I want all these knives.
I find myself gravitating to small fixed blades more and more after I got my 14.
Its replacing my Scamp and I can carry my lighter and a flashlight with it.
And I don't know how it is in the US or the EU but in India a small fixed blade is less of a shock to the sheeple than a folder that snaps open with one hand.
I am considering a Boker Krein Pocket bowie next. Or maybe having a smithy here make one to my specs.

Muchas Gracias.
The 1447 and the Mike Wilson are so different yet both caught my eye and held it.

The Wilson is only a few weeks old, but I cannot stop carrying it. I picked up that 1447 a couple years ago at a little trading post in Kokadjo Maine. It was still in the package and everything. the plastic packaging was so brittle it crumbled in my hands!

Yeah I did a little internet trawl looking for the KaBar. It says discontinued model. I might copy the design :D
The Wilson just looks so comfortable. The handle looks well contoured from the relief patterns on the micarta.

Ah, the small Trigonaut, I've been meaning to get one for some time now. How do you like yours ?

I really like it. The grip is comfortable, comes with a decent kydex sheath, and just looks wicked. It's really designed more and a defensive blade with a lot of weight in the handle. The way the handle is shaped you can really only hold it a couple of ways where something like the BK14 or my camillus cuda has a more versatile handle shape and seems better for utility/every day stuff.

The sheath offers good retention but the weird shape makes mounting/carrying difficult. It also would have been nice if there was a spot to push off with your thumb when drawing.

Guess I'll have to try it out the next time I'm in Solingen, why does that town have to be so close to me - not good for my bank account :rolleyes:
I agree, its a great looking knife :thumbup:
As for mounting: I think it comes with a large TekLok over here, I was thinking scout carry
 
Nice knives guys.
My favorite fixed blade, hands down, is my Dozier Tanto with Natural Canvas Micarta.
My Busse Pork Shank is close next.
 
Some of my EDC rotation.

Mine didn't come with a tek-lock but I've heard of some guys getting them. I took a very very short piece of gutted paracord, looped it through the hole at the tip of the sheath and melted it together. The I ran a beaded chain through that for neck carry.
