Small pocket fixed blade?

[lefthandmark]

So, I'm kinda interested in finding a small fixed blade that would sit in my pants pocket.

Any suggestions? What would becthe best overall length, that would carry comfortably?

This LT Wright Patriot was a kind gift from Paul Jakeywax31 a while back

My suggestion.
Do a search as there are already a couple of really good threads already on this very subject.

These both pocket well. 5 5/8 and 6 5/8 total lengths.

ETA: someone beat me to the Patriot suggestion. They really are great knives.

Take a look at the AG Russell Woodswalker.

REK Ember 2.5 or Ember 3.0

For me 5 to 6 inch OAL.
What are you after, custom, production?
Custom
Arno Bernard knives
Olmac knives
DB blades
Production
GEC
Tops
Buck

There are plenty of options.
Good luck.

Lt Wright Coyote

Lt Wright Frontier Valley

Lt Wright Small Pouter

Schrade Adder

LT Wright Bandit

Blasted Hill Knives


Lt Wright Lil Muk

LT Wright Widdle Chete (who doesn't need a pocket machete?).



Overall I'd recommend the frontier valley, coyote or the small pouter. Little under 7" overall. Fits really well in the pocket.

Josh Mazer has many models that will easily fit in a pocket. The bottom knife is called a Fat Finger.

Some fun and interesting little knives here, but…

I thought we decided centuries ago that the way to carry a knife comfortably and conveniently in the pocket was to have the blade fold into the handle .

Here are a few of mine. I think 5.5" to 6.5" works well in the pocket. I didn't include sheaths, but the right sheath is an important
consideration.

Very true Gary!
I was also remiss there are plenty of makers here on BF that make great small blades.

I carried this TOFERNER Celtic/Norse/"Viking" pocket/neck knife daily from 11-04-21 to 04/28/26, 24/7/365.25 (less about 2.5 hours shower time over the 5 years)
I modified the sheath, adding the tuck-in flap. The blade length is 58mm (same as a closed Vic SD Classic/Signature/Mini Champ).
Toferner has other Medieval style pocketable fixed blades. All are "Affordable". I paid under $20 for mine, with free (not "prime") shipping, on the "big river" site.
All have the "As Forged" finish. Several have leather wrapped handles. Blade steel is a good, tough, Czech carbon steel, with an excellent heat treat.
Admiittedly, I carried this one mainly as a neck knife, but I did carry it in my pocket a few times in the oem sheath, and on my belt, in a leather sheath I made for it.
On 04-28-26 I swapped the Toferner out for this David Mary "Itty Bity Bitey Birdie" (his model/pattern name) pocketable fixed blade that was gifted to me a couple years ago, by a generous member here. I don't know yet if I will carry the David Mary as long as the Toferner.

As you can see, I added a cord to the Kydex sheath for neck carry.

I do not have one yet, but CRKT makes a few small neck/pocketable fixed blades that are stainless.
The Mora Eldris might be another viable option.

Many threads already on topic. Beware, I know a guy who bought too many.

Not trying to make a sale.... I do have some small fixed blades in the for sale category. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...xed-blades-6-available.2071956/#post-23477708

I carried an Esee Candiru for a while but the 1095 would rust in my pocket. Switched to the S35VN Izula and that worked until I went back to a folder.

There are a bunch of small knives in a box under my coffee table that are small enough for pocket carry. The latest is the BPS Aurora puukko. There are at least a couple of threads here on the subject of pocket fixed blades.
