Thinking about carrying a fixed blade for EDC. Whats your choice and how do you carry it?

Not for everybody..a friend at work bought this for me last year, I carry it everyday, it's a worker!Holds an edge and loves to cut stuff. I do carry a Smith's pocket sharpener for tune ups.

That fixed blade is broken!

i have been carrying this one for some time now. i have a small rotation and this is my favorite right now. Kitsune XT in a pocket sheath.

A prototype carbon fiber knife - 9.5" O.A.L. - 4.75" blade - SHARP!
-with custom prototype sheath made by Tim Wegner way before BLADE-TECH became big. I've known Tim for 35+ years when he was making made-to-order custom Kydex in his shop in Puyallup, WA.
He would sell me numbered production knives that he received from manufacturers. These knives Tim used to produce prototype sheaths for the various makers. He has come a long way.

The stamping reads:
BLADE-TECH
TIM WEGNER
MAKER
CUSTOM SHEATHS

Camillus Talon (Simonich collaboration). I carry it my front pocket in a kydex sheath which releases with a simple thumb push. Have 3 of them: Talonite, 154CM serrated edge, 154CM plain edge.

Ah...reading is fundamental...my bad

Carried in the sheath shown in the plier pocket of my Dickies carpenter pants.

It recently survived a trip through the washer. It was spared the dryer only because of the clunk.

Blame Thanks to that guy Dozer for making this happen.

I carry an ESEE CR2.5 on my belt. Handiest little thing and it stays out of the way so well that I forget I have it on me sometimes.

ESEE 3 (or sometimes a RAT 3).

I rarely carry a fixed blade, anymore, but this is the one. It was made as a collaboration of Scott Tanguay and Lamont Coombs. It is always in my Jeep and when hiking somewhere on me.

I should be getting an Esee Izula on Wednesday. Sadly my states law leaves concealed fixed blades in too much of a gray area.

I carried an Esse-4 IWB, conceiled, for almost a year just to see if I could. Never actually used it on anything.

For years I wore a Benchmade RiverRescue on my belt for work. When I changed jobs I stopped. For a couple years I've worm a Boker Cop-Tool on my belt, useful for many things at work... except being a knife. It's poor at being a knife. It made me miss the Benchmade. Recently I found this pocket sheath and have taken to carrying it in my back pocket at work.




If I could find a chisel blade knife that ticked all the right boxes I'd carry that, but I haven't found what I'm after.

I carry one of these but not a an ED basis.

I use to carry a HAK on a bead chain around my neck but it came loose a couple times. With that and now they are also somewhat collectible, it stays in the drawer.

If I wear a small fixed blade it’s either a a Bradford Knives Guardian 3 in a horizontal sheath just left of the belt buckle or a Strider DB vertical behind the offside hip. The Bradford is a better everyday use shape to me, as the Strider is a Tanto blade.

I’m workin on trying to find a lower profile sheath for the Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter. I’m not looking real hard as it’s pushing the size for me.

Set up the sheath for horizontal carry and rides at 1:00.
