15 Top Rated Knives & Tools – Fixed Blade Knives

The Ontario Knife Company sp1 marine combat knife. This thing is a freaking sword. It is a 121 I believe inches overall seven of. It is blade it’s a clip point. And it’s kind a double-edged there’s a definitely. Some edge on the back end. Or at the clip points. It does have a nice deep blood groove. And a really good ergonomics on the handle it’s a very non-slip. Ibelieve you could probably use. This regardless of how wet slimy. Whatever your hands happen to be it’s uh close to a pound like ten points. Something ounces of 1095 powder coated steel carbon steel so definitely not. Something you’d want. If you’re in like a real humid climate. Or if so you know take according precautions the knife itself. Iknow is 100% made in America. Ican’t say the same for the sheath which is very nice. Or for the box either. One of those could have been made in the China. It has a very nice lanyard very sturdy it’s a full tang knife encapsulated.

If you don’t know the difference between a regular full tang. And like an encapsulated go to like Google. And they can pull you. Some pictures up that would explain. Icould possibly explain. It but a very solid knife. Ihaven’t had this. One for very long but. Ihave taken it on a. Few trips with me I’ve put. It through a little bit of use. And it’s as sturdy as. Iwould expect from a slab of steel. That size and for I think. It was 37 bucks so it’s a deal let’s deal steal of a deal the sheath is really well-made it’s. Some kind of leather. Or leather like material. And nylon it has a lot of different points. That you can use to mount. It to whatever gear. You happen to be mounting it to backpack your pants boot bike. If you happen to attach to.

That it has a really tight lock up. Once it’s in there and. It does have a double clasp so. Once it’s in it’s not done anywhere. And it’s its pretty sturdy. Imean I’m not Hulk hands. And get and try to yank. It out but it’s not going anywhere. Once it’s in it’s a it’s for 37 bucks I’d say. It is exactly what you would expect. It to be plus maybe a little bit. Idon’t know that it’s bomb-proof but I’m not planning on testing it necessarily quiet. That heavily or for the money it’s not a bad way to go.

And the thickness in the blades the Baja has a 5/32 thick blade. And the field craft has a 3/16 it’s not a major difference but in slicing performance you’re really going to notice. It especially with that full flat grind on the Baja. You can see here things down at the tip the nice taper on the Baja.

Hi folks John the wing man. One five channels thank. You so much for checking in I’m out here on location today I’m in northern Arizona about 15 miles north of Sedona out here in the high mountainous regions. Ithought I would take. This opportunity to do a quick video knife review for you folks. This knife is the Tops Cochise. If you’re a history lover like. You know that Cochise the Indian chief used to run along the southwest area of Arizona. This knife was named in his honor. Ithought this is no better place to do a knife review. Then right here in Arizona so as always first we’re gonna cut away I’ll do a quick tabletop specs rundown. And then we’ll do some practical application. And I’ll come back and I’ll give. Some final thoughts on. This blade you’re not gonna want to miss. It folks it’s beautiful up here come along. And join me let’s get her started let’s try a chop test with. This blade this is about an inch. And a half limb on this blowdown seems to be a lot of them up here. They get some high winds. It looks like man I can really smell the resins in their like its fatwood pretty cool so got a little bit of resin in there. You can really smell. It smells awesome let’s see. How well we can do a tent stake point the display we’re the coatings getting dirty. It looks like they’ve had a fire up here recently I’m sure up here at elevation we’re about 7000 feet I’m sure. They get lightning strikes. All the time well that’s chopping a tent stake let’s see.

Ican find a piece of wood. Ican do a feather stick let’s see. How well we can do a feather stick with the Cochise it’s just doing those onion skin thin curls just finding. That sweet spot it just loves doing feathers. You can just see them rolling right off. This blade now I’ve not touched. This edge this is a factory edge straight from tops for these video reviews. Ido not modify the blade. You folks to see it just right out of the box but look at. That just awesome curls beautiful. Now the Cochise has a pretty robust pommel on there which would make a nice little hammer. If you’re processing wood. These pine cones whatever. You might need to do with.

