Thank you so much! Really glad you liked it. We’re hoping to do more like this in the coming months’
Great video, I just happened to see this. Been looking for a knife to take backpacking with me. I am a small woman with tiny hands. Would also want it to be a little bit of protection for just in case.

A good place to start would be checking the knives on the site that are listed as "EDC", which is Every Day Carry. These are knives that are smaller, under 4" blades, that could be carried in either a pocket sheath or a belt sheath. Many would be good for keeping a cutting tool on you without adding too much weight. They also typically have smaller handles when they are in that size range as well. You can see that collection at KnifeOutpost.com/edc
The problem with full tang of any variety is the knife becoming handle heavy ... turns your knife into a crowbar. Probably should just get a crowbar.
Love the videos and the knives looking forward to the Duke I grabbed yesterday someone snacked the last one you had out of my cart when I went to check out 🥲but at least I got this one and it was on sale. I have a question I bought the Fiddleback Loner a month or so back in Magnacut when I lost the Duke and noticed all the specs are wrong on the sight it shows 3.375 Blade and 7.25 overall mine measures 2.75 inch Blade and 6.0 inches overall and just wondering are all of them actually this size or was it just the Magnacut version? I love the size for an EDC so not complaining and wouldn't get rid of it just curious. Thanks have a nice Memorial Day.
