I like the bradford guardian 3, but it has to be the wharncliffe with the kydex sheath. Put an ultra clip on it and it's extremely easy to pull and put back into your pocket. That sheath has a perfect spot for your thumb when releasing it.
Nice one; the NWKW Birdie knife caught my eye. I found one with Maple Burl handle scales and a 15% discount coupon. I will delay purchasing a BRK Ultra Lite Bushie. If you still have the NWKW knife, a review would be cool. Take care mate. You are doing great! Skully in Australia (formerly of Regina, Saskatchewan). Update" the discount does not apply to the knife I wanted (hidden terms and conditions). I put a stock model in my cart and shipping to Australia was $120; with the currency conversion, shipping is $180 Australian!!! Knife Center charges about $25 and Urban EDC around $23 to ship to Australia. I asked about shipping and was not given a believable answer. Too bad. Lots of other small knives out there. 👍
This would have been the perfect video for me, but after some more research I found out that in California no matter how long the fixed blade is, if I carry it concealed, I can be convicted of a misdemeanor or felony based on the discretion of the judge prosecuting me. Ridiculous....
NYC has its knife laws almost the opposite of yours regarding concealed. Check this out from the New York City Police Dept website as of 2022 March 31: "New York City law prohibits carrying a knife that can be seen in public, including wearing a knife outside of your clothing. This applies to all knives, even if the blade is not exposed. When any portion of the knife is visible, such as the clip, hinge or top, this is considered in public view. This rule does not apply to those who carry knives for work that customarily requires the use of such knife, members of the military, or on-duty ambulance drivers and EMTs while engaged in the performance of their duties. New York City also prohibits the possession in public of a knife with a blade that is 4 or more inches regardless of whether any part of the knife, including the blade, is visible or concealed. This rule does not apply to those who carry knives for work that customarily requires the use of such knife, members of the military, or on-duty ambulance drivers and EMTs while engaged in the performance of their duties."
You guys in CA and NY need to put different thinking folks in charge… Here in Texas, there are no illegal knives, or ways to carry. Although big cities like Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio are full of idiots trying to make everything illegal. Especially Liberty. Good luck to you. 👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
Hey Stassa check out Tactical Pterodactyl Knives if you haven't already. He makes 3 different sizes of all his knives, the smallest being a perfect size for a pocket fixed blade. Nice vid! Dig the channel!
I got my 3 pointer last November. It's been on me everyday since and has Field dressed 2 white tail, 1 black bear, and 3 bull moose without having to be sharpened just cleaned and stropped after each animal. My 2 only gripes are the brass tube in the lanyard hole makes it impossible to fully clean the knife without risking possibly ruining the scales by pulling the flared tube through them and that there's no jimping out by the tip
The Moki Banff (wharncliffe) and White River Backpacker are the two pocket fixed blades I use. You should check out the Banff line - very thin, hollow ground and mirror polished blades. Fit and finish is excellent for the money.
Thanks for this video! Been getting more into fixed blades and this video definitely helps with that. Have you tried the LT Wright Bandit? It is a little long, but still a great small knife.
I carry a utica necker it's American made. It's the perfect size for my hands. I wear a med glove. Never seen anyone do a video on this knife. Their other knives are very well thought of. They do amazing job with the edge and the thickness is just perfect. I'd put it against anything out there.
Tangram brevis. Very inexpensive, hollow grind, decent steel (Acuto 440). Super small light and perfect backpacking knife. Speaking of which thanks for showing the fairly backpacker, one is now on the way :)
Just got a Goliath and I love it. Started EDC in a small shoulder bag and it's good to have something immediately available just clipped inside. Size and quality are great so far.
I really like the discontinued Outdoor Edge Wedge. Sadly, mine is near the end of it's life. I really wish they still made it. Just a great cutter that can ride really low in the pocket. Ultra secure in the sheath.
Un abrazo muy grande desde Argentina hermano, aprendo mucho de tus videos. Te agradezco por tu trabajo y por poder compartir con todos nosotros piezas tan bonitas. Gracias por tu aporte a este mundo tan lindo que es la cuchillería 💪👍
