For years, I’ve relied on a folding knife as my go-to everyday carry (EDC) tool. But after experiencing the benefits of fixed blade knives, I’ve decided to ditch folding knives for good. In this video, I’ll share my personal journey, the pros and cons of each style, and why I believe horizontal carry fixed blades are a game changer.
I’ll also be reviewing two incredible custom knives from Primitive Woodsman and TEPFOR Armory, explaining how they’ve changed the way I think about EDC. I’ll dive into the unique features of the Primitive Woodsman Foxfire and the TEPFOR Armory No. 13, and demonstrate how to properly carry, use, and maintain these high-quality tools.
If you’re someone who loves tactical gear, bushcraft, or simply wants to level up your EDC game, this video is for you. Whether you’re a fan of Benchmade, Microtech, or new to Ridge Runner Blades, you’ll find valuable insights in today’s video.
