I currently carry a Benchmade 810 as my EDC and I love it but I am looking to explore my options when it comes to carrying a fixed blade knife concealed. I live in Arizona so Iam not too limited but I know very little about quality fixed blade knives. FWIW, my EDC firearm is the HK P7M8 so I want a fixed blade that will complement that...so I'm not really looking for any $20 knives for this particular application. What do you guys think highly of???
 
Depending on where you live in AZ ( valley or mountains) can limit what you carry. Hard to conceal much in t-shirt and shorts.
 
Titanium Street Samurai in a shoulder rig.



Knife weighs less than 6 ounces.
 
Something from one of these makers...

Laci Szabo
Fred Perrin
Bud Nealy
Charlie Mike

Frankly I think Charlie is a good bet, I don't own anything from him but his work is really taking off right now, and this kind of thing is right down his alley.
 
H&K Dispatch, for $60 in d2 tanto, it will compliment your sidearm and contego quite nicely I would think?

H&K pistol + Benchmade folder
Why not an
H&K fixed blade made by Benchmade?
 
Charlie Mike's Sidewalk samurai I got yesterday and I did a cross draw sheath for it. It conceals easy under my shirt. Around 2 ounces I believe, and amazingly sharp.

I carry a fixed backup that is generally around 5.5-6in OAL with a 3 in blade. Carry lengthwise on my belt (cross draw above left pocket) for minimal printing. I got into the habbit with a Alan Folts Minimalist. Mike Snody makes some great small sized fixies as well. Lately I've been making a lot of backup/neck knives.

today's carry O1 Mini Cleaver - 5.5in OAL, 3in blade, chisel ground, cross draw sheath w/belt clip:

I own from Nealy, have carried his Aikuchi for nearly 26 years daily, I'd stake my life on it and I also carry a 9mm as primary.

I have a knife from Matt (Charlie Mike) called the Mad Hungarian and it's a very well made fixed blade that's held up to everything I've thrown at it. I'd highly recommend Charlie Mike for a tough as nails reasonably priced knife in by one of our own.

Thanks for the mention. I make my knives to be first, a weapon... all else is secondary.
 
Bk11, 14, 16, or 24 with a kydex sheath. I edc a bk16 with a kydex sheath and love it. Conceals prefect under a shirt or hoody.
 








All particularly nasty... purpose built tools.
 
I appendix carry a Benchmade SOCP dagger on my weak side. I can easily access it with either hand.
 
Another vote for Bud Nealy. His work is excellent, value priced and he and Toni are great to deal with.

Another vote for Charlie Mike. A stand up guy who always comes across.
