Bob DeMarco counts down 15 of his favorite nasty little knives built for self-defense and concealment on Episode 662 of The Knife Junkie Podcast. From the Shivworks Clinch Pick, born from real-world undercover encounters, to the Station IX No.4 SOE Lapel Dagger, inspired by World War II spy weapons, these are blades that stay hidden and stay ready. Bob shares the stories behind each knife, explains what makes them effective, and talks about why small fixed blades deserve a place in your carry rotation.

Before the main topic, Bob runs through a loaded Pocket Check featuring the Strider SMF CC, the Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow in Miami camo carbon, the AUX MFG Mini Spike, and the Boker Arbolito Bowie. He also gives a TKell Knives spotlight, covering the MR1, the Agent 001, and the Frogman Field Knife, along with details on how to get 10% off with the Knife Junkie coupon code.

In Knife Life News, Bob covers the Buck of the Month 838 Deploy Auto in Magnacut, the TOPS Upswarm designed by blade grinder Eric Mooney, the We Knife Inceptus from Robert Saniscalchi, and the new Civivi Overyonder designed by Zac Whitmore. The First Tool segment takes a look at the Hira-Zukuri, a Japanese blade form with no shinogi ridge, and the State of the Collection features the Smith Tinder Maker for fire-starting kits.

The 15 nasty little knives include the Shivworks Clinch Pick, Cold Steel Urban Edge, Kopis Designs L-Via, Fudo Forge Scalpel, Shed Knives Skeletal Skur, Bastinelli Anomaly, TKell FLN, 310 Forge Scalper, AUX MFG Broadhead, Station IX No.4 SOE Lapel Dagger, Failed Negotiations Pikal, Gunfighter Customs Gunfighter, Regiment Blades Low-Viz, TOPS Ephyra, and the Pinkerton Broadhead.

Whether you carry for self-defense or just love seeing purpose-built small fixed blades, this episode is for you. Bob brings real knowledge and obvious enthusiasm to every knife on the list, and the stories behind them are just as interesting as the knives themselves.
