It's nice to make a video about cheap knifes. We forget they are easier to use. You're not afraid to do what you have to do. And you are not afraid to loose them. ^^ Okay, they are not perfect. That is not some space steel. But it's not some showcases knifes.

Maybe it's a combination of steels, heat treat, blade geometry, and the edge. Personally I like a high carbon steel, with a good heat treat. Bps knifes, esee, cold steel ( older ones ) 1095 with a good heat treat is awesome. 1066 is nice.

I just went through your store and bought the very last one you reviewed by Nieto I just emailed you about getting a small fixed blade and out this Video came. I have the Kizer Smolt in 3v and I’m happy with it so since I trust your reviews I ordered it come July 15-20. I’m still looking for a small fixed blade with Bohler m390 or another super steel. The Ankylo is a very sturdy folding knife. I’m glad you recommended it and I absolutely love that knife. It’s in one of my pockets daily and that Elmax steel is tough, reminds me of my reverse tux padre’ in Vanax steel is a very tough knife and I love it!!

I bought that Kubey chopper based on one of your earlier vids. I intended it to just be a garage beater but I've really taken a liking to it for the around the house chores. Not a fan of the sheath but the knife has been very good, especially for the price. Good for opening packages, breaking down cardboard and has been very good for cutting all the zip ties that those evil toy company bastages use to rivet every toy into the boxes.

Good to see some Holtzmans. I got a Bloodline I think it was called a year or two ago. Baisic camping bushcrafty fixed. Nothing spectacular in 1095 but I love 1095 for something Im gonna baton with a lot. Its been a hell of a knife. Always great to get something well made. Handle feels like it was molded for my hand. And the dude that owns the company is super super nice. But Ive thrown everything at that knife and it can take it. Like it more than my similar Esee. Even got the little Fireline? Forget the name on that too. Which I dont use a ton but have it on the strap of my pack. Just hadnt seen anything about these guys in a bit. Love your channel.

@JAB671Ай бұрын
This video was almost like you read my mind. I usually don't care much for small knives, especially small fixed blades. My state has no restriction on blade length so when I carry a fixed blade 'in public' it is usually a Gerber Prodigy (,the model with no serrations) and no one in my area even bats an eye. I don't know the first thing about knife fighting but feel like a knife such as the Produgy (or an Ontario RAT 5 or TAK 1) are just better tools in case they need to see some harder use. I do sometimes carry my Spyderco Bow River if I want something a little 'less'. However, I am currently looking for a knife to fill a specific niche. I want something I can carry on my weak side in front, crossdraw that I could get to with either hand. I want it to be available in case I need something to help retain my firearm. Like I said, though, I know nothing about knife fighting - it woukd just be for 'get off me' purposes. Also, where I live is pretty low risk so hopefully it would never be needed for that purpose. For those reasons I don't want a super tactical blade like a Clinch Pick, etc. Instead, I want something more like a utility blade that wouldn't be out of place doing EDC stuff but would be available and capable just in case. I also wouldn't want to drop a lot of cash on what I consider to be an 'undersized' blade but in this case I do need a smaller blade so I could comfortably carry it crossdraw out of the way of getting to the other things I carry.. Personally, I like D2 and would prefer it to stainless. I also think the 'Sharpfinger' style is one of the most attractive blade designs. I actually considered just making a custom, crossdraw leather sheath for a Schrade Sharpfinger but with my 'table muscle' I think the thinner scales on the Shark might be better/more comfortable for carry. Then there is that Kwaiken - nothing 'tacticool' about the look but would also likely be a good choice - and at the prices I can get both! I like the look of the Tesca, too, especially as I am looking at this as more of a 'take it out and use it' knife' and like that it would be pretty easy to set any of them up for crossdraw with the factory sheaths. Thanks for the video!
