What is you favorite 4" or under fixed blade ?

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.
 
Here are a few of my favorites in the 4" range.

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.
