What Makes the Best Field Fixed Blade Knife | Tactical Rifleman

I want to give a big "THANKS" to our Sponsor: NAGR

===I love knives. So, when people started asking us to do knife reviews, I thought this would be fun. I'm not big on wasting a weekly video just reviewing a single knife and just regurgitating the marketing points that the knife company sends in the box. Rather, I'd prefer to see some "head-to-head" discussion. That brought us to reaching out to a bunch of knife companies, asking them to send us their "best" knife in three categories:
Best EDC Folding Knife
Best EDC Fixed-blade Knife
Best Fixed Blade Field Knife
Many companies never responded back to our email. Others seemed interested but never came through. So, before you bitch that we didn't test "YOUR" favorite knife; remember that these knives were sent from companies to represent them. Not everyone wanted to be involved with this test. Maybe that will change next year.
The Test: This video covers entries for the Best Fixed Blade Field Knife. While I love knives and train with them; I deferred to Randy "Rawhide" Wurst and Imri Morgenstern, because both live and breath knives. Both teach knife fighting. Imri even makes knives professionally. They each took half of the entries, played with them for a week; swapped piles, and played with those for a week. Then, I brought them together and they brain stormed different ways to make each knife shine or fail.
The Knives listed by video order:
1. Browning GG Bush Craft Zebra
2. Buck Ground Combat Knife
3. Cold Steel SRK (VG-10 San Mai)
4. Skallywag Gunnersmate
5. ESEE - 6
6. Kershaw Camp-10
7. Off Grid Knives Tracker
8. Cold Steel Outdoorsman San Mai

So, What did we find out?
First, it sucked that I wasn't included in this; because I would have loved to get a couple new knives.
Second, both Randy and Imri both CHANGED their initial opinion. Let that sink in: they both picked knives they liked, during initial viewing that they thought would win. However, after further testing, both changed their minds and fell in love with a different blade. Point is, don't just trust your eyes or the marketing flare... do your homework and test stuff out.
These are all great knives.
Some are better than others. A few are much better than others. Also, please note that Randy's opinion is different than Imri's, and will be different from your opinion. So, again, if we didn't pick your favorite knife or your company wasn't represented here; don't bitch too hard. I didn't have a say, but I'm the one answering the comments. Note that we were NOT paid a dime to lean in anyone's favor. Big thanks to Imri and Randy for running this test.
We'll have more great tests in the near future.
I hope you enjoyed the video. Strength & Honor, TR.
