Let's talk traditional, pocketable, fixed blade knives.

^ Nice blade, well hafted

That is a beautiful knife Nick. Are these for sale anywhere?

Hey Isaac- Looks like your sheath needs a little love! If you send it to me, I'll fix that. No need to send the blade, just the leather.

Thanks for the mention, I really appreciate it.

And not to push my own stuff, rather just to join the conversation. Back when I worked at the paper mill, we weren't supposed to have a big knife visible, so I made up a simple little slicer that would ride in the side pocket of my Carhartt jeans. I used to get so much grief about it from my crew, "You make $2,000 bowie knives and you're packing around a prison shiv?!?!? " LMAO

I get a kick out of it now, because since I decided to make some for sale, there are about 100 of them floating around out there in guys' pockets.

This was my original---

Vince we use it to cut nuts on the ranch.QUOTE=VCM3;12679856]A big fan of the small ,pocketable fixed blade , I am. Great thread.

This knife by Rick Menefee has a blade design based on 5 blade Tony Bose Rogers whittler blade. It is an addition to my kitchen knife set,and I use it almost exclusively to peel onions. With it's Larry Parson's sheath it is very pocketable. I often think it would make a great field dressing knife for white tails.

That is a dandy right there.

Interesting blade.

Thanks Woodrow, the first 3 you can see are 4" total the last one is 5", they are a very small for sure

Nice KYenglish. I think those are a bit smaller than I want, but they do look nice. What's the OAL. I'm thinking 6" would be about where I'm looking.

Me too, but I've got two brand-new pairs I'm too fat to get into!

Here´s my Peanut in size comparison to my Linder Jagdnicker, which is quiete small. I think it qualifies as a pocketable fixed blade

Necker by Bruce Culberson. This knife is my first giveaway win, and I am super excited about it! Since I got it Monday I have mostly pocket carried it (although the kydex sheath works great for neck carry). I want to make or have made a nice leather pocket sheath (or sheath with clip that could also be used in the pocket) to better fit with the traditional style of the knife.

This is just an exceptional knife that I have a feeling will be with me and used every opportunity I get. Mr. Culberson, I can't thank you enough.

(If the kydex sheath or the knife are not traditional enough I apologize. Please just pm me and I'll remove it. To me it is almost like a mini kephart style, and the materials are traditional other than the sheath. Just let me know if it doesn't belong here.)

I recommend comfort waist pants. Subtle side elastic at the waist allows pants to fit as your stomach gets bigger.

I'm still hoping to lose some weight, don't encourage me!

pocket knife made by friend (steel 1075)

Although most folks in "traditional" spurn the older stuff, and especially 1095, it has actually worked pretty well for a lotta years. Every company made these "Outers" knives in the 1920s and 1930s; these two are from Western, Boulder, Colorado. And another Western bird & trout, re-handled in dyed elk stag. Sheaths are somewhere....

 

[Pipeman]

I made this up for my fire kit, fits in my pocket,pouch or as a necker. #6 Opinel blade.

Great thread with lots of neat little knives.

Best regards

Huh, you think so? That hasn't been my observation, but you've been at this longer.

I've seen some yearnin' (for newer steels), but not much spurnin' (of 1095 in particular).

Thanks for posting these up! The knives are great, but I especially like that wooden ruler. :thumbup:

I've noticed quite the opposite. Maybe you meant to type "general" or "prac-tac" instead?
Nice oldies you posted there, thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

Here's a few more from my accumulation
Left to right;
Bud Nealy "Little David" 5 3/4" OAL. CPM-154 and bone. The sheath is non-traditional, so I left it out.
Don Cowles, 5 5/8" OAL. CPM-154 with amber stag, gold pins and a ruby set in the ricasso.
Tim Steingass, Loveless style "New York Special", 7 1/2" OAL. 154CM with some of the nicest Desert Ironwood burl I've ever seen. The Steingass is bigger then I like to carry in my pocket but it did come with a pocket sheath.

This knife is actually what I use when I'm doing my leather work .
I wanted a simple sheath to house it when I'm cleaning up and store it in , rather than have an exposed blade floating around in my tool box .
The thought occurred to me to make a pocket sheath for this small fixed blade knife to kill two birds with one stone .
That is the reason why its flatter and wider than it really needs to be .
It is surprisingly comfortable in my back pocket , but in all honesty I don't think I'll be carrying it like that very much .

Small fixed blades are my favorite.

Alan Davis 1095 with water buffalo handle and hammon. It doesn't get much use due to the trailing point, but I like it anyway. He makes great little fixed blades.
