Who else EDCs a fixedblade?

[Big Chris]

I EDC a fixed Blade. It is generally 4.5" to 5" blade, but have carried smaller and larger.
Here are a few of the ones I have carried.
Currently it is this one in M390

What was the price on that? I like it a lot!

I just looked on ksf because I think it's great looking too. They also have a really cool blue c-tek with or without red liners. Man, those are some very good looking handles.

That's a damn pretty knife. If you don't mind my asking, how slick is the handle?

 

[LX_Emergency]

This one is mine.

^^^^Very nice LX! Good looking practical blade. Small yet a four finger grip.


Been carrying the LT Wright Patriot. Can squeeze my pinky on if need be.

Thanks, bud - I love it! The handle feels slick only if your hand is dry and cool. But, like canvas micarta, once your hand warms up, or gets a bit sweaty, the handle becomes more grippy/tacky.

Here's another shot of her, freshly oiled and back in the woods:

^^^ That's a beauty, David! Looks like a beefier version of the Patriot (also pictured above in micarta by Dantone):

Who makes this fixed blade ?
That is one sweet blade !!

 

[AntDog]

Lol, that's becoming one of the most common questions on this site.
Nighthaxan. He's on the subforum where knifemakers sell all their fantastic goodies.

 

[heefageLA]

That would be a forum knifemaker by the name of nighthaxan.
The name of that blade is a 'limecutter' and they are a pretty hot commodity here on the forum.
When he has a batch for sale, they never last more than a couple of hours.

Heres a link to his profile.

Here is my fixed blade rotation although it seems like the Izula always ends up in a pocket no matter what else I'm carrying

 

[bdmicarta]

I'm trying it a little at a time. I carry the Fisk pattern folder below sometimes on weekends. It was made for me by a local maker, I believe it is about 8" long (shown beside a Bark River Bravo Necker II which is supposed to be about 7" long). I think even 7" is too long for EDC to work for me. The leather sheath with the Bark River is not real trim. If I had a minimalist kydex sheath for pocket carry that might help keep the knife in my jeans pocket and out of sight. I'm afraid if I went below 7" there wouldn't be enough handle for me hold onto.

 

[craytab]

I do! Usually one of these:

Aqua Salt or Bradford Guardian3.

BRKT Bravo Necker 2

Esee Isula

Esee 3

Occasionally an Esee 4

The Methods vary greatly. IWB, OWB, Back left/right hip depending on if carrying a gun or not, horizontally small of back or left of belt buckle for left hand use. In town I carry concealed. Out of town usually the Esee 3/4 or larger on my belt or sometimes pack. I also have one of the KSF pocket sheaths that is just fantastic for the BRKT, Guardian3, or Izula.

For a couple years I carried an Izula on my belt, too:

These days, I tend to prefer more traditional fixed blades:

Nicely matched L2D :thumbup:

I received a new custom sheath for my City Knives recently from forum member Claude Scott, really enjoying carrying these with a pocket clip.
