Show me your favourite fixed blade you carry often.

[noob93]

Hi guys so as I wait for my fixed blade to be finished I was interested to see what some of you carry often. It doesn't have to be edc but at least in your rotation. Custom one offs would be cool to see as that is what mine will be. Aaand go!

I carry an izula everyday myself. Honestly I love it for its toughness and versatility but really wish the edge retention and geometry was a bit better. Good beater though and a bomb proof knife overall.

For a long while it was this Busse Hellrazor... there wasn't a beating it could not take, a task it did not handle exceptionally well. I recently sent it back to Busse Combat to have it resharpened to 20 dps, and it is even better than before. HOWEVER, I recently picked-up this Lon Humphrey Gunfighter Bowie... and I'm very, very impressed. The pick was from when I first got it--it has since developed a mild patina. It has chopped incredibly well and sliced even better than expected (especially for .25 thick).

I love both those knives but I gotta tell ya that Bowie is stunning. Looks like a great knife that wouldn't let you down in a tough situation. What are the materials used?

The only one I can carry

I got this one about 3 wks ago...has been with me constantly. Disappears under an untucked t-shirt here in Florida. I never remember that I'm wearing it...until I need it. Immediate access. Great knife.
This one is in M390. I like it so much that I just bought another in CPM-3V.
(p.s. I have other fixed blades with vertical sheaths that I NEVER carry.)

Nice looks pretty unobtrusive. Bradfords getting lots of love here. Might have to try one out pretty soon.

Always been curious about the ergos of this knife. Hows it feel in hand?

Just under 8" I believe.

Here's my other favorite. Not actually mine but from J&G's site. Mine is there having the exact same sheath made right now.

Just fine, I played with cord wrapping the back half below the sheath, but decided I like it better without it.