It bush crafting task camp graph a whole thing about. How far protrudes away from the actual handle is. That the pine cone isn’t hitting me in the palm of my hand there’s a nice area. Where there’s a little bit of room in between there probably about 3/4 of an inch. Ineed crush stuff down always being careful of the sharp edge of the blade my little public service announcement yeah there’s a great job. Now for some final thoughts on the tops Cochise as. It chops pretty well. It made feather sticks. Imean just the onion skin paper-thin feather sticks just outstanding I like the way the pommel was able to crush. That pine cone it worked very well my hand was out of the way as. You can see here I’ve got 3/4 of an inch close to an inch. You could use it as a hammer. If need be I like the scales. Ilike the unpolished micarta the great thing about. That is as hands sweat they’re gonna get. More tacky and grippy, so they’re just gonna season very nice my only critique on.

This just the over-pronounce jimping on the top here. And here it’s not a deal-breaker for me. It did give me a good solid grip. When using this blade but for a lot of folks out there you’re wearing gloves so. Imean that’s not a big issue. Iknow the bush crafters are gonna say John. It doesn’t have a 90 degree spine for me personally that’s not a deal breaker. When I’m not reviewing blades. And I’m out here actually camping and doing stuff. Ireally don’t use the spine of my knife for scraping that’s. Ihave an axe I have saws for. That sort of stuff and as a kid growing up. Imean never thought about using the spine of our blade to scrape feral rods. And to do things like. It just was something. We didn’t do I know the modern trend. Because popular you tubers are doing it is to have a knife. That does that but. This is not a deal breaker. Ilove the old-school design. That hunters point it has just enough angle like.

Isaid earlier to I was shaving those paper-thin curls. It just worked really nice. This would make a great hunting knife a great camping knife I’m not gonna say a great bush craft knife. Because the guys are just gonna tear. Me up in the comments below but camp crafts field craft hunting its awesome the Kydex. She works really well. You get a positive LOC my only critique on here is I’m not a big fan of the steel clip but that’s not a deal breaker. What I would like to see on future ones is maybe going to their thermal plastic clip. They have works really well. Something that’ll fit a 2-inch belt. Or maybe even just a piece of Kydex there as a Kydex belt loop would work really well but.

Iunderstand that folks might want to carry. It Scout style if your left. Or right-handed you want to spin. That around so you’re probably wondering if I’m gonna rate. This on a scale of one to five stars. One being that it’s going to the boneyard five means. That it’s a Grand Slam for me I’m gonna give it four. And a half stars I like to design I’m just a big fan of. And here’s the chance. Iwant to take a moment to talk about. This is a older blade in tops lineup. That a lot of us are out there looking for the latest. And greatest and the newest. You folks to take a look at. Some older stuff. You know there’s always new. And improved but old. And lousy work pretty well. And I’m not saying this is lousy I’m using. That as a metaphor that there’s.

Some great designs out there. And tops that has a lot of designs in their lineup give. Me a chance take a look through their catalog. They have hundreds of different profiles of blades. You fancy the Cochise. That you’re really gonna like. It’s a great knife to have out here in the woods. Isaw a sign up here cuz I’m up about 7000 feet. It said watch out for elk. Igot so excited I’ve been looking around as I’m driving through the woods just wanting to see a bull elk that’s like on my bucket list so. You never know on the drive home. Ihappen to catch I will definitely add. This video well that’s enough of. Me babbling this is just a short video review of the Tops Cochise look for a sixth month. Or a year update on. This blade I’ll let.

