Suggestions for a small fixed blade

That blackjack 155 is awesome but kinda scary looking for EDC IMHO. Love 154 too, might have to pick one up. The bradfords are cool too.
Just a random observation but why do all custom knife guys have the worst websites ever? Cant find them, cant find prices, cant find anything for sale.
Seriously, want to make some money guys? Make your websites less horrible.
 
Condor has 3 different neck knives for @$30 each.
Stout knives, well made.
I have had a crkt hawk k-at for a neck knife for years
I like very much. Otherwise, i would have a condor.
I have one of their fixed blades and a machete.
Best bang for the buck imo. But, I am not much
of a fixed blade fan. Got the handful I need/want.
Happy hunting

I like ESEE Izula if a sub 3" fixed blade is something you're into. Very handy to hang from my belt, doesn't hang down past untucked shirt.
 
White River Knife and Tool Backpacker or ESEE Izula!
 
I would recommend the ESEE candiru. Im currently in Japan and it was the only knife i own that is legal here. The only thing is youd have to pick up a krydex sheath because the sheath it comes with is a nylon velcro piece of crap.

Not anymore. Now they are coming with the plastic neck sheath that is molle/teklock compatible.
 
I vote Bradford Guardian 3. He offers Kydex sheaths for them as well.


When you posted that shot last week I had to order one. Should have it in a day or two, and am excited for the Guardian 4 when it's released!

I love small fixed blades for EDC as well. Currently have an ESEE Izula and Bark River PSK. Both great knives, but the PSK is above your price, and under your blade length wish.
 
Well, this is embarrassing. It turns out I have already forged my perfect EDC fixed blade myself! :D
Just had to rummage around some and find the sheath, replace the clip with some paracord for belt loops, sharpen and polish the edge and bam. Sits comfortably on the belt, very light and takes a decent edge. The heat treat probably isn't glorious, but it was my first work. The picture is years old.

Regardless, thanks for the suggestions. At least this student doesn't have to blow a hundred euros on a new knife... How I wish I could though. :D

KA-BAR Neck knife, or pretty much any neck knife. Maybe a Boker Plus Gnome.

Not under 3" like the OP says.

Go with an Izula. I have one and have used it for horizontal belt carry as an EDC. Great knife, great company, best warranty in the business!
 
Have you checked out the puukku's by the makers in your own country like J. Martinni and all the rest?
 
I want an Izula myself. I do have, and love, a Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter. Very nice materials, S30V steel and very nice sheath. More money, at $130, but a nice, pocket sized fixed blade. Benchmade sent me a kydex sheath and the Bone Collector leather sheath to try with it too. Awesome service, support and products.
There are too many small fixed blades to choose from, though... good luck in your search.
 
IZULA:



Neck or belt carry is an option, but just be sure to cord wrap her:


I love the looks of these knifes especially with the g-10 handles. I just wish they made them with diffrent steel choices. I don't care for 1095 which is the only thing stopping me from buying one
