I did the same. I find that I prefer a more refined edge on a folder so having a fixed blade around to do things like lift a top off of a can or peel back some cardboard is good for maintaining a keen edge on the folding knife. Im sure its overkill to non knife carry-ers but its something I have taken a liking to. Currently carrying an ESEE-3 with a Tek-Lok in S35VN as the fixed blade of choice.I added fixed to folder rather than shifted
Similar with me as far as tasks are concerned. Have an Esee Izula as fix bladeI did the same.

I have the same blades, I find myself not wanting to use the BM as they are discontinued. Both are goodWouldn't say I shifted to fixed but since you asked and this thread has been resurrected...
