The sheath is such a large factor in how to integrate a fixed blade into EDC. I'm interested in adding a TOPS little bugger into my rotation.

Your pants can help a lot. I EDC an ESEE 4HM with 511 pants, and the sheath hangs off the belt and gets tucked into the pocket. It's a perfect combo.
@andrewlong5419 2 жыл бұрын
Completely agree, the sheath is almost as important to me as the knife itself. I edc a fixed blade in the Delta Sheath. It's a leather sheath the clips inside the pocket with a utili-clip. The sheath doesn't move and I've never had an issue with retention though I won't say it's as good as kydex for retention. It's biggest down fall is it's bulky in the pocket compared to a folder. But I use it too hard at work to use a folder. And the massive difference in ease of re-sheathing is worth the extra bulk. And I carry a smallish knife (bradford gairdian3) so it's not that bulky.

ESEE4, every day for the last 4 years, I use the spring clip to carry 5 o clock IWB ( inside the waist band) and appendix CCW. The sheath disappears and it's so satisfying when I need a sharp chisel, prybar , 8"Sonotube concrete forming tube cutter, etc. I have lived at a building site in the Uinta mountains for two winter's and ate breakfast,lunch and dinner on my tailgate and I don't miss carrying the nice tactical folders... The ESEE4 performs like a big knife, the slim handles and sheath keep a low profile and absolutely rugged durability of old school 1095 make me feel ready to take on any problem.

Izula 2 and the Candiru are my favorite edc. I've been EDC'ing a Izula and Ranger 78 SAK for about 9 months. The longest I've EDC d anything so it's a keeper setup. I ve been carrying fixed blades for 2 years and dont see myself going back. 1. Quicker and easier to deploy...1 handed 2. More durable... no lock to break... 3. Free up pocket space 4. Not dragging your hand across your knife to get to other things... 5. They just look nicer and I have way more confidence in fixed blades than I do with folders.

@krazykat64 4 жыл бұрын
Chaz Miller It didn’t rattle around, it was just the stupid way it was designed. One of the retention screws is really close to the opening and unless you’re slowly deliberate and careful about how you draw the knife the sharpened edge is almost guaranteed to drag across said screw on its way out of the sheath, thus dulling it. I could literally hear it scrape every time I took it in or out. I did a search when I first noticed the issue and it turned out I was far from the only one who had that problem.
@andrewmabry8995 4 жыл бұрын
Same here. It's going back to the store. It's the pins that run through the retention clips are metal and the blade slides across them on the way out and in. Got a CRKT SIWI on the way.

One of the knives in my EDC rotation is a buck 103 (I have both the wood and phenolic ones). The handle is super comfortable, and while the steel is nothing special the geometry is good. One thing I can't emphasize enough about fixed blades is that once you find one you like, don't settle for the factory sheath unless you love it! I have three custom sheaths for my bucks, two kydex models for EDC and a leather one with a dangler and firesteel loop for camping. Some people might think I'm crazy for spending $100 on a sheath for a $70 knife, but I look at how much I like the knife more than how much it costs when I choose to invest in it.

Disappointed that Jack, the Zac-of-all-trades, took his carhartt to a seamstress.

I can stitch together leather pretty good, and I can patch things if I have to, but I am not very good with the surge machine. 😁-Zac

Blade HQ id say it was probably good to have someone professional stitch up duckcloth

I daily a Fallkniven f1pro. The dangler that it comes with hangs from my belt with the sheath inside my back pocket. It's a perfect all around small knife, but it looks huge to a lot of non-knife people. Keeping all but the handle tucked away in my pocket keeps me from getting "those" looks. I've used it for everything from cutting cordage, opening boxes, pulling nails, opening bottles, even made a few sandwiches. It's my little buddy

TOPS Bull Trout has been on my hip since it came out! You have to have a nice folder with you to fidget with though!

What does he mean by "carry them in slip"?
@Mascolo815 4 жыл бұрын
Slipping the sheath into your pocket, some sheaths are meant for this, and can even include a clip on them as well
@SeemsLogical 4 жыл бұрын
A slip is essentially a leather pouch that has a pocket clip on it. It's different from a sheath in that it covers up the entire knife whereas the sheath has an exposed handle. You'll usually find it with slip joints but some fixed blades use them. The Civivi rustic gent is a good example of what a slip looks like.

