Best Horizontal and Scout Carry Knives - Tested and Reviewed

We have tested dozens of horizontal and scout carry knives over the last three years. We cover six of them in this video, but you can find a lot more information about many more horizontal carry knives in this article on Nothing But Knives.

The knives covered in this article are as follows:
0:00 We'd Rather be Writing
0:37 ESEE Izula 2
1:43 SOG Altair
4:27 Off Grid Hoglet

Our hands on tests of these knives included a variety of tasks from chopping, to carving with a mix of batoning and feather sticking. We also opened a lot of beer bottles with them.

Most of the knives we chose for this video have blades under 4 inches, because we find that smaller knives are more convenient for horizontal carry. However, we have talked to many folks who like to scout or horizontal carry larger knives, so we included two of our favorite survival knives.

I love the guy popping brews with every knife except the Bradford 😂

Love the sense of humor in this video. Great job!

[rickyhurtt]

I love it. This is so much better (atleast half of it) than seeing a bunch of hard tails chopping wood. These are real selling points for real people

Don't know what I like better. the REAL review of actual knife use or the narration. Keep up the good work! I personally don't like horizontal carry because of my toothpick waist either. But I'm working on it.

Kudos to the drinker, he shows the true and proper knife use. BK7 is my scout carry and the Jarosz

One thing to know with Scout / small of the back carry is that is you ever fall on your back or are thown to your back, you can suffer a catastrophic spinal injury. As a retired Tac medic, I always taught that no gear should be directly over the spine for this reason.

The excitement and joy in his voice is infectious.

Best thing I have learned from this is which type of knives can double as bottle openers! Love it! Thanks for the video

Love the dry delivery and actual examples of what the knives were intended for. The voice reminds me of a certain Knife Bro. Liked and subscribed.