You know how it’s working out for me. And leave comments down below. You have questions you have concerns. If you’re not a subscriber hey. What are you doing take the moment. That subscribe button be part of the action we’re doing a lot of great stuff on. This channel great things are lined up for the summer follow on social media. All the links below as always thank. You so much for being part of the channel watching commenting interacting its awesome until the next time folks. Iwill see this is wing man out. Now it’s time to get out here. And play a little bit take care.

hi my name is melody cuenca world champion knife thrower. And today I’m just going to show. How to throw some sod knives alright so for these the best seems to work as a little pinch grip. You rub your fingers around the knight. And hold it with your thumb you’re going to stand with your left leg forward roughly about seven feet. And with a knife I’m just going to go straight back straight forward. And extend your hand out towards the target.

Everybody welcome back today we’re just going to do quick review of a set of SOG throwing knives pick. These up as a demo item they’re really cool so. Ijust thought I’d share them with. You real quick before. Itruly get around to beating them up. And put them through their paces so. This is the way that they’re shipped to. You the shipped separate from the sheath. And they’re shipped really cool with. These little law you know tip protectors so grain we’re going to throw. These away right away but. Ithought that was really nice. That song actually shipped them like. You didn’t have to worry about the tips of these knives being all chipped up. Or bent or stuff like. You know when you’re dealing with throwing knives the tips are going to be the. Most important aspect of the knife you’ve got to make sure. That the tip remains nice and sharp so. It can penetrate into. Whatever you’re throwing it at so let’s go ahead. And take a little closer look at these knives. And see what we have here the first thing. Inoticed again with. This being a set of throwing knives is out of the box. These things are razor sharp the razor sharp. All the way down the blade which again kind of unusual for a throwing knife. This isn’t designed to be a cutting knife. You know it’s designed to be a penetration knife so. Ithought was kind of unusual. That they’d be quite so razor sharp. You know as well as. If you’re going to use. These for any type of throwing knife activity. That those are going to get banged up eventually so you’re going to have to be very aware of.

And be prepared to keep an edge on. That side you want to keep them. You know aesthetically nice the next thing. Inoticed again along with. This razor sharp edge here we’ve got a corded handle. Ireally like the skeleton handle of. It kind of gives you a couple different ways. You can grip this knife. When you’re going to throw. It but with that corded handle. These blades being so sharp. You ever hit one you’re likely to cut through. That para cord braided handle. It is very nice and then provides a nice grip for you know. Ican see that getting tore up. You know nicked up cut off. One of the knife handles. Though there but anyhow. You were to strip the para cord off of.

That knife handle that’s a really cool skeletonized handle there. That SOG has on these throwing knives. These are hefty throwing knives they’re not real heavy but. You can feel they’ve got a little bit of weight to them, but they’re very nicely balanced. They probably actually be a little bit better balanced. If not for that para cord around the handle there so again. Something else just to keep in mind. You may want to keep in mind. When you’re throwing these. If you’re going to be throwing them in succession. And possibly hitting another knife which. You know you’re going to try not to do obviously but. All mess up all make mistakes. You are going to risk tearing up.

That handle as well as tearing up the blades. Now going back to these razor-sharp blades. That is the flip side of these really nice handles. It kind of changes the way. You have to grip if you’re going to do a blade throw on. That so you’re not going to be able to just pick. These up and up. And throw them by the blade because of. That razor-sharp edge you’re gonna have to be really careful about. That you’re going to have to do. Something along the spine there. Or you’re going to have to stick with throwing these from the handle okay that’s a brief look at the knives themselves let’s take a look at the sheath SOG knocked.

It out of the park with. This sheath for these. This is a very thick Ghidorah style sheath. That comes with these knives. When they’re placed into the sheath it’s its a stacking pattern as. You have with most throwing knife sets. You know you’re gonna have. That typical stack setup there. You know kind of give. You a little bit of an angle on. That hopefully that’s showing up in the on the video there. You can see how those stack. They do create a kind of thick package up here at the top but denied the knife blades are kept very compact down here at the bottom. What else does this sheath feature well. It features a belt loop. You know as most of them do but no lateral loop which personally on a set like. This that’s what I would prefer to have is a lateral loop maybe a dual lateral loops.

