I am so glad you like the Overland Sport! I guess there must be a reason it's become our #1 seller. Thanks again for your support.

[@jarhead1031]

It’s so cool what you’re able to do almost by yourself. Especially as an Idaho native it’s neat that you’re right in my backyard too

[@runeass]

I have the regular one, i love it. Now saving for the sport

[@craigmiller8654]

Yeah, TJ firing on all cylinders. Thank you Aaron 😊

[@chasewells5464]

I watched the original review on the orange one. I thought it was kind of neat, the design wasn’t super appealing to me but I could see the function. Then I saw the price, and I was like, “I’ll stick to a pocket knife.” Anyway, cool knife just a little pricey to me.

[@southernyert7597]

I got the lost trail 5. One of my FAVORITE Camp knives. That looks like a grt EDC. Schwarz makes grt knives

[@DarnGood1]

That Overland Sport looks awesome for edc, and for around the campsite for food prep and small tasks. I love my Wachtman K&T Kliff fixie, but the Overland is calling to me

[@evansmoak7182]

EDC is capturing most of my attention these days. I love the big ones (insert joke), but I get to actually use my smaller knives every day. Kizer Muskrat in 154cm and Outdoor Element Scout Feather VG10 are my two fixed go-to's. Kizer Lieb M is my favorite folder.

[@orangerider2827]

I love Tj Schwarz knives. I got a confidante thanks to you for showing me his work. It's a great knife. I wish the handle scales were a bit thicker sometimes, but then it would feel too bulky probably haha pros and cons. Everyone is complaining about price. I think his stuff is extremely reasonably priced. Highend steel that's heat treated better than any other knives I've seen, and it's made in the usa from a small maker. Oh, and you can customize basically everything you want about the knife, and it doesn't cost more. It just takes time! I think that's rather incredible personally.

[@louisrodriguez6499]

My favourite edc fixed blade, i carry scout with a spyderco j clip.

[@greggordon6215]

I bought a Sport model a couple of weeks ago during a drop. Fantastic little fixie. Amazing how small it is and yet feels much bigger in the hand. My first knife in magnacut. Been edc'ing it and it does well in place of a folder.

[@gideonstactical]

I’m glad you love it, it is a very special knife.

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy n thanks! Have all of Schwarz knives! Love em! Reiff on list!

[@jzeff6250]

Gid, you are the one that turned me onto Schwartz. I picked up a sport a few weeks back. It's dimensions fit perfectly in any pocket - jeans or shorts- and the included ulticlip attaches to my pack with ease. Thanks, Aaron!

[@gideonstactical]

I am glad to hear it, it’s a solid piece of kit.

[@supersaiyanbear5298]

You're one of the only guys doing this that I don't mind when you throw a commercial promo into your videos. I swear, I'm not being sarcastic, you guys gotta make a living and this is how that gets done. Don't change. At least you're not pushing FanDuel or some evil gambling trope on your viewers, it's almost always just more useful gear.. But, here we are watching a cool knife vid, and then you're like "Oh, my shirt? Glad you asked. No problem. It's LA Police Gear, and it's cozy as heck.. anyway, back to this Schwartz.." and I find it hilarious and super genuine how you just blend it right in. You're the man, Aaron..

[@gideonstactical]

Really appreciate that, yes it is the way business gets done, but I am very strict on what I promote and only stuff I use and like. I have passed on dozens of sponsor options that are scummy or not something I believe in.

[@cyclopsamurai]

TJ is on fire!

[@MI_Prepper]

This looks super Handy!

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Aaron, dunno if there's a proper knife term for it, but I do like when the edge is lower than the bottom of the handle line i.e. like a kitchen knife, great for cutting on a surface. The sweep on this one would help in that respect too. Main thing for me on this size is control, which it appears to have in spades. Yep like the sheath/clip too, very versatile.I dont often say it, but the camo looks very cool also. Its still a bit small for a secondary on the trail IMO, though car camping, EDC it'd be a winner for sure. Its quite a buy once cry once proposition, though with the build out options at least you get as close to perfect as possible for your hard earned dough. Cheers Duke.

[@Jacob_Gutierrez]

The sport has been in my pocket everyday since getting it almost 6 months ago. Easily favorite knife to carry and use, also keep the full size in edc bag 😅

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

A small knife can, often, take on the tasks of a large knife, easier than a large knife can do the small knife's job. And I'm a veteran chef, who uses a 10" chef's knife for almost everything. But, a 3" paring knife is my no. 2, because some things just cannot be done with a big knife.

