My GSO-4.1 from Survive!Knives is a tank of a knife! 5/32" thick M390 with blaze orange G10 handles (it's my hunting/camping knife).

I have this knife in S90V. It's my favorite fixed blade. The blades in 3v are available again in early August. Watch the YouTube videos by SurviveKnives.

Awesome and inspiring collection, thanks for sharing this with us.
 
I don't own many fixed blades under four inches, but my Esee 3 has served me well in the outdoors. I feel it is a great all around camp knife, and I never go out without it. Even bought one for my kid.
 
Here are some fixed blades I have made. They are alittle smaller for a fixed blade, but are great for skinning.

Not as fancy as some others but for me it's the Mora 511

Also for me I find the best all around size to be 5" with the KA-BAR 1247

Thanks so much zeroed4x. It's great when people admire your work. I have a few more fixed blades I have made that are under 4". I mostly create blades alittle larger than 4". Here is a pic of a stack leather handle with a unique blade design. My dad created this one. By the way, nice to meet you Zero. I am Ten and my dad is Ren. Everyone has some great looking blades. Lets see more.

"Favorite" is a tough one, but probably my Dozier K42 Personal (2.5" wharncliffe/sheepsfoot blade) as I have been EDCing it when I have the urge and it frequently goes to the woods with me. I have just started to use my Doziers since I got this one last year. Figure why else do I own them?
 
Nothing wrong with having a blade of pure utilitarian nature. Swedish knives are actually good quality. I like the Mora MG84 and a few others they have to offer.
They are inexpensive and that is a plus. I wish they used something other than carbon steel but then again the price would reflect such.
