I prefer a small fixed blade for edc! I like the simplicity and strength of a fixed blade. I also like the ability to clean them easily after using them....not a lot of nooks and crannies to fill up with stuff.
I have recently been edc'ing a Michael Burch fixed blad and a little fixed blade from Brian Goode! They are both GREAT little knives! I highly recommend these guys work!!

I recently acquired a Spyderco Ronin. I like it because it is actually faster to deploy than my longtime pal, the Yojimbo
. I only wear it on days that I leave a shirt untucked though, because of the inverted way I wear it. I've been eyeing the Benchmade Activator(I'm becoming more and more a fan of Snody's designs) as well, because it seems very well-suited to work tasks that would otherwise gunk up and make slippery my usual folders. Easier to clean too.

They look like they belong in a gun magazine.

I have been carring a fixed Blade EDC for several years. This is the one I carry now.

It's not allowed to carry guns in Germany but we can carry fiexd blades of any size.
The fixed blades in my EDC rotation are:
- Spyderco Fred Perrin Bowie
- Benchmade Nimravus 145HS
- LinderSuper Edge 3
- Becker Necker (BK 11)
- Camillus CQB Jr.
I won't carry a fixed blade when I'm at work, though. The only exception is the Becker Necker, which is small enough not to frighten people.

For the last couple of weeks its been a Chris Reeve Neil Roberts ,in their after market leather sheath, on my left @ cross draw.
One my right side is a Fallkniven F1GM in a modified dangle sheath. My neck knife for the past couple of years is a Camillus Mini-Talon in talonite.
I have no idea what combination I will be carrying next week or next month but I usually carry at least 2 fixed blades, a neck knife, a Sebbie or Aftermath in my right pocket (front).
FWIW, I have had a Sebenza and a S.E.R.E both come open while carrying them in a back pocket...cut clothing, and cut hand. I will never carry another tip up in my back pocket!
Ciao

I've never become completely comfortable with carrying a fixed blade as EDC, although I own many. I always seem to be fiddling with the sheaths, moving them around on my belt. There's just no sweet spot on my belt for horizontal carry, and the vertical carry is just a bit too conspicuous for my taste.
My Anso is the closest Ive found to the perfect fixed blade EDC. It rides comfortably in one of Jens horizontal Kydex sheaths.

I actually have 3 EDC's that I rotate. The top two are D2 and the bottom is O1. Two with stag and the other is ram horn. The top two sheaths are set up for a Sure Fire lite. The bottom is a pocket sheath but I also have a belt sheath that holds a firesteel.