[@jusme8060]

So glad people are finally giving us the geometry that takes advantage of these super steels. It pisses me off when you get a 3v knife that's just as thick as a tops 1095 knife. Wouldn't you want to take advantage of that extra toughness and get better geometry? This knife is super thin bte. Love it. The sheath is a bit weird for use with an ulti clip though.

[@gregblake2764]

The design of these Overlands is fantastic. Thanks for showing us the Sport. I just wish he'd offer the knives without jimping.

[@gideonstactical]

Ya the jimping is not for everyone. But doesn’t hinder this design.

[@DualsportDMAN]

[@DB.KOOPER]

If its that small I'll just use a folder (like the new Kizer Bulldog) and for what he's asking I loose even more interest (that's Benchmade levels of crazy IMO although much better made then garbage-tier Benchmade) . 40+ years hunting, camping, working and playing in the backcountry I've never found a need for these small fixed blades that are suddenly all the rage. Schwartz REALLY needs to make a 4" version of the Confidante IMO and offer them in 3V or K390, something other then _Magnacut_ cause I'm not as blown away by the stuff as everyone else seems to be.

[@michaelgamino4685]

Kind of an unrelated question, but do you have any suggestions on where to sell knives relatively easily? Want to pick this knife up but need to sell a few knives I hardly use first lol

[@CaseySackett]

Want one!!!

[@michaelblanton9949]

I’m a big fan of that blade shape. Very closely resembles the Chris Reeve Insingo design. At that price point (Sport or full-size Overland), what are your thoughts in comparison to the Buck Alpha Elite 663, Chris Reeve Backpacker, and MKC TF42 (or any others you recommend)? I believe the MKC is quite a bit more $ than the rest mentioned.

[@wyattshoulders1794]

I started out carrying a medium sized fixed blade then I switched to a smaller version because I realized that I could do everything a larger knife can and more with a smaller knife since I switched from my larger knife it's been 4 years now that I've been carrying a smaller blade and i don't think i can go back to my larger knife

[@JJD-9403]

Very nice

[@colinburgess9455]

Just to let you know, your videos aren’t being recommended to me in the recommended videos lately, even though I’ve been a subscriber for many years. I thought you might have given up on KZbin, until I searched my subscriptions.

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, I don’t know what the deal is or if KZbin is not pushing them out to as many viewers for some reason.

[@bethepepper]

Great video…

[@Victorsbzh]

My David Mosier Trigonaut is similar but the steel sucks 'cause it's a böker plus knockout. But the form factor is great.

[@InGratitudeIam]

Very tempting. How does this compare to the Reiff Circadian?

[@gideonstactical]

Circadian is excellent. I would say it is definitely a bulkier carry and not precise a tip. This has more precision tip for piercing and much easier to carry because it’s slimmer in the pocket. The reiff is better for harder outdoor use and or hiking and camping.

[@sjohnson4882]

Thanks. The choice was an issue for me.

[@alexmalloy3273]

How do you feel this compares to the reiff circadian? I know the circadian is a little bigger with fuller handles but these 2 designs speak to me the most. Talking all around woods and edc. Thanks!

[@gideonstactical]

Man that is tough. The sport is more low profile, less pocket space, and pointier tip. If you like bigger blade then that would be the one, if you want more precision and ease of carry the sport

[@Swearengen1980]

Here it comes, queue the "Cost way too much" from the crowd you are either poor and jealous or can't comprehend that you get what you pay for. Magnacut is expensive because it's the most well balanced steel. Small businesses will often by more expensive than mass produced companies, no they can't compete with the price of a 1095 ESEE, it's not reasonable to expect it to. And a company who gets the heat treat of magnacut right, these $250-$350 knives are not at all overpriced if you actually put them to work.

[@gideonstactical]

You nailed it. So many people don’t understand value in handcrafted goods.

@@farfromtheheart Well shit dude, that's inflation. I'm more pissed at $90 at the grocery store every 3-4 days than 1 time purchases going up 25-30%. Everything is absurd right now. However, magnacut prices have stayed steady. MKC's prices have remained consistent, for example. Some folks price gouge for their products, personally I think Tops and Benchmade are good examples of that.
