Fixed Blade Poll

If you really want to know I'm diagnosed with dystemic depression, moderate severity but unequalled persistance. I think I am in this for live, I seem to carry a faulty gene. I know take sedating antidepressants so imagine how crazy I get when stimulated *lol* I try real hard to restrain myself and it seems to work fine, I but rarely regret the overenthousiastic nature of my decisions. I much better with the right medication that suits my specific needs, a bit like knives they are *lol* No, seriously, my faceless internet image gives me the chance to be that open, in the real world I clench my jaws firmly because I realise people will write off. Thank god for adequate medication, the right kind for me that became only clear through extensive trail and error. Their is a vast array of antidepressants wich isn't actually surprising if you considder the huge demand.
I want to stress that I won't tolerate any pity an d well aware that I'm a bit crazy (call it what you want, I just think I'm well above moderate intelligence, this is often more of a liability to personal happiness because one of its side-effects is not being able to chose because you cannot stand loosing. You also quickly discover the through face of man and that is not very pretty, I do my utmost in abanding this grim way of thinking but my attempts to undermine this way of thinking are in vain. Unfortunatly, my regrettable view on man is not very optimistic.

But the only thing that matters to others that I do not considder myself to be a bad person. As a matter of fact, I really aim to please *grin* Contrary to what you might think, I will not stab anyone in the back. I do hold terrible ideas but I remain a peacefull person and try to avoid trouble if I can. I really am not such a bad sport *grin* but then again, why should you believe me...?

To best thing to do with this message is to completely ignore it and allow me the same amount of credit other people get.
 
My EDC FBs have blades in the 3.5" to 4.5" range. That is also the range that I feel is the best for everyday carry. There is not much I can't do with blades this long since I rarely have to limb trees or chop wood.

For my purposes I really don't require a blade any longer than 4.5", so I guess that for me any blade longer than that would be too long.
 
Unless I have missed it, nobody has mentioned a Dozier Straight Personal or K-9. These two knives with 3 inch blades and Bob's horizontal sheaths just stay out of your way, and they are very handy. If you wear your shirt untucked, nobody will even know they are there.

I just recently bought an A.G. Russell Deer Hunter. I find myself carrying this piece more and more. I don't have to wear a belt with this one because all I have to do is clip the Thumbolt sheath to a belt loop. The Thumbolt sheath holds the knife very securely. All you have to do is press the little bolt on the sheath with your thumb, and it comes right out with just a bit of spring action. The 4 inch blade is flat ground, and it is ground very thin. It's a terriffic cutter and a best buy in my opinion. Big D1
 
I carry a 3" FB daily. More then enough blade to get the job done. Carried horizontally it never gets noticed. Anything over 4" just gets in the way for EDC. Thats only my feelings, and personal preference.

I was joking... but thanks for sharing...

LOL
 
the one i carry most often is my nealy pesh kabz 5" w/a MASS sheath, NOT the MCS, didnt care for the MCS at all, but anyway 5" is pretty long for edc imho, 5.5" is tops legal in tx, and really a 4" is more comfy to carry, but does depend a lot on the sheath imho, anything LESS than 3-3.5 " imho is too short for a FB, rather have that length in a folder, myself, gen'ly speaking,BUT love the spydie ronin, will buy one when they start making them, and its about 3" or a little shorter, so i guess it also depends on the knife

Greg, what do you think of the MASS? I basically modified my MCS sheath for my Aikuchi, it's a lot narrower and I added a sheathed neck chain that I run through a belt loop , I then carry the knife in my back pocket and the chain holds the sheath back allowing me to just pull the knife out, and the sheath stays behind.

My EDC is a Dozier Straight Personal. Its 6 7/8" long overall with a 2 7/8" blde length. I don't think I would want to go larger then 3.5-4" for an EDC blade and this little Dozier is perfect for me actually. I carry it in the cross draw position in one of Dozier's horizontal kydex sheaths.
 
Everyday carry fixed blade? It has to be my custom mini Kozuka from R.J. Martin. I purposely had R.J. make the blade as close to 3" long without actually being 3" for legal reasons. That is my everyday urban carry knife. Out in the woods, I carry something much bigger.
 
My only fixed that I use as am EDC is Jens Anso Damasheep with 5 cm blade. I work in a laboratory enviroment and often need the acute tip in my small knife.

If I need a knife at home or outdoors
I prefer puukkos with blade length between 8 cm and 12 cm.
