Whats the neatest little fixed blade you have???

Tough question, but here's my answer:

Prettiest: George Tichbourne Mini-skinner with Ironwood
Most Used: James McGowan Nek2 neck knife
Most useful design: LHK wharncliffe neck knife w/burl scales
Most looking forward to carrying: Gene Ingram pocket Bowie

Best SMALL custom knife in form and function: Gene Ingram naked pocket knife. MAN that small blade is useful, and it just melts into your pocket. Its even a reasonable price.

There you have it, typical BS BF answer

Sincerely,
Anthony
 
My neatest little fixed blade is a black Hideaway Curvy with straight top and unsharpened swedge by Brock.
 
My smallest, and favourite, fixed blade was made by Jason Cutter. You can see it HERE.

It has a leather sheath, horizontally mounted which is always on my belt during weekends and often sits around in the kitchen during the week. Very handy little thing.
 
If a CRK Shadow III is small I'll go with that..But I have a Schrade fixed blade, in carbon steel, same handle & sheath style as a deerslayer trailing point, but instead has a smaller almost triangular blade, do not think it is a reground Deerslayer cause the sheath is perfect fit to blade. a handy knife for boning and can be easily made wicked sharp.. anybody else have seen one of these. Cheap too, $10 at a flea market..
..ps also have a CRKT Lightfoot Pitbull that is very handy..
 
I have several that I really like, for different reasons:
Mondt GMC, a flat ground 2.5" blade in CPM-10V. It's my "cardboard knife", and holds an edge better than anything else I've ever used.

DDR CF ArcLite in D2M. ~3" shallow hollow grind, recurve, ceramic peen finish on the grinds, satin on the flats. My only necker. I always get rid of any others I may buy, cause I like it better. Very light, and thin. Disappears as a necker or a belt knife. Holds an edge, and cuts very well for a knife its size. It's real purty, too;)

THR Gambit, ~3.4" fully flat ground drop point blade in BG-42. Probably my best all around small fixed blade. I've used it for everything from cutting hose, plastic wrap and sheeting, and cardboard at work, to dicing up vegetables in the kitchen, and skinning a rattlesnake. Seems like no matter what I use it for, this knife was "made for it".

So the ArcLite's my favorite, the Gambit's the best all-around, and the GMC is the one that gets used the most. I love all three of 'em:D

The ArcLite is back home with its daddy getting a new sheath made, but here's a crappy pic(dang flash!) I just took of the other two:
 
Excellent thread. Although I love my Dozier K4 and my Bark River Highland, thought I'd post this little knife that I picked up in Tokyo. Not sure about its steel etc but my guess is it is forged Hitachi laminated carbon steel.

Must be my BM 180 Outbounder. I have quite a few small fixed blades but I keep going back to the 180. It is an excellent cutter for most tasks, it is handy, very pretty and it keeps looking good despite some wear. I bought an extra one with the oak handle just for looking at.
 
I would have to say my Dozier Personal. Great little knife, D2 steel and a perfect sized knife for me. Feels great carried in a pocket, or on the horizontal belt sheath.

A second runner for me, just for the coolness factor, would be a small keychain blade I made. It is a Talonite blade, with CF scales and rides in a CF concelex sheath by On-Scene Tactical. Overall the blade is about 2" long and 1" wide.