You could slide these on a belt. You know long ways but. You know having the hanging loop there that’s plenty satisfactory for this set. This really is quite a robust set. That SOG has put together with. These throwing knives I’m really impressed with the quality of them. They haven’t really run them through. Any patients you can tell they’re not at. All scratched up they’re not at. All nicked up anything like. They haven’t really been used at. This point but we’re going to go ahead. You guys can see a little bit of. And kind of get your eyes on. This set of SOG throwing knives again real high quality set real impressed with. It kind of have to make your own line. If that’s something. That you’re going to be looking at so that’s. Isaid just a real quick review.

Imight throw up another video at. Some time in the future as. Ilike to do we always like to do reviews. And then give you an update later on just like with. All of our running shoes. And stuff like we like to give. You a hundred-mile reviews. Ilike to usually give season-long reviews. Ihave knives axes cutting instruments of. That nature maybe come back in six months. Or a year whatever. And give you a little update. And show what these things look like at a later date see. They actually held up so that’s. We have for tonight for today thanks for joining us. And I’ll see you on the next video.

Designed by custom knife maker barry dawson the spike is the quintessential neck knife available in tanto clip. Or talent point styles. It features a thick narrow blade ground to a razor-sharp 0 edge for ease of carry. It comes with the securities. And a steel bead chain so. You can sling it around your neck. It to your belt or other gear. Many of my competitors claim expertise. And knowledge in designing their knives but. What they put on the market. Iwant to laugh when your knife doesn’t have a guard like. This spike tanto point there’s only two. Or three safe ways to stab with. One of them is a palm loaded grip like. This the other one is the thumb reinforced reverse grip like. When your knife doesn’t have a guard. You can only stab as hard as your grip strength. What that’s a lot of penetration from a knife without a guard our talent spike is a terrific neck knife. It Pierces’s like a dagger. It slashes like a straight razor watch. And see I’m going to stab. It through this big block of meat using only two fingers.

All the way through. Now watch the cutting power look at. That a 12-inch-long cut two inches deep with very little effort here’s the tip. If the camera can come in. That cardboard and 12 layers 15 ounce denim that’s equivalent of stabbing through 12 denim jackets that’s fantastic penetration.

Everybody we’re going to do. Another knife review. And today we’re going to talk about. Another small fixed blade. Ilove small fixed blades I’ll tell. You why I have a specific use for small fee explodes. Icarry a small fixed blade. Icarry my firearm and the reason is. Anybody ever goes for my firearm I’m gonna have to use my strong side hand to retain my firearm in. That situation I don’t believe no matter. How much you train. You can 100% count on reaching across your body with your weak side hand pulling a folder out of your pocket opening. That folder and bringing it to use. Because remember you’re wrestling with. Somebody over your firearm it’s a life-or-death situation chances are it’s going to go to the ground. You have got to come out on top of. This your life depends on. It so my philosophy is carry a small fixed blade on your weak side.

That way you don’t have to worry about fine motor skills. While you’re retaining your firearm with your strong side. You can reach with your weak side pull out. That fixed blade it’s automatically ready to go. You got to do is start sticking it in. Somebody to get them off of. Itypically I carry mine on like. Isay on the weak side iwb appendix carry. And it’s easy to go to its natural location for when you’re in a fight. Or flight situation your hands want to come to your core anyway naturally so that’s a natural location to locate. That at its easy to hide easy to access. Ican get it into use. Ihave to all right. What we’re going to cover today is the tops knives lioness Rocky’s addition. Now tops knives is well-known in the community they’re an american-made product. They have a vast product line. Even know many models. They got a 10000 different models.

