Looking for a Small EDC Fixed Blade

cbach8tw said:
One cool thing about these small blades like this, I was able to get a KSF leather pocket sheath that carried a small fixed blade and a SA Alox Pioneer. It was a bit bulky, but I thought it was cool to carry both in the front left pocket. That is when I started to like small fixies and got Into Duck Childress knives.

Finally found the old pic of what I mentioned.

Condor Compact Kephart is 1/8" longer than 5.5", and maybe you will need a new sheath for horizontal carry, but it is a good knife.

Has Condor had hit or miss with heat treatment? Or have they been getting it right now?

I really do not know, sorry. That is the oly knife I have from them now, the other (Skalper) I had givven to my son soon after purchase.
 
Why not a Caruthers ' EDC in a horizontal sheath?

Bark River Pro scalpel. This one is older, measures 5.5" on the button. The new ones say 5" but I dunno. one in 3v would be sweet. Not sure about the current ones' Sheath...I just Made my own since I didn't care for the older ones.
 
So, Lenny Lenny was that knife all you expected it to be? I figure you must have it by now.

If you want an inexpensive performer, consider the Gerber Freeman Guide, the plain-edge version. At an OAL of 8.4 inches it's a bit oversized, but it works for me.

The Freeman Guide is a fine knife, it was my first "real" knife and back then I thought that 30€ was quite hefty for a blade xD little did I know the rabbit hole that knife would open up for me!
 
Well folks, I got 2.
LT Wright Patriot with one of their horiz. carry Kydex sheaths.
It's really sweet and a great alt. to my folders. The handle is very comfy and the blade is thin and slicey.
I easily get 3 full fingers on it with the pinky wrapping around the butt end.
It came razor sharp too.
I also purchased a Giant Mouse GMF1.
Love the blade shape but waiting for the Oak City leather scales and horiz carry sheath before I put it through its paces.
It's an M390 blade, 5mm thick; a real chubster.
Not sure how well I'll like such a thick beast but I'll give it a chance.
 
Enjoy them both. I think you will like the Patriot for its compactness.

Very nice. Looked almost similar to my bamboo handled one in 154cm. I've got 2 in 12c27 and love them. One beater and one looker in fern micarta
