I woke up this morning without ever thinking about needing a fixed blade, and now I have been looking at them all evening and pretty convinced I want one. This place is expensive.

Agreed.
I'm liking the option posted by bald1 on pg4.

Horizontal across the small of the back, reach for a wallet, pull a thug popper.

Picked up a Cold Steel Chaos from Amazon (don’t carry it any more) for around $50. Available other sellers...

Funny you should mention that knife. I have two of them in tanto blade sitting in a box not two feet from where I'm typing; got them some months ago and never put them away. They are indeed bad ass mofo's, but difficult to conceal, or even carry comfortably.

Great knife, no longer made. I just checked Arizona Custon Knives. All. Ek’s are sold. That model going 195.00

You could fuck some shit up with one of those. The spear point model, too.

I'd be happy to send you one if you'd like. I was thinking the same thing as SPG, but he beat me to it.

Sorry if I mislead anyone. I mentioned mine was 30 years old and cited two available models that have similar designs in my post.

Yeah I have a bunch of Ek knives and pictured them in the thread I also linked in my post on page 4.

I appreciate it, but it's a bit much. Thank you, though.

And we appreciate this forum. Let me know if you change your mind.

bald1...Very nice.

I always carry one of the 3. In order from top, Super Karambit, Combat Karambit, fixed blade Karambit. I do favor the fixed blade, but the combat and super are easier to carry and have the wave. Just one finger pull out of one of the front pockets and it folds open and locks on its own. Once in hand it’s almost impossible for someone to knock it out of your hand.






Pistol, spare mag, knife and flashlight are always on person. 31 rounds on person and a knife I feel confident.

In regards to carrying the blade about the ankle; I'm wondering out loud if something like the Galco Ankle Safe would work (perhaps with a field modification...)?

Lots of review sites recommend these $26 Topmeet ankle sheaths and get good reviews on Amazon. I haven't tried one but an ankle sheath that carries 2 mags is pretty interesting.

In NC, concealing anything other than "an ordinary pocket knife" is illegal. So, what to do? I know state laws vary.

My comment was on the Amazon options, re: sturdy fixed blade on a budget

I don't think either would work with this variant of the Cold Steel model 911Boss posted, but it may with the 5" boot knife from Cold Steel(CS10BCTL).

Perhaps this was already covered, but I think I read the bulk of the posts here and fidn't see it yet.

Cold steel 3ish inch boot knife:

Tac II boot knife

Sheesh, almost same thing posted by rat in the same minute lol.

rat, I edited your post by mistake.

Have you considered a Karambit as prefontaine noted? A folder with the emerson wave feature deploys the blade as you pull it from your pocket.



If you do consider one of these, get a trainer to practice with. If you don't I guarantee blood and a few ruined pieces of clothing
