TKELL makes the best fixed blade knife in my opinion. His sheaths are the smallest on the market and you can wear it horizontal on your belt. You actually don't even know the knife is on your belt. Plus their knives are all American made.

Those last three fixed blade knives are real beauties. Normally I carry a cold steel AD10 and a Leatherman Surge if I'm not traveling too far from home. But if I'm going longer distance then I add a Gerber LMFII and a Schrade SCAX5 tactical axe.

For my fixed blade instead of an ulti clip i went with a discreet carry concept clip. They work pretty good. I replaced my hoslter clips with their monoblock clips as well.
@Swearengen1980 11 күн бұрын
I EDC the MKC Blackfoot in the pocket with their deep pocket clip. My only issues with carrying an MKC in either way is the orientation. For being right handed and having the edge facing the direction I want, the clip is on the wrong side unless you want to mess with the screw holding the sheath together. Horizontal carry, I think most people put their belt on the same way, so a front horizontal carry for a right hander means it should sit where your extra belt goes after the buckle, which makes it impossible to place there. The only way to carry it properly in the front is to reverse your belt direction.

I recently bought the ESEE Candiru to be my EDC fixed blade….not a fan for it in that capacity. Mainly the handle and it is quite difficult to get out of the sheath. I cannot pop it out with one hand. I’m sure the retention could be played with but obviously don’t want it to easily fall out. I have been trying to find a fixed blade that conceals easily, has a decent blade length, comes out of the sheath easily and don’t break the bank (looking at you MKC).

Its one of the 10 knives i regularly edc 👍 When my mom was still in the hospital we had to use my Spyderco to cut the roasted pork belly for Christmas dinner because they forgot to bring a knife, even a plastic one. I never wanna do that again, its greasy and gross 😂😰

@Fluxxcapacitor52 2 күн бұрын
I’ve carried the 2.0 for a year know. I started with the ulticlip but the sheath doesn’t lend itself to that clip. You can only attach to the non blade side which creates an issue with the draw causing ther blade to glide across clothing no matter what placement. The MKC is not a solid deployment blade. Blade stock is way too thin even on the war goat.. overpriced shank at best.
@grimecrimetime 14 күн бұрын
Yo MarineX, I never enjoyed kydex sheaths. I find them unnecessarily tight or unnecessarily bulky. A leather foldover that holds the blade and wraps around the handle slightly is the best for me. I find crossdraw the most instinctual for deploying(like a samurai). Hogue and Tops make my favorite full size blades, while I enjoy neck knives for style(and feeling like a wild west outlaw)

MKC in collaboration with Fieldcraft created the MKC FIELDCRAFT SURVIVAL KNIFE, designed by MKC's founder and Master Bladesmith Josh Smith. My favorite tactical knife with a unique conceal carry sheath that is fast and safe. It is comfortable and effective in any grip. Magnacut steel superb patina and a bulletproof handle. It is an outstanding system. Except for that knife, like you, I carry all of mine with that clip horizontally. The Mini Speedgoat is a nice lighter carry for some. Oh, they have a Generations Plan, they will sharpen fix replace the paracord handles, yes for each generation. Great USA-made knives as they say, "for the working man", better be a hard-working man. But very reasonable for the quality.
@brentrowan2794 9 күн бұрын
Try the ulticlip the correct way. The piece that you flip up isn’t what you use to grab the fabric. The fabric goes between the back piece and the hook looking piece and then you flip over the clamp

I would not like MTN to get military contracts because then the product would never be available for the public because MKC would not be able to keep them in stock. It's already hard to get MTN knives. They sale out immediately on release.

Not necessarily. Gerber, SOG, and T.A.G all have military contracts and we can get those items. If MKC won an award it would change their company forever because those contracts are worth millions. So they would ramp up production

Interesting that you released this video on 6 July 2024 as I have just starting trying pocket carry of the BIGiDESIGN Lookout fixed blade with magnacut blade and tigerwood scales, made in Tennessee. So far I like it. -6" overall length -2 1/4" Blade Length. The sheath has a pocket clip which I have been trying clipped to a magazine pocket inside a cargo pocket. Easy to deploy from there, but not as fast to return to the sheath, at least not yet for me. I'll probably try other placements, but if I have something clipped towards the outside, I always seem to catch the clip on things.

I'll edc a fixed blade if I'm going to be doing any kind of outdoor activity like hiking. Other than that, my folders usually get the job done, no problem. My current favorite is the Condor Huron. I've had it over 5 years, the 1095 steel has beautiful patina. Easy to sharpen and the spine throws a wicked spark.
