I'm glad to see the Hunt'n Fisch getting some traction. Mine lives at my desk year round for daily tasks while I'm working. It cuts a lot of paper and fruit. I also add it to my hunting kit in the fall and winter as my go to squirrel knife.
In response to the “thwack” feature in question, I think the question is highlighting the feeling more than speed. So my response would suggest knives that open with a very short moment arm; or small flipper. I.e. Kizer cormorant due to its ‘flipper’ being so close to the pivot
For edc fixed blades that can fit multiple rolls I like my c.u.t 4 and bark river jx4 bush bat. I'd really like to get a feel of the fox monkey thumper too
Knife question. Has anyone used or heard of using a ceramic coatings (like the ones used in auto industry) to protect a very tough steel say m4 or cruwear for example with almost no corrosion resistance?
Greetings DCA from land down under 🇦🇺. Can you please recommend me a knife that is slim ish to carry but also built like a tank. For example i have the ad 20.5 in titanium, slim midi and norseman. I like their profile of slimness yet oh so reliable tanks. Preferably full titanium and max budget of 800$. Thank you and more power!
I’d love to see you, Thomas and Seth V. Do a video on different characters from movies and what knives they’d carry… today. Like to characters each… maybe choosing for each other and then you have to present in a video! I bet it would be funny and fun!

If you round the secondary edge off of a tanto is it still a tanto?

The fastest you can get is a fixed blade

What are the most iconic fixed blades in terms of brands and models that one should consider when getting into fixed blades.

Fillet knives probably not but if that's all you got it's better than nothing