Absolutely love the Patriot. It's probably my most carried knife in the past couple years. I've got a Northwoods/KSF two pocket slip for it Allegany or Pocono, I forget. Perfect size for the tool pocket in Carhartts. I've also got a BRK little creek that's fun but a bit chunky for as small as it is. I carry it more as a tiny gentlemans fixed blade, so not very often LOL
You don't know for sure if its the Allegany or Pocono? Probably the smaller one huh? I noticed you can get the Patriot for $71 with no sheath. And those sheaths look really nice.
5:08 That Giant Mouse would look so much better if it had Micarta or Fat Carbon scales, Nebula Fat Carbon with the red white and blue, that would look so awesome…💯😯
I like TRC knifes I'm buying now Speed Demon it's 180mm and it's little beast . Mada from M390,Apocalyptic finish , kajdeks sheat. 90% Hand made price is 250€ but knife is yust unbelievable.
I was having a hell of a time finding the sea snake then I realized it was artisan not cjrb lol. Your other video I just watched named it as artisan so after seeing that I was like oh duh lol. Then I found them all over haha. Great videos. Been carrying a small fixie for Nader my belly abiut the 1-2 o’clock position and like it a lot. Thanks Stassa!
I think you can still get all versions of that GTI on Chicagoknifeworks. Is Jake Hoback a controversial figure these days? Love that sea snake exclusive. What did that version run you?
Man the edge termination is awful on some of them especially the Mcnee perfect edc knife and the one we both got at blade. Some great ones there for sure
I carry the Holtzman's gorilla survival neck knife as a pocket fixed blade. I did take off the removable Kydex Loop for the fire steel to make it a little smaller, and just more pocket friendly. At 6 1/8 inches total length with a 2.75 inch D2 blade and chunky 3.5 finger grip it just works for me👍. If anyone has experience with the different add-on clips for Kydex, please let me know which one you like and why. Right now I'm kinda thinking the UltiClip - Slim 3.3 is probably the way to go for me.
Love this video. Some fantastic small fixed blades here. Only one I’d really add is the SPK Shark and perhaps the Bradford Guardian 3 or 3s. Love that last one you showed, obviously 😎
I almost added the spk Sasquatch but it’s not an easy one to get and the only reason my guardian 3 didn’t make it was because it was over my 4oz cutoff however it would have definitely made it along with the White River M1 caper 👍
@@BOOSTEDLASER it’s my number one edc fixed blade however it is not quite as lite and small as the ones on this list but man do I love it. You should check out the Rainer Knives Fastpack I think you would love it because I am currently testing it right now and it just might dethrone the backpacker for me if it continues to do great 👍
@@westondavis9626 whatever tough guy. Go ahead and openly make fun of people who are developmentally delayed if that’s what it takes to make you feel like a man.
Ножи хорошие но вот обзор ! Сами смотрели ? этими ножами туда сюда , вы что в цирке жонглером подрабатываете ? Ни один нож толком посмотреть невозможно , только мелькание рук .
I blv NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE GROUP should be in the "TOP 10 LIGHWEIGHT POCKET CARRY EDC FIXED BLADES". Why? Because a major component of "Every Day Carry" is that it also should be (at least reasonably good) for self defense, if ever needed. None of those would be such. Why? Because none of them have, in my opinion, sufficient finger (guard/protection). I blv in every instance...if any of them should ever be used/needed in that realm, the risk of serious injury, or worse, to your own hand is very high. For that reason...they all are FAILS per EDC (much less to be in the "TOP 10"). Aside from that...they all are cool knives and likely are very useful for the purposes you've described in the video. Thank you for the video.
Since I’m not trained in edge weaponry I would never carry a knife for self defense because the odds are I’d get killed with my own knife plus if it ever came to that which i hope it never does then I’d try to use my conceal carry firearm however if you are trained or fill confident in using one to defend your life props to you 👌for me my edc knives or strictly used as a tool so for my top 10 that’s how I rank them but I do understand how others top 10 could be different because they have different purposes for them 👍🍻🍻
I understand. My comment is purely based on - from my experience, per the vast numbers of ppl that have EDC knives as potential Self defense as a/THE major reason for their Every Day Carry. Even so, I appreciate your video and I think the knives were of high quality. Thank you.
I just got a half breed mini to try out. It will be my first EDC fixed. It comes with a tek lok also. If it works I’ll add a Stroup mini and southern grind mini jackle
Just started carrying the razel. Love the knife hate the sheath

