Great group of knives! I only bought one fixed blade this year, a new hunting piece. It's a Buck 192 Vanguard, the Cabela's Alaskan Guide version, and it's a beautiful knife. My other four favorites that I got this year are a Buck 112 Sport, Victorinox Swiss Soldier's knife, a Case rough red synthetic sod buster jr with a flag shield, and a Camillus-made Remington stockman that I found and restored. Cheers, buddy!
I really like that 2nd gen RR highland Bowie. I commented on your original video about that, and I gotta say, seeing it again, and the way you showed the thickness of the handle, I’m liking it even more. For $40, that’s a sweet full tang fixed blade. I see that as a 2025 purchase for sure. Also, those deck knives from Camillus and Pal are really cool. Ive probably got about a dozen fixed blades, so I think 2025 will be more fixed blade focused for me and my knife buying. I love those old vintage Pal fixed blades. I think I heard that they made the Remington stuff before camillus, don’t know much about Pal, but the few pieces I have of theirs seem to be made very well. Cool video, and as always , thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks. If you see that I have been or that I am becoming one, please slap me across the back the head. We all have our favorites, but that doesn't lessens somebody else's knife choices.
The Rough Ryder hit my eyes for some time but I felt … hard to say … like a fool. Now I see it’s totally serious to have one. It’s essentially inevitable of vital importance. Thank you, sir!
Thumbs up, subscribed. Very nice video s you make. Schrader, Old Timer, Sharp finger. I carry two, one on each side everyday even when taking out the garbage. I'm 63 years old started using them when I was in 7th grade hunting. Got a bunch of them and get one or two when I see them on sale. Bought two new ones for myself for Christmas this year when I saw them on sale at Wal-Mart. I still have a few M7s and Ka Bar s made in New York State. Also have Buck, 119s, and 120s, from over the years. I did buy 2 Harbor Freight, Machetes for $5.00 each and got them real sharp with kitchen block sharpening stick. All the ones you showed look very nice.
Lots of great pieces. I too enjoy a good fantasy Bowie. I have never understood why some people have to put them down. Really great choices for top five, I would have struggled so much to pick. I may try it though for this fun open tag. Have a great blessed day.
I'm with you on the 1917 Trench Knife replica. That thing is SWEEET! So is the stag Case. The Pheasant Hunter is on my wish list, too. Thanks for all the great content. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Great video Tobias (as always). My favorite in 2024 is actually a folder, the Spyderco Autonomy. Have to look back on all knives I purchased in 2024..🤔 Incheon? Cool, I’ve been there several times in my days in the “world wide trade” 🌊⚓️
😊 Good video and Tag too ,and I have gotten several folding knives in 2024. I like that Eck Dagger 🗡️ and I don't think you crazy ,you just like what you like when it comes to stuff with sharp edges. Happy Holidays.
No doubt, the Ek Dagger would work well for its intended purposes. I can see why they sell out so fast. As with many knives, it is rarely that that the knife is bad, it is often I just like some other knife better. Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the input. Really appreciate it. May the new year bring you peace, joy, good health, and prosperity.
Hey there Tobias I just wanted to say I watch your videos because it seems like we like a lot of the same knives. It doesn't matter to me if it's an inexpensive knife or an expensive one if I like it I'll carry it you don't have to please anyone but yourself.
Curious about the difference between 1075 & 1095 steels. Colonial and Ka Bar both make US Navy Mark 1 knives. Colonial uses 1075 and Ka Bar uses 1095. Both are close in price. Great video and Merry Christmas.
I watched this Video through the X Box and was unable to Like and comment, so I am doing that Now. I really enjoyed seeing your Top Fixed blades, My favorite was the Japanese Type 30 Bayonet, Just too Cool, My son about fell out with a Huge WOW! when he saw you holding that Large fantasy Bowie. I really enjoyed this one and looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.
My favorite three fixed blade knives I got were a Buck 119, a Buck Vanguard, and a used Becker BK-17. I ended up giving my two Bucks to my nephew for Christmas this year, never gutted a deer with either. Done deer hunting so passed them on.
My only additions this year have been two Eathengrow knives. One is the # 143 in AUS 10 and the other is the # 142 in DC 53. Most of my knives are in 1095 as I like the steel. The Eathengrow series I find interesting and is my excursion into other steel types. I like big heavy blades and these two fill the bill.
I like your style, brother. I have been reading up on the KABAR EK commando and have always been fascinated with WW1 trench weapons. I do leather work and have been making several mountain man style knives for customers this year so I've been on an Old Hickory kick. They are much harder to find now that OH is out of business but I've still been able to pick up 7 of the Old Hickory Butcher knives and 2 of the 6 inch "pig sticker" daggers. I'm going to make a few mountain man knife sheaths and a few inspired by knives that would have been traded by fur trappers to native Americans. Keep the videos coming. I'd rather watch knife videos than anything on cable.
My Channel, my rules. I recapped most of the fixed blades I purchased this year and then explained why five of them ended up as my five favorites. People who have been here for a while get it.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias Understand that you set the expectation in the title of your video. Your channel you can do whatever you want with it, but know that under your poor leadership of not meeting your own expectations that people don't have to watch.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias I wasn't held against my will, but even at 2x speed I had to abandon watching 1/2 of the way through and jump to the end. IDK if you value your time, but consideration of other peoples time is the hallmark of respect.
@@3vil3lvis Did you happen to read the description of the video? The description clearly pointed out what my intentions were with this video. "Part of a series. I'll be showing my favorite knives purchases from 2024. I'll be showing the knives in a variety of categories. I will show several knives in each category and then narrow it down to the top five in the category. In this video I look at fixed blades." There are very few videos that I put out that do not include a description. And very few videos that do not show related to knives for comparison. I know my channel is not for everyone.

