Is it me or did Nutn just do a knife review of a knife he likes in seven minutes...I dont know what to do now with this extra 20 minutes I suddenly have.
Got my first Lloyd Pendelton in 1979, stopped by his home near Richmond, CA. He was gracious enough to show me his shop, and sell me a bird/trout knife. I promptly left it on the bank of the American River while trout fishing. $75.00, so he sold me another for $70.00. What a great man and even better maker!!!
Absolutely right on with the review... I suggested this mini to someone the other day on Cold Steel's facebook page as an often overlooked knife in the Cold Steel line-up of fixed blades. In my opinion (and you nailed it in nearly first sentences) Ya just wanna keep cuttin' stuff!!! Great steel, great handle, great geometry, great feel, reliable... plus a nice sheath at a remarkably fair-minded price.
I use it as a neck knife, perfect for that role for me. I put a piece of shock cord through lanyard hole and notch sheath and it adds a second retention to the knife when not in use.
What!? Only 6 1/2 min! I had my popcorn buttered and was ready for another nutnfancy feature length movie! I feel so let down. Oh well, I'll just go back and watch some old ones... Loving all the vids lately! Keep them coming!!!
I have had acouple of the mini Pendleton for several years now, bought one liked it so much bought a spare. If the 3 finger grip bothers you that much simply weave a chunky lanyard that you can grip onto. If you want a bigger version I would suggest looking at the CS Master hunter, Blade Length: 4 1/2", Blade Thickness: 3/16", Handle: 4 3/4" Long Kray-Ex, Steel: VG-1 San Mai III FFG, MSRP $159.99 . I have bought 2 of them as i like the knife so much i want a spare. The Master Hunter is an overlooked gem of a knife, the handle is the same as the SRK, so if you like the feel of the SRK you will like the feel of this knife. It just has a 4 1/2" FFG blade in VG-1 which i much preffer to the SRK VG-1 San Mai III hollow grind.
On this summer, in a world where folders reign supreme, one reviewer against all odds will bring a fixed blade review and earn an enthusiastic thumbs up of PowerMadHeadBanger! Action, romance, adventure, more action... nutnfancy channel.
Finally ordered some of those owl patches. Glad I checked to see if they were in stock. I know you guys don't make much on those, so thanks for keeping them around for latecomers like me! Keep the awesome vids coming!
"No gimping, who cares..." WHAT?!!! I never thought I would see the day when I heard those words come out of Nutn's mouth. ;) Nice KRV Nutn thanks!!! VIVA LA TNP!!!
Say Heah NutN, I used the Mini in some of my bush carries, it was the Mini Pendleton, my Master Hunter, and my 1980 San Mai 3 Trailmaster, I also have the S.R.K. and the Recon Tanto all are in the San Mai except the VG-1 M.P. Oh, yeah I also have the Kukuri Plus in 0-1, I could make a couple of nice combos with this set, and I also have some vintage CarbonV's, yeah that Mini Pendleton is alot of knife that can even be neck carried and defenetly can be a good E.D.C. Good video, Thanx.
That's a really cute knife :) Keep up the knife and outdoor gear rewiews Nutn, those are the best! a thought in the POU discussion: Kids knife! the handle and sheath looks safe enough, and the size is perfect for youngsters to carry along while camping or trekking.
Looks like the V3 Pendleton Mini Hunter (2015) now has a longer handle (3 5/8" four finger) vs. blade length (3") , is a bit lighter in weight (2.1 oz.) and uses a different steel, (U.S. CPM 3-V High Carbon With DLC Coating) and comes in at $119. From the website.
I wanted a nimcub but they are discontinued. I bought a mini Pendleton10 years ago in Aus 8. I wish it was thinner and the grind on the blade next to the finger guard is way to thick. So it doesn't cut by the guard very well at all. Not a bad knife. It didn't do what I wanted to do. The sheath is good but it doesn't snap in for inside down carry. It is a very strong knife for it weight. I still have it it sits in my backpack because you never know.
I had this little knife for about 2 years and ended up losing it. I moved and couldn't find it. In was so sad. I can't believe I lost such a good little knife
I think it actually makes a great neck knife. You can take the belt-loop attachment of the sheath and hang it on a lanyard. It's light, small, secure, and very utilitarian.
Damn I want one now. I'll hold out for the CPM 3V version, which will likely be around $60-70 given MSRP is $120, and CS street price is usually ~50-60% of that.
Yea, I don't know if the VG-1 is being replaced or just accompanied by CPM-3V. I think I'd be tempted to go with the 3V. VG-1 is really tough stuff but, 3V is such a nice cutlery steel. The dollar difference is not insignificant. I do like the size for EDC though, and agree it's a winner.
I received a mini pendleton in a trade years ago for free. The guy threw it into the box with other because he never found a use for it. Good knife for EDC. I keep it on on my belt clip tool belt.
You are right on with that little knife Nutn great knife for guttin deer and other uses. Had it lost it in the woods put did not have the money to replace it been a little poor lately. Good review.
Love it. Please please tell me you will review some of the new cold steel knives for this year... Not normally a huge cold steel guy, I have a few but the new ones really interest me
