choice on this line. 14C28N would be perfect.
@@GBall_Visionthey’re 5cr not 3cr but it’s basically still just cheap ass 420 steel. there’s a couple variants in 8cr and some exclusives in d2 steel, and there’s a single one in 154cm for $100. but personally if you want a minimalist, buy a SPEW, SPIT, or SPEC. they’re all i believe 8cr at minimum
Chinese crap never buy crkt
Got a few of the watchman. Man those are awesome. Also have the izula 2 I like that as well
The Izula 2 is fantastic. The watchman's are really affordable if someone needs an entry level fixie
@GBall Vision
The watchmen knife is NOT a copyright infringement
Agreed if it was a lot of companies are in trouble 😂
@@GBall_Vision when I looked up the Chris Reeve knife those guys were crying about all I saw was why aren't they complaining about the Axial Alpine.... That looks very similar also.... It makes no sense.....and also according to the US patent office.....you can't copyright or patent a shape unless it has never been seen before or it's used in a specific way in regards to the operation of a product..... Think Benchmade Omega spring
You put me on that watchman & I really like it. Wish the micarta was better but for the price, I’ll take it! The waxahachie is a great budget fixie too
Agreed 💯💯 my thoughts exactly 💯
WARNING! That watchman is a Chris reeve replica/clone. Worse than a gas station knife in my opinion. Please don't support companies that take away from hard working American companies. I know crk is trying to sue such companies. Copy right and patent infringement is a serious offense. And how could you trust your life on such a cheap knock off
Sweet blades man. Had my eye on the minimalists and thst watchman. Although since you pointed out the necker looking like an esee. It appears watchman also has a fixie that looks just like the boker plus nessmi pro. Hmmm
🤔 hmmm smells a little fishy fish
Good suggestions, Greg. I carry a small fixie every day, either horizontally on my belt with the handle over my buckle or in my left hip pocket. I have several, including 2 cusoms by AriesEDC and a CDC Salvation. I'm looking at a new one from Kabar-the Snody Boss. It's USA made in S35VN for 40 freaking bucks.
Thanks brother
I need a Aries knife
@@GBall_Vision His books for March will soon be open.
i have a snody boss. it’s not bad for the price but i’d recommend the snody big boss. the regular snody boss is a full chisel grind, so only ground and beveled on one side. the big boss is a traditional v grind and v bevel. the regular boss also has a very short handle, the blade is like 3.5in and the handle is just barely over 3in
Very qell dome and very affordable xhoices. Appreciate ya brrother. I want the esee myself
Hell yeah brother!!!!
Turn on autocorrect
Yeah I guess I should lol. I can spell dude I just didn't check. Thanks for your concern though lol
Just got the Watchman W206 yesterday. Quite impressed for $30. Looking at other models.
I mean it may not be the best heat treat, idk that for sure but for $30 or so it is a good deal I think 😃
The watchman is a clone of a Chris reeves Nyala. Buying clones is not cool. It hurts the original designer of the knife and perpetuates toxicity in the honest knife community. Just stick with the Chris reeves Nyala or buy something similar but not trying to manipulate a customer base illegally. The only reason they exist is the internet, they are technically illegal and come from China. Just fyi
Been into fixed blades for a while, just pig stickers and such , just started getting into folders now , but still enjoy a good fixed , surprisingly handles let down most , to thick or too thin
Agreed 💯💯 it's tough to find one you can carry with no issues
Izula 2 with TKF g10 scales and hopefully soon Armatus Carry sheath for me.
Hell yeah man 😎
I’m excited to find out about the watchman’s 14c, I have one and I was never sure if it is 14c and what the hrc was.
I've heard that it's decent stuff for the $
@@GBall_Vision any time frame on when you will have the results? Doesn’t have to be exact I’m just curious.
Now that nice weather is here I'll be doing more outdoor testing
@@GBall_Vision nice
WOOOOOOOOOO
Nice. I always carry a fixed blade. HALF FACE BLADES Combat Dirt Nap, Williams Blade Design SZK005 by TRC knives, or a TOOR, and SCALLYWAG TACTICAL BLACK MUTINY! Have a great day
Ive been wanting a half face blades. Thanks brother
I would suggest to try the Kizer Harpoon. Mine is in 10v and I really like it. Not sure if they are still available in 10v though.
I'll have to try one
they’re not available in 10v sadly. wish i’d have gotten one when they were, it was an INSANE deal for that blade steel.
The Joker scales looks like G10.
