Fixed EDC concealed

[000Robert]

Update. I do not live in CA anymore. I escaped to Texas. I am 6' and 175 pounds. I carry concealed as well. Just looking to try a fixed blade knife instead of the folders. Just looking for recommendations

Smart guy. Here's a photo of my Carothers DEK1 in case you haven't seen one yet.

It will be a utility blade with the hopes of never having to use in SD. Just trying to get suggestions on a good concealed blade

I'm going to try out my Busse Mountain Duty fixed blade in a horizontal S.O.B. sheath.

I am looking to transfer from a folder to fixed blade. Must be able to go inside waist band. Looking at Toor Jank Shank, bastinelli chopper or bastinelli Sin? Any recommendations or any other I missed.

I like some of the bastinelli stuff but would be at the smaller end like the Feather K or Spade personally.

Lots of great options

i greatly prefer horizontal crossdraw especially carrying a firearm strong side

this way your weak hand draw ice pick grip is lightening fast as well as strong hand crossdraw in Pilipino grip

In a production knife

With the ice pick grip do you like your blade to be edge front or spine front? I like edge front.

I like ice pick with blade forward but not just because of the rare chance of needing a defensive draw.

As I've gotten older, my shoulder has trouble with a normal-grip vertical draw from high belt carry, and low belt carry rarely works for CC. Horizontal also tends to go this way due to belt positions being limited for kydex. Between a couple of gut surgeries and having a little bit of a gut, appendix carry has mostly fallen off the map for guns and knives.

It's been my experience that gripping most knives with the edge forward in the icepick grip just feels more natural also.
