An option I enjoy is my Bestech Heidi Blacksmith #1 with micarta handles. It's petite for sure, but very well made and disappears in the back pocket. I keep it there with an UltiClip on the included Kydex sheath. I got mine for $90 at White Mountain Knives. They charge less to start and I also applied a 10% discount code.

I've got a Busse custom shop drop point in Elmax. I was lucky to get my ticket drawn for a raffle to buy it at Blade Show Atlanta about 6 years ago. A fellow who came over to see it told me to get a kydex sheath for it from a maker across the aisle. Glad I listened. He took the knife home and mailed it back within a month. Best kydex sheath I own. The knife is so good I still grin like an idiot every time I pull it out to use.

White River has some really incredible looking knives. I try not to look at them too often though due to the price and the fact that I would be likely to find one I can’t live without. Bought a used Bench Made Hidden Canyon Hunter a while back (almost 2 years ago now). I've been really pleased with it. It has been my favorite overall fixed blade knife that I’ve owned, which probably has a lot to do with the compact size that doesn’t feel out of place to carry on a daily basis. Great fit in my hand, very sturdy construction, and it all but disappears when I carry it on my belt. I dont think the sheath is stock but it has a very snug retention and the scout carry position works really well for the knife. Still haven’t found my ideal full sized fixed blade knife yet. Not in a hurry though as I wouldn’t end up getting as much use out of it. I would likely only carry something full sized when in the woods/mountains where the utility of a full sized blade would be really useful and practical. Im really beginning to favor compact fixed blade knives over my usual Spyderco Delica. Speaking of Spyderco they have a newish compact fixed blade knife that Ive been checking out. Its on the affordable end of the spectrum and pretty thin through the handle, so convenient to carry but not a workhorse by any means.

Thanks for pointing out that the Guardian3 comes in 3V! I’ve carried an Izula daily for over a year, but as much as I love it I just get too disappointed with how poorly it sliced.

Agreed, I'm in a similar situation. I love the izula for a hard use knife, but It's not the best performing for lighter edc tasks. I'm looking at a guardian 3 in m390, heard the edge retention was better and the profile of the knife makes it a lot slicier

Beater or slicer in most cases u need to take your pick. I usually carry a nice thin pocket knive for slicing the izula can take a beating. If u break it esse replace it. The izula u can prob sharpen in nature for 3v or m390 u will need to invest in tools to keep it sharp I like having both