Idon’t know they are crazy. That they’ve got so. Many models like I say they’re an american-made product with a great reputation. They primarily build in 1095 carbon steel. Although they do have. Some stainless but primarily in 1095. They have a fantastic heat treat for 1095. They really know how to do. This steel they have a great reputation as far as. That goes the line acid model. You know anything about. That it’s more marketed towards females it’s a fairly small model. One in particular is in a finish. What they call their rockies edition but the other models there’s two other models. One is actually pink powder coated with black g10 handle scales. And the other one is purple powder coated with black g10 handle scales. And that’s pretty feminine. Idon’t have anything against. Idon’t want to carry a pink.

Or purple knife personally but. You know to each their own. This model you can see. That the steel is done in an acid stone wash it’s a medium dark acid wash with a fairly heavy stone wash finish on. It it’s its very good overall it’s very. Even overall no issues as far as the finish goes. And then the handle scale is in natural micarta that’s a little. More masculine looking knife. It does say lioness on. It I’m not going to sweat. That I’m not worried about my weather. Anybody thinks that my knife is masculine enough. Or not as long as it’s not pink. Or purple so you know let’s go ahead. And do the specs on. This knife you got a three. And a half inch blade length. And I’m measuring that to the plunge the blade stock thickness is about an eighth of an inch. Or three point two millimeters the blade width from the edge to the spine.

One point one inches are 28 millimeters the handle length. Imeasured this from the strike but here to the finger choil I’m making all of. That the handle length. And that’s 40 three inches. Or 10 centimeters the handle thickness 498 thousand so you’re right on a half an inch there twelve point six millimeters the handle width at the widest point here. One point zero one inches. Or twenty-five point seven millimeters the overall length right at seven. And a half inches or nine centimeters the weight of the knife itself three point three two ounces. Or ninety-four grams with the sheath. This is the sheath right here with belt clip on. It you’re looking at a total of five ounces. Or a hundred and forty-two grams. What to go ahead and take a look at.

That sheath that knocked out it’s a Kydex sheath let’s say a taco. Or clamshell type of sheet meaning it’s folded over. This way and a fixed closed on. One side with bolt on hardware. Ibelieve that that is spaced four at a clock. Ihave not tried this I’m using the built in clip. You can see I’ve got. Where it’s candid right since. It appendix carry you’ll see. That carry down in the belt is going to can’t. This right in the fold of my leg to crotch there for a. More comfortable carry. Now will say I think. This sheath material. This codex is a little heavy. You know this is 80. Or 90 thousand scottex. Ididn’t measure I probably should it’s a little bit heavy for iwb carry. Now that’s that’s not good. Ijust think it’s a little heavier for my preferred carry. You know if you’re going to carry on the outside of your belt. You really want a tough sheath then that’s good actually like. Isay it’s not bad it’s just sort of personal preference thing and then in the design of the sheath the only thing I really have issue with again because of the way.

Icarry is the point down here I’m gonna take. And I’m gonna radius. This over and soften. This point on my grinder I’m gonna. You know about like. You know that keeps. It from jabbing into my crotch. And being uncomfortable. When I’m bending over. Or seated overall the quality of the sheath is good the clip is plastic. You can see it’s a retained type of clip. You know it’s fairly stout. Idon’t think you’re going to break. It under normal use it’s screwed mounted with a large rubber o-ring. That gives it tensions so it’s. It won’t rotate you consciously want to rotate er. It has a you know a great amount of force on. It the hardware is finished well on. Idon’t really see any issues in the quality of the sheath at.

All the fit is good. Isee here you can see yeah there’s not. Any play anything and you’ve got a nice ramp here to push off on with your thumb to pull. It out so overall the sheath is pretty good quality. Now let’s take a look at. This knife this is a small knife at about seven-and-a-half inches overall. Now take a look at my hand I’ve got medium-sized hands I’m not a real big cat but look at the way the fit of. This I’ve got full grit. All four fingers on. It I’ve got this super big coil here. Imean super big some good jumping right here in a natural position. Where my thumb’s going to fall in the forward position. That out of my waistband. Ihave to use it for its intended purpose that’s the grip.

