I own 60 fixed blades but my "favorite" among all of them is still the Gerber Mark I.

I own 2 variations of it. The 1st was the 1st fixed blade knife that I ever purchased over 40 years ago. Here's a stock photo of one that looks similiar to both of mine:

I almost stood at attention and saluted this post - it’s bad ass. Nice sharps.

I picked this one up in DaNang in 1968. It's seen the most use.

These two are my most expensive fixed blades, but have seen no use at all.



And these three are my most carried fixed blades.

What's this model?

James Behring Custom. It’s a 6 inch hunter variant. I wanted a Scagel / Randall inspired belt knife - that was what Mr Behring came up with. .26 Stock, O1 steel, parkerized finish, Green micarta, red spacer stack, brass fittings, enclosed tang. It’s a surprisingly good slicer for thick stock ( hollow grind ). Some day I’d like to commission another with full convex grind..

Your collection never ceases to amaze me.

Like the OP, I'm a fixie guy. So, I struggled with how to pick my "favorite" fixed blades. I concluded that the only "scientific" way to do it would be to post the blades that have seen the most "truck time" with me. Even then it was difficult, and there are still a few that belong in this thread with the knives I'm about to post.

Anyhoo, some of these I've had for years, and others for only a short time. However, these seem to be my "go-to" fixies and therefore my favorites(?). Here they are from shortest to longest...nothing really fancy or noteworthy...
