Cheers bro! Thank you🙂
Really like that. Just wish the handle was slightly bigger.
Totally hear you. If this model is enough of a hit, we have ideas for adding a slightly larger version to the lineup as well.
@@ArenaAccessories That's great. Thank you for the response.
@@ArenaAccessories Would be even nicer if you started to ship internationally, or at least to have a distributor...
We europeans like your products as well, too bad we can't buy them.
I prefer pepper spray, won’t be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
I love pepper spray in many cases, sometimes more force is needed
Knives and pepper spray are in two completely different tiers.
Can you make a video about "tops knives street scalpel 2" plsss
tak for den gode video 👍 hvor kan man købe den henne? har søgt på nettet, men kunne desværre ikke finde nogen steder og købe den?
I have a link in the description, my friend
Traine your grabing.. traine each finger to strike very hard into the ribs..create harms high resistance and speed.. avoid proximity to a identified target. How ever if you need to engage into him get full body contact grabe him and strike once or twice.. that blade it is nasty for that.. close quarters no space type of flighting style
I really like that you demonstrated on a pine that was already dying. That says a lot about you as a person.
Incredible job on this review! I designed this as my "dream fixed blade" in regards to size and carry. Fixed blades are awesome, but not always practical for EDC. It's one of those blades that you won't fully "get" until it is in your hand, and until you see how slim the kydex sheath and clip setup are. I wear it while seated, constantly (and don't even realize it). Everyone who has had one in their hand on clipped to their waist so far has said the same thing. We will be using this knife as a platform for future customization. Things we want to produce, include additional hardware colors, handle scale materials (carbon fiber, anodized titanium, aluminum, copper, brass, or even G10), as well as different blade finishes. We have to walk, before we run. After this initial production run of 500 pieces starts to sell out, we will be dropping additional accessories for this knife.
We've already had requests for making it in a 'super-steel', which we are seriously also considering. For what it is, I think that Sandvik is more than enough. An edge-retentive, corrosion resistant steel that won't break the bank. It is also a lot easier to resharpen, whenever needed. Pound for pound, one of the best bangs for the buck in the budget-friendly knife world. I'm all about value, over bragging rights. The collectors that want super-steels usually aren't always even utilizing them. To me personally, it makes little to no sense to have to blow $100-200 on an EDC fixed blade just for a specialty steel; especially when I also rotate my daily carry constantly. What do you guys think? For this type of knife, would you like to see it in a higher-end steel than Sandvik?
i appreciate you making this at an affordable price. most knives now a days hundreds of dollars.
Can I buy it in Switzerland? I can't order it from the shop, because of no international shipping.
@user-rh1zg6bc1n Sorry, but we can only ship to the US and Canada (phone orders only). It's a difficult decision, but we just have been burned too many times internationally with unreliable tracking and fraudulent orders. Sorry 😞
@@ArenaAccessories What a shame, but I totally understand you. However, the knife seems to be a great one!
@@JanSonnemann Thank you so much!
It looks great in my opinion I'm trying to design a small edc similar to this but without the finger ring.
Funny you say that, because I actually have sketches where I played around with having a sort of 3 quarter finger choil. The gap it left made the blade a bit too weak, so we ended up sticking to the ring structure. Kudos on designing, though. It sure is satisfying to create something that is both useful and stylish.
I got my bk2 kabar as an everyday carry. Way too big. So its strapped on my backpack. This is nice. I have my spyderco fighting knife but a fixed blade is a lot faster. Thanks for the review.
I bought that knife right after I saw your review because that is exactly one of my favorite style of knives. U sold me immediately on that one, we need more knives of that style. I ditched the clip and put some straps on mine. Its a nice clip but I prefer straps that give u the option to carry on both sides. Thanks for sharing.
I'm certainly what you would call a "fixed blade guy" after living through an experience where i had about 3 seconds to really regret the limited self defense options of a $200+ flipper needless to say i was extremely fortunate and decided that even though i am a felon and firearms aren't a viable option to me any longer doesn't mean that i am going to give into helplessness with all that being said.. i place allot of value in the mental deturant capabilities of a 5" to 7" blade carried openly in the same horizontal cross body draw.. yes i get looks it's a regular occurrence even comments from the horde of Karen's plaguing the earth.. do i care? Well to be honest with you... Not even a little matter of fact i would miss it at this point
Thanks for your review and techniques. I like it. I'm deep into a knife collection now, and own more knives than I'll ever need, so doubt I'd add one to my collection. Still a good looking stinger though.
