Small Fixed Blade Comparison

alliuse · Feb 24, 2021

I’ve gotten into small fixed blades and it can be hard to wrap my mind around the actuall size of the knife (with just online specs). So I thought I would post some pics of my collection for size comparison. If you are interested in seeing specific knives side by side, let me know.

Very useful! :thumbsup:

Yes, that is quite a chart of images. Nice of you to do that.

I had been wondering about how the EPK would compare to my Meerkat. I wonder no more.

Very nice set of fixed blades.

Not being a fixed blade collector myself, it would be useful to throw in a couple of well-known folders for size comparison.
I can tell how big one fixed blade is in comparison to one of the others, but without a common reference point I'm still just guessing.
For example that small Bark River may be the size of a Case Peanut or a GEC #23... no way to know for sure.

You forgot to mention your limecutter in the second photo

Good thinking. Let me see what I can come up with.

Alliuse nice collection! You might add a Ray Kirk pocket medicine if you stumble across one at a good price. Check them out. Very cool little fixed blades...

That Green handled Little Creek Barkie has seduced me, the Siren

Extremely impressive array and worthwhile compact practicals :thumbsup:

Thanks, Will

Thank you, Harry. That is helpful.

These pics are outstanding. Now I can gauge whether I can get 4 fingers on one of these models. Definitely a keeper thread.

Those are nice. Small fixed blades can be very useful.

Here's mine, a Geno Denning Mini-GM; about the same length as a dollar bill
