Traditional EDC fixed blades

[Peregrin]

Not looking for that discussion either, it's just something I've been wanting to do for a while.
I don't like wearing things on my belt, but think a small fixed blade and a traditional slipjoint make the perfect pairing.

I find that the belt sheathes get in the way and are always getting caught on something, so I avoid them. I finally came to the same conclusion, a small fixed blade and a slipjoint make for the perfect EDC.

OP what a great thread some beautiful knives on display here

Have always carried a fixed an a slippie
Back in the day a Western an a stockman
Little more “modern” these days.......but not much

It's written in the stars that I pick up one of yours some day soon. Awesome work, Dave!

Thank you sir!

- mmm, like that very much, it's come out a real treat, suits the blade beautifully.........great job

Thank you.
I was inspired by a knife I've seen before but cannot for the life of me remember what it was.

You could try neck carry, or a clip sheath clipped to the outside of your pocket.
That has worked well for me, but you do need a really tight clip or just to be more aware with a looser fitting easier to draw sheath ( my preference anyways ).

I also have on occasion carried knives in ways I shouldn't because I was working around the house / yard ,didn't expect to go anywhere, and figured nobody would know and I'm not getting into any trouble.

Yes, on my own property, I do as I please.

And I don't think laws like these even apply then.
Can you imagine no concealed weapons, e even when you're sitting in a recliner in your living room ?
It's like the toilet security administration on that episode of south park.

Reminds me of my Hurley Creek by JK.

A little Mora blade that I made a handle for out of a blown down branch of an ash tree. The bolster is cast of pewter. May get around to building a sheath for it someday! Nice little cutter.

That is a beauty sir. I’d be awful proud of that one. I like it a lot.

I bought this here awhile back. Carry it in the woods a bit and lay it out on the cheese platter for guests Makers photo - I have since given the blade a light gray patina with lime juice...call me crazy I suppose but I like it better that way.

Thanks - I like it very much. That is the new Redmeadow Knives - COWBELL, @Redmeadow Knives. It is an excellent pocket carry knife.
