TOP 10 BEST EDC Fixed Blades as of 2022

[@mikereese15]

Awesome list and all great sized fixed blades. Yes I would love to see a list of more affordable under $100 knives.

[@JC_1095]

I've always been a pocket folding knife carrier but recently I ordered an Izula 2 and I love it so much that it's sending me down a rabbit hole along with videos like these into the world of EDC fixed blades that I've been missing out on. I think now that once you start you usually don't want to go back. I think the backpacker pro or guardian 3 are next on my list.

[@frankieb9444]

Very nice, bought mine over 10 years ago...it's a great little knife. I recently got into fixed self-defense focused blades and instead of trying to rely on a knife to do too many things, I carry one for utility and the other as a Get-Off-Me knife.

[@kpfagerberg]

@@frankieb9444what do you use as a self defense one?

[@chriswebb3018]

My favorite edc fixed blades come from DCC Deep Cutz Cutlery. Great blade shapes, unbelievably thin grinds, amazing ht, high end steels, comfortable handles, hand made, and a reasonable price. I'm sure you have herd of him but thought I'd share my fav.

[@kylekarcher]

M1 caper is my favorite from white river

[@cemetarygates2800]

White River for the win!

[@realbroggo]

Can definitely recommend the Bradford Guardian 3 with sheepsfoot blade. I have one and it's my absolute EDC fixed blade go-to (just ahead of my Brisa Bobtail). I don't have a problem with Bradford leather sheaths. I like the softness/flexibility of leather against my body when carrying all day - IMHO kydex can sometimes be just a bit too stiff for EDC. Just a small amount of maintenance and they keep going - I just use leather conditioner every now & then. Sharp blades all.

[@katanasmith]

Definitely the under 100

[@ed2335]

I like benchmade 15700 flyway. Nice small edc. 👍

[@michaelsawyer519]

Love this vid... I wasnt into EdC fixies when this dropped but its become my obsession!! BOOM BABY GREAT VID!!

[@Krusher_Knave]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you for making it.

[@stuartb9194]

Stoked you featured the Fastpak, I love mine

[@Stassa23]

It is a sweet edc fixed blade especially because of how light it is 👌🍻

[@WilliamWallis]

Can’t miss with any of them. Impressive group.

[@jasperveldhuis3880]

Great video's, thanks! Recently discovered your channel, love it! The design of the WTG Klapatche blew my mind, but can't find it here in The Netherlands (Europe) or stores that will send it here. Thnx again for the great content, good info and good lists!

[@timb4425]

Would love to see your top 10 under $100

[@timbo4374]

I have a few of the knives you showed, and I love them. I have that Backpacker pro, the Gaurdian 3.5 in Magnacut, the LT Wright Patriot, and I have a Creeley made knife, but it's to big to edc. It's a woodlore style bushcrafter with a 5" blade of nitro-v. Bark River..well...they have enough of my money to put Mike Stewarts grand kids through college.😂 I'm up to 2 dozen of their knives.

[@pierrepower8343]

I loved this review, thank you for sharing. I am very interested to see a review on the Dawson range of edc fixed knives. Particularly the reckoning model but the handyman and the huntsman interest me greatly too. I have held a handyman once and it felt seriously good to my hand and they are made from magnacut steel. All the very best and i look forward to your next posting.

[@thedeaderer8791]

I wish someone would make a bigger version of the crkt minimalist but with good steel and maybe a slightly bigger blade

[@hewcarroll]

Check out the S.P.I.T or S.P.E.W. by CRKT, they're about the same size but better steel and the Folts Minimalist has a "katana" version that's almost a 4" blade

[@acid6urns]

it’s not a bigger one but they make the minimalist in 154cm now.

[@acid6urns]

i know that SMKW used to have a crkt SPEW in d2, not much bigger but still bigger and better steel

[@normcote270]

ESEE Izula in s35vn with scales from The Knife Connection. ESEE in s35vn kife cost was $77.00. The knife Connection gorgeous g10 scales cost $40.00. Well worth the price and the strongest Knife in that size range with 0.16 spine and s35vn suoersteel. Plu 23:51 s the ESEE no questions asked warranty,...win win🗡🗡

[@InspiredCraftsman]

Great list, put some new knives on my radar. My current go to is the benchmade hidden canyon with a scout carry sheath.

[@LonestarTaoboy]

I recently got the CJRB Hyperlite. 4.11 inch blade, full tang in AR-RPM9, G10 handles, and yes it only weighs 3.25 ounces.

[@jodymoyer5569]

TKELL Knives makes the best edc fixed blades in my opinion

[@jroddearing14]

Great job buddy good picks

[@TWKKNIVES]

Great video really helped me. Thanks

[@pigpaul]

Happy new year!! Great video!!! Take care!!

[@jamesomalley4556]

Like the LT Wrights affordable and they work.

[@dlrmon1]

First “Top Ten” list you’ve done were I don’t have a one of them, though I thought i saw a Cold Steel Mini Pendleton Hunter at the end...You almost skunked me!

