The Essential is probably my favorite of the three:

That Essential is pretty nice, great photo too

Also check out Eliot on the forums here's one he made with a Paul Long sheath

DW Childress makes some pretty good little knives and they are priced well
This one is 6.25" OAL

Definitely the absolute best small fixed blade I've ever owned.

Yeah, I figured I could do a lot worse.

I carry a Bark River City Knife almost every day, usually in a pocket sheath. I generally have a scout pattern or SAK with it, for the extra tools.

Nice collection you have going there, Tom. I like your style!

Thanks link2derek! I've another in zebrawood but no decent pic of it yet.

Here are my two sub 7" fixed blades, a Dozier Personal Utility and a Bark River Adventurer:



A Guardian3 is my next planned acquisition (unless something more interesting comes along on the Exchange )

I really like that.
What steel?




The Rocky ain't bad, either.

I'll be getting my EK&T Companion soon with a lovely orange G-10 handle. I like orange. That knife is going to get carried a lot.

Whetstone, those Bark Rivers are beautiful!

Are those Barkie's Essentials or Cities?

BRKT Essential in Ziricote

BRKT Mini Fox River in Desert Ironwood and City Knife in Cocobolo

BRKT City Knife in Maroon Linen Micarta...beautiful hues in sunlight, but pretty mundane brown in low light

I've been away for a couple of days and was pleased (and grateful) to see that this thread is still garnering participation. As for your recommendations: WOW. There are some real beauties out there. As I mentioned about a week ago, I did make a move on one so far; the Bradford Guardian3 in DLC coated M390 steel with the saber grind, camo scales and black leather sheath. This knife arrived ultra-sharp...beyond any other I've ever experienced. It is already nudging aside the custom configured S30V BM Mini Griptilian that I have normally carry daily in a little kydex neck sheath. I'm not sure which one will come next but I'm leaning toward the L.T. Wright Coyote or a Lon Humphrey Muley. Another that has caught my eye is the Arno Bernard Meerkat.