Wow. That's a great value, and it looks like it will be easy to carry.
A folding knife is what you use to fight till you can get to your fixed blade. 🐝
The law will consider it a deadly weapon, just because you didn’t intend it to be lethal, they won’t care. Use it when your life is in danger, not as a less than lethal.
You make a good point, depending upon the prosecutor.
My reply not showing for some reason. But yes, a knife will always be considered deadly. Some blades just have less capabilities, depending on how they’re used especially a short one.
@@411Outdoors agreed. Less lethal, is terminology similar to Less than Lethal, but means different things.
Your boot or your shoe can also be considered lethal, especially of you kick someone in the head. What's important to remember is, any lib prosecutor will use whatever you use to defend yourself against you! Our laws have become so self-defeating even when in the right, you risk jail time. That's where we are today...
@@tntshuffle-9799 Here in Australia it's even worse. You have to be just about dead before you can defend yourself legally, still in my opinion self defense is God given right to all Humans.
Finally a small ring knife in a decent steel, with a decent holster that you can *actually* access the ring from! I appreciate you bringing this one to my attention pretty much exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome!
This is an excellent channel. I am putting this fixed blade on my short list of EDC items to buy. How do I make sure you get some sort of commission or acknowledgement for my purchase? I also took your recommendation to buy the plastic knucks. I bought 2 pair of those. One for me and one for my son. With the knucks I can go into some places with a self defense weapon where normally you wouldn't be able to go.
That’s awesome my friend! Thank you so much. The link I provided in this video is my affiliate link.🙂👍
Thanks for the PSA!
I really like that sucker. Thank you so much for the good review. It looks like a knife I plan on getting. I like the finger hole for stability and as you know no one wants to lose their knife in a life or death situation. In a self-defense situation we have to size up the situation fast and decide what is necessary to diffuse the situation. I agree with you that a good knife, more importantly a fixed blade, is a good option for self-defense. I have a couple folding assisted knives that are nice for EDC but in the event of having to use it for self-defense Im a little leary, I study the liner lock to see if the blade is securely set in the liner lock. With the knife you just reviewed I won't have any issues with blade failure. Love your channel. God bless and have a good day. 😎👍
Thanks so much! You as well!🙂
Blades work. Just not in every situ. One can look to that story of the 11 yr old who cracked a home invader over the head with his machete for example. Was just a little kid but it worked in the situation. However if your opponent has a pew pew then you may not want to try & take him with a knife etc. Especially if your out in the open but blades are extremly useful in tight spaces. Its all about context & id recommend carrying both if one can.
You’re exactly right
Interesting blade. Thanks for sharing. See ya next time. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Thanks for coming!
That looks like a nice stinger . Float like a butterfly,
Did everything you show , as far as the attachments, come with yours or is it extra?
Yes it all comes together 👍
Excellent
Cool knife. I tuck my shirt in, can you recommend a position for a fixed blade EDC?
I would do a discreet pocket carry. It can get more expensive with those designs but the one I reviewed this past Friday is the best I’ve seen for discreet pocket carry. It’s pricey but USA made. Then again, you don’t have to spend that much and you could purchase a smaller blade and get a discrete carry concept clip and added to that knife. I may need to do a video on this soon. The tops saw02 pocket Carrie’s great
Agree strongly with the 2 blade carry idealogy. I have two set ups depending on what I'm wearing or doing. The light rig being a Kershaw Switchback for work paired with a Cold Steel mini Leatherneck for defense. The bigger setup if I'm wearing jeans or shorts with a belt and enough pockets; Benchmade AFO automatic and a Cold Steel Counter Tac. Both usually with work blade on the strong(gun) side and the fixed blade on the weak side.
Great video !! again !
Thank you! Cheers!

@@zdravkostankov255 oh, I gotcha. I’m not sure I’ve seen any of those except for movies once or twice I’d be interested in seeing what you looking at.
That is one cool fixed blade 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thats a great blade with a great price!!!
Just ordered 2!..Made them aware I saw it here!
Nice!! Thanks bro🙂👊
Thanks so much! We will get them shipped out today for you. Let me know what you think :)
@@ArenaAccessories you're welcome!!!
I definitely believe in carrying a knife for self defense, fixed blade especially. I do, I carry a Swiss Army Knife for utility purposes.
What kind of edge retention does the steel on the fixed blade have?.
