    For the longest time I never dreamed of EDCing a fixed blade but that all changed one day. I have a Mora Companion that I carry while hunting and it's my go-to skinning knife. I wear camo overalls and I can clip it to one of the chest buttons using the hole on the belt clip which is really handy. I took it to work one day to show it to a friend who was looking at fixed blades. Not wanting to forget it at work I clipped it to my belt but had it positioned so that the sheath was tucked into my back pocket next to my wallet and man...it fit perfectly and didn't interfer with my wallet at all. Its super comfortable and rides low enough that it doesn't jab me anywhere while seated or getting in and out my truck. Yet it's hidden and faster to deploy than my folders and you get the strength of a fixed blade. It's as natural as reaching for my wallet. It totally freed up my front pocket and I have not missed having a folder. I do always have a little Victorinox Rambler on my key chain incase I don't want to pull out a fixed blade somewhere and it has the added bonus of scissors and tweezers so between those two tools I really only carry a folder if I'm getting dressed up or something.

      No I haven't. When I go to the website to shop I mainly look at edc(able) fixed blade knives. The are options for folding, fixed, otf,auto and so on. So I click fixed, and go through the pain staking process of filtering (I'm lazy). With EDC fixed blade knives on the rise I thought I would suggest that option for the website. But then again it may be hard to distinguish what is EDC(able) on y'all's end.

    This was one of the best, if not THE best of the older (and maybe overall) episodes. I LOVE to carry small fixed blades daily. Often 2 or more in addition to a folder (I know, I have a severe case) but I'm pretty sure it's chronic and incurable, so I just go with it. Tyson was an excellent addition, and I feel like he was a great component to the Knife Banter dynamic, and should have been a regular third host.

  • @dbmeed
    @dbmeed 7 ปีที่แล้ว +75

    I carry a fixed blade karambit, right hand inside my waistband. Im a lifeguard, and I find it really useful for emergency medical situations. The karambit style I find is best for multiple reasons, such as removing clothing with less chance of accidentally stabbing the victim-can just slip it in and glide down along the skin without having to worry about it too much. Obviously trauma shears would be better for that, but for other stuff I would rather have a knife-such as in case someone gets caught in buoy ropes, anchor ropes, etc. As far as fixed vs folding blade, thats simply because of the water. No moving parts to get in between and rust-makes it very easy to keep clean and dry.

      Raptor shears, you won’t regret them. Firefighter/paramedic and swift water rescue technician are among a few of my jobs. Don’t get rid of the Karambit though, excellent for tangle ups and as a back up. Also as long as you occasionally use fishing reel oil they won’t rust much. Worth every bit of the $65

So i use my edc blades alot, so self defense isnt my reason for carrying but it crosses my mind so i like to make sure they are semi practical in self defense just in case. I also always carry atleast 2 sometimes 3 whenever i carry my multitool.

    I live in Los Angeles, California. . . so it's nearly impossible unless you are out camping or on a long hike in the forest. But when working in my home garden, I carry the M-Tech Biohazard Scorpion Karambit fixed blade, to trim the banana trees. I used to train working on slashes against the banana tree trunk, but as a cook and Sushi chef, I found that having banana leaves are really useful for plate presentations and for certain cooking techniques. Having a large curved karambit makes it really easy to cut off and harvest banana leaves. I also use it to trim small thin bamboo reeds also in the garden.
    I got this knife for the intention of self defense, but ended up using as it was traditionally used for as a cultivation tool for harvesting

I tried to carry a fixed blade for edc a couple times, I have the CRKT S.P.E.W. and tried scout style and the belt clip snapped off because I got caught on something, I ended up carrying it in my pocket because usually I have my keys on a lanyard around my neck, so neck carry isn't a option. I recently got the H&K dispatch, and I didn't want to spend time with the paracord it came with on figuring out how I was going to secure it to my belt.

    I carry the CRKT Minimalist Keramin. I like fixed blades for the lack of moving parts, and their durability, and the Keramin is a great utilitarian knife without being too big (though its uncommon blade shape makes it sorta menacing to non-knife people). I actually carry it on my belt on my left side and draw it sort of like a tiny little sword. It also came RIDICULOUSLY sharp in the box, so that’s a plus. First CRKT knife, not disappointed.

    I edc a becker necker in my right front pocket with the sheath it comes with. I’ve carried EDC for over 5yrs. I don’t notice it and use it a lot. Recently it was all I had on a impromptu 2 day camping trip. It was batoned through wood for kindling, built some poles for tarping and for food prep. Loved the ease of the 1095 and it’s strength. The handle is paracord wrap. It was a gift from a good friend so it’s worth more than the price for me.

    crkt Folt's minimalist bowie. I don't carry it everyday, i carry it as a sacrificial blade when I'm carrying a nicer knife or a large knife that would scare people. although the bowie scares more people than I thought it would. I carry it on my neck in the winter, and tip down 3:00 on my belt in the summer. It prints too much on lighter fabrics when I lean over to carry it neck style in the summer.

    Being right-handed, I'll carry an Old Timer fixed blade on my right side if I'm doing yard work. If I'm out hunting and I'm carrying my rifle I'll carry a fixed blade on my left hand side. If I'm carrying a firearm on my right side I'll have a fixed blade on my left hand side. But for every day carry I just carry a folding knife in my left pocket so it's out of the way of my keys. I'm surprised how many guys don't carry any knives at all in their pocket for every day carry. I noticed because they have need for it and they have to ask somebody for a knife or go searching for one to simply open a package.

    @alexanderweaver4838 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very enjoyable video, guys! I have an expansive knife collection due to hiking and backpacking for 61 years on five continents. Just can't help picking up a knife here and there. I'm ashamed to say my knife collection is not displayed as I throw them into a plastic bin on a gear shelf. Out of the four neck knives my favorite was originally a boot knife I carried while serving in the military for 23 years. It is a 7.25 inch full tang with a tanto blade and samurai-wrapped handle (550 in OD green, 2.5 inch lanyard). The sheath is a somewhat thick nylon cordura with total knife/sheath weight of 3.75 ounces. For a small fixed blade it handles small wood processing tasks well. I also own a CRKT and two MTech neck knives. On some hikes I even wore a Mora Companion hung on 550; my sheath has no belt hanger, just hung with 550 and wrapped with camo tape. Morakniv's are awesome! My favorite belt knife (EDC) is a Swiss Army Rangergrip 178 that rests in a Yakeda coyote/camo sheath cross abdomen style...and I use the acronym SPF, snap, pull, flick! :) It takes milliseconds to deploy the blade. It's obviously a folder. The only time I carry a fixed blade on my belt is on a hike/backpacking trip. I love that Azula(?), the color and the inverted sheath mode. On my military assault packs I wear my knives inverted on my left shoulder strap as I am right-handed. The preferred knives then are the Gerber Strongarms, either coyote or black depending on the color of the pack.

Still got sent to the hospital (was 6 people against me and my high school buddy, uneven fight) and incurred $3k in medical bills. They didn’t help me at all, and the only substantial thing they did was put me in danger of catching a felony. I didn’t get any legal trouble from all that, just saying it’s better to not mess with those. I now live in Pennsylvania (grew up in Cali) and so I can legally carry a fixed blade.

Knife and gun are both reachable by my right hand without looking and from sitting position. Most comfortable for me for edc setup. With a fixed blade I don’t have to worry about lock failure which has only happened once on a cold steel recon tanto. Small fixed blades I believe are very handy when wearing gloves, hands are cold or wet or your manual dexterity has been compromised.
