There are some awesome makers here on the forum and most do their own rendition of a small EDC fixed blade.
Here is just a small sample of their work ( any makers who I have missed please add pics of your version ), I'm sure you will know who makes which, so which ones are your favourites and why ?

All of the makers here make a nice small blade, I am not sure I can pick a single favorite. They all have their own functions. However, if I were to choose, I would say any of the tin knives are my favorites. Mainly because if I was only for a short walk the only thing I have on me is a tin knife and my EDC. It would be the one with me most. That is assuming Tin Knives count
 
I can't wait to get my hands on one of those Bow-legged Joes - that's a sweet looking blade for EDC. That is probably one of my favorite small blades at this point.
 
Michael Morris makes an awesome "Pocket Filer" that I am packing after my Gossman PSK was taken by TSA.
 
The ultimate small knife for me would be John Landi's PSK. :thumbup:

I plan on picking up a RAT Izula to compare, but right now this knife is perfect. Perfectly sized handle that you normally loose on a smaller knife.
 
i dont really like the little two-finger scale-less "tin knives" that seem to be well-liked by most. i like small knives, but i like to have a decent grip, and some type of handle slabs makes them much more comfortable. Brian Andrews small fixed blade (PKR i think) is probably the best aproach i have seen ( for my purposes). the handle looks quite comfortable for such a small knife, and it has a more sizable grip than alot of the pocket fixed blades that i have seen.
 
I wasn't sure if I would but I really like my Koster K5.

Its hiding behind the BRKT Woodland.

2 3/8" blade. 5 1/4" OAL with a handle about 1/4" thick. Wore it all day today as a matter of fact. I cut down the lanyard/fob as it was way too long. Now its the same length as the handle and can be folded over to give a bit more of a hand-filling grip.

My favorite little knife.

Small fixed blades rock!

My BRKT Mikro Canadian sees a lot of carry time, and the Rat Izula stays in the car!

Wierd!! I was sketching different fixed EDC design knives today. I had one that looked just like that only with a drop/wharncliff bladeshape, and then diamond (like on playing cards) pin.

How much does one have to drop to get one of these?

C'mon Mike you know I've got to put ya on the spot now and ask which is your favourite from that lot !!!!

I'll make it easy and let you pick your top 3 !!!!!;)
 
I still like my TOPS Wolf pup but the grind is a little too thick, although through time I have improved it a lot !

Easy question, my mini-Nessmuck. Not just because its new, it performs every task I try with it.

I never really liked my small knife until I convexed it, now it works much better.

Josh K, can you post a picture of the Landi PSK in your hand. I have been thinking about ordering one but was curious as to the actual size. Thanks
