I love my gerber basic fixed blade, was my first brand name knife, and also my first edc. After losing my original i recently purchased another. The handel is a little smaller than i remember from about two years ago. Anyways, i was wondering if anyone knew a nice small edc fixed blade similar to the gerber basic. I would like to keep the specs as close to the basic in terms of length, with one exception; i would like a fixed blade with about maybe 1/4-1/2 inch longer handel if possible. The blade steel i don't care. I don't want the gerber epic either. I would like the price to be near the basic. I would prefer if it had serrations (combo edge), and drop-point is most preferable, but tanto is also fine. I also already own the gerber warrant. In terms of sheath something that is closely similar to the basic's friction lock sheath.

-----------------------------------------------
fixed blade
price: Less than $50
blade steel: Throw your suggestions
blade style: Drop-point (most preferable), tanto (also acceptable)
sheath: Closely similar to gerber basic's friction lock sheath
edge: Combo edge (most preferable)
brand: Any
length: About same size as the basic but the handel be about 1/4-1/2 inch longer than the basic (most preferable)
color: Darker color (most preferable)
construction: Full tang
[i think that's it for the specs, all i kan think of for right now]

-----------------------------------------------
knives i am not interested in:
Gerber warrant
gerber epic

does a knife like this exist? Or could i put that in a dream and hope it comes true?
 
Have you checked out the ESEE-4? It comes serrrated and is not too far off from the Basic's size.
