Ive had an itch for EDC sized fixed blades lately, so id like to start a picture thread since there isnt an official one. I dont have any yet, but i do have a KFU wide blade EDC and an ESEE Izula 2 coming in tomorrow probably. I will take pictures then. But for now, lets see what you got!

Fascion - Whats your favorite out of those? or what sees the most use?

Favorite? That's a toss-up between the Karda and the Pro-Scalpel II.
The Karda sees a lot of use in the kitchen.
The Pro-Scalpel II doesn't get as much use these days, but of the four, still feels the best in-hand.

Sees the most use? Hand over fist, the BK-11, which sees carry daily (old pic, btw. It's wrapped now.) Oddly, probably my least favorite of the bunch.
Why? I prefer tip-up neck carry most of the time for EDC fixed blades. The kydex I have for the Karda is a bit too tight for my liking. The Pro Scalpel II lacks kydex altogether right now and I rarely carry it in the tip-down configuration of it's now modified original sheath. And though I believe I would prefer the Izula to the BK-11, but I just don't know yet--I never got around to actually using it before RAT became ESEE, and I've just kept it in like new condition for some silly reason ever since.
 
I carry a few different fixed blades, but this is my EDC work beater.

Top to bottom:
Dennis Cook outback
Barry Dawson deep notch skinner
benchmade 211 activator

my edc is the Barry Dawson, the ergos is off the charts, it simply melts in my hands.
ive sinced gifted away the dennis cook knife to a friend whom appreciates knives.
the BM 211 ive never carried, the handle is just too small and thin for comfortable use.

that would be a Dennis Cook Outback, i think its called. its made of 5160, i think he also makes them in L6 steel as well.
Dennis Cook is the husband of Lynn Dawson, who is Barry Dawson's niece.
all their knives can be seen on barry dawsons website.
Barry the great guy that he is, gave me a deal i couldnt pass up on the two knives at a recent show.
