Bradford Guardians are the best fixed blades I’ve had the privilege to use. For out in the bush, for EDC, for whatever. Impeccable build quality with a luxurious feel that’s still tough as all hell. The 5.5 and 3.5 were big time performers for me all summer.

Plus one: “Not enough fixed blades!”

Did George really suggest EDC'ing a kitchen knife??? I guess if you're Michael Myers. 😂

Nice stuff. Oh & btw if one had a scabbard made for those kitchen knives then they'd instantly become a gaucho knife. They even have the finger choil for thrusting already. Which is pretty standard for both gaucho knives & knives used in a similar way in the canary islands.

I own the Dawson Knives Smuggler and I use it as my EDC. The build quality is unbelievable and they literally only use Magnacut from what I remember. Cerakote is also applied and the factory sharpness is razor sharp. I’m surprised they aren’t mentioned as much. They’re a 3rd generation knife company and the stuff they make is world class.

Great preview! Great fixed blades. I EDC a Winkler Crusher Belt knife with rubber handles or a Scallywag tactical and TOOR knives collaboration knife called the MUTINY. They are both really good for all of my knife tasks. Have a great day

I’ve carried a thicker parring knife edc for years off and on. Don’t carry that one anymore because I tend to rotate knives when I get something new. The parring knife was very sharp. Had a spasm in my hand and cut the tip of my finger off with it while cutting leather.

Awesome video thanks

That M311 is a beautiful design.

If that Essee gets made in s35vn I'll be snatching it up for sure. Heck, might snatch it to anyways!

I am making Altoids stationary kit. Please suggest - 1) Liquid glue which can be used repeatedly 2) Transparent tape which can be cut without scissors 3) Compact slim stapler

We need a video about the best wharncliffe pocket kives

sick butterfly flips

Favorite fixed blade for EDC: Hogue Extrak

Nice. I love me some fixed blades.

I actually thought that new esee was a larger izula. Then you said you have tiny hands and I'm like "ooooh makes sense now"

I would love if y’all brought back blade banter. That’s what sucked me into y’all’s channel! Love y’all’s vids though.

That Esee should be called the Izula pro 😉

I like the Esee very much

BIG FIXED BLADES MAN!!!!...........HUUUUUGE STUFF!....COME ON LETS SEE SOME MAN SIZED KNIVES

What hatchet is that on the wall behind you?

I love all these knives, however...I need a good camping/Bushcraft knife in a more moderate price point... suggestions?

Morakiniv companion spark. Cheap but awesome. I use it all the time in the woods

I got the sr1 tanto lockback. After a bit of work and lube, that thing will go straight into limb removal mode too. Five minutes after putting a razor edge on it, I was on my way to the er for stitches! My SRK doesn't pull that sh!t

How come I never see any Cobratec knives being reviewed?

I buy a few of those Esis if i was made out of stainless😊

What is that hand axe in the background

Im thinking about buying a Kershaw Launch 4 from your website, can I trust that I won't get hacked from buying from blade hq?

Bought probably 25-30 knives from them and no hacks so far, I’d say that’s a trustable hack to no hack ratio lol, but in all seriousness yeah you’re safe dude

Would love to get me a reiff maganacut some day

Why do you still not use timestamps??

We’d like a video on blade designs/steels that can skin and food prep but are also tough enough for hard or even defensive use with a good handle/sheath keeping edc in mind. A fixed drop point-ish blade in the 3.5min-4.25max” range that doesn’t have too much or too little handle scales to carry comfortably but still be useful. Focused on all round so definitely not a tanto, wharnie, or recurve/Karambit style. I’ve only owned/handled maybe 100 knives(not counting kitchen knives lol), at this point the Microtech Socom alpha mini does a pretty good job of being an “all rounder” in my opinion). A top 10-20 in that category/range would be great! I’ve liked all your videos cause I’m a knife guy so keep doing what your doing but specialty vids on a “Jack of all trades” fixed blade would be appreciated(sounds funny/incorrect when I word it that way but I’m guessing your picking up what I’m putting down lol).

Been hearing terrible stories about Blade HQ. Seems the knife community is dropping them due to customer service issues. Are you guys going under and cant handle service issues anymore? Looks like at least a hundred reports on youtube alone.

Never had issues, in fact they are great because they work with me on shipping because I have to deal with package thieves

Do you have Tiktok channel? It seems like a few are copying your videos on Tiktok

that esee is really dope, but I am not too crazy about the "first production run" stamping on it. Probably irrelevant to most, but I just do not care for it. Same with tops. I love tops knives and own a few, but I feel they stamp too much stuff on their blades such as names, blade steels, serial numbers, designers, etc............ I don't know, I just appreciate a more subtle approach to branding.

This is true

Those XL ColdSteel blades do nothing for me. Clownishly big. Silly.

would a bali flipper flip if no one could ever see them flip: ADHD enters the chat

Heard you like Expensive fixed blades IS the Real title 😅

fixed blades are by far my favorite

SUCH A SHAME! ITS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD LOOKING! Still want one.... guess I'll just look at it and flip it then BANG it closed!! Lolol!😂

finally

That Essee could have also been made by Tops the handle screams tops to me.

Nah, too rounded. Every TOPS knife I've ever handled felt like a 2x4, thick 'n square.

Never mind

Fixed blades ! We need more mens knives!

No it is

Title says "fixed blades". Intro says fixed blades. Video goes like this: 1 fixed 2 folder 3 kitchen knife 4 balisong 5 fixed 6 fixed etc.... Not cool imho

Still not enough fixed blades😂😂

I have fixed blade designs.

EDC a kitchen knife.... you mean like a facon.

What's the deal with a video called "heard you like fixed blades" being fifty percent folders?

Yes and they left that ridiculous jumping off the Knife, good job tops😊

Really?? Someone asked about fixed blade knives and you show "Small" fixed blades! Might as well show folders.

That cold steel is pricey for a folder.

First

I find gingers, dwarfs and left handed people unsettling.

Why would ESEE contract out with White River? Same with Cold Steel. If I wanted to buy a White River; I would buy it from White River. Just because it has a different name on it doesn't make it something else.

Let me say there is way too many fixed blades in this video. FOLDERS for life.
