20 Best USA Made EDC Fixed Blades

[@tj.schwarz]

I can't thank you enough for your continued appreciation of the Overland Sport. It really means a lot!

[@chrisoneill325]

I really need to pull the trigger and order an Overland or Overland Sport. Great looking knives, TJ!

[@blackhogarth4049]

I have one and I love it! You're a great knife smith, TJ!

[@mrdoughface]

I'm angling to order one up for my summer trip. The shape is exactly what I want and need. Hope you continue to find success.

[@Madman6505]

I love mine!

[@sethgrasser3057]

Just received my overland sport! It's an awesome edc knife that was well worth the wait. Thinking about getting the confidante

Hi Knives by Nuge. I’m on the get notified list but by the time I get notified my Wickets are gone. Is it because I live on the west coast?

[@MechanicMitch]

Dude I’ve been watching your edc and fixie videos for a while now and I could NEVER decide on one…until I bit the bullet and went with the “safest” bet I could think of, the Izula 2 (warranty, ruggedness, aftermarket support) Thank you for your videos showing so many options

[@stuartrollings602]

Love the TKell knives and that little Piranha can be ordered with a ring as well! Also TJs Overlands are amazing blades! Great job on your list! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱⚔️

[@Damen0530]

For me the Creely Mako was the biggest surprise, lightweight, small-but extremely ergonomic. Don't sleep on this blade if you can find one!...The Unita is a close 2nd for me.

[@blondhairblackstrat]

Oooh! Like that Hogue (Extract?). My kinda' pocket carry!

Hey Stassa, some great knives on your list! Give Jakeb Creates Hail Mary a shot. I think you will love it.

[@collectorman7]

J'utilise le White River Gti3 , et je tourne avec aussi avec le M1pro ou le Guardian 3 , ce sont mes meilleurs fixes . Je viens de commander un Buck scout Alpha élite que j'attends avec impatience maintenant . Superbe vidéo ☺️👍

[@Voledc]

I have a few I rotate as edc. Esee 4 s35vn, Izula s35vn, Viper Koi, Spartan blades alala, enyo Bradford 3 3d in a kydex sheath Demko armiger 4

[@Stassa23]

Nice rotation 👌

[@Voledc]

@Stassa23 everybody and there brother does reviews. I think you do the best. Keep up the good work.

[@chronovore3726]

The Rainier Fastpak is a great little knife. For Bradford, the 3.5 is a little bigger but feels great in my hand. Check out David Mary when you get a chance.

[@chazlyle41]

Great video, thanks! Would be cool to see a best “most states legal” knives list for those who travel a lot!

[@Stassa23]

As far as fixed blades or folders? I can definitely try to put something together

[@mattdagger1480]

The overland sport is by far the front runner. Everyone else is just trying to catch up.

[@user-Bladewalker]

😮great knives. I have never carried fix blade but that's going to change

[@staceyroberts9177]

Really appreciating the CRKT SPEW I recently purchased for twenty-five bucks. No, the steel is not the greatest but I enjoy maintaining and sharpening my knives so this is not an issue for me. Very handy due to its mode of carry, which is neck carry. I don’t need to fish around in my pocket or disengage a retention feature on a sheath. It’s right there near my hands when I need it. I guess I like the knife so much because it is designed for neck carry and there isn’t a better piercer on the market. Maybe a review on neck carry knives is in order.

[@katanasmith]

You are one of or maybe my most trusted reviewers. I was a knife maker and Martial artist for many years. Like you I am dealing with physical difficulties. My case, neuropathy which has robbed me of strength and dexterity but I am not dead yet. Try to send my theme song you may relate to.

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

Honestly I really like the thick blade stock on those Terra knives. I've been getting more into thicker chunkier blades lately, with pocket carry intended.

[@collectorman7]

Magnifique , belle collection de petits fixes EDC , par contre , certaines marques devraient penser à faire des pouch plus qualitatifs , belle vidéo 👍

[@kathleensmith370]

I like the CKRT Minimalist- I know its not on your list

[@roostershooter76]

You probably don't realize this, but a majority of the knives you listed were made by Millit Manufacturing, and Rebranded by a private company posing as a "Maker". The knife world is swamped with "Makers" that don't make their own blades, but simply contract Millit to make their design. White River Knives does some of this also, for other companies. It's getting to be a problem in the knife community, and you really have to dig to find out who really manufactures the knives you buy. Your "Number 1" by Schwarz Knives is an perfect example of this. That blade design is used by several "makers" and can even be found on Amazon under generic brands made in China.

[@tj.schwarz]

TJ Schwarz here. We make the Overland Sport in our own shop. I sharpen every single one myself.

[@shaunweiss9484]

​@@tj.schwarzthank you for setting this straight. I believed him because you assume people know what they're talking about.

