Dawson handyman, TKell combatant or piranha, Winkler sd2, Tijuana Coin hitchhiker, PrimitiveWoodsman guide knife. All amazing makers and amazing edc fixies

I haven't been up there in many many moons but White River knives is out of my little home town Fremont, MI (it's also 'famous' for Gerber baby food). They've got a few really cool knives, including that backpacker, I'd love to get my mits on some day.

[@chrismcnair8691]

Just picked up an m1 backpacker in black g10 today, it feels perfect in my hand. I also handled that Pro-tech SBR. Sweet little knife if you can find one. Solvang Knives had one but it was a bit pricey for me.

[@bubba92473]

Really so not a fix blade user or buyer Mr Stassa but always appreciate your picks and reviews

[@nateand3]

And even though I love fixed blades, I can appreciate the gratitude and support you took time to show.

[@devinciification]

Glad you like the Orc :) thanks for reviewing it! Those are now out of production.

[@nateand3]

One of each please. Lol Awesome video man. I love pocket knives and fixed blades,,,especially ones this size. Or big ones. Or in between ones. Or fat ones. Or skinny ones....i just friggin love em

[@lionknives3]

That was great to watch! Thanks Nick. My favorite is the White River backpacker and to be honest, all of them are my favorites.

[@anthonyp7051]

ESSE has something for all task. Was no mistake I fell hard over their 6 model. Was my 1st “real blade” buy. It’s my goal to have them all and it’s been an adventure all it’s own getting there.

[@Stassa23]

They make an excellent fixed blade and one of the best warranties in the business 👌🏻

[@doejon9424]

That Creely Blades Mako looks very ergonomic friendly! Therfore it's a favorite. Also the Bradford Guardian 3 & ESEE Izula II are absolute classics ! I love my ESEE knives, plus they have the best warranty in the business, unmatched by *Any* other knife manufacturer.

[@taylorhickman84]

Currently on the list for a Mako in magnacut, but wish I could get in in K390

[@nsmturbo5902]

I'm a lover for fixed blades, thanks!

[@sunbunbradley]

I carry aWINKLER belt knife , and a TOOR darter in Ranger Green! Fixed blade only They are both dangerously sharp , and I keep them that way! 4 November 2021 I just opened a knife that my wife ordered for me , and it is a TOOR field 2.0 and it is another EDC it is perfect. Now I have 2 knives made by TOOR . They are my favorite knives . Thank you TOOR !!!

[@tigerpisces5506]

Toor knives, you must be rich. A $50 knife gives me a nose bleed.

[@tincansailor9437]

An option I enjoy is my Bestech Heidi Blacksmith #1 with micarta handles. It's petite for sure, but very well made and disappears in the back pocket. I keep it there with an UltiClip on the included Kydex sheath. I got mine for $90 at White Mountain Knives. They charge less to start and I also applied a 10% discount code.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

I've got a Busse custom shop drop point in Elmax. I was lucky to get my ticket drawn for a raffle to buy it at Blade Show Atlanta about 6 years ago. A fellow who came over to see it told me to get a kydex sheath for it from a maker across the aisle. Glad I listened. He took the knife home and mailed it back within a month. Best kydex sheath I own. The knife is so good I still grin like an idiot every time I pull it out to use.

[@daveglarner2138]

I'm in love with that White River Sendero. I've wanted one for a while, but never seem to pull the trigger. My older White River came with a pretty bad kydex sheath too. I figured I just had bad luck, but after seeing this, I guess it's how they are.

[@Stassa23]

Yeah the Sendero is a excellent slicer and the handle is very comfortable, I just wish the kydex sheath would be as good as the backpacker’s sheath 👌🏻

[@BuffaloNickel9]

@@Stassa23 Stass, one year later are you still loving the White River Sendero? Did you do the Paracord wrap with all the looping and swooping that thing looks like an ergonomic dream.. I would never change the Paracord for scales.

[@matthewadler1329]

This was AWESOME! thanks so much Stassa. I think that Flashpoint is gonna look good with some wear

[@coobay4786]

I'm with you on that Jerry Fisk it's a great looking knife. On another note I broke off the tip of my Patriot (1/16") sent back to L.T.Wright and asked if they could regrind it and said I didn't mind if it's a little shorter. To my surprise they sent me a new one at no charge. Now that's a warranty.

[@Deibodese]

Thanks for pointing out that the Guardian3 comes in 3V! I’ve carried an Izula daily for over a year, but as much as I love it I just get too disappointed with how poorly it sliced. I was eyeing the Guardian3, but I was worried that it wouldn’t tolerate the kind of abuse that 1095 can. The 3V model totally settles that debate for me!

