Top 10 Hidden Gems: EDC Fixed Blades Under $100!

[@charlesstultz1879]

Love these EDC fixed budget lists

[@attic42]

You're my favorite knife reviewer. Thank you for all that you do.

[@StillLurkin]

I really need a super affordable one for safety. Price is a must.

[@michaelyang9994]

Thanks for the reviews Stassa! Been looking at some of these knives on this list!

[@Aa-ron22]

I wasn’t into fixed blades until I watched your channel and you got me into them

[@wtpence4731]

Great video ! Keep them coming!

[@tuzu1758]

Great review. Steady hand on those cuts. Good price ranges covering a lot of hard use styles. Keep'em coming.

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Love EDC fixxies 🔥

[@BladesOnABudget]

Great reviews. Love to see these affordable & EDC friendly knives that we don’t see very often. Thanks!

[@leviweaver1058]

Just ordered a watchman w205 to try out. Thanks for the videos

[@idontatalya242]

Glad to see that the two Watchman "homages" were as high up on your list as they were, because I've had both of those (and probably the others you still have to test) on my list. Also wanted a Bowtie as soon as I saw the initial release, but not a coated blade fan, so looking forward to your thoughts on the satin one!!

[@mikep3043]

Last watchman is my favorite

[@timjk32]

the twosuns cool its like a fixed sodbuster

[@flapxjackson]

Good to see that the Watchman W206 is back in stock. The last time I checked it was sold out. Also, you’re not the first one to sing this blade’s praises. I have a drop point CRK Nyala. But I never got around to picking up one in the Insingo blade shape. It rubs me the wrong way to be buying an obvious clone. But since CRK discontinued the knife, I’m left with few options. It’s rare to see Nyalas on the secondary market. It’s been months since I’ve seen a listing. And if you do see a listing, they’re double the original retail price. I don’t want one that bad.

[@flapxjackson]

P.S. Thanks for featuring fixed blades. You’re one of the few channels that I’ve found that reviews fixed blades.

[@keithfreeman4205]

I was able to find the Mini Harpoon on Amazon with a kydex sheath. Really like this knife.

[@Oneoneone111One]

I just received the kydex replacement for mine from kizer its muuuuch better now

[@trekfortruth2841]

I picked up the Watchman ranked #2 earlier this year...really punches above it's weight!

[@Sanguivore]

These all look like great knives, especially for the money! :D

[@ChronicalsofAl]

Great video

[@ibsrpage5798]

I just ordered the Watchman W206 from your link. What a great deal. Love your channel.

[@chronovore3726]

I'm surprised to not see the Vosteed Mink. It's a fantastic EDC fixed blade in Nitro-V.

[@TheIronspike1982]

I have some cold steel mini fix blade, some other premium brands, but Kizer is the goat: super comfortable in hand, clear cuts, easy resharpening.

[@douglassmith3901]

The first one is actually the Joker Erizo TS1. There's a larger version of it called the Joker Rabbit with a longer blade of the same shape and the exact same grip. I've only found it in the 1.4116 steel though instead of the Bohler N695 which I'd rather have. Great review, and thanks for these wonderful finds for us to consider.

[@SteinzVsKnives]

you're gonna make my wife divorce me if you keep showing me more knives to buy brotha🤣

[@G_T_V_R]

😂

[@JulianRodriguez-oq2im]

You too?!?😂

[@Charles-wr8my]

Maybe we should start a club!!!!!😅

[@jujubeans2002]

I have large glove size hands ...I appreciate you mentioning including us in you reviews ... great video ... thanks

[@stuartrollings602]

Very nice reviews! Once again! Thanks!

[@Stassa23]

Glad you like them!

[@Biomass1]

I carry the Watchman Reeves copy once in a while. Great little knife for the $25 dollars I paid.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Good video! Thank you.

[@brokken2178]

That belt clip on the Two sun works so well. The hook under the clip ensures that it never comes off your belt. It is made for inside the waistband, and I switched out all my knives with those clips.

