I love fixed blade knives. Always have. There’s something about the simplicity and strength of a solid piece of steel that just feels right in the hand. So when I was scrolling through Amazon and saw the Civivi Tamashii, it caught my eye immediately. It looked sleek, had that tactical vibe, and honestly, it just…
I didn’t buy the Vosteed Mini Labrador expecting to be impressed. I went with the all-black titanium version because it looked slick in the pictures, but in my head it was destined to be just another small, lightweight dress knife — nice to handle, forgettable in the pocket, and not something I’d reach for when I needed a real cutter. But after carrying it, sharpening it, and pushing it through a variety of daily tasks, I’ll admit it: this little knife has teeth. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot more capable than its size suggests.
I wasn’t planning to buy the Benchmade Taggedout. Let’s get that out of the way. I’ve never been huge on Benchmade’s pricing strategy — they’re right up there with Apple in terms of charging top dollar for modest updates. But thanks to a killer combo of Ace Hardware reward points, stacked coupons, and a little impulse weakness, I got this $300 folder for $150. That made it interesting enough to justify a real-world review.

I’ve tested a lot of knives, and it’s safe to say that I’m not easy to surprise at this point. But the W-Flat Camp Knife from Odenwolf genuinely caught me off guard. Durable, lightweight and able to hold an edge like a champ, this might just be the best budget bushcraft knife that isn’t a Mora.
We’ve thoroughly inspected the Cold Steel 4-MAX Scout and found it to be an exceptional tool for various tasks. The AUS 10A steel blade, with its impressive heat treatment, guarantees excellent edge retention while the high flat grind design offers precise slicing and chopping.

Some fixed blades are weekend toys. The LionSteel M7 is a working tool. If your trips involve clearing trail, building camp, and processing real wood, this is the kind of knife you want riding on your hip. It hits that rare balance of brute strength and fine control, and it does it with fit and finish you usually pay a lot more for.

The EAB Lite has a lot going for it. It’s small and lightweight, slips easily in and out of one’s pocket, and takes up very little real estate wherever you decide to carry it. The all-stainless-steel design feels sturdy despite its small size, and it’s surprisingly comfortable in my hand considering how many hard edges it has.
I’ve gotten to be a fan of BPS knives, having spent some time with a couple of their bushcraft knives over the last couple of years, most notably the BPS Adventurer Camping Knife. But the BPS Citizen is something a bit different.
The real head-turner is that these knives are actually good. And if a Chinese company can make knives that are competitively priced and high enough quality to play with the big boys, there’s no reason they shouldn’t deserve a place at the table. That’s the free market, baby.
I made a choice recently to buy some cheap, no-name-brand made-in-China knock-off knives off of Amazon and find out if they’re any good. Why did I decide to do this? Who knows. Do I regret it? Maybe a little.