[@lionknives3]

The Whiteriver Backpacker pro sheath should have a bigger hole on the kydex. You have to be really careful when put the knife back in the sheath. Just a great list Nick! Agree on the Mako, should be a FFG

[@blackhogarth4049]

I have a Guardian 3 Wharncliffe. Get one. It's awesome.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

The oxygen wrench on the Fastpak would look good with an abalone shell or damascus plug. Great selection and wishlist material.

[@toma1460]

The survive knives ... 2.7 you showed. They use peters heat treat.

[@ninemimesleft]

LT Wright Apex is my new go-to. I definitely prefer the Apex to the Frontier Valley. It's a much bigger knife that carries like a very small knife. I just wish they made them in magnacut!

[@tanyaternowesky2221]

Excellent video as always. A lot of really nice fixies here. I would love to see more vids of you modding knives...it is very interesting and informative. Thank you for all the work you put in.

[@N3wbMa5t3r]

Love your videos Stassa... 😀 But I would love to see a video with obtainable fixed blades. It's like saying the top 10 GEC knives to buy. 😅😅

[@uncledave4834]

Great video! Your top 10 lists are always a great source of knives that I should check out. What ever happened to your BGM knife?

[@Bunnysniper44]

Beautiful blades!!

[@chrisklinglmayr3514]

you should try the MKC Speedgoat mini

[@groundfog]

Really good stuff!

[@patg6867]

Which would you pick White River Backpacker or Rainier Fastpak?

[@brendanmoll4799]

Yeah a under $100 video would be great

[@eugeniovaldez7205]

Loved it! Great choices. The JL is ORC not ORE. Keep the fixed blade vids coming.

[@mattdagger1480]

Would love to see you test the viper knifes berus 1 and berus 2! They look a bit out there I’d love to get your opinion on either of them as they have the same handle that intrigues me

[@willb7713]

Good video, all the fixed blades I like are a little bigger though.

[@youtoob1234567]

How could you not include an ESEE

[@dudN8R]

What are your thoughts on Creely vs White River?

[@KENAHIGHLANDER]

I have a PSK EDC

[@LonestarTaoboy]

My prediction for 2022 trends was exactly the rising popularity of the EDC fixed blade. The second was the return of the Balisong for EDC and the ultimate fidget factor. Will Hirsch has just made this possible with the creation of the Vulp trainer Balisong. Regardless of how you may feel about a Balisong. The fidgetability of Balisongs is unsurpassed.

[@Stassa23]

I have always wished I could flip a Bali , I’ll have to check out the Vulp trainer thanks for the info 👍🍻🍻

[@GerstBladeworks]

I'll never understand this. Wtf is a fidget factor and why does it have anything to do with a tool?

[@LonestarTaoboy]

@@GerstBladeworks Put a Balisong in your hand. You will have your answer.

[@toma1460]

Fidget factor is for people who just can't stay still. Lol

[@danstreng5597]

Norden Knives Ascent Mini

[@Mike-vv8sp]

what would be your opinion of T kell knifes? thinking about trying one for my first EDC fixed blade.

[@StarDarkAshes]

How can you fit the chickadee in your fifth pocket? That thing looks awesome. I really like small fixed blades. I assume you must mean that you have it in your fifth pocket and the handle sticks out or some thing. Or you’re not talking about your watch pocket?

[@timelyspirit]

Check out Tristar Knives. Custom maker named Matt in Tennessee. I got one of his smaller pocket fixed blades and it’s both nicely made and has some style which separates it from others. So far I’m well pleased with it. Also has a pocket clip leather sheath which is also pretty nice. Thanks for the always great videos!

[@campuscolt65]

I’d love to see a hippie hiker walk by and see you in the woods just cutting random shit lol 😆

[@goranbregovih1563]

Отличные ножи.

[@spongebrode]

Check out the Brisa/enzo Scara

[@rustysmith540]

Can't find any work tuff knives anywhere

[@silverfox_502]

I love my SPK M4 Sasquatch and BMKT Field Spec as well. Great EDCs. A few others you might want to check out: Cypress Creek Copperhead Joey Roman Neckr Double X Knives (any model) but I have a Fixed trapper and Kwaiken Knight Watch Knives (Alex Garrison) Interloper Bilgewater Blades Rabbit / Jack Rabbit or Fox / Hound DCC Little Rascal (as others have said) I have one in MagnaCut and S90V Stonehocker Blades Spike Knives by Nuge Chickpea Lucky Walusiak Abednego, Meshach or Shadrach Happy to send you most of these to check out or answer any questions you might have.

[@chanabhaji2726]

Boker AK1 maybe

[@brianfigner4317]

so far the first 5 knives are not available

[@user-vt5sf6jn3e]

I have lots to say about the quality of LC Wright knives. The one I purchased was not finished completely. The spine was not finished to 90 degrees as specified. I phoned and talked to LC himself. He is just an arrogant Poor business man and does not produce a knife worth it's price tag. Very disappointed. I will never buy another LC Wright knife at any price. I will not accept one free of charge.

[@branbomanbo8658]

Scandi grind on the Bravo edc?? Lmfao!!! Recheck your grind recognition!! Haha that's def no scandi my man that'd be an obvious bark river convex grind 🤣
