A knife brand you will see shilled nonstop on Reddit and other soy places is Spyderco. They are popular because of their unusual designs and consumerist Funko Pop like practice of releasing extremely limited designs to trick retards into thinking they are special and buying them. These knives are mostly made out of a cheap plastic material they trick you into thinking long is special by calling it “fiberglass reinforced nylon” when it is really just fucking plastic. They are very expensive but if you were to hand one to someone who isn’t into knives they would probably think it costs $20 from Walmart not $200. “But plastic is light” so is titanium and aluminum which both feel much better and nicer but go ahead and keep justifying paying exorbitant prices for inferior materials. These knives also come in a shitty box with nothing else. When you buy a Protech knife they are made of aluminum and the quality control is impeccable. They are masterfully machined and you can feel the quality. They come in a special box that folds open and a fabric pouch. When you buy a Spyderco with the Golden Colorado stamp you can notice many flaws like the blade not being centered ect and it just comes in a cheap no frills box. I actually live near the Golden factory and every time I’ve gone their they have barely any knives for sale. The employees are rude and mostly fat women who don’t seem to even know very much. I’m guessing these are the same people making them so that explains why they are so poor quality. So yeah I would recommend buying Protech or WE knives instead. WE knives have amazing quality control and are made in China. Protech are made in California. Both these brands are better than Spyderco and cost roughly the same amount and aren’t used by faggot Redditors.

Fixed blade knives are far more practically useful than any folder/pocketknife.

Survival shit: batoning/wood splitting, imprivastion as a spear, even wood carving or cutting off chips or feather stick is much easier and faster with a fixed blade knife

shanking people: idk never tried it but all the great fighting knives are fixed blade full tang and usually with a double edge.

tools: a gerber will serve you better for less weight. if you want to go old school a swiss army knife is actually pretty handy as well and the blade isn't as bad as a gerber but it's kind of an awkward in between and i'd rather have a gerber and a fixed blade imo.

Seems dangerous to me to carry around a fixed blade, idk. I get it has a sheath but still

If they're advertising the shit on places like reddit or youtube or whatever it's mall ninja shit. Applies to any sort of "weapon" but especially knives.

Who even needs a $200 knife anyways. Surely any kitchen knife is sufficient to kill someone

Reddit fags will insist that you need one. I do collect knives however you can get a $40 knife that is 70% as good as the $200 one. The more expensive ones just look nicer and maybe the steel will stay sharper a bit longer but it really isn’t necessary. You can get a cheap brand Kershaw at Walmart which is all you really need.

You should check out Esee knives. Those are beast fixed blades.

>thinking brand knives are anything but throwaway scrap metal
do westoids really?
if you want an actual knife you go to your neighborhood knife maker and buy solid and heavy fixed blade traditional knife forged in front of your eyes from the chunk of steel. you keep it in a leather sheath and only wash it with either oil or animal fat
