whats your favourite fixed blade

[pandaatkins]

I'm currently designing my first custom knife and would love to see picture of everyone's favorite fixed blades the more the better

ODC 125 by kornalski knives, i have to say it's my first custom knife and i couldn't ask more of the Vanadis 4E steel, in edge retention as much as in thoughness.

The finish isn't perfect but very great.

I'm a big fan of a full height flat grind. There is something about the clean, simple look.

ESEE 5.

 

[Rykjeklut]

Brusletto Bamsen.

I also really dig the Kabar USMC Fighter.

Here's some of mine along with a swamp rat Hairy carry I picked up a while back

The one I built for myself...

That's a beast Charlie Mike! You definitely have a preference for the fighters.

Favorites change over time. I just picked up a little White River Backpacker Pro in orange G-10. Liking this knife. Now I'm going back and comparing why I like it as compared to my other "neck knives" or sub 4" fixed blades. Just new or something about it that really grabs me?

I've got another at Peter's for HT... Elmax with compound grind.

No fav. Maybe click on the Instagram link in my signature line. A guy could scroll for days.

Here are a couple that I really like. First is a Bark River Wilderness Explorer in Cruwear. No 2 is a Dozier Personal in CPM 154. Third is the Dozier Pro Guides Knife in D2.

Matt, your work and those Treeman scales are an amazing combination.

The blade lift on your latest pictured puts my mind in a twist thinking I’m looking at a wakizashi with a western handle.

This is my fav. Just big enough to be useful, but not too. Grip is beveled enough to be comfortable, but blocky enough to maintain great control.

Viper knives Golia

Fallkniven F1

My favorite blade shapes, in S, M and L

 

[22-rimfire]

Size matters.... good point about S, M, and L. Suppose you could have an XL too. Wonder what XL means in a fixed blade? Long swords and machetes obviously would fit this, but where is the break point? I'm thinking 12" perhaps.

 

[Charlie Mike]

My sweet spot is 12-13" overall.
