Fixed blades

[bh49]

I have none. Never had any practical need. I would like to have couple, but they are long discontinued and out of my price range now. May be I will buy fixed blade one day.

Have a dozen or so, inlcuding four Spydercos. Most would fall into the "small to medium game hunting knife" category. Haven't hunted for a few years now, but my Buck #116 Caper has seen the insides of quite a few whitetails.

[ChapmanPreferred]

I carry at least one fixed blade each day. I have a Spyderco Mule as part of the EDC system, but I sometimes add others to meet the day's planned activities.

I also keep some fixed blades in my pack so I have other options. Currently I have a Jumpmaster, a Rock Salt, and a K05S with a Red Sermolian handle.

When I set out on task that require lots of knife work, I use a fixed blade. I have a few, and am not afraid to have unneeded knives that aren't collectible

Like what happened with folders, is happening with fixed blades. I only had ONE fixed blade - fishing knife. Now I have Temp 2, Bushcraft and Swick 2. The only time Im planning on using them is for fishing or camping, so they dont get used much...

I love smaller fixed blades and neck knives. The main ones that I rotate are

Krein TK2
Emerson LaGriffe
Begg Tree Frog
ESEE Izula (recent addition, great knife)

No Spydercos as yet but the Street Beat is one I really want to try. I also have some larger fixed but those are usually only carried when I have specific need for them, like outdoor work.

[psychophipps]

I carry a Swick and a Street Beat all the time. Usually together. :D

I, like dr.snub, have quite a few fix blades, but none from spyderco. some are neck knives but they are illegal to carry here in louisiana. the others rest quietly in my knife draw. manuf. run the gamut from gerber, cold steel, BM, to off -brand cheapo stuff.

[VashHash]

I have a few fixed blades. I usually carry the ronin when i'm not working. Depending on where go for the weekends i'll bring the forester or the rock salt. But i always bring a folder too. I also EDC my mules every now and then. I used to EDC a Hissatsu but it stays home alot now. It's easier to play off other knives as hunting knives but that knife is just a little "crazy" for a hunting knife classification. Even if thats what sportsman guide called it when they had it on the site. Then again when the colder months come back the Hissatsu will probably be my Go to fixed blade.

I have a Becker BK7 for outdoor/camping stuff, and I'd really like one of those Landi knives for EDC.

[ozspyder]

I prefer smaller folders but I have a few FB's:
Rock Salt (great for cutting up meats - not so much chopping of vegies etc)
Ronin
Tinbasher custom camp knife (Australian maker)

Will probably threaten to get the smaller Spyderco FBs once again (I get distracted by Kopas too easily :p ), maybe the Street Beat as it looks like it'd make a great garden/ BBQ knife :)

[StangBang]

I have a...
Rock Salt
Tom Brown Tracker II
Strider WP Spearpoint

Plan on getting...
Ronin
Warrior
:D

[chuck_roxas45]

I have enough hassle importing folders that I plan to use. I don't have easy access to knives. I have Schrade old-timer that I carry when I work on the farm. i have several locally made bolos and machetes. I also have several Chinese large knives I beat on in the farm. I plan to get at least one fixed blade like a street beat for SD. For the moment, I'm having one made by a local blacksmith using 5160 steel. It will have a wharncliffe shaped blade and will be about 3 inches in length. That's it for now.

I like fixed blades, but dont really have a use for them. I had a few ESEE's but traded them just recently. I think fixed blades are really cool, but I just cant really use them like a folder. I currently have the Izula, 1 Mule, kabar cutless machete, kershaw something or other and some other no name odds and ends. I probably use the kabar the most-- yard work. For the outdoors, I am usually on my mtb bike or hiking, and I want something that is compact and lighweight.

I'd love to see an in-depth comparative test of some of Spyderco's fixed blades in a wilderness situation. I'd especially like to see how the Rock Salt and Temperance 2 perform as wood processing blades.

Anyway, I currently have one fixed blade to my name; a RAT Izula.

[tac]

Other than kitchen cutlery I own no fixed blade knives. I can't carry them at work, quit hunting years ago, and don't spend much time in the woods, so don't really have any need for them. I do like fixed blades, but prefer to spend my knife funds on knives I'll actually carry and use.

[SteelDragon]

I have several but only one Spyderco model, the Temperance 1 and I have several backups so I never run out. It fits perfect in the side pocket when wearing cargo pants cause i'm not a huge fan of wearing belts. I use it for all kinds of cutting tasks, nothing in particular and If I have the smoker or BBQ going you can bet the Temperance 1 is lending a hand as well.

[Monkeywrangler]

Hmm...Cantrell custom, HAK, Swick, Swick 2, MT06, O-RAT3, Izula, RR Spike knife under construction, Swede Bayonet, Drouillard custom, KaBar skinner. I think that's it for MY fixed blades. Not sure off the top of my head, how many DH has.

[Bushbadger]

I have a RAT RC-4, RC-3 and an Izula. Living in Philadelphia I have no need for them but it's nice to have a couple of fixed blades around. Plus I have a Becker BK7, for the future zombie apocolypse, you need a large fixed blade for when that happens...
