Countycomm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\nI usually shy away from talking about fixed blade knives here. They\u2019re a little archaic in my book. You can\u2019t carry them around willy nilly, they need a sheathe for safe storage. The fixed blade design feels a little restrictive when it comes to just design and innovation (this website is FILLED with interesting flippers and switchblades), and in the rare occasion that I DO talk about fixed blades, it\u2019s usually because of a highly unique element in its design. With the Compact R4A, it\u2019s clearly the handle. With the military-grade glowing material that Countycomm developed in-house, this knife is just captivatingly intuitive to use. The handle glows bright, so you know where the knife is and how to grip it. Would it be best for tactical situations? Probably not, given it\u2019ll probably give your position away to the enemy \u2013 but for regular indoor and outdoor use, this knife is as eye-catching as it is handy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just to get the details about the handle out of the way \u2013 it\u2019s ergonomically designed, ambidextrous, and features a two-part handle, secured together with titanium bolts. The UGM Glow material recharges just in regular light, and according to Countycomm, can last for up to 24 hours on a \u2018full charge\u2019. Interestingly enough, the handle glows as bright as the light it\u2019s exposed to. Place it out in the harsh sun and come sunset, your Compact R4A emanates a bright green hue. Place it, however, near a lamp, and the glow still remains, albeit mildly subdued.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The fixed-blade Compact R4A measures a cool 7 inches in length, featuring a fairly tiny 3\u2033 blade. The blade comes fashioned out of high-carbon D2 steel, complete with a black stonewashed finish and a drop-point design that feels fairly straightforward. Countycomm isn\u2019t trying to break any rules or rewrite any playbook here. The purpose of the Compact R4A is clear \u2013 make a knife that does the job, and is different enough to stand out against a bunch of other knives. With that phosphorescent glow, it certainly does.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Having a fixed blade design does come with a few advantages. For starters, its full-tang blade (which can be seen sandwiched between the two handles) gives the knife incredible robustness, which means you can wield it rather confidently, striking hard without fear of the blade shutting or shattering. This confidence comes with a small trade-off \u2013 you may end up wearing the blade down if you use the Compact R4A for intense activities like piercing wood on the regular. The simple drop point design offers a clever benefit here \u2013 it\u2019s fairly easy to sharpen, making maintenance simple. Countycomm only plans on making 1000 of these knives, and each one comes serialized, making it unique to you. The knives start at $45 and ship with a 1-year warranty.<\/p>\n
