Recommend me a small fixed blade

[SBOregon]

A little past your price range but:
Bradford Guardian is a solid choice. Love my guardian 3.
Also, Knives By Nuge has some great blades. I have a Chickpea and the handle is one of the most comfortable I've found.

This is an “Ultralight Necker” I’m finishing up for Friday’s postal run, for example. I have them in a few blade shapes. The MagnaCut ones are $135 base price at the time of this post. That includes natural wood scales, Boltaron sheath and shipping. Blade length is just over 3”. They come with a paracord fob for extra grip but in my opinion they don’t really need it. Handle can be like this or smooth etc.

I really like my Civivi Sokn I picked up recently. It kind of is a tactical knife. But not in the blade shape.

Which I think makes a nice mix of features. In that it tries to have a lower profile and you can pull on it more effectively.

I think with say a Ulti clip or something. It would sit really flush in horizontal.

It also does the pocket thing if you like pocket things.
