On the mid-week supplemental episode of The Knife Junkie podcast (episode 396), Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco looks at 10 great fixed blade knives for your EDC bag, including the TOPS Rapid Strike, SOG SEAL Pup (The Knife Junkie's bag knife) and the Off-Gid Cleaver 2, among others -- as well as two runners-up because of size and weight.

Bob starts the show with his favorite comment of the week, which came from his #shorts video "5 Intimidating Bowies," followed by his "pocket check" of knives -- the TRM Atom, Jack Wolf Knives Javelina Jack, The Knife Junkie/Hogtooth Knives NoVA-1, and the Ritter Hogue Mini RSK Mk1 (Emotional Support Knife). 

In Knife Life News, Ostap Hel’s latest knife in the Bestech Bouquet series, TuffKnives collaborates with Civivi on a fixed blade Tanto, Virginia's switchblade concealed carry ban repeal is up for the governor’s signature, and Amazon Smile no longer gives to Knife Rights (or any other nonprofit!).

Meanwhile in his "State of the Collection," Bob shows off the Tier 1 folding Scythe Prototype.