That I’m going to use primarily. Or initially I need to. You know readjust it to a reverse grip. Something so the design of. This is absolutely fantastic from my intended purpose the blade style is almost Persian in fact. You could compare this to say like the cold steel towel water folders which I’ve done a review on you’re welcome to check the blade profile is almost exactly the same almost exactly the same so. What you’ve got see. You hold the and you’ve got the centerline of the knife you’ve got a handle. Or natural draw up here. And then you’ve got a lick. Or ting to the centerline of the knife a slight rise towards the tip a slight rise in a trailing point. And then the edge you’ve got a very short flat section here. And then barely rising towards. That tip the tip is good it’s in line with the design here. It gives you a natural feel for where the tip is. You need to manipulate the tip. If you’re using it in a utility use. You can choke up in. This big hair soil and you’re very close to.

That edge it doesn’t have a secondary coil. You can get into but. This primary coil is huge. You can get really close to the edge. This there’s another set of jump. And further out on the blade towards a tip it’s not comfortable for me to use my hands are just too small. And stretching from. This soil to there is a little much for me. Although you could use. It in a pinch grip with. This finger you can see I’ve got a natural. You know you wanted to use. This it’s a little pointy for me but. You wanted to use it in for skinning game. You can use that way. Any fine detail cutting but in my primary use I’m looking for. That big coil that natural hand grip. Iwant to be able to stab stab of course.

Ihave to use this for the intended purpose as far as my intended purpose. Idon’t fear slipping forward. Idon’t fear falling back. You see you’ve got a nice bit of palm swell here it’s its fairly exaggerated actually for Palms well. Because it’s very thin in the toil area. And then it thins out again back here going into. This impact head so. You know this really is a fairly pronounced palm swell. It does really lock. That knife in and combined with the forward finger choil. It gives you a very secure feel. Now as far as the butt-end goes I’m calling this an impact tip but. You have large hands it’s its not really. You can see in my medium hand. Irotate I’ve got a little bit. That extends out I could use.

It for a non-lethal sort of impact device but. You have a large hand it’s really going to cover. That you’re not going to be able to use. That then you’re looking at. You know the primary use will be to attach a lanyard. You do have a very large lanyard hole no issue at. All get in 550 cord through there. Even with the core in alright as far as tops 1095. They use like I said already. They have a fantastic reputation as far as their heat-treat of 1095 I’ve had no issues I’ve had no rust issues good edge retention the grind on. This is a full flat grind. It is done very well. You can see it does not intrude into the spine of the night so the grind geometry is pretty much perfect from the edge to the spine. And not through the spine it’s. Both sides the edge grind itself is fairly thin. It is fairly thin behind the edge it’s a good slicey knife.

You can see side to side here. And from the tip to the plunge grind. That it’s its you know they’ve done a good job there is a small sharpening coil here as. You can see that there is a small sharpening coil to terminate. That grind line in so you’re not grinding into the plunge. You know a hassle with your sharpening or edge Flair. You sharpen all the way kudos to Tops for. That is a much-needed feature. Many knife manufacturers overlook the fit. And finish as far as the handle goes your basic natural McCarter there’re no liners sometimes tops were used colored liners under their micarta to offset. That but on this model. They don’t I think it’s really attractive. It is natural micarta. It looks natural to. It doesn’t look fake color II.

You know it’s not fancy the grip is. You know it’s micarta. This is linen micarta here isn’t it’s the finer micarta. You can see it’s not canvas micarta it’s linen. It does have some surface texture. You can see here it is smooth but. It does have some surface texture. Ilike mica by Carter. It gets wet and at least in. This surface finish widths. And texture the exposed fibers here. Idon’t know that it’s almost like. They swell up when water hits them. It becomes a little tackier to. Whereas a smooth finish GTN. You know the fiberglass that’s in GTN really doesn’t react with water. And a smooth finish gtn will stay smooth. If it’s wet and sometimes becomes slippery. This has got more of a. Idon’t know again a sort of naturally tacky but not obtrusive finish to. It as along with the jumping up at the blade tip your primary jump in here you’ve got. Another set of jump in here. And that’s a little far back as far as my grip goes.

