It's nice to make a video about cheap knifes. We forget they are easier to use. You're not afraid to do what you have to do. And you are not afraid to loose them. ^^ Okay, they are not perfect. That is not some space steel. But it's not some showcases knifes.

I never get tired of this genre.

That Grillos a gorgeous little knife, unfortunately like everything else we get screwed on the price here in Australia with some retailers selling these for up to $200 😑

Thanks, I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos so we can buy the best knives!

More More More. Very good review. Thanks

The Loveless designed Schrade PRO HUNTER is my EDC, for the last twenty years. Around 50 bucks. the littel buggr has parted out several deer an elk and a bear, in addition to all manner of general ranch work.

I bought that Kubey chopper based on one of your earlier vids. I intended it to just be a garage beater but I've really taken a liking to it for the around the house chores. Not a fan of the sheath but the knife has been very good, especially for the price. Good for opening packages, breaking down cardboard and has been very good for cutting all the zip ties that those evil toy company bastages use to rivet every toy into the boxes.

Nieto knives are really awesome .I love them.

the entire recent Eafengrow fixed blade line EF130 to EF147 are awesome and have been tested by several knife channels.

I just went through your store and bought the very last one you reviewed by Nieto I just emailed you about getting a small fixed blade and out this Video came. I have the Kizer Smolt in 3v and I’m happy with it so since I trust your reviews I ordered it come July 15-20. I’m still looking for a small fixed blade with Bohler m390 or another super steel. The Ankylo is a very sturdy folding knife. I’m glad you recommended it and I absolutely love that knife. It’s in one of my pockets daily and that Elmax steel is tough, reminds me of my reverse tux padre’ in Vanax steel is a very tough knife and I love it!!

Thanks stassa...you're the best

The problem with the Holtzman’s Gorilla Survival- Neck Knife is easily fixed by covering the irritating sharpener with a small strip of gaffers tape. Surtape P-665 gaffer tape is upgraded duct tape that leaves no residue. Thanks, that knife is what I needed.

Good stuff, awesome lineup, wish there were more guys doin sub $100 lineups. Seems like everyone wants to talk about all the 100/200 plus linesup. Personally one of my favorites for edc over the past couple years has still been the "Le Duck" 😂 by outdoor knives. It's been a great little knife, hardly know you're even carrying it and actually came stupid sharp.

Thank you for taking the time to test these knives and show them to us 🙏🏼

This was a great lil video lots of bangers!

Nick....you are the f-ing man! So much appreciate your content as always bro!!! I know you purchase the mass majority of the knives you showcase out of your own pocket. Which makes me appreciate you even more so! Have you dedicate an entire room of your home to house them or possibly a standalone shed? Approximately how many knives do you think you currently have?

Hey. Yet another awesome post! Very interesting and informative to be sure. I especially learn a lot as you discuss the various 'cut' profiles and specifically how that effects performance. ✨😺

Just FYI, your amazon links to your most recommended budget and maintenance tools is a dead link. Love your content Stassa!

That Kubey Aiden (cleaver) is a nice-looking little knife. I am a sucker for a cleaver shape.

I highly enjoyed your video. Probably the best review video I've watched. Honest opinions, well explained, and actually tested. Well done Sir. 👍👍

I love aus 8 steel. Sharpens up like a razor in 2 seconds and holds it just fine.

I'm going to look at the camper one it looks handy

Love those grillos, thank you for the video

Thanks for Sharing

Nieto have some good offerings, I recommend looking at the terrano in the flat grind if you like full size Bushcraft/camp knives. It's really well done ✌️

Both The Nito knives look really good. The Spanish make great knives for a good price. I’ve been carrying a Joker slip joint for the last month or so and love it. Thanks 🎸🔪

This video was almost like you read my mind. I usually don't care much for small knives, especially small fixed blades. My state has no restriction on blade length so when I carry a fixed blade 'in public' it is usually a Gerber Prodigy (,the model with no serrations) and no one in my area even bats an eye. I don't know the first thing about knife fighting but feel like a knife such as the Produgy (or an Ontario RAT 5 or TAK 1) are just better tools in case they need to see some harder use. I do sometimes carry my Spyderco Bow River if I want something a little 'less'. However, I am currently looking for a knife to fill a specific niche. I want something I can carry on my weak side in front, crossdraw that I could get to with either hand. I want it to be available in case I need something to help retain my firearm. Like I said, though, I know nothing about knife fighting - it woukd just be for 'get off me' purposes. Also, where I live is pretty low risk so hopefully it would never be needed for that purpose. For those reasons I don't want a super tactical blade like a Clinch Pick, etc. Instead, I want something more like a utility blade that wouldn't be out of place doing EDC stuff but would be available and capable just in case. I also wouldn't want to drop a lot of cash on what I consider to be an 'undersized' blade but in this case I do need a smaller blade so I could comfortably carry it crossdraw out of the way of getting to the other things I carry.. Personally, I like D2 and would prefer it to stainless. I also think the 'Sharpfinger' style is one of the most attractive blade designs. I actually considered just making a custom, crossdraw leather sheath for a Schrade Sharpfinger but with my 'table muscle' I think the thinner scales on the Shark might be better/more comfortable for carry. Then there is that Kwaiken - nothing 'tacticool' about the look but would also likely be a good choice - and at the prices I can get both! I like the look of the Tesca, too, especially as I am looking at this as more of a 'take it out and use it' knife' and like that it would be pretty easy to set any of them up for crossdraw with the factory sheaths. Thanks for the video!

Good stuff

GREAT VIDEO! I like your top 3. I would love 2 similar videos, one with super steels and one with high carbon steels. I EDC pocket fixed-blades, mostly.

The older DLC finish 3v Pendleton mini hunter is great. The newer 3v ones without the coating have a deep laser engraving that catches dirt/blood/water and causes corrosion.

Just found this channel and this is a great first video. Been looking for something to compare to my mora and my anza . Some of the micro cuts between your words make the commentary sound a little rushed but other than that, amazing work.

QSP Bison. Only $80, and it’s awesome. One of the sharpest out of the box I’ve ever received. Excellent, fairly generic profile.

Good to see some Holtzmans. I got a Bloodline I think it was called a year or two ago. Baisic camping bushcrafty fixed. Nothing spectacular in 1095 but I love 1095 for something Im gonna baton with a lot. Its been a hell of a knife. Always great to get something well made. Handle feels like it was molded for my hand. And the dude that owns the company is super super nice. But Ive thrown everything at that knife and it can take it. Like it more than my similar Esee. Even got the little Fireline? Forget the name on that too. Which I dont use a ton but have it on the strap of my pack. Just hadnt seen anything about these guys in a bit. Love your channel.

Great video… I own a Cudeman Sanabria 2 and a Joker Erizo both spanish knives and really like them. Been thinking to get the Nieto Grillo as a paring knive, and also the Yesca mini because seems a nice small knive. Thanks for the video. Would you recommend the Yesca mini for a camp knife? Have you done some food prep with it? Regards

I like number 1&8

What kind of wrap are you using on the first knife? I bet that would make the grip waayyyy better!
