SRK LeBlanc - Small Details Review - Self Reliant Knives LC200N Fixed Blade EDC Camping Paring Knife
Published: 2 years ago
Today we're doing something a little different for the channel: heading to the kitchen to review a fixed blade knife from Self Reliant Knives called the LeBlanc! This spectacular little EDC fixed blade was sent to me by Alex LeBlanc, after whom the knife was named, and while it will ALSO tear through cardboard and other EDC tasks like a true champ, I think it makes the *perfect* portable paring knife for camping.
