What fixed blade knife do you find yourself carrying more than your others?

At the moment mine is a Gerber LMF II Survival Knife. That is until I get a Spyderco fixed blade.

The Gerber is a great blade nonetheless.

Thats a tossup between my FB01 and the custom I got from CKE. If I'm just running around, the FB01 doesn't get any attention. If I have any real work to do, the foot of O-1 makes quick work of it and only draws stares if I take my vest off (vertical, tip up, edge back, right hip)

Vox, that is a nice looking piece! TKC you really know how to make us sweat! I am currently missing a med size stout fix blade, for all around............fun that is! :rolleyes: I still carry my knealy ptk when pressed, also a Crkt hissatsu sometime. I am really looking to add a more general purpose med size neutral handled fix blade eventually, like the Sibert radical II over on reknives.com. Of course their are some others, but I will digress for now. :D

Vox and The Knife Collector, I like both of your blades!! Very nice.

At the moment, my only fixed blade is a TAK with green canvas micarta handle. It's a good knife, especially for the price point. I like the carbon steel, it takes an excellent, toothy edge. Nothing fancy, just a very functional knife.

I don't have a favorite fixed blade. I no longer own a fixed blade. I guess if I did a ton of camping or really could find a use for a fixed blade I would own one. The problem is for me that I can get just about everything needed done with either a SAK, a Spyderco, or an Axe or Hatchet.

I gotta say though, I love that VoxRold. That thing is just awesome!!!

Right now the Zero Tolerance 0100 in 3V, the old SOG tigershark in SK-5, and the benchmade Nimravus in M2. I can't chose between them. They are all in a different size/class for different purposes.

If I was to carry a self defence knife It woiuld still be the temperance, RH, horizontal concealed, or a smallish Dozer Agent, same carry. Prolly the temperance first choice. Joe
