Fixed blade knives

I carry both a folder and a fixed blade, as well as my primary pistol. The folder is really for nothing more than utility.

I like the logic behind the placement for Shivworks Clinch Pick. I live in a state that allows dual edge, YMMV.

I have several Ban Tang models, very solid knifes, just not cheap.

Ban Tang x Shivworks Clinch Pick Knife v 2.0 (Double Edge, G10 Handle, Belt Sheath)

One works great with Carhartt jeans. The other works great with shorts. Neither are too expensive, but are still really well built and can take a beating. Trust me. I use my knives for work as well as basic protection. Both are solid blades. The Cold Steel in particular is as strong as any fixed blade.

I rarely carry a fixed as an EDC, there are many folders that can do a very good job in place of a fixed. I have mostly higher end stuff in both. Go to bladeforums.com. Information and opinions for days.

No, that's terrible advice. If you love a full wallet stay away from bladeforums.com. Stay far, far away.

It's time for a knife thread IMO.

I carry a fixed blade cleaver and a folder on any day that I'm not in dress pants. This is the cleaver. View attachment 1575535

How is that thing useful for anything other than assembling a charcuterie board?

It's extremely useful and much smaller than the pictures suggest. The sheath is designed for horizontal carry therefore it easily fits at the small of my back. Although I carry a folder daily I find myself reaching for the cleaver more time than not.

How well I know!

I have carried a CRKT ignitor for the last 4-5 years and can consistently say it's my favorite EDC.

When I was in Colorado, I have to say, I fell madly in love with a Helle knife. Man they are nice

Nothing as of yet, but hope to drop coin on a Benchmade Infidel soon.
