Help. I need an EDC fixed blade.

[readyme]

The closest thing I have found to what I am looking for is a Benchmade Nim Cub II....but I would prefer one with full flat ground blade.
Any ideas? Thanks.

 

[gooeytek]

any size requirements? does the blade have to be stainless?

Based on the Nim Cub II's specs, I'd say a Sypderco Bill Moran might be an option.

Dude id really consider a dpx gear HEST they are about the best edc fixed blade i can imagine and the best non custom edc knife i have owned. esee makes good stuff too

ESEE Izula
ESEE-3

Becker BK-11 or BK-14.

Can't go wrong there, brotha.

You might consider a SOG Seal Pup Elite - plain edge. It is a good solid knife.

If Busse is an option, Busse is the answer.

I will have to look into the options given...thanks for the ideas.

OK, time to add more info.
I am looking for a blade 3.5" to 5"...thin for slicing....full flat ground.
Does not need to be stainless.
Micarta or G10 handle scales around a full tang knife.

Do any of you have experience with custom makers?
I found three makers who make beautiful knives, but I obviously don't have any experience, and I am quite sure they are out of my price range (at least double)...they are NWA knives, BGoode knives, and Fiddleback Forge.

Are there any custom knife makers that offer a price around $100?

-Spyderco Street Beat would be my top answer.

These are just more options:

-Any number of Bark River knives
-Esee 3
-Esee 4
-Esee Isula II
-BK11 or BK 14
-ZT0121

-BM375 Adamas if you're a badass.... haha

Check out some smaller Boker and Entrek fixed blades, Ka-bar Mark 1....Blade-Tech N'yati seemed pretty close to perfect, might be able to find one for about $100

Spyderco Street Beat: AMAZING ergonomics.

Rick Hargis makes a very nice EDC for around $100, here is one I just picked up...

 

[Hools]

Blind Horse Knives make some great knives in your price range.

 

[Drover]

Another vote for an ESEE 4. Almost indestructible, great sheath, full flat ground. Don't miss it.

 

[Varg Lobos]

Bryan Breeden makes incredible knives that are probably exactly what you're looking for. Around $100 too.

 

[readyme]

Thanks for the help guys. I will check them all out.

Varg Lobos, I assume you have a Breeden knife. Can you tell me more about them?
Thanks
