Bigger Digger Review | One of the Best Fixed Blades Under $100!
Published: 6 days ago
???? Welcome to JuhVon's Knife Flicks, your go to spot for honest knife reviews, EDC picks, and budget blade finds from a guy who actually carries and uses this stuff!
Today I'm reviewing the StraightLine EDC Bigger Digger, the larger follow up to last year's popular Digger, co designed by David C. Anderson (KnifeCenter) and Igor Bortolussi.
After carrying and using this knife, I can confidently say they didn't just make it bigger, they made it better for hard use tasks while keeping everything that made the original so much fun to carry.
The Bigger Digger offers more handle, more cutting edge, and even better ergonomics, making it an outstanding companion for hiking, camping, woodworking, food prep, and everyday utility.
In this review I cover:
Design philosophy behind the Bigger Digger
14C28N blade performance
Cutting tests
Ergonomics
Pocket carry
Kydex sheath
UltiClip compatibility
Size comparisons
Weight
Measurements
Overall value
Manufactured by Bestech, the Bigger Digger combines premium fit and finish with excellent blade geometry, making it one of the best fixed blade values available for under $100.
Whether you're considering the original Little Digger or the new Bigger Digger, hopefully this review helps you decide which one fits your carry style.
Which would you choose—the Little Digger or the Bigger Digger?
