I'm a sucker for a small, pocketable fixed blade and right now all I have are:
a La Griffe (great but not all that utilitarian most days)
a CRKT Side Hawk (not bad, but the sheath setup is all novelty and not very useful)
A Boker Gnome (awesome but I'm looking for something bigger)
Ultimately I'm hoping you guys can suggest stuff I've missed. I had an Izula which I gifted away a while back, it was awesome though a bit thick behind the edge. I'll probably end up with another if nothing new pops up from this thread.
Here's what I'm ideally looking for:
Generally moderate appearance between classic American style fixed blade and modern. Trying to stay away from g10 on this one, and more towards bone or micarta, geared more towards slicing than prying.
Stacked leather handle - pretty sure this does not exist in a knife this size, micarta is also great
Fairly pocketable (keep in mind I pocket carry my rc3 some days)
Blade length preferably 2"-3.5" or maybe smaller
A nice sheath, something that will fit in a pocket well, ie no big danglers or anything
Got any suggestions guys
Off the top of my head I've come up with the blackjack necker with canvas scales, the brkt necker with scales, or an izula with scales. Also saw a Rock creek caper thats pretty close to right. The blackjack is in the lead though as it looks amazing:
