Looking for a small fixed blade EDC

[Bugs57]

Show me your small fixed blade EDC's. I would like to find one with either a pocket sheath or small enough to carry in horizontal sheath at the belt line. Particularly interested in custom makers that are reasonably priced; under 3 bills. Help me spend my $$.

jday, the Darlin looks good, but very small. Do you have one? If so, does it "use" well? Thanks.

Small fixed blades are more or less my favourite to make.

These three are currently not claimed by anyone. I've done similar stuff in Stainless too and in plain carbon steels.

I can testify that Mr. Noot makes a pretty good knife.

Love this little guy...can't go wrong with anything by D.W. Childress. I believe this was around $130 US

The bottom one is my go to. It's a custom by Kyle Bettleyon, (KWB). Unfortunately he's not active here, but he is on Instagram and USN. Good luck with your search!

Have you looked at Carter cutlery?

There are a lot of Bark Rivers like that in that price range. I would look at the Carter-designed Adventurer series, the Bravo Micro and Bravo EDC, the Bumblebee, the City Knife, the EDC, the Essential, and several other models. You can get a very nice one in a high-end steel with fabulous handles for under $300 easy.

Finally I found another person that owns a 616, it's my EDC fixed blade. Although I carry it inverted at my 3 o clock.

Head over to your neighbors in Georgia...FiddlebackForge, Osprey Knife, Fletcher knives, AA Forge, Jarrett Fleming...and I'm sure there are others
If you are patient you can get previously owned ones...many not used.
Also there are production models of the FbF.
Here are some of my edc's along with a Survive! 2.5, fbf Bushcrafter Jr, JF itty bitty and weebil

+1 on D.W. Childress, he has a 154 cm blade in rosewood up for sale on the exchange.

Are those the little undertakers? Nice.