Funny my Nim cub 2 is my favorite fixed blade and I carry it most of the time. I made an inverted kydex sheath with paracord belt loop and it's perfect! My coating is almost 50% wore off from use and I call that character :)
I'm looking at the MP and thinking about skinning a coyote, after some time on the EPA of course. Sold out at BHQ. I'll be looking for this one on the web store. Thanks Nutn! KRV's rock.
I just bought one from Amazon, I've been looking for a small fixed blade to carry for work just to have a change from folders. It's hard to read through the illinois knife laws but from what I read the length of carry is 4 inches and in cook county it's two.five inches.
I am a huge fan of light weight fixed blades for edc! I'll have to check this one out... you should check out the mini compadre from snody knives! Affordable hand made excellence and super light weight compact edc fixed blade.
You should take a look at the Timberline mini pitbull. 2.4oz, 3" blade, 6.6" overall. AUS-6 steel, which isn't great, but it's competent, and the thing is not expensive at all.
I've had mine for a few years now. I love the knife! The only problem I have...and I'm gonna have to disagree with you, Nutn, is with the sheath. The design is great, but the material Cold Steel uses in their secure ex sheaths dulls the blade...severely. You have to be very careful not to rub the edge against the inside of the sheath, otherwise it'll be hair shaving sharp, and one or two extractions later, it won't even cut paper. So, I'm frustrated with all of the secure ex sheaths. I've never had this problem with Kydex or Spyderco's boltaron sheaths.
I'm loving the fix blade knife videos. The recent koa review led me to discover that quality filet knifes such as the steelhead suregrip Orange filet knife may be a great upgrade for boundary water camping. Nutnfancy, are filet knifes an interest to you? If so, what's on your radar?
I Have a master hunter its the only knife I ever used and the first knife that I ever got been thinking about getting one but not sure if I would ever use it though.
The Benchmade Nim Cub is a nice knife, tho not popular cause no one watches my video on it. Could be cause I suck at knife reviews. The Mini Pendleton looks like a nice knife for $45 at Blade HQ.
I mostly use a crkt folts minimalist for my edc and highly recomend it. Do you think the mini pendleton knife would be a better backpacking or backup camping blade?
which knive stores does nutnfancy recommend at the moment? my go-to is down since a while now (it was notjustknives) ... just did a quick scan of this vid but didn't happen to find any annotations if there were
A but unrelated but I just got a master hunter san mai III and i would like to see what nutn thinks about. I think the size is great for an all-purpose camping knife. I don't plan on abusing for sake of it but i am excited to see how well it holds up to ourdoor use. That being said i live in alaska and i prefer to camp in the summer so im waiting for the break up haha
Hey nuthn have u seen the cold steel spike? I use to be a real hater on it but got one, and I can honistly say one of my favorite edc knives. so slim it fits in a pocket with ease and nobody can tell that ur carrying a knife at all. Just try holding one sometime and u will see what I mean it looks odd but feels great. Take care nuthn keep up the great vids long time subscriber and always will be
I've got a great knife for you to review: Buck Knives Apex, 3-3/4" closed length with a 2-5/8" blade, weighing only 1.7 ounces! I'm hoping for a video on this knife in the future.
check your local laws! if you want to carry a fixed blade legally you need to have it showing if it is over certain length(check your laws), or you could shorten the blade so it can be concealed legally! I'm surprised Nut`n didn't talk about that? if you want to improve your box breaking down speed, hide your potential weapon from a foe, all while not looking like a bad guy biker, these little knifes are great! Check out the Gerber Ghost strike too, the sheath makes it better + made in USA!
Is it me or did Nutn just do a knife review of a knife he likes in seven minutes...I dont know what to do now with this extra 20 minutes I suddenly have.
If you're on the Internet you'll find a way to get rid of that time.
Nice...
The video is as short as the knife.
Wow! I had no idea I would ever see a review of one of these! I've had on e for about 2 years and carry it every day!
Got my first Lloyd Pendelton in 1979, stopped by his home near Richmond, CA. He was gracious enough to show me his shop, and sell me a bird/trout knife. I promptly left it on the bank of the American River while trout fishing. $75.00, so he sold me another for $70.00. What a great man and even better maker!!!
Big things in small packages. Love the engraving you do on your blades. Thanks!
I have to agree it is a great blade.
I picked up a couple for my children because it fits their hands really well.
Take Care.
I do like this one.
Thanks for broadcasting the good stuff Nutn!
Buying one now.....everything NUTN approves I hook up and I've never been let down.
Absolutely right on with the review... I suggested this mini to someone the other day on Cold Steel's facebook page as an often overlooked knife in the Cold Steel line-up of fixed blades.

