So i've been thinking about getting a small fixed blade for edc and light camp chores. I was thinking something along like lines of a 2-3 in blade and a nice sheath. I was looking at the izula as so many suggest but i also have been looking at the BRKT Bravo Necker or the Scrap Yard Scrapivore. Are there any more in that size that i should really take a look at. Oh I almost forgot to say i dont want to spend a huge amount of money around 60-100 bucks i'd say is about right

I like that edge too. How did you go about backing that edge down and removing the powder coat?
The Sr101 A.K.A. 52100 blade steel featured in the Scrapyard Scrapivore and Swamp Rat Swamp Warden has slowly become one of my go to blade steels for a fixed blade knife. The downside to the said blade steel is the lack of corrosion resistance and with that being said I prefer the Swamp Warden over the Scrapivore seing as it sports a very thick and protective finish over the blade that helps prevent rust. Just wrap a bit of Para cord on the handle and you should be good to go. Pair either of these knives up with a universal sharpshooter pocket sheath and you'll have a very effective and efficient EDC setup.
Thanks.
I just ground it at about 10 degrees per side on a waterstone--pretty thin but it's working great for me. I don't know if the powder coat would give you any problems on a dry abrasive, but it didn't for me.Oh yeah, I love it. It's actually really great with the factory edge too, but I find at the 10 degree per side angle the tip is a super fine slicer.

Sweet! Might give that a shot sometime. 10 is a little shallow for my liking, but I may try removing some of that powder coat and dropping back the relief edge anyway...
