    Thank you for putting the Hare and the Beaver side by side. I have the Hare and was considering the Beaver. But they’re fairly similar and I find the hole on the Beaver off putting. My favourite small fixed blade carry is a Viper Handy. I switched out the scout straps for a Mummert clip. I carry it inside the waistband. I was introduced to pocket fixed blades about 15 years ago. I bought one from Dawson Knives and carried it for years. Even though it was a small blade, I’d occasionally get snide remarks about carrying a knife since the handle stuck out of the pocket. I do my best to be discreet now.

    One of my most carried fixed blades, is the Kizer Harpoon and mini Harpoon.
    I love those 2 knives.
    And a close 3rd is the Kizer Muskrat..

    I have a Civivi fixed blade knife that is set up for pocket carry. It's the Stormridge. Toco style sheath with a fantastic pushoff, installed an Ulticlip slim 3.3, and it works great. Very good video, G. Thanks. I forgot to say my carry for the day, Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Black S45VN blade and digital camo G10 scales as well as my Ferrum Forge Archbishop 3.0 with a stonewash CPM 20CV blade and blasted Titanium handle.

    I carry a fixed blade and a slip joint. My favorites are the stoned goat from Montana knife co. Wasp from very good knife co, Kunwu stiffy P, and Vosteed mink with carol’s custom scales. I have a lot of folders and I like them I just like my fixed blades more.

    Very interesting. I have picked up several different EDC fixies over the past few months to augment my cutting power as it were. I am finding I prefer the strength of a full tang blade for some tasks. At my size, my ESEE 6 or Junglas could be EDC but dang those silly laws. Hee hee. I am surprised how well though the Kizer Mini Harpoon 3V version fits comfortably in massive paws. I enjoy the precision cutting control it offers.

    Wish i would use a fixed blade more.. there are some gems out there. Only time i carry one is clipped on the chest of my PFD while kayak fishing. Folders are just so much more convenient for me otherwise. Good.stuff dude!🎉🎉🎉

    Living in Fla. carrying a fixie can be difficult if you prefer c.c. Everything prints. Not always wearing a belt, i.e. b-ball shorts. I find that appdx carry with an ulti clip works best.

    I have about 10 fixed blades, but they are all camping/bushcraft oriented. I've been considering getting a small edc fixed blade, but the thought of also having to carry a sheath every day is mainly what's holding me back.

    I'm not really into fixies. I have two, both selected for their small size and finger hole for safety of use: Kubey Hippocamp and Kizer Bowtie. I have no real need for carrying huge non-folding knife.
    Hippocamp has a taco kydex sheath I modded for stealthy 6 o'clock scout carry; I added a custom shaped strap with a press stud to keep it secure and prevent the finger hole from snatching on anything. Hippocamp is tiny, but kinda scary, it being a tall modified kiridashi.
    Bowtie I carry vertically on my belt at either 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock. I find it more ergonomic and less intimidating of the two, and the faux cast iron finish is really nice on that one.

    I just added three Bradfords in the Guardian 3-3.2 series along with a Guardian 4 Sheepsfoot. I really like these for cross draw or on the hip carry.
    I've carried ESEE for years but it was time to branch out a bit.

    I'm carrying one of a few Bugouts I own which is, in my humble opinion, the best EDC knife. But I'm itching for a small pocket fixed blade but I don't like the sheats which are too bulky.
    Also I'm a huge lanyard guy and lanyard is a great way to make a small knife easier to grab on.. Baby Banter is a great example