I'm not sure what happened in 2024 but I definitely found myself buying all sorts of fixed blades with many of them big! Really Big! Still it was fun.

Good year. 😊
No doubt, I was very fortunate in so many ways.
I like the m1917 because you can were gloves when using it.
All things considered my favorite fixed blade this year is my recently purchased RR Spades series ♠️
😎
the spax it s mad for the plane crew i think !!

yep but the original version of the Fairbarn & Sykes dagger is not really solid because it s an very thin blade and the tip too!
Very good find with the Colt Stag handle Bowie , that's a real Gem 💎
Thanks. I'm very happy with it.Thanks for dropping by. May the new year bring you peace, joy, good health, and prosperity.

Not much of a fan for the Zombie killer but your defense for your interest is legit. Thanks for a great site. A collector since 1970.
😊

I like that Eck Dagger 🗡️ and I don't think you crazy ,you just like what you like when it comes to stuff with sharp edges.
Happy Holidays.

Thanks Tobias! I don't thing i have bought 5 knives this year.... been a rough one...
It has to be very hard for you to pick top 5. You have so much to chose from. Wish I had that problem. LOL. I like that RR Bowie knife.

Great video, I concentrated on the MK 2 knives this year, still looking for the Ka-Bar MK 1. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas.
What about the two "conan" Hollywood fantasy swords?
They're certainly iconic
Well, I bought three swords, two axes/tomahawks, and 5 Cold Steel Large folding knives. My collection is rather large.
'Knives no grown man should be interested in.' Haha....
I love my kabars and my bk9
By God you explained the hell out of this video didn't you. Just kidding Tobias
Yeah, I really enjoy talking about knives. Apparently more so than I should. LOL.
@KnifeChatswithTobias no I didn't say that. Was just joking with you Tobias. No offense meant
@@rickyhurtt5568 , no sweat. I knew your were joking. (but to be fair. You were right. LOL. No offense was taken.
Way too many knives for a 5 knife video, its as if you don't understand numbers. Half the video was dedicated to knives that didn't make the cut.