[@DevDog67]

Where can I buy these belt clips? Or what terms do I need to search for them? Have been looking for iwb clips for small fixed blades and these look perfect.

[@willblake72]

I have a couple Casstrom bushcraft knives, they're really nice. Maybe a bit expensive for the materials but they do a great job on fit and finish, very comfortable contouring on the handles, and the heat treats seem really good. Well, at least that's my experience with their Sleipner.

[@Sjjmpen7775]

Great video, so many good options. Also, I love the kizer Bowtie. just needs a thumb ramp, I'm going to try doing myself, fingers crossed

[@CarlSanford76]

I remember when micarta was a high end luxury option.

[@johnm4110]

I would never choose a plastic sheath over leather.

[@Allislandrenos]

Purchased the Kizer Bowtie a few weeks ago, great little piece!

[@anthonyduncan1221]

literally added the bowtie to my shopping list after seeing this video......great recommendations

[@vegpwrshlominator1873]

Think you for the video love the Cudeman Sanibria( I think that’s how you spell it!). Carried one for a long time.

[@kathleensmith370]

great choices

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

Cool video thanks.

[@casualcanoer2426]

Hey Stassa, I'm trying real hard to decide between the LT Wright/Battle Horse Knives Frontier Valley or Frontier First. If that matchup catches your interest, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks, I really enjoy your content!

[@davidhelka8929]

That twosun/sixleaf is cool great video man 👍 are the watchmen knives amazon knives??

[@timmy101able]

Review more kizer knives.. I got the muskrat and the militaw and they’re both awesome!!

[@theapex1120]

Looks like Kizer heard your critique and switched the Harpoon's sheath to kydex. At least on Amazon.

[@katanasmith]

I have a watchman mini nessmuk style that's amazing.

[@LiveTrueorDieTryin76]

Those are sweet... I got a Kizer cabox over a yr ago and really didn't like the look with the ring on the end so I kept it in box for a long time & a couple months ago I pulled it out & tried it a few days & was blown away. Sharp as broken glass, good steel, the handle actually feels OK in hand & it holds an edge. D2 steel. I was really surprised. I carry it almost daily now, lol. Check it out.

[@cylentone]

Thanks for the list. I have several in baskets but haven't pulled the trigger, am a folding knife EDC guy until now. That needs to change. One that I am looking at that is not on your list - the Kubey KU376A by Mikkel Willumsen Design in Micarta & 14C28N for around $70-80. Blade under 3" but with a large choil for full 4-finger purchase.

[@Stassa23]

If you’re talking about the Kubey Hunter I plan on buying the drop point version for the next one like this 👍🍻🍻

[@cylentone]

@@Stassa23 Yes! Perfect.

[@morganacanon]

That second Watchman isn't the Izula clone. There is another one that's an exact copy but made in the Sandvik steel. I own both types and love them. But I find the Izulu clone to be a bit easier to use. Both are easy to get a super sharp edge on, and stay sharp after whittling and field dressing game. I'd urge you to look up and buy the clone. It's also only $32! As always, love your videos! Keep em coming

[@JAB671]

The Sixleaf looks, to me, almost exactly luke a Case Sodbuster. The blade shape is pretty much the same and even the shape if the handle looks the same. Even though I don't carry one much, any more, as over time I have really gravitated toward locking folders I carried one for years and the Sodbister is one of my favorite slipjoint styles. A knife that is more or less a fixed blade version of a Sodbuster interests me.

[@mikeh5967]

I carry the Watchman every day I go to work. But mine is cpm3v!

[@TheMartinChronicles]

Just ordered the Erizo Bushcraft. It's a bit cheaper than the one you showed but it has MOVA steel? Not sure what that is. Oh. Moli Vanadium i guess.

[@charlyb.5479]

Oui, le mova58 est un acier inoxydable fabriqué à Albacete (la capitale de la coutellerie en Espagne), c'est un acier bon marché. Mais certains utilisateurs/collectionneur disent qu'ils maîtrisent assez bien le traitement thermique. Ce serait l'équivalent du 420hc de chez Buck.

[@TheMartinChronicles]

@@charlyb.5479 Merci.

