small full tang edc

another vote for the Izula,
I customed a kydex sheath for it so it runs parallel to my belt so i can carry it when running or biking .
I can pop it on and of my belt with easily
 
id say take a look at the becker 14 or 11. plus if your a serrated fan theres an @mazon exclusive serrated version of the bk11 that comes with micarta and a tdi clip
 
spyderco enuff. 6.75" overall. vg10. almost the same specs as the izula actually.
can get a leaf shape, clip point, or serrated straight edge.

Check out Bod Dozier's smaller fixed blades.
Great knives, and he has the best kydex I've seen.

The bottom two are 6 7/8" OAL.

 
I think the Izula and BK11/14 are good choices, and I have a BK11 myself. I've been interested in finding a good fixed blade for pocket EDC and I'm going to try it with the BK11.

Others that I've found that interested me are various models by Bark River, Blind Horse, and TOPS.
 
Another vote for bhk patch knife or one of their other smaller knives. Not only are they great users but they are very people friendly, make a great dress knife.
 
Another vote for a custom, I have this one on the way from Alan Davis. Overall length is about 7", with a 3" blade of 52100 steel w/stonewashed finish, stag handle/beaded lanyard and a very nice in-pocket sheath.

I actually just ordered the ESEE Izula. I always wanted one.

I pocket carry a Bark River Mikro Canadian. I had a Bark River Little Creek which was awesome as well and a little bigger and a bit more stout. I do like the Mikro Canadian better though for edc. So if you have $90-200 to spend, I would look at Bark River's Little Creek, Mikro Canadian, PSK, and City knife.

If you want to spend less than that, Izula is the way to go. Also the AG Russel makes a woodwalker knife that is less than $30 and gets many positive reviews.
 
Bark River Essential EDC.

Now, I actually have no experience with this specific knife, or even this brand other than on the forums. However it comes in CPM M4 steel which is absolutely my favorite steel around. Based on it's measurements it sounds good for you, it's gorgeous and has a lot of handle options. The company gets a lot of good reviews to boot. if I had the need for a fixed blade this size I would go for it. a little pricey though.

it's the top one here. not my picture.

As others have illustrated, Bark River makes a wide variety of small full tang knives.

They also have quite a few sheath styles to facilitate carry options .


A few more options.

I also EDC a Bark River, but mine is a Northstar EDC in CPM-3V. Here's a pic of one.