If you did a lot of cutting with this steel, the retention probably would not be that great, but it is easy to sharpen. Something like this I don’t use on utilities anyway.
@@411Outdoors I probably wouldn't do a lot of cutting with it, only pull if/when I have to. Is the steel a stainless steel?.
@@podsmpsg1 it is 👍
@@411Outdoors Thanks.
@podsmpsg1 Sandvik 14C28N is an incredibly edge-retentive, budget friendly steel. It is a Swedish, stainless steel that is crazy rust and corrosion resistant. I actually prefer it to D2, because it is super close to D2 but without the high maintenance.
Just a little joke. One man carried his folder for EDC and self-defense; one day he had to use his knife and upon impact of the strike his blade folded (failed), 🙄 cutting off his four fingers; I guess no one will be buying him a knife anytime soon. 😂 For self-defense go fixed not fold. Fingers are good,👍 and thumbs. 😂🤪
How did a blade buried deep in the attackers guts cut off his fingers.?
Haha! 💯
If you're going to use a folder in a self defence situation, you should slash with it rather than stab, then you don't risk putting pressure on the locking mechanism and have it fail on you.
@@Andygb78 That's a good idea. Thank you for the information. 😎👍
Still haven't answered the question regarding your statement @@Eric-cm9ri
There is no such thing as a "less than lethal knife." Ask a lawyer.
I designed this more as a handy utility knife that I can conceal for comfortable carry. It's cool how everyone sees it in an entirely different light. Jeff from Cutlery Lover channel loved it most as a neck knife carry. Different styles and different strokes for different folks! It is a very capable little blade. If I designed it for self defense, it would have had at least another inch or so of blade.
Less than lethal is not about the idea as much as it’s capabilities. It is of course about to be lethal but it many cases it won’t be. People seem to be more worried about the law than their own survival though.
@411Outdoors I totally hear you. It would take fair effort to not be lethal with how it was used, trying to avoid major arteries and instead in a way where it would thwart the attacker or immobilize them enough to get away. One move and it could most definitely be deadly just as a hammer or a brick. Those just are not as easily concealed or carried.
Knives are tools, and while they can be dangerous, they also can add a lot of function. Your car or motorcycle can help kill you. Time and unexpected events befall us all. Are you going to avoid the roadways because of this? Not practical. You also can be sued at any time if you happen to harm someone in a car accident. There is risk of this constantly in life. It doesn't mean it can be avoided entirely, ever.
@@ArenaAccessories A hammer or a rock is not always and necessarily a lethal weapon, until it is used as such. But any gun or knife is always a lethal weapon, even if it isn't used as such, or even if it merely sits in a cutlery drawer. There is never a situation where a gun or a knife is not considered a lethal weapon, unlike the unused hammer in the toolbox or the rock in the yard.
Thanks for the video.
As I've said many times, I'm paranoid about putting my finger into a hole like that. I would be afraid of the knife hitting something, twisting, and breaking my finger. I accept that the relatively short blade makes that scenario less likely. If I were going to get a knife with a ring, this might be the one to choose.
One of my first thoughts on seeing a little knife like that is that it could be attached to a staff of some kind fairly easily. If one were stuck in the wild for a while, one could use this knife to make a spear. Ideally, one would find a solid limb of a useful length. One could cut a long groove in one end of the limb. The knife could be put into the groove and lashed in place with cordage. The ring would help make that connection more secure. This kind of spear could make hunting rabbits easier. While this blade wouldn't stay in a fish very easily, the right technique could make this spear effective for fishing in a survival situation.
I'll at least take a look at this one. Maybe I can't make peace with the ring, but my nephew is a knife enthusiast. I'm not aware that he shares my paranoia.
You would have a heck of a time twisting or bending this thing. It is super rigid, even with the hole. The pokey stick / spear idea is also a great point in a survival hunting or self defense situation. Quick and easy "stinger stick"! 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting. It always helps the algorithm.
@@ArenaAccessories I'm not talking about twisting or bending the knife. I'm talking about the knife staying rigid and maintaining the integrity of its shape but twisting or turning in a way that would break my finger. That's my fear with any of these knives that have finger holes. I have the same fear with brass knuckles or any variation of knuckles. They aren't gong to twist or bend. If they go in the wrong directions, they'll break my fingers.
Really enjoy your content. One issue with fixed blades is that it’s often illegal to carry them concealed.
Thank you! They can be, especially if too long
