5 AWESOME EDC Fixed Blades You're Going To Want

[@albertoa.rodriguez-toro3277]

I’m so pumped I got selected! You are correct about Null Knives. The raiden is ti frame lock on bearings and made by reate. I’m a sucker for harpoon blade style and this has been an awesome carry! I’d checkout his other designs the voodoo and grace they are pretty cool!

[@anchorass]

Awesome carry! I snagged a stonewashed Raiden in the last drop and I love it.

[@bigidesign]

Awesome! Another great video man. Thanks for the love

[@TheAngelofDeath78]

I'm a pretty heavy dude and love appendix carry for my knife. Even my Esee 4 carries well there and I can get to it immediately. Highly recommend it on the opposite side of your pistol if you appendix your weapon.

[@Genesis992]

I don’t typically get in to fixed blades, but the Boker Arbolito Farkas Nomad is my one and only fixed blade, and I absolutely love it

[@rogercrouch5866]

I'm on the fix blade kick too . Thank you for sharing . Great video !

[@safromnc8616]

Based on what you have there I would recommend taking a look @ TKell knives as well as Winkler (& both are somewhat local for you). My fave is a Winkler neck knife called the Zipper (maybe ?) w/an etching of Grandfather Mtn. As I recall, they did like 4 different 'scenes' on those guys. Not sure they are still in production.

[@austcorn]

Tactile Turn has a bolt-action pencil too if you're interested

[@Fueueiwncndjw]

Thanks for everything you do man!

For those looking for an easy pocket sheath for small fixed blades..... 1. Buy an MKM pocket slip (made for folding knives so not cut resistant). 2. Line the inside seams with resin (I like UV so I can harden it when I like the position where the resin has settled). Then bam, that's it. Easy pocket sheath with cut resistant seams. Easily slips into a pocket, over a belt, on waist bands, etc. The strong magnets inside help keep the blade from moving around as well. Will fit a good amount of edc size fixed blades (generally less than abour 3.25", not too slim not too wide) to include an izula.

You should do a update on this. Thanks and love this channel

[@ewakingwood]

I've been EDCing a Isula 2 quite often... great knife and very affordable and best of all, if anything happens, Esee has the best warranty in the business! I'm curious why you don't like scout carry (either front OR back) Taylor? I scout carry in the front using pull the dot straps... works great and low profile

[@alexserna760]

I'm getting my Tops El pionero soon hopefully you get one to review

[@mudinmyeye2881]

I want that shirt!!

[@TheMaroney]

I love my olights especially for the price. Their customer service is awesome. I beat the hell out of my gear and my Olights have never failed..... Yet.

[@aidenwade3891]

Hell yeah. I (poor_man_edc) have been watching for a few years now and this is the first time I’ve made it in to a video. This just made my weekend.

[@FightorFlightLeatherworks]

I am getting in to leatherwork and making holsters and such. If you have any interest in me trying to make a sheath for you, let me know!

[@adrianalejo5374]

I recently got into edc and I will submit my simple edc and work edc :)

[@BloodyMeridianM8]

I want to get a pen that uses multiple types of ink replacements I didn’t even know that was a thing, but that’s awesome

[@npenick66]

Pocket sheaths are great but I frequently need to access a knife while in the sitting or crouching position so its cross draw on the front of the belt for me. I didn't want a knife that would obviously print from under a T shirt, so the knife had to be small and bullet proof. Carried an Esee Izula 2 in 1095 for many years until recently when I upgraded to a Creely Mako in magnacut. Creely is one of those knife steel nerds who uses a lot of new or exotic steels. The Mako comes with a great leather pocket sheath with a ulticlip but I had a cross draw kydex sheath made for it. The Mako is a great blade, I highly recommend it. The handle looks a little weird at first but it just melts into your hand, very good ergonomic's. The difference in steel is very noticeable as well, the magnacut has gone 5 months of daily use with just one stropping. I still carry a skeletonized Izula 1 on a paracord dangler in my offhand pocket as a backup for the extra dirty jobs (had some fence wire wrap around an axle on my side by side, had to pry and cut it out). I do have my eye on a Lionsteel M2M for my next purchase, I hear good things about their blades. Looks like a heck of a knife in M390 but I'll still carry the Mako as my daily driver.

[@johnstaton4302]

Hey buddy don't get me wrong I've been been making knifes & sheaths for long while nothing fancy & far from perfect, but any guy or gal knife maker that can make a blade then making a sheath for said knife shouldn't be a problem I find it quite enjoyable. 👍👍

[@erxguy]

Have you seen or do you have experience with the NRS titanium pilot knife? It’s a titanium fixed blade, that my work uses regularly, and I can’t believe it hasn’t been picked up by the EDC community, the sheath is quality, belt friendly and ejects the blade handle into your hand when you hit the release..

[@Dan-np9lj]

The Fordite in the Bilgewater Blades knife is a first for me. So cool! For those who may not know, Fordite is not a real stone. It is petrified paint dug up around the old Ford plants around Michigan. Americana at its finest. Bilgewater Blades is new to me. I’ll be sure to check them out.

[@donalddicorcia2433]

There’s a bunch of that in north Jersey as well. Seems they were dumping their paint sludge in an old iron mine. Really messed up the ground water.

[@danielbrowne8044]

I wish we could carry a fix blade here in the UK, they’re so cool. I don’t have any use for one daily but I just like them!