[@chimchu3232]

Agreed, I'm in a similar situation. I love the izula for a hard use knife, but It's not the best performing for lighter edc tasks. I'm looking at a guardian 3 in m390, heard the edge retention was better and the profile of the knife makes it a lot slicier

[@williamsmith5429]

Beater or slicer in most cases u need to take your pick. I usually carry a nice thin pocket knive for slicing the izula can take a beating. If u break it esse replace it. The izula u can prob sharpen in nature for 3v or m390 u will need to invest in tools to keep it sharp I like having both

[@butchcassidy3373]

I got a little Black Jack neck knife with cool magnetic leather sheath that I love. Coated 154 cm for 62 dollars six years ago and I use her all time.

[@jaredappleseed7037]

I carry an esse 3, works pretty good for me, I've been looking out/waiting for the right knife to upgrade to

[@JWoodcock]

Nice blade choices man. Thanks for feeding my current knife addiction binge... This week has been fixies. A few of the White River options will probably be showing up at my door some time soon...

[@brianrodman1033]

White River has some really incredible looking knives. I try not to look at them too often though due to the price and the fact that I would be likely to find one I can’t live without. Bought a used Bench Made Hidden Canyon Hunter a while back (almost 2 years ago now). I've been really pleased with it. It has been my favorite overall fixed blade knife that I’ve owned, which probably has a lot to do with the compact size that doesn’t feel out of place to carry on a daily basis. Great fit in my hand, very sturdy construction, and it all but disappears when I carry it on my belt. I dont think the sheath is stock but it has a very snug retention and the scout carry position works really well for the knife. Still haven’t found my ideal full sized fixed blade knife yet. Not in a hurry though as I wouldn’t end up getting as much use out of it. I would likely only carry something full sized when in the woods/mountains where the utility of a full sized blade would be really useful and practical. Im really beginning to favor compact fixed blade knives over my usual Spyderco Delica. Speaking of Spyderco they have a newish compact fixed blade knife that Ive been checking out. Its on the affordable end of the spectrum and pretty thin through the handle, so convenient to carry but not a workhorse by any means.

[@randyf.9188]

I keep the Izula 2 in my truck. I think my next one will the Backpacker Pro with micarta.

[@kerrykitterman9714]

Great 👍 video. Love my benchmade Hidden canyons .I've got wood and G 10 versions. Also the the folder versions northfork . Hidden canyon should have. Made the list to. Begin With.!!✌👍

[@ssunfish]

Definitely got a lot of knives to check out now! You put Jackdaw and indeed RMJ on my radar!!! WOW! Can't thank you enough!

[@ssunfish]

I just got Koster WSS wanting something as good or better than LT Wright because I cannot source those! Your video opened my eyes! It makes a difference being able to go to Blade??? The last one SP Sasquatch and the Creeley Mako seem tight! Pride in making them better and doing as much as possible. Other knives in this video I feel you could say the same about. I'm disappointed in WSS, but luckily your video came into my life and there's hope I can get a fixed blade EDC that has a lot of pride in it! I love your video here! Esp the comments. I EDC Esse CR 2.5 , TOPS Custom shop Ute and Allen Jensen Bird and Trout knife.. just got WSS and Classic Freedom which dwarfs my EDC fixed blades! I tried CRKT Carson F-4 but it's a even smaller knife than I'm already using.

[@johnwoyurka5373]

My favorite edc fixed blades are the boker ak daily, the bark river bravo edc, the battle horse knives small workhorse. I'm looking at the battle horse knives woodsman I think it's called.

[@jusme8060]

Hinderer knives just seems like a spell or something. They just seem meh but people pay anything for them. I think they just put a rumor out there that people think they're cool and it worked.I just don't see it personally. I'd go for that ferrum forge if they were both the same price. All the other knives are badass! Thanks for the awesome vid

[@janjimpson240]

I have two guardian 3s (3v full flat and N690 false edge) as well as a guardian 4 (3v). I'm very pleased with them but those corners you mentioned really bothered me so I had to knock them down, the other gripe I have is the sheaths. They work but the kydex ones are much better in my opinion

[@adamedwards2261]

Would you ever trade or sell one of your Bradford’s?

[@grominwithrob1339]

I have a bunch of Bradford guardians in Magnacut and have been super happy with there performance but I have been really thinking about a White River though. They are made about 60 miles from my house so I want to support my neighbors.

I'm going to spring for the Bradford Guardian & Kubey Aiden fixed sheepsfoot blades. I like all of these, as well. I'm a sucker for Wharncliffe, Sheepsfoot, reverse tantos and the like. I do a lot of carving on walking staffs. I'm loving my CRKT SPEW & Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake designed by Mike Emler. It's an X-acto knife on steroids. The tip doesn't brake under pressure.

The Sasquatch is on a whole Nother level it is awesome. Mine is in M4 at 64-66 HRC And I’ve only had to sharpen it once I just strop it after I use it and it still will shave 👌🏻

You've got a heck of a expensive knife collection. Some really nice stuff there. The one I have that is comparable in size to the ones you show in this video is the BK&T Kabar Eskabar with the 1095CV steel. I put Essee Izula scales on it and that really made the knife so much better. It is my smallest edc fixed blade belt knife.
