I have carried a Spyderco GB or Manix daily for the last few years, and cannot imagine leaving the house without a blade in my pocket. Up until now, I have not given any serious thought to carrying a fixed blade knife on a daily basis. At the show last weekend I was impressed by how many Fiddleback people were carrying fixed blades, and I have started seriously considering carrying a Fiddleback.
So, I have a few questions:
What is the best model to EDC? I am thinking about the Esquire, Hiking Buddy or Handyman, but am TOTALLY open to suggestions.
Where do you carry? Front pocket, back pocket, belt? I am thinking front pocket, but again, I am TOTALLY open to suggestions.
Talk to me about retention. I sit down and stand up a lot. I recline on a couch to do e-mails, and play with my kid. I never worry about my folder coming out of my pocket or opening. However, I am not sure that a fixed blade would be as secure. Please, share your thoughts on this subject.
Some of you guys have been EDCing a Fiddleback for years. You have a great amount of experience. Tell me what else I should be thinking about. Please, share you knowledge and experience.
Thanks!
