Small Fixed Blades

[Charlie Mike]

How about a Pikal?



Or something completely non threatening... I call it the Non Weapon Utility.

Damn! I like that utility blade Matt. That thing is beautiful. :thumbup:

 

[BluegrassBrian]

There are so many custom makers I'm often hard pressed to buy a production fixed blade. I edc all of these.

Right here on the forums you can get an excellent small knife for reasonable prices. I hesitate to buy any factory knives in this class.

These all from our own knifemakers market:

If not mentioned already, Bark River makes some nice "Neckers" - worth a look...

All of the above are 3" or under, and a lot of them were purchased right here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/754-For-Sale-Fixed-Blades

If any of them speak to you I'd be happy to provide more details!

Sweet collection. Which do you carry most? I like the shape of the uppermost in the pic

Been carrying this little guy on the belt, for about a month or three. GREAT little knife. I use it specifically for when I'm in the woods, as it's easily concealed in town on the way to or from, but it's less annoying than a folder with heavier gloves, and isn't going to fall out of the pocket and get lost in the brush.
