Published: 1 week ago
In this video, I break down my favorite fixed blade knives of 2025 — the blades I actually carry, train with, and trust as a martial artist, outdoorsman, and everyday carry practitioner.

Whether you’re a knife collector, survivalist, martial artist, or someone looking for a dependable fixed blade, this list is designed to help you cut through the noise and find what truly works.