[@miguellodeiro9671]

I Really like these fast paced mini reviews you make. To the point and useful, not wasting any time (wich is common here in tha Tube). Thanks.

[@cemetarygates2800]

Bradford 3.2 all day everyday.

[@chrisoneill325]

Agreed. Though I do prefer the G3 Sheepsfoot (same handle shape of the 3.2).

[@acid6urns]

personally the 3.5 is a better knife. better ergos to me and it comes in some awesome steels, tho magnacut is good i like high edge stability tool steels like rex45, cruwear, and vanadis 4e tho these are all exclusives. but GPknives has the rex45 and vanadis 4e knives for under $160 which is a killer deal

[@chrisoneill325]

@@acid6urns I respect the choice. I tried a 3.5 a while ago and just never felt comfortable holding it. To each his own 🤷‍♂️ I hope they start offering the 3.2 in different steels, besides m390 and Magnacut. The G3 does also come in those same steels you mentioned, with varying availability. I'm thinking next purchase will be a G3 Sheepsfoot in Cru-Wear.

[@acid6urns]

@@chrisoneill325 i know the guardian 3 is not available in vanadis 4e anymore, and i’m fairly certain the guardian 3 in 3v also isn’t available as far as i’m aware. but bradford’s stuff in general is one of the best bang for your buck edc fixed blades there is, it’s hard to beat a 3.5in fixed blade with something like rex45/cruwear/3v/v4e etc for under $200.

[@yogibro6442]

I've been wanting something like that in 4v

[@Errcyco]

That purple marbled Kydex sheath one is sick.. I’ve never seen that.

[@darrenlandis3510]

I just found your channel while looking for if there were any blades made in the USA [very new to the fixed blade world]. I live near a very large knife in Intercourse, Pa and only ever bought knives for cooking.

[@scrick7112]

Excellent top 20. But Stassa, where is the LTWright Patriot? Pokey, Pokey!

[@halfbreed02]

[@michelleailan22]

If you had to choose a hiking knife to carry on day hikes which one would you choose out of the WR M1, WR Ursus Cub, Uinta Hunter V2 or Schwarz Overland Sport?

[@Stassa23]

Me personally for a day hike Knife I would go with the Overland sport, then the Uinta

[@rona6279]

Love my Creely Mako as well. Great knife, I’ve had mine for a couple of years now. Found another great pocket carry fixed blade at GAOS, Battle Horse Knives out of Cambridge, OH. Small family business, great leather and kydex sheaths as well.

[@richardvirchow3390]

A great variety of good looking knives. I enjoy your knife review videos.

[@sturdy762]

Have you tried the BM Hidden Canyon Hunter in S90V? It's more of a hunting/ skinning knife, but after holding one, I think it's a great size and can easily double as an EDC fixie.

[@willblake72]

A few of these I can definitely cosign and a couple others I'm jealous of LOL (especially that scandi Mako, I have two but they're flat ground). Great collection.

[@dfgerherbduh3102]

As someone with tiny hands, I like the three finger knives as they fit my hands perfectly

[@reinaldodelgado8370]

I love the White River M1, and I do carry it almost every day. What is the name of the first one did not make it? Thank you

[@wgkincheloe2458]

That overland sport I think may be the most interesting to me. Torn between it and the MKM Makro 2 or Viper Berus sheepsfoot. Thanks!

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

That Tkell piranha is very promising, I absolutely love knife companies that give you an option to add a finger loop especially for pocket carry I love being able to index with a finger loop I've become nuts with those things. I recently picked up a Tops C.U.T 40 for horizontal belt carry and absolutely love the thing! Currently it's definitely my favorite knife I've got a nice collection going but that particular knife it just hits every button it's a little chunkier but I like it and it's coating is almost a rough like rhino lining if you will but very nice feels very good I've never slipped it's just solid. Can I put all my knives to work so I really like things that are thicker blade stock and chunkier these days I haven't broken a knife in years but I have busted a couple of tips over the years and I just want something that's practically a sharpened pry bar with a finger loop for that beautiful indexing 😂.

[@eugeniovaldez7205]

Awesome video and super cool collection

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

How you feel about the Ursus Cub now?? Can't wait to get my hands on one!!✊️🔥✌️💚

[@whisper8742]

You really need to put names in the screen or timestamp them or something...

[@acid6urns]

man the more i hear about the hogue extrak the more i want one. maybe next time i have the extra money i’ll pick it up. also with the lt wright knives if you like them but can’t find them in stock, you could look into battle horse knives. they both worked together at the start and then split, so they basically make the same designs with slight differences in steel and a few design specs.

[@mikereese15]

Man those are some amazing looking blades. I won a knifemodders revenant off bladebinge and its awesome.
