Smallish Fixed Blades

[Gary W. Graley]

I think I may have a 'Small' fixed blade problem they are just so handy. In this photo only a couple might extend over 4" but the majority of them are 3.5" or less.

Right now this is what my collection of fixed blades consists of, more than I want to have but I really like every one, even that holiday printed one, it's handy for opening packages.

Great lineup, Gary. I have a bunch as well. Extremely useful.

I love short fixed blades, especially when camping. Mors Kochanski suggested that an everyday outdoor work knife should have a blade length about the width of your palm. Bigger knives for the big stuff, but he did most of his basic tasks using a small-blade knife, such as a simple 3"-4" Mora attached to a neck cord (cheap handles, but great blades). For the outdoor types, read his book Northern Bushcraft (lots of great pix). It's a must-have resource, along with a few others.

One of my favorite small fixed blades. M.V.S-8 Steel takes a good edge, and the knife feels good in hand. Real good for small fish and bait. or a prep knife at camp.

I firmly believe that a smaller fixed blade is the best option for MOST situations. The best knife is the one you have on you. I love making smaller blades between 3-4 inches in blade length.

I’m right there with you. Just picked up an Edge Knife Works kwaiken prototype from the owner himself. But I think I need another…like the bottom one in the picture. Looks like a Spyderco Shaman
