Do you carry fixed blade as EDC ? if yes which one ? I carry two folding and 1 fixed at all times except when I have to dress up for an occasion, I will carry one folding 3" 3.5"in one of my breast pocket. I have more fixed blades but these are the knives I carry the fixed blades that I EDC the most.

I owe a thanks to Lapedog for selling the Bradford to me and also convincing me to get the Street Beat. I got the Wharnie all by myself.

95% of the time - a pair of Kabar 125X 3/4 Utilities (aka shorties) and a BK11.

The other 5% -
Various Westerns L46-5, L46-6, L46-8, L48A, L48B, F48A, F48B, W49, K1, K2, K3
Various Kabars 1217, 1221, 1227, 1229, 1281
Becker BK-9, BK-7, BK-21, BK-6

and for when I feeling really froggy, one of my 50+ artillery swords or sword bayonets from the 1800's, just because I can.
 
From time to time, I'll carry my Benchmade 162 Bushcraft. It is the best fixed blade I own.

Last month, I think, or maybe January, this was with me a fair amount. A 2016/17 Dawson Mercury in damascus with desert ironwood scales. Recyled pic.

Recently got in from my friend Raj out west, a Bradford USA Guardian 3.5 that I am quite fond of and carry it as well, call me fickle lol...
this photo shows the sheath, I made the vertical adapter seen there so it carries vertical now instead of horizontal as intended...

Oh boy. Now you have done it, Sir. Now you have gone and done it.

Like most others here, I have an rotation of EDC gear I carry, depending on certain circumstances, such as personal tastes on the day in the question, the weather, and the like.

This is an assortment of every fixed blade I've carried at one time or another for EDC purposes, generally two or sometimes three at a time. KA-BAR, Cold Steel, Ontario, and Kershaw.

And if someone knows the secret for posting a picture rather than a simple link, I'd be happy to hear it.

Been carrying a Mora Eldris in my front jeans pocket for the last couple of months. Brings new definition to the term "pocket knife".

That thing really fills the hand! I keep seeing it at the local Bass Pro and I'm tempted. How aggressive a cutter is it with that short blade?

I have not found the shortness of the blade to be a limitation. It works for everything I do around the house, everything from opening boxes, cutting flash off plastic parts, cutting twine, poking holes, trimming plants in the garden. Worked fantastic at putting a point on a stake for a new garden plant.

Go to your pic on Imgur, tap (or click) on the pic once. Then select the share icon. Choose the option to copy the link to your clipboard. Then, in your BF post, choose the icon with the mountain and sun. In the pop-up, paste the link you copied from Imgur. Easy peasy.