Idon’t know exactly. What it would be used for no jumping on the inside of the grip at. All not in the soil. Or across the grip itself. Nothing on the butt-end. This knife it comes naturally to the hand like. It fits my hand well it’s got a fantastic blade design. That moderately rising trailing point like. Isay it’s a lot like almost exactly the same profile as the cold steel tower war folder which. And is my primary carry folder so. This comes into my system very easily. It comes into my hand very easily it’s easy to carry it’s small its compact it’s lightweight the construction is exemplary there’s no rough edges no gaps no misfit on the scales.

It feels like it was made to go together. It was made to go together. You know what I’m talking about again the sheath. You know nothing wrong with the sheet. Ithink it’s just a little thick as far as the material goes for my personal use but there’s. Nothing wrong with the design other. What I said about just rolling this tip a little bit. And again that’s because. It iw baby you know. This clip it does set off of the body a little bit but. And iwb carry with this clip over your pants. And your belt it actually. This hot right here pushes the sheath into your body. It doesn’t really push the clip out. Because the clip is on your belt the belts what’s putting pressure in so. This hot really gets pushed into your body. Then out so it does doesn’t make. It hard to conceal anything I’ve not had. Any problem with it coming off of my belt.

Idon’t know it’s a. You know like a nylon injection molded clip. Idon’t know how tough it’s going to be but. Idon’t foresee having any issue with. Ido like I say I’m pretty sure. Icould put a small tech lock on. Icould do a loop okay just to put a loop on. Icould carry even just leave the hardware in. And put a piece of cord on. Icould carry it rips cord style like the CRKT. That Lucas Burnley design that’s a good carry option also so. You know that’s a good sheath. Idon’t have any issue with. And the knife is a high quality knife it’s small compact lightweight fit. And finishes good a good steel that’s easy to resharpen like. Isay 1095 is a carbon steel. It will rust you don’t take care of. It but I’ve not had. Any issue as long as. You just use some minimal care practice with. Ijust keep it coated down with a very light layer of your favorite oil. Iuse tough glide which is basically a dry lubricant after.

It dries so I’m gonna say hey. You need a small compact fixed blade lightweight maybe you’re looking for something to carry parallel. And my philosophy with. This which is to use with my firearm for offside carry. This is a great little knife. It doesn’t hurt at it says lioness on. It I’m not so sensitive about. That’s because this finish is pretty manly. And yeah that’s not such a big issue. And again look at that right there proudly made in USA made in USA. You can get one of these for about $100. Ithink that’s a pretty decent deal guys so. If you’re interested in. Something like I do recommend. And like I would trust my life to. This thing in the intended use. Ihave put it into my system so again. Iappreciate you guys taking the time to view. One of my videos I want to say God bless to. Everybody you have a great day we’ll talk to.

good evening knife ants. This is knife detector again with. Another ninth video. Iwanted to show this knife. It came out in another video titled. Ithink Easter BBQ and knife talk. This knife very much. This is an oldie I think it’s from the 80s. It is a 150 charade old-timer. You can see it comes in a sheet. This sheet has been well taken care of nicely oiled. This is the sheath I believe. That came with the knife. This is the knife it is a full sized fixed blade hunting knife skinning knife very sharp. And it’s got this synthetic handle really good for cutting meat really good for skinning feels great in the hand. These grooves right here. This thumb grooves. This guard right here on the bottom. Idon’t know you can see. That the images in the picture but it’s just perfect right. You need it no matter which hand. You have you can use. It to apply pressure. Or to keep this finger safe which. Ilike very much and it’s a good knife guys very sharp I’ve been sharpening this. One quite a bit recently using my trusty easy lap sharpening rod starting in about a 20 degree angle working my way down. And coming back and wanted to share. One with I don’t think.