Your not wrong, they do look like they could be. But it's micarta that has a solution put on it to harden it basically and they smooth it out - it feels different compared to linen type micartas. Thanks for watching brother
You should try the ferrum forge lackey. Great price USA made nice and then
I will have to check it out thanks brother 🤜🏻💥
If the candiru came in a. Stainless - lights out
didnt they start offering it in s35vn? or not yet. ill tell you what though, their 1095 with that powder coat is incredible, i have tested multiples of their knives in it and beat them to hell and they keep coming back for more
@@GBall_Vision Izula has a s35 and it’s amazing. Candiru does not. I have the powdered coat but I’m telling you the humidity here will rust my exposed blade portion if I don’t essentially keep it constantly oiled
I carry either the mini pendleton hunter or most often utica utk-n2. Utica is amazing it is probably my favorite.
But lately ive been carrying the SRK-C. I really love it.
Im thinking about the demko armiger4 clippoint mainly because i love 80cv.
I do love 14c28n might have to try that watchman. Ive just read mixed reviews on their other blades. Nothing that it wasn't advertised steel just they were soft on heat treatment.
I personally think esee is overpriced and a gimmick. Most knife companies honor warranty. If a knife i buy breaks with my usage. The last thing i want is another one. I can't imagine paying $100+ for 1095. We are talking old school steel. Why it's not coming from overseas i think its straight greed? That's just my opinion
Thanks brother for all the info and input. I agree brother thanks man
ESEE-4 in S35!
Great choice
Mora
Mora's are great 😃
That watchman is a knockoff of the CR Nyala. Shame Shame Shame !!!
I mean I guess so? Idk how CRK can call such a simple handle and simple blade shape their own design and solely theirs when it's been around for decades upon decades, almost everything is copied off of something in some way. Now if it says CRK on the knife then id agree but to much simple there, do you know how many knives have that same basic look?
@@GBall_Vision you and Chubaka sure don't understand copyright infringement very well do you? If the shape is integral to the products design it is indeed copyrightable. As a custom knife maker myself, our signature design elements are literally our marks and what separates us from other people's work. Knife makers take it very seriously. It's not just that watchman made a similar knife, it's the exact same, they are intentionally cloning a design to manipulate the buyer to buy their product because it's a cheaper version of something expensive. That's what knock offs do. That's why it's always premium companies that get replicated, i.e. channel. Luis vuton, Rolex, Jordan's, etc. Their goal is to mislead people away from sales of the original company through underhanded means and it's not okay, and it's specially not okay for a "knife afficianado" to post about it. So yes very much shame on you, I hope UA-cam does something about you lame creators that just plead ignorance. You're a toxic detriment to the honest knife community.
Thank you so much for also pointing that out. People that think this is okay are toxic to the knife community.
@@darken8649 that's like saying every knife that came out after the Bugout with a drop point and standard handle is a knockoff. All these blade shapes and handle configurations ALL were done way before CRK Benchmade and any other company were even started. Everything design has influence from something else. Which makes sense, there's only so many ways to do a blade and handle.
I don't like "clones" meaning that when a company takes the company name and model and makes it look like it with all the branding of the original company
@@GBall_Vision dude, you just don't get it. I'm saying that a Chinese company that is making a bugout clone is a knock off, I'm saying that the watchman is made to be a nayala clone. Do you not understand that? It is EXACTLY the same dimension, color even the patent pending kudu horn twist micarta, that Chris reeve literally has a patent for is the same. How else can I spell it out. Jesus. Look up Drexcel versus Vander if you want to know the specifics. It's not just another knife with a similar blade shape or similar color. The company that makes the watchman calls it an effing Chris reeve clone! Are you daft? They are targeting people that want a Chris reeve but cannot afford it. Just like when you go to Mexico and buy fake Oakley's etc. Stop trying to defend your bad judgements. The actual knife is on the u.s. customs black list. Do I need to explain it to you in Spanish? German perhaps? It's an effing clone. Jesus.
The watchman is a Chris reeve clone. I can't believe you actually put that on your channel! That's copy right infringement, just fyi. I know Chris reeve knives are expensive but dude a Chinese clone? That's worse than a gastation knife. Terrible man.
you cannot copyright a SHAPE... you for real rn...
@@chubaka612 you don't know a whole lot about parents or copyrights do you? You can copyright a shape especially when said shape is integral to the design of the product. Drexel versus Vander. The only reason Chris reeves lawsuit has not come to fruition, yet, is because watchmen is a Chinese based company. It's like suing the fake channel or Luis vuton knock offs from Mexico. But I can assure you, as a custom knife maker myself, our designs are our signature, our mark, and we take it very seriously.
Never saw the CRK so I wouldn't know buddy. It doesn't say Chris Reeves on the blade. It says watchman. They can't sue a foreign Chinese manufacturer. A simple sheepsfoot and simple handle like that was done before Chris Reeves was born