[@michaelwaldeck7081]

Mova is 4.116 steel I think

[@JavierBonillaC]

Marttini knives from Finland would be #1 in this list and they are under $40 dollars.

[@BarberBlade22]

I hated the sheath for my mini harpoon and I complained to Kizer and they sent me a kydex taco sheath and I just had to pay shipping!

[@EDC_Tommy]

I think the watchman W205 is more of an Esee 3 HM homage. The W204 looks more like the Izula.

[@johncaban4310]

How about Boker Vigtig vs. Wild Fixed Blade Knife 3.35" MagnaCut Stonewashed

[@SteinzVsKnives]

i just got done filming my hard use with the allosaurus and mine came stupid sharp forreal

[@gwarluvr]

My watchman has a little rattle to the sheath as well.

[@blackhogarth4049]

So I checked out Watchman knives, and sure enough, pretty much all of them are way less expensive versions of popular premium designs. Interesting.

[@dylandoherty2681]

I prefer my full size harpoon...biggest i can legally carry in ct

[@todverderben5440]

Just waiting for my boker plus M.U.K. to arrive this or next week

[@Cuccos19]

Watchman WF204 is a rather Izula-homage. This WF205 an Izula-like homage. Or something else, but I have no idea what was the original. The WF220 is some Böker Nesmuk homage.

[@paullambert4445]

I love small fixed blades, but I can’t stand Kydex. It’s just another plastic thing in our lives. In my opinion leather, properly treated is always better. And all those awful rivets. They take up way too much space. Thanks 🎸🔪

[@paullmight42]

I been wondering about that 6 leaf...

[@Stassa23]

I sharpened it up after the video was done and it performed so much better 👌

[@richardhenry1969]

I have the watchman we222 its a great knife. Why spend ridiculous money? When you can get a great knife in 14c28n for $31?

[@SouRi1Two3]

Not hate. I enjoyed the video but does anyone else thinks that he sounds like he could be a Rick and Morty character? 😅

[@bleed4glory10]

I can’t unhear it now. Good video though!

[@papamamin7268]

Timecodes needed!

[@Horde334]

That mini harpoon would've been nice if it had kydex and gotten rid of those awful yellow scales those 2 things are a deal breaker for me then again i never understood this weird obsession with ultem as a whole it doesn't justify jacking the price up.

[@npenick66]

I'll never understand why they keep putting decent blades in crappy sheaths. Charge me an extra $10 and give me a kydex sheath.

[@edwardyork4321]

AMEN Brother PREACH ❤

[@shawnpepin7890]

Because lots of people prefer leather

[@edwardyork4321]

@shawnpepin7890 If the Leather one's were any good. Nobody would be BELLYACHING.

[@Horde334]

@@shawnpepin7890 Then manufacturers should give us the option to not have a crappy poorly designed leather sheath and piss yellow scales as the only option cause those two things make that mini harpoon look like an abortion cause sorry but not sorry that 3v option shouldn't have only that as an option or force me to swap the scales out making me spend more money to fix poor design choices.

[@mikereese15]

Remette coming in hot

[@ChronicalsofAl]

Sisal is pronounced with a long "I"

[@martybreeden6116]

I recently bought the,Watchman 206 and the sheath was AWFUL..loose

[@SteinzVsKnives]

32 for that watchman is insane thats so sexy

[@aaronflores21af]

73 $ is not budget

[@colonelJ77]

Edc does not mean fixed

[@peteroconnor-v8x]

Can you please speak faster????

[@CIGARURI]

I wish you would speak slower!

[@Stassa23]

I was trying not to make the video an hour long but you are right so I think next time I do a video like this I will do it with 5 knives instead of 10 that was I don’t have to go fast in order to keep the video to a watch time 👌🍻🍻

[@disaster2048]

Why are you screaming?

[@christopherbareja996]

Stop yelling man

[@beacon776]

I really like your videos but please stop yelling, I'm really interested in watching more but the yelling is tough.

[@lgroves336]

NOT a FIXED kind of guy...
