Looking for a Small EDC Fixed Blade

[Lenny]

Yeah, I like that one but no horiz carry sheath.

Um,Dave who?

I'm sorry to be so obtuse but I'm obviously not that well versed with all the names and web sites.
Hate to be a drag but if you know the full name or website, could you please post it,
Thanks!

Exactly what I do and carry daily. Two in that size range. The Mestano:

The Gordo:

The Vaquero is a whisper of a hair longer at 5 5/8":

Horizontal sheaths from fancy to not so much:

My own personal EDC, a Mestano:

Your knives are gorgeous.
But I couldn't find a link on your site for ordering, just "in stock knives"

Howdy I’m Dave.

Thank you. Ya can call if you want something specific as far as handle materials or sheaths go. But watch that in stock page. There will be a new batch put on either tonight or tomorrow. Several that would interest you. I do also make a lot of my sheaths for other folks knives. Its a big part of our business.

The GMF1 isn't horizontal carry either, and you proclaimed that as your front runner. You can always get a sheath made of you don't like what comes with a knife

I really like this Bradford.

Guardian 3?
Too long

Just out of curiosity, Lenny , why horizontal carry? Is it a concealment thing, a functional preference, or something else?

IWB Soft Belt Loops - Holster Accessories with Dot Cap for Better Security - Heavy-Duty Holster Clip Works with 1.5" & 1.75" Belts - Kydex & Sheath Belt Loops with Hardware Kit
Just saw these on amazon. But there are many different ones.

Easier to cross draw, nothing poking me in the side mainly.
I have bad shoulders so reaching any further back than my pocket is not fun.

Lots of good suggestions here, and Horsewright knives are excellent.

Another option is David Mary who is another maker-member here. Here's some examples of his work:

What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

I think I'll use this as a general WIP thread. You can expect to see everything from ugly pics of works in progress, to pics of finished knives. A lot of what I make and show here is be destined for the Maker's Market in the exchange section, but anyone can contact me about a piece at any time...

Too long.
I have an Izula II that I love but it's obviously too long too.

Really folks, I won't relax my 5.5" total length requirement.
