My Sport is fantastic. The behind the edge geometry makes it very slicy. The Magnacut runs at 63-64 Rockwell. I sharpened mine at 17 degrees per side on a Wicked Edge sharpening system and love that long lasting edge.
I too wince at the 'preachy T' on UltiClips. Reminds me of Spartacus' suffering on the Appian Way. That said, I haven't found a better solution for many of the smaller fixed blades with kydex sheaths in my collection.
TJ is absolutely wonderful to work with, too. He seems to exist in a world of pure reality rather than one in which “our policy” is treated as if it were a law of physics, the latter being something I have dealt with over and over again and only seems to be getting worse.
People started throwing out “Sport” to denote “smaller” or “less significant” a lot of car makers call their base model the Sport now. Just my .02 on that. The overland full size is just the overland. I did buy one!
Something about ulticlips. Is you can use them on your belt if you want I'll ad. Personally i think leather makes more sense for a pocket sheath. Idk if kydex makes as much sense.
TJ in fact WAS the designer of the Arius. He had a really nice little home machine shop that he makes these out of. The overland and sport model both have been on my list for a while. I like the look of the sport more but the size of the bigger one is ideal for me. I’m just going to have to buy both lol.
Good review Nick. Man, I’d love a mid sized edc version. Bigger than the sport but not as big as the OG with the sport style scales. Taco kydex sheath to save on real estate. I like it a lot but one is too big & the other too small. Large hands cutting with small knives is challenging & uncomfortable. Plus I never pocket carry fixed blades. Scout carry on my waist with soft loops is the best way for me
I use flat Kydex sheaths without a clip of any kind. I put the knife and sheath in my pocket. When I want to use the knife, I take the knife and sheath out of my pocket, remove the knife from the sheath, and put the sheath back in my pocket.
Even in a modern market context, people have been carrying little EDC fixed blades for a LONG time. If you search a forum or something for the ESEE Izula you'll see people packing them back decades. It's just always been a minority preference compared to folders.
He’s back!!! Ohright

those Ulti Clips are nice. I use one on a small fixed blade in the pocket, and love it. This knife looks very interesting. Thanks, Nick!
If Jschlatt and Swaggersouls had a baby with a higher pitched voice, Shabazzy would be the outcome.

Dcc 2.2 clip is pretty solid as well as the mummert
@@slalomnorth I'll look those up, thanks!
Nick my boy, nice to see ya man!! Love the overlands personally.
I'm not a fixed blade guy (illegal in Spain) but I think I'd go for the bigger one. It looks very useful.

Thanks, Andy. That means a lot!
Nice fixed blade. I need more. Thanks Nick
my dad introduced me to mad magazine as a kid I loved the reference
Wonderful, wonderful lil fixie
Overland, still have. Overland Sport, gave to my son since do not like small knives where they can be ouch. Literally that wonderfully sharp and metal

omg. Everytime I think I'm satisfied with my collection.. haha this is a beautiful little knife
I have one of these and I love it. I found out my preferred way to carry it is with IWB loops. I can't seem to find a good position in my pocket.
T6 bit man himself!
Ultimate clips are great for keeping a sheath in place, but they are a Danger to car door paint. ☠️☠️☠️
door frames, countertop corners, steering wheels, kids faces, etc... :)
Enough on the sheath already! There are options that don't require pocket carry, Nick.

Taco over pancake every day and twice on Tuesday.
hey i have one of those! the grind is absolutley superb!!!
George Castanza reviews knives. Got it.
Im getting serious deja vu here
Just got mine in yesterday, I love it!
I finally pulled the trigger on one of these. This video was making me drool. He just needs to add a couple more colors of micarta.
I just did the same and also wanted a different micarta but I'll take the green. Looking forward to holding this little beaut.
It’s a perfect neck knife.
Awesome little knife.
Something about ulticlips. Is you can use them on your belt if you want
I'll ad. Personally i think leather makes more sense for a pocket sheath. Idk if kydex makes as much sense.
AKA ...
And more appropriately known as The MILLIT Aireus 👍🏻
This is a great EDC fixed blade. I carry mine in a leather sheath that rides much lower in the pocket.
Are we allowed to call you T6 now? 😄
Ps. I could absolutely see this being my first fixed blade. Awesome review.
I've wanted one of these for months. Unfortunately the "great economy" is squeezing me hard right now.
can't stand squeaky metal complex , so i'm always happy when nick releases a new video, no matter what.

I still think TJ Schwartz is a men's clothing store chain.
That would look great in my yoga pants! Can you get it with half serrations?
That's not necessarily a pocket sheath. You can tie it to your belt vertically.
I like pocket fixed blades ... Might want to add that to my knife box
Good thing about fixed blades is no moving parts
Random Q: Have you ever used a knife made of obsidian?
Just bought this knife today.
still the best. thanks for the review
We going to see the confidant soon?!
Love to see fixed blades!
A good knife review from”The Nick” is a nice addition to a rainy Saturday afternoon here in the Volunteer State👍
Another homerun

Niiiiick!!!!!
Niiiiiico!
Nick, you are the man, brother.
The Good King Shabazz posts a video? I watch. I like. I comment. I confirm the subscription bell is set to "all". Good day to you, sir!
For me, the sheath works best as IWB rather than in the pocket.
The man. The myth… The Legend
the edc fixed blade, another fad like timascus, fat carbon and jade handles

Decade of only fixed EDC. Mostly because of the size of these and the fact that flippers might sound cool but I’d rather get to business.
