The Bastinelli-Marcaida Pika is my favorite "small fixed blade carry knife." I sometimes carry 2; one on my strong & weak side.

Interesting knife....but That would never work for me since I don't have a weak side!
:O

When not in my "work clothes" (9-5 S&T) I like the Cold Steel Drop Forged Hunter as it's the right size and truly an "I don't care what you do with it" knife - which saves my folder from abuse.

Grohmann #1 & #3. I have been carrying the #3 hunting (deer, small game & falconry) for years and absolutely love it. Also use it for camping, edc, and general tasks.

Agreed. I think TRC is crushing the sub 5” category. Both in knife and sheaths

Well, I warned y'all that this might happen. This week, were it to become necessary, my favorite 5-inch fixed blade EDC would be the Ka-Bar Mark I with kraton handle and plastic sheath.

Absolutely! I understand the need for a discreet, legal sub-5" everyday carry knife in North Dakota. Here are some popular options (always check local laws): fixed blades like Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter, ESEE Izula, or TOPS Mini Dangler; or folding knives like Spyderco Dragonfly, Kershaw Leek, or CRKT Pilar. Remember, prioritize legality and focus on practical uses for everyday tasks.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into those. Except for the Benchmade with that company's problem with the 2nd Amendment.

I bought a BM 710 D2 back in 07- or 08', and it's a great knife, I still have it, and still carry it once in awhile. It's like brand new, just marks on the carry clip. I think over the years I only used it to open a couple of letters.

But after I learned more about the company, it's probably the last knife I will ever buy from them.

There are so many good companies out there now, we can afford to take our business elsewhere. They need to compete for us now, not us for them. :/

I might send it in because I feel like the axis lock spring is a little weak. I wonder if I can get the part and fix it myself...

Unfortunately you can't carry that in North Dakota. A judge will likely consider it a "ninja weapon" and I'd be in a prison cell.

Its not a ninja weapon, its a pruning tool for doing your gardening.....