Great video. I’m a big fan of the QSP workaholic. I have a few LT Wright knives, one of my favorite companies
That Patriot is so nice looking, and that thin ass bird n trout you showed afterwards was 🔥! Dig em, thanks for the share
I’ve been on the hunt for the Mcnees.. should check out the Bradford Knives G-Necker as well

@stassa23 can you do a review on that Mcnees?!?!? That looks really sweet
What is the clip attachment called on the TOPs sheath? Thanks
This dude has the manliest hands I've ever seen. He's definitely seen some things.
He was blown up in a chemical plant explosion. I watched him talk about everything he's been through. Very strong resilient man
What did Hoback do?
Can someone fill me in on why we don't like Jake hoback?
Dude $200 for that!? He must be related to Chris reeve or Greg medford!... illogical and sentimental price B.S.!
You can tighten the sheath will a hair dryer, just warm the sheath an press it down on the knife to fit to shape, no more rattle.
This would have been the perfect video for me, but after some more research I found out that in California no matter how long the fixed blade is, if I carry it concealed, I can be convicted of a misdemeanor or felony based on the discretion of the judge prosecuting me. Ridiculous....

Don’t carry concealed then. I’ve never had issues carrying a fixed blade in CA

Excuse the ignorance, but what’s the issue with Hoback?
I was wondering same

Great video but OMG STOP SWALLOWING SO DAMN WEIRD.. I CANT HANDLE IT
Great selection. I have a Boker Magnum Challenger and a Oerla OLF 1011 and love both.
Tangram brevis. Very inexpensive, hollow grind, decent steel (Acuto 440). Super small light and perfect backpacking knife. Speaking of which thanks for showing the fairly backpacker, one is now on the way :)
The SRK isn't a LeBlanc, or it's discontinued, it's not listed ...
"perfect EDC fixed blade" made me chuckle.
Mora Eldris, Gerber Vertebrae an Outdoor Edge Little Duck are three great small fixed blades.
Just got a Goliath and I love it. Started EDC in a small shoulder bag and it's good to have something immediately available just clipped inside. Size and quality are great so far.
Would it put anybody out of business to make a clip point? Geez.
I really like the discontinued Outdoor Edge Wedge. Sadly, mine is near the end of it's life. I really wish they still made it. Just a great cutter that can ride really low in the pocket. Ultra secure in the sheath.

Yes I carry my white river m1 in my front pocket with the scales taken off
Awesome video. Bought that Fairly Backpacker!
Tops 3 pointer did it come with the pocket clip? The ones ive does not
Really like the 3 pointer. Tops is all about that big deep jimping tho.
Really interested in that chickadee but will wait to check out his magnacut version. Another small fixie I have my eye on is the kizer butcher.
What a great lineup of little fixies. Love em all. My preferred way to carry lately.
I carry a Black Jack neck knife while fishing on the river. Love the magnetized leather sheath. Solves the retention problem. Nice little blade.
Paused the vid because I thought that was my dog barking
I absolutely love my Fairly Backpacker; great knife and great American made product and small business 👍
Just purchased one! Looking forward to it.
@@kennethaucoin2272 me too!
@@flyweight_adventures Its now my favorite knife. Awesome slicer and easily pocketable.
Great video this was just up my Alley.
That's a lot of great looking knives!! Thanks 🙂🙏

I like the CIVIVI Circulus at 1.01oz. at 0.12" blade thickness, not as robust as the lackey but good for my city EDC needs
I like TRC knifes I'm buying now Speed Demon it's 180mm and it's little beast . Mada from M390,Apocalyptic finish , kajdeks sheat. 90% Hand made price is 250€ but knife is yust unbelievable.
Hey man! I was wondering, what are some of the smallest fixies you could get a full four finger grip on?

Then I found them all over haha. Great videos. Been carrying a small fixie for Nader my belly abiut the 1-2 o’clock position and like it a lot. Thanks Stassa!
I keep an Izula 2 in my truck, it gets carried when needed.
I keep a Quiet Carry Current in my truck just so I don’t have to worry about corrosion 👍

Thanks a bunch for putting this together. I bought an LT Wright Patriot off your recommendation. Looking forward to using it at camp.
Id really like something with a sheathe similar to that jake hoback goliath but preferably leather and still with the pocket clip. Any ideas?
sorry if this offend you but can i ask what happened to your finger nail and hand?
Love the little fixed blades
Have you tried the buck el morro fixed blade knife
