[@RandallsAdventureESEE]

As always. Thanks for the coverage. We appreciate what you do! Hope you and yours are well!

[@terrychrist1383]

Thank you 😊 God bless you and your family 🙏❣️🐕🐾🐾

[@humantiger72]

I agree completely on the Esee RB3. Total win! I bought the Pathfinder Scorpion XL just before the RB3 came out. Very similar.

[@thenextarcher]

Thanks for sharing. I keep an Esee Izula in my survival kit. When you combine the Izula with a small folding saw you can get some serious tasks done.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for checking it out. Love me the Izula.

[@silverback4434]

Yeah i have the rb3 and it is true its a awesome knife seriously and not too expensive . The 1095 steel is scary sharp and so easy to sharpening . ESEE one of the best outdoor knives brand !

[@thefucrew9865]

That is a very nice collection and description of them. Thank you ! Keep up the great work !!!

[@OrcActual]

Esee 3 in my turnout gear and Esee Izula2 for my EDC. Great knives and great customer service.

[@HeavyForge]

I’m very familiar with 3DK! I live in anchorage. Northern Knives is awesome!

[@Filzkiiz]

YesSiRr!! Very nice and definately Dangerous collection you got Mate!! Awesome stuff!! LoL! Thankz for sharing and showing some of ur stuff!! Much appreciated!!✌

[@100BearPaw]

The Roselli Bear Claw is my favorite full handle with small blade knife. It weight’s less than air, and with the UHC steel, it is truly unbeatable. Use as a neck knife or belt.

[@redbear_70]

I carry my modified esee 3 mil with the new 3D scales. Perfect size for edc and smaller tasks while camping, fishing, etc. Can't go wrong with any esee though.

[@wesleemiller]

Great video.

[@eddielittleii8919]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for watching

[@ironkid8836]

Awesome sheath

[@wesleemiller]

Sweet.

[@raymondward1009]

I’ve got an esse ezula that I’m sure will last a life time but I have 2 $20 Chinese made Bench Mark knives that came with a descent sheath that hooks on my belt-loop. Just a bit under 3” blade so I can carry it legally most anywhere. It’s been hanging on my belt-loop for years and very few people have even noticed it. If I see a sign that prohibits knives I’ll leave it in the car or my company truck. It’s stainless so it’s very hard to sharpen but it holds an edge quite well. I abuse it regularly but seldom have to sharpen it, I found the best way to sharpen it is with my over-sized kitchen hone! That’s the only short fixed blade knives I own (besides my kitchen knives).

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I haven't seen one of your videos in a long time. I recall that you always liked a compact belt knife in addition to larger blades and for most tasks.

[@wesleemiller]

Cool.

Lots of (in fact all :)) nice knives - I change the Izula for the Izula II - I change the Esee RB3 for the Esee PR-4 (but change the original scales for G10 at TKC, not good !) or a Tops Bob Thx for discoreving 3 Dog Knife Riot, unknown for me

[@itywhat6499]

I have several small knives like you. My favorite is the White River M1 Caper. I found it in a little shop in Castle Rock, Colorado, and fell in love with it as soon as I held it. Second is my TOPS MSK 2.5. I don't own an Izula but it is on my future list of knives to try out.

[@blakefrancisboggs7526]

The white river caper almost melts into your hand, I want one.

[@ironkid8836]

Have the izula just got a brisa necker in scandi have a few smaller knives but the ratmandu is the one for me

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

a few of these were already on my wish lists. I wear a Folts minimalist as a necker every day, I have the eldris, but havent really used it much. I did a video on it, where I was a bit harsh, but it is a decent blade, just didn't fit in most of my needs. I have it in the fire kit in my emergency 72 hour kit. ( it throws wicked sparks off of a ferro rod) if I ever get the funds, there are a couple of the Tops, and Esees that I really want to add to my gear. If I do gt an Izula, I want the Izula II, because I prefer the scales to skeletonized.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Folts is a solid one.

[@originalzo3873]

Sog instinct ... soooo underrated

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

The ESSE CR2.5 looks like a great knife to me. I have been after a slim one like that.

[@redbear_70]

They'll be coming out with a new cr 3.0 soon also.

[@BLASTER-vb5wu]

What a great review!! What type of sheath comes with the 2.5 Tops?? Do you prefer leather or plastic type sheaths??

[@ronnag13]

I think you have the scales on that one izula mounted backwards...

[@DamionJR4923]

I have the Esee RB3 but always loves the looks of the Tops Taninboca Puukko. In your opinion does the Tops provide you anything that the Esee doesn’t. Love your channel and I love small fixed blades.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Very very similar. If I had one I wouldn’t get the other

[@Mike-id8gu]

First, I've enjoyed this video and particularly like your selection of knives and emphasis on pairing them on a system. [Hint: systems would make for a great video suggestion.] Second, please show every sheath each knife comes with. This can definitely sway a final decision on whether to purchase a knife or not. Finally, excellent pace/cadence to this video!

[@preppinainteasy9965]

Love the Izula ,The Izula2 for me is a better fit handle wise..I have both and the newer xancudo fixed in s35vn...Definitely hit me up if your ready to part with that falcon..Sale or trade I have more knives than sense...lol

[@paulmphoto]

Great video! I was a little sad the zancundo did not make list. I really like mine for woods EDC. It could use more time on youtube!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Agreed. Great knife. That one is coming out in a bush craft bag video I’m working on :-)

[@paulmphoto]

@@EverydayTacticalVids Thanks buddy looking forward to the video.

[@uselessfactz3657]

Check the bps knives from ukraine scady grind worth a look at.

[@krbrandman]

I know it's designed as a hunting knife, but have you ever tried the Buck 113 Ranger Skinner?

[@patriceb26]

Bonjour So which one is the best ?

[@FedexFedez]

Cual es el cuchillo que sale en el minuto 7:12 no consigo verle marca y no está en la descripción....muchas gracias

[@gordonterry199]

Condor over tops

[@Pono324]

cr2.5 or msk2.5 if you could only have one?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Call screwed options but I’d go with the CR 2.5.

[@DoomOfConviction]

Vg10 is a Japanese kitchen steel prone to chipping if you use it hard. Idk how you can use it outdoors, thousands of broken tips on Fällknivens which are used the first time are the evidence and the company didn’t even acknowledge the failure and let the customers alone for their fault of using crappy kitchen steel and spyderco uses it too.. I hope they help the customer if they dare to use the crap steel.

[@lostlune]

only one mora on here ?

[@SupermanBB]

1 too many

[@redbear_70]

@@SupermanBB I agree, especially the eldris.