I used to EDC a Condor Mini Bushlore, lately I’ve been carrying an Esse Izula for work, and I just picked up the new CRKT Minimalist Cleaver. I love EDCing a small fixed blade during work.

All great mini fixed blades. Do you use them for work or just EDC?
@reverendstephenlina7380 4 жыл бұрын
Blade HQ a bit of both. I mostly EDC a fixed blade but on weekends sometimes I’ll just grab a folder like my Benchmade 747 or my Elementum.

I’ve been carrying a Cold Steel Secret Edge for six years. Recently I added the KaBar BK23 and the Dozier skeletonized fix blades for a change up. Sheath on all three has much to be desired, but quite versatile and useful blades. Especially for someone who suffers from peripheral neuropathy and hand issues, but still loves working with hands. And all three are not too scary for people at my job.

And ironically-I bought all three from you guys, and the Dozier was from a recommendation from a review by another viewer on here.

I do carry a fixed blade every day. Lately it's been the Demonfire by Magnumworks. On the Fereum forge sheath, there are 3 holes on the straps you can tighten.

Hey guys, DON'T destroy that long hair: Suggest to him to donate to the "LOCKS OF LOVE FOUNDATION"!! That's for those because of cancer/treatments can no longer grow their own hair!!! You CAN'T cut it and then donate as 1) they've requirements that MUST be followed (no scalp issues, shampooed on site etc.!) 2) they don't accept brought in hair!!! SO, UNLESS HE'S ONLY ABOUT HIMSELF, THEN HE SHOULD AGREE TO HELP OTHERS!!!!! Take care, "God Bless", sincerely Randy. 👍🙏😇👊 P.S.: Where's the Wed. Banter w/GAW's???

My take on EDC dump is this: a sharpie (folder), a robust rescue (fixed), and a multi-tool for other tasks.

Why does momo Zac find it necessary to mention that he “uses” his blades or that it’s dirty from his “use” every chance he gets?? He’s a straight poser.

I just added a Buck 245 MWG to my EDC options! It is actually shorter in overall length than my deployed Benchmade 810 Contego and does not need a manual deployment to bring it into action.

Woohoo! More fixed blades! Hard to find any good info on fixed blades on youtube. There are more fixed blades in the world than folders, but less info. Thanks guys great video!

I carry a boker plus ridgeback as edc and love it. I am not a folder guy and have always carried fixed blades but I absolutely love the boker as a substitute for a folder (when I can’t carry a 5” blade). I carry it scout (front) and I dont think there’s a day when I don’t use it and it’s never let me down. I reccomend anyone shopping for a fixed blade edc look into it...

Don't know how many shared my experience, of once I started a daily carry of 1... got near obsessed w/ keeping it sharp ! Yea, I was cutting things I should not have... just to see what it would do... so ... more time got spent maintaining... Evolved into finding & wearing a neck knife... "just in case" primary was not 1st rate sharp when needed... lol. Good show guys !

I rotate between a Xancudo, Izula 2, BK24, and BK14 on paracord around my neck. I like neck carry because I can conceal under my shirt and it’s very easy to access when sitting down. I want a Lackey so I’m waiting for them to be back in stock!

As a truck driver (over the road) I've been out just over nine months so far, and out of the many-many...many blades that I've been collecting my entire life, I've been carrying the Battle Horse Knives "Dutchman Survival Knife" almost every day...but not in some states (like New York for example... or Maryland...and a few others), I wear baggy clothes (always), so I don't worry about printing. Although I am a Bark River and Cold Steel super fan, this really great knife found its way into my rotation, and since I haven't been home to switch it out, that's the blade that I've been rocking, and I have no complaints...it is a super-SUPER knife...I have it in 3V steel. This is a super tough knife...SUPER TOUGH.

I'm a fixed blade guy. I usually have (but not nearly limited to) either a bark river gunny, mini Aurora, psk edc, benchmade 200, Esee izula2 or my Becker bk14 in the side(carpenter) carhartt pocket. Really like that side pocket carry.
