Just came across your channel, very informative. I’m a US contractor in a Middle East country. I currently EDC a folding knife and use it daily. Just started getting into knife sharpening also. Due to the heat I don’t carry a lot in my pockets and a fixed blade always seemed to big. But WOW I never thought about carrying a small fixed blade. That would be awesome.

Thanks for your great commentary. I transitioned from folders to fixed blades in about 2020-2021 and no way I'm going back. My favorite EDC away from home is the Lionsteel H1. My favorite to carry outdoors at home on my acreage is the Lionsteel T6. I have others that I like, but dang those are great knives. Thanks again. ❤🔪

[@mirkokrizan214]

I wear, due to my disability mostly neck knives for last 6 years. And I have lot of them. The cheapest, but very good one especially for foodprep is Victorinox fruit knife. I wear it in kydex sheath as EDC neck knife and it is awesome knife. It does not look very tactical, the blade is very very small and thin, but it cuts food like no other small knife. If it is apple, slice of bread or opening packages.

[@JoseGarcia-rc9ub]

I think it’s a personal preference but here lately I have been using my fix blade for work. Easy to use grab and opening lots of packages after packages. So this would be a great backup to a very knife needed job. I Could definitely use this knife. Thank you and thanks for your videos, keep them coming.

[@GregGlaeser-j4u]

1095 carbon steel is been around for a while and still very good. That’s the same deal that the K bar Marine Corps knife was made of and still is to this day. Because of the high carbon content, it will hold an edge but needs to be oiled to prevent rust.

[@patriotnurse3720]

I am a nurse that works home health and I like to carry something that will get me out of a jam and to open packages and cut dressings with. I like the thought of a fixed blade I can carry around my neck under my scrubs. Nice knives

I usually EDC 2 knives, Victorinox w/saw, TOPs 4.0 C.U.T. The CUT is by far the most versatile knife I have ever owned. Camp/Hunt/Protection, checks all of the boxes. Fine processor, fine bush craft, excellent protection. Highly recommend.

[@rcjdpt]

I have several smaller fixed blades, but my EDC is the SOG Instinct G10. I wear it as an under shirt neck knife and because it is flat and light weight, I hardly know it's there. For me it's a personal defense item when out at night (no airports or concerts though!). It has great retention with the sleeve, so I'm not worried about it falling out and sticking me. For personal defense, I can get to it in 2 seconds and it's concealed in my hand until I need to use it as a force multiplier. I have used it camping for cutting cords etc, and it's a good utility blade for $40. Thanks for the great video. These look like great fixed blades to add to your collection at several price points.

Speed and ease of access is a major reason to edc a small fixie. Got into EDC fixie's around 16 years ago or so when I almost shortened my index finger by half when I was playing with a Cold Steel Vaquero Grande. Been carrying a blade on me since 1971 when I earned my first cub scout folder. For the last 2 years I've been carrying a Creely Mako in magnacut, a weird looking little blade but my all time favorite edc knife. It has a hummingbird shaped grip that melts into your hand and a leather pocket sheath with an ulticlip that you don't even feel in your pocket. It is on the pricey side though. It does daily duty on a small ranch in the 4 corners, holds an edge forever, very slicy. I do carry an Esee Izula 2(very similar profile with a so so handle) and a Tkell Bushman as well when I'm in the fields for the more beater tasks but the Mako is always on me wherever I go. If I were new to fixies, the Esee Izula 2 and the Esee 3 would be good places to start. Very good blades, great bulletproof warranty and inexpensive. Just get the black oxide finish or the S35VN versions, I really don't like the coating on their 1095 steels, it's like heavy grit sand paper (can be removed with paint stripper and vinegar patina'd if you prefer 1095). Other than that you can't go wrong with Esee.

[@bugnout23e]

I started carrying both about 4 years ago and it's been a nice change. And have even swapped my folder with a multi tool pocket clip. The crkt minimalist scout Carry and any folder is what I run my folders are used for work and abuse and the fixed it's for more precise use . Farmer and mechanic is my background.

[@slip0n0fall]

My hangup with EDCing a fixed blade is the clumsiness and relatively slow speed getting it back into the sheath. In some environments the discreteness of a folder, quick out, use, quick back in the pocked is needed. If I could find a sheath/carry solution that made this quick, maybe even possible blind, that'd be awesome!

[@outdoorsythings2573]

Everything is a trade-off. Some times finding the right sheath is more important then the blade. A good sheath can cost more then the knife. Think of it like a hunting rifle. A scope can and alot times cost more then the rifle but we don't think twice about that. A good sheath is the same. Some very nice leather ones out there with magnets to hold blade in, kydex/leather mixs , kydex. With so many different options on how to clip to a pocket or belt, some sit really low in a pocket and just drop right in. Good custom sheaths can cost a few hundred, but we'll worth it. Almost worth buy 2 of the same knifes at that point in case one breaks then still have another knife to go in that pricey sheath.

[@EDCTrashPanda-]

Iv slowly gotten into carrying a fixed blade and I love it , they are more versatile than people think and can have a great look and photo well for Instagram

[@johncartwright243]

I somewhat recently got an ESEE Izula II that I am loving, but I wasn't thrilled with the plastic sheath, didn't hate it, but it wasn't working for me. I ordered a Kydex sheath made specifically for this model from Armatus Carry. The sheath was not cheap, but the knife is well worth the investment. Thanks for the great video!

And if I don't have to purchase a new sheath, it actually makes this knife a pretty damn good deal pricewise....

about 9 years ago I used to carry a crkt obake that I LOVED. I carried it for about 95 percent self defense and the occasional box opening when I didnt have my utility folder (Kershaw Blur, which I still have.) I lost it somehow, maybe it was stolen, maybe it was lost during a move, but crkt no longer made it by that time. Just last week I ordered a new one on ebay. for a field use knife in the bushcraft realm, I look for full tang and a decent thickness.

I've been carrying the Kizer Baby every single day since I got it about 6 months ago. I love being able to carry it outside the waistband next to my belt buckle for easy access and having it gives me peace of mind when walking back from uni classes later in the evening (my building is in a not so fantastic area). It obviously also comes in handy during the day, surprisingly often when doing any sort of lab work for my courses. I also carry it on a back pack strap when I go hiking on weekends. That Oden Wolf reminds me of the Mora Eldris with it's fat handle but more precise blade (funny that you said it too after i typed this) It looks like it would make a fantastic camping edc or hiking back up!

[@jacoolivier]

Only thing that pickles me a bit is the fact that it is D2, not because I'm worried about the heat treat so much, but because I live near the ocean so it would get some rust pretty quickly.

I’ve been carrying a fixed blade in my pocket for a couple years, I don’t use a pocket clip… I put the sheath on a length of bead chain which I put around my neck only when using the knife for extended periods.

It’s fantastic for what it is for the price, I’ll leave it at that. I think D2 gets a bunch of wrap from all the Chinese OEM knives that use it, it’s just everywhere. And it’s not the crucible stuff like benchmade uses. I still think for the money, it holds a decent edge.

You’re absolutely correct - D2 is a pretty awesome budget option when done correctly. And $20 for the Odenwolf? Sold. I was so impressed I bought 3 or 4 for my brother-in-laws for Christmas already.

the odenwolf mini is so sick its a game changer for me, so comfortable in hand and a great multi purpose concealed knife. the sheathe and clip are perfect too, i take Odenwolf over Morakniv.