"No jimping, who cares?" and under 7min... who are you and what have you done with Nutnfancy?!?!
I have this knife and the big brother. This mini is a great knife.
I bought a used mini on eBay. I glued magnets on the dash of my truck and the knife comes in very handy there.
Keep the knife reviews coming NUTN......love them
I love my ColdSteel super edge, even smaller fixed blade. It's a great EDC.
What!? Only 6 1/2 min! I had my popcorn buttered and was ready for another nutnfancy feature length movie! I feel so let down. Oh well, I'll just go back and watch some old ones... Loving all the vids lately! Keep them coming!!!

THAT BENCHMADE SHEATH LOOKS GREAT!!!

Nice review, I've been looking to get my wife an EDC knife but much like you we prefer folding ones. Great work man.

I did not know they updated it, sounds good but I'm not taking that price increase
I'd still take the original since they are still available for $25-45
Cool knife nutn you dropped a lot of content lately loved it :)
I wanted a nimcub but they are discontinued. I bought a mini Pendleton10 years ago in Aus 8. I wish it was thinner and the grind on the blade next to the finger guard is way to thick.

Beast turned me on to this on his channel and bought it love it
I want to see you review the 2015 Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter.
I think it actually makes a great neck knife. You can take the belt-loop attachment of the sheath and hang it on a lanyard. It's light, small, secure, and very utilitarian.
Damn I want one now. I'll hold out for the CPM 3V version, which will likely be around $60-70 given MSRP is $120, and CS street price is usually ~50-60% of that.

I received a mini pendleton in a trade years ago for free. The guy threw it into the box with other because he never found a use for it.
Good knife for EDC. I keep it on on my belt clip tool belt.
Also looks like a good first knife for a kid.
Good review! Love the small knives. I don't have any practical application for it. It's cool.
You are right on with that little knife Nutn great knife for guttin deer and other uses. Had it lost it in the woods put did not have the money to replace it been a little poor lately. Good review.
Love it. Please please tell me you will review some of the new cold steel knives for this year... Not normally a huge cold steel guy, I have a few but the new ones really interest me

My EDC knife! I'm glad it's actually legal to carry in Germany.
Thx NnF! Although I do not own it, I love it already! Definitely an option for a forthcoming buy.
Thank you so much for this review !! I was oogling that one for a long time now.
I'm sold! Thanks
Hoping you would review this knife for a long time now. THANK YOU!
I kinda want one now......darn you nutn.....
I just bought the last one from dvor. $12 so excited
I use this knife in my firefighting gear, it's great!
Nice knife.
Insane in the membrane!
That would make a great kids knife!
Got it for my kid for a 1st knife.
You should take a look at the Timberline mini pitbull. 2.4oz, 3" blade, 6.6" overall. AUS-6 steel, which isn't great, but it's competent, and the thing is not expensive at all.
Damn it Nutn !! Tugging at my wallet again. Thanks great review as always.
Pendleton Lite is and awesome, cheap, and light weight blade, even better!
I've had mine for a few years now. I love the knife! The only problem I have...and I'm gonna have to disagree with you, Nutn, is with the sheath. The design is great, but the material Cold Steel uses in their secure ex sheaths dulls the blade...severely.

Just try holding one sometime and u will see what I mean it looks odd but feels great. Take care nuthn keep up the great vids long time subscriber and always will be
I had one of those... Used it for all sorts of things. Got stolen and I've not replaced it. But I need to. Great blade.
I've got a great knife for you to review: Buck Knives Apex, 3-3/4" closed length with a 2-5/8" blade, weighing only 1.7 ounces! I'm hoping for a video on this knife in the future.
Looks like something between Fallkniven F1 and WM1
Great job NUTN , love the vids !!!! thank you
I find this works perfectly as an ultimate camp fixed blade for children
check your local laws! if you want to carry a fixed blade legally you need to have it showing if it is over certain length(check your laws), or you could shorten the blade so it can be concealed legally!

Check out the Gerber Ghost strike too, the sheath makes it better + made in USA!
+ gear fav list
Seems pretty sensible
You want a light small multi use blade? CRKT minimalist.
WOOOO KRV's BABY
hey nutn,
what do you think about cold steels new blade steels like carpenters cts-xhp in combination with the dlc coating (new recon series)??
it‘s like a small F1
How does VG-1 compare with ESEE or Becker's 1095 in terms of toughness?
What are the chances of you putting that on your belt for the next hike in the woods with Ally?
Cool
But I was thinking more $20 to $25 range
Thanks for the video
M8, It's VG1. Things you buy at this price range are like 440C & 8Cr13MoV.
nice patato knife
paused at 0:22 to answer the question: I'm guessing the knife is about 5 inches long.
Correction 1990 Trailmaster in San Mai 3.
I was thinking of this knife for hunting, might be good for dressing out deer.
Love it!!!!
How about the skyline fixed blade?
still cant beat a $3 folding winchester 2.5inch blade i abuse the hell out of it on the construction site never sharpened it and still cuts paper
looks pretty cool and everything but for that size IMO 35$ is too much ...
had it for years. i like it. the sheath could be better for upside down carry and the rubber guard could be reinforced.
i also reviewed it way back
Just ordered this on eBay. 27 bucks!!
LOVE IT
until I saw your Godzilla hands :)
YESSSSS KRV'SSSS!!! My favorite!! :D
Knive Review Video!! :D
Isn't the Izula a better choice ?
Would you do reviews on knifes for free & scuba divers
Love it
Just curious how u sign ur name on blades.
