For fixed blades its Fiddleback Family all the way, Fiddleback, Osprey Knife & Tool, W A Surls, Jarrett Fleming. They'll ride at 4 o'clock in a vertical sheath.
I gave fixed blade pocket carry my best try but I just can't do it. I think its because of the combined thickness of the knife and sheath but it could be the overall length in the pocket just doesn't work. Or maybe my pants are too tight.
I dunno, doesn't feel right to me. So folders ride in the pocket and I've had a ton of them but have scaled the crowd back a good bit (but it seriously doesn't seem that way after listing some of them out
). I've scaled all my Benchmades down to 3 models, my favorite being the Anthem, then a Bugout and then a large Grip that took a long time to build out. I scaled my Spyderco's waaaaay the heck back with regard to duplicates and also regarding models and am sitting around 8 Spyderco models. The PM2, PM3 and FRN Chapparal are the favorites. If I'm sweating my arse off in motorcycle class it'll always be a Salt or a Pacific with the H1 non-rusting steel. I've got 2 Southard Mini Tolks that are pretty 'spensive and hard to come by and I love em but tend not to carry them. (might be time to let them go just due to the "use your shit" principal) I'm down to 5 Hinderers (XM-18 3.5 Skinny, XM-18 3.0 Wharnie, Full Ti MP1, Firetac, Halftrack) and I probably carry the Halftrack the most and the Firetac after that. My Chris Reeve Knives got scaled down to 1 survivor, a Small Inkosi Insingo black micarta. The Arius has great action but doesn't get carried probably due to overall size/weight so that is probably on the chopping block, but still its one that I like. I really wish Bill would do a drop point the size of his Mini Goblin. Recently I scored an opportunity at a Three Rivers Neutron and the blade shape, overall knife thinness and blade thinness makes it just phenomenal. Picked up a Kizer Feist reverse tanto front flipper and the main reason was to try out that type of action before going to Blade and possibly spending a bunch on an Olamic Busker front flipper. Liked that Feist so much that I joined a drop for a Kizer Feist with drop point blade that Massdrop estimates shipping in July. Awww crap, there was also the drop for the Laconico Keen that I joined. And last but not least is the folder that I seem to carry the most just because of its simple but functional design and really nice action; a Monterey Bay (Ray Laconico) EZC.
I MUST stop watching those damn Shabazz videos!
My top 3 folder targets for Blade are potentially: Gareth Bull Shamwari, Olamic Busker Semper, Spyderco Paysan. Shoot 4, make that top 4 folders also including the Three Rivers Atom. I'd also like to handle a Giant Mouse Ace Biblio, XM-18 3.0 Skinny (hope Rick makes some in DLC), a Spyderco Drunken, and some Southern Grinds - Spider Monkey, Penguin, Quill. Budget-wise I'm realistically sitting at probably 2 or 3 of that list. But really, the main reasons for me dropping into Blade is to share that with my kids and see their reactions, social visits and if I pick anything up that'll be ok.
All in all
Bmurray
that was a good question you posted and I'm now thinking I should have just replied with "I have issues" or "too many".

. Your photo layouts are amazing too.

, I know your collection has changed over time as well. Of those posted, I only have the Wengeaxe, the beer scout, the kitchen knives, and the Cohutta set left. My wife has taken the Ban Tang and my daughter has claimed the Ratmandu or her "orange knife." Some I wish I still had but the nature of the hobby is fluid and I have a lot to look forward to.
