Who else EDCs a fixedblade?

I used to carry a combo of izula and leatherman pulse, with the izula sheath lashed to the beltloop of the leatherman sheath so it sat behind the multi. worked really well as a combo unit as the pulse has no one-handed blades, and I didn't own any small one-handed folders at the time. I generally don't EDC a fixed anymore, but having found the joy that is the small fixedblade, I do carry one while fishing. from a legal standpoint I have to be a bit cautious when it comes to my EDC choices.

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.

Belated thanks for the reply!
 
I just picked up a Fiddleback Forge Esquire and a Jou'Fuu pocket sheath. This has been my EDC since I got it on Thursday.

 
I have recently decided to quit carrying folders. I have been carrying a Suarez Gang Unit and a ESEE 3. I just prefer the simplicity of a fixed blade and I really prefer carbon steel.
 
+1 on the carbon steel thing. I know I can't find a carbon bladed single hand opening folder with a pocket clip. Plus the fixed blade is always locked open
 
I carry my Umnumzaan to work and if going out at night carry My large Pogn by Bawidmann

Spyderco Gayle Bradley is carbon steel. And a great folder as well!
 
I've never used a Gayle Bradley folder and I'm sure it's excellent but I consider it a bit big for edc. Never held one so just assuming. Also as good as m4 is I hardly call it carbon steel. Sure it's steel and has carbon but so does all other steels. It's too heavily alloyed to be carbon steel. It's just not stainless

You and other people have some really good looking FB knives on this thread.
Thank you.

Thank you, Cate! The full-sized handle feels nice in the hand, too.

Here's today's BRKT - Cocobolo Bravo-1:






This one has an upgraded bushcraft-style sheath - I think they call it a "dress sheath."