[@danjorissen]

Hey Taylor I have watched ur channel since the original one, figure it's time to chime in. I love everything u do here, keep it up man!!! I also love fixed blades and hate scout carry. I been runnin kydex sheaths with rivets along the spine of the blade and found that u can use carabiner in the rivets and slide those through the belt. It's like a sort of horizontal danger system. I got the idea from the way vikings wear their seax knife.

[@ronfry5851]

Awesome job Taylor Martin😊

[@chrisoneill325]

I *always* carry a fixed blade. Used to EDC my Esee 3, scout carry with soft loops. The handle would always get caught on things and it would always feel off balance on my belt. Currently I carry a Bradford G3 Sheepsfoot in a Kydex sheath, at a 45° angle on my right kidney with a Tek-lok. I find this to be my favorite way to carry a fixed blade. The handle doesnt get caught on things, and it's more easily accessible than scout carry, IMO. Soon I'll be swapping in my new G3.2, once I receive the Kydex sheath. I'll probably set it up just like my current G3. Not a huge fan of Bradford's horizontal leather sheaths, personally.

[@AverageJoe_pewpew]

One of the most underrated knives is the American Buffalo fixed blade. I carried every day for EDC.

[@michaelandrew8493]

I always carry a fixed and then have a folder as a back up. right now i rock the protect sbr fixed with the chris reeves small sebenza 31 with magnacut steel and black micarta inlays

[@Gluten-FreeEDC]

Epic lineup. The chikadee (I think he omits the “c”) is what really got me into small fixed blades. Easily the best discreet fixed blade in my opinion. Wyatt over at Bilgewater is amazing. I hope to have a review of one up on my channel down the line (though that won’t be for some time admittedly!). Great video man!

[@destro6971]

If you want a small fixed blade with a great in the pocket sheath I really love my Creely Mako. He also goes wild with steel varieties from time to time

[@burkkeyturkkeyturkkeyburkk89]

What should I go with for a click pen big idea or tactile turn?

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

I’ve realized with okluma, the warranty and customer service alone are worth the money. ANY issues you have with their lights, send it back and they will fix it.

[@Sanchito209]

For my izulla 2 I went with a RK customs (ETSY) taco style kydex sheath ($27) Added a ulticlip. pocket carry works perfectly.

[@1977NOBODY]

Got a Wesn fixed blade on order…..Hasn’t released yet and it will be my first fixed blade👍🏻I like Wesn’s Allman and microblade……I got 2 each of those knives.

[@Glorfindel_117]

Scout carry on the front (actually called appendix carry) shouldnt have the handle facing your hip. If you're left handed, the knife should be on your right side (hence the appendix name) with the handle facing toward your crotch. That way you can draw it with your main hand in a normal grip, or draw it with the offhand with a reverse grip. It's structurally stronger than having it on your hip (for your biomechanics, like elbow positioning, etc) so it's VASTLY harder for someone to prevent you from drawing the knife, and even if they do get control of your arm, you can simply move your hips back to draw the blade if you have a grip on the handle. Also if you get pinned by falling objects or something, you can draw it with either arm to cut yourself loose or something. Scout carry refers to it on the small of your back, with the handle facing outward like you mentioned. I like it for massive knives or daggers like Kabars because it keeps them *totally* out of the way while not in use, and it's basically the only option that allows you to sit down.

Dude. You should do another booshie Cary again. I love to see those $850 knife beads 🤣🤣🤣. But seriously. I’ve probably watched your videos like that 5-6 times each.

To Jonathan looking for a watch under $200. Look at the BRS xx121 it's an amazing watch looks great and is just under that $200 mark it has just about everything you could want!

[@Frank-ss6py]

I edc my Carothers Proformance knives UF2 which is a 6inch long fixed blade knife made out of delta 3V which is a heat treatment process brought to you by the insane genius Nathan the machinist I wholeheartedly recommend any of the knives in the CPK line up although a dek 2 might just be the perfect fixed blade edc knife imo

[@justinfaller5910]

How much did the UF2 cost?

[@Frank-ss6py]

@@justinfaller5910 $350 USD

What is the best cheapest EDC fix blade that you can recommend that has a Kydex sheath and is easy to put in your pocket

[@theFoxxx866]

Crkt Minimalist or civivi circulus

[@npenick66]

Look at the Esee Izula or Izula 2. Very tough knives with an idiot proof warranty for a very low price. I carry one on a paracord dangler in my pocket. Tie the paracord through the tip of the injection molded sheath that comes with the knife, measure the length of the cord so that you can put a loop that the sheath can pass through on the other end so that you can loop it around your belt or belt loop and have the weight supported by the paracord so it just dangles in your pocket. Just hook the paracord with your thumb to pull the knife and sheath out of your pocket, slide the hand down to draw the knife from the sheath. Easy, one handed operation. Only takes a couple of seconds to put on in the morning too.

[@npenick66]

Forgot to mention, if you do like the Izula I recommend the black oxide finish or the stainless. Esee uses a thick protective coating on their blades that I feel is too thick and rough. The coating makes it a little harder to do fine cutting and will wear off eventually anyhow. If you do get one with the coating and don't like it you can use paint stripper to remove it from the blade area and put a vinegar patina for rust protection. There's plenty of vids here on how to do a vinegar patina but it's easier to just buy the black oxide or stainless finish.
