EDC Fixed Blades, Sheaths, & Carry Methods (Traditional)

I have these two pocket sized fixed blades. They are both about 6 1/2" total length. They both fit nicely into the right front pocket and I have carried the Menefee occasionally. I am not a fan of the Kydex sheath on the Dozier.

Nice set-up, Tom! That's exactly what I do with my little Dozier. The paracord is sized to loop over my belt and hang in my front pocket. I also have aftermarket pocket and belt sheaths that fit it as well. I use the pocket and belt sheaths for several different knives.

Nice Dozier’s! I have been thinking about one of those for quite a while. There should be a “report” function for Porch enablers :)

Beautiful blades!!👍👍👍
There's another fixed and folder thread where traditional folders appear frequently!!!

What a great thread!

Why haven’t I seen it???

Because I never venture off the Porch 😂.

I have always been surprised that this is not a thread topic that someone had already started in the traditional forum since several guys carry a fixed knives with their traditional folder. But perhaps they post in other threads from time to time. I did recognize a few names over there in the world of General posting 😃. It does remind me that BF is a much bigger place than our Traditional slice of the pie 😄.

Thanks for linking this thread. Tons of great posts here!

I by no means am qualified to start this thread.

But, the man who definitely is… @ephsea , sent me a package in the mail today that was a total surprise. In it was an awesome Cudeman Sanabria II in BURLAP 💪🏼. THANKS SO MUCH F.C. for the awesome gift!

I have been attracted to EDC fixed blades for some time, but have not taken the plunge because I know myself and I know I will get tossed head first down the rabbit hole and my wallet may never forgive me😂.

The Cudeman is a great size and I have mentioned elsewhere on the porch that I’m not sure why we don’t see more of this maker on the forum. I really look forward to using it!

Perhaps this can be a thread for all the fixed EDC eye candy to accumulate! I know that F.C. can surely put on a show!

Thanks again buddy!

Cool knife, Jon, and a great gesture, F.C.

I started carrying fixed blades a lot more once I figured out what size I like and how I like to carry them. For me 5-6 inches is the sweet spot. I like to either drop it in my pocket in a sheath or clip them in my pocket in a sheath. Kydex or leather work for me. Here are the few small ones I have, pictured with a GEC 15 for scale. I’ve mostly been carrying the two Kreins on the right lately.

Oddly enough (or not since opinions are known to vary) I think that Dozier sheath for the personal is the ne plus ultra, top shelf King of kydex.

That’s awesome Bart. I always have admired your taste in small fixed blades. The Krein is exceptional.

I’d love to see some of your favorite sheaths when you get a chance.

Thanks Jon. Here’s the sheath shot.

The first one is a leather sheath I made for the Russell Green River, the next one I made for the Esee out of a pair of old boot tops, I carry the Boker in kydex, I carry the TK-1 either in kydex or the leather sheath next to it, and I made a pocket slip without clip for the Ben Krein. I started on a boot-top sheath with a clip for the Ben Krein this weekend. Hopefully I’ll get back to it this week.

Nice, what brand/model is that fixed blade?

I think this knife was put together by a friend of mine. Puronvarsi hunter blade + stabilized Karelian birch. I myself changed the shape of the handle to suit my hand.
