Best fixed blade for edc?

[BladeLover97]

I'm looking for a good fixed blade knife that's from 4-5 inches long and under $50, but no Mora's

That's a bit of a tough one, I don't find much in the sub $50 range I like that is that size.

But here is an Ontario Shiv that is $53 at Amazon. I did carry this knife for a while and the slim design made it easy to carry. I kept it attached to my belt and tucked in my back pocket. I find it very easy to carry a knife that way. The sheath I got isn't all that good, but I had a talk with the Ontario guys at Blade and they are working on that. In fact they had a Shiv there with a new style sheath and it was better than the one I have for sure. I'm not sure if they are already shipping with the new sheath or not but if I could choose I would get the new one.

Becker BK11 or BK14. I'm guessing by 3-4 inches you mean blade length?

I believe that Boker Plus might have a couple.

I vote Becker BK-14. Hands down.

Have you looked at a Woodswalker? http://www.agrussell.com/ag-russell-woodswalker-in-leather-hip-pocket-sheath/p/AGPRS/

Becker bk14 or better yet the bk24

 

[K.O.D.]

I agree with the Becker suggestions. My only fixed I edc is an Izula, which is a bit smaller than your specs.

 

[BladeLover97]

a 4 to 5 inch blade length and the Becker bk 14 and 24 are to close to the 11 I wear as my neck knife

The CRKT Minimalist isn't a bad option but it doesn't meet your length criteria.

Best fixed blade for edc?

...and under $50...

There are lots of great little fixed blades that would be suitable.

The problem is the Best of them will cost you more then 50 bucks.

Ive changed the length to 4-5 inces

You will find that extra inch can be a bit cumbersome for EDC.


Though that is my preferred size for a woods knife.

Woods classic style how about a condor Kephart

More modern style - Gerber fixed gator

Military style. Older style SOG seal pup. Can find for forty bucks at a large internet knife store right now

I think if you could get a modified Old Hickory knife would be cool, great versions have been made, cost varies. Or for just a handy one, try one of the Russell green river knives.

I would recommend the Ka-bar. TDI. Awesome knife and used and recommended by police officers.

I don't think the angle from blade to handle would be very useful for every day cutting. Can you place something on a table or flat surface and chop it?
