Spyderco Forums

I worded this title the way I did because I am interested in any shapes that would be good for a pocketable fixed blade, even if those designs might happen to be folders. For example, I have found myself thinking that a Sage would serve well if it were a fixed blade. Of course actual fixed blades are good too.

So what would be or are your favorite pocketable fixed blade designs?

I have a Kershaw Field Knife 1082 that I got a kydex sheath for. It is flat as a pancake and rides in my front pocket easily.

street beats and izula 2's

For a folder model turned into pocketable fixed blade, a Native 5 with the right Micarta handle, and definitely without a choil!

Never been a fixed blade carry type of guy, but these days can't seem to be able to take the Benchmade Dacian out of my pocket

Spyderco Swick 5, White River Backpacker Pro, Bark River PSK EDC, LT Wright Small Northern Hunter, Bradford Knives G-Necker, and TRC Speed Demon are some that I like.

Swick 6 would work well, but this is the only knife I currently have set up for pocket carry:

It seems like small fixed blades have had a surge of popularity lately, which surprised me. I didn't think they would ever catch on, but then again, it could be a short lived trend. I have always liked them because I tend to prefer a fixed blade over a folder if at all possible. Fixed blades are just cooler to me for some reason.

There are some good suggestions here so far, I like the look of a lot of these. Right now my current pocket fixed blade is an Izula. It gets high points for being super easy to carry, and I think the sheath works very well, but I want to try something with a different handle. This is a Fiddleback Forge design I have looked at for awhile, but I'm not sure if it is a little too large for pocket carry for me at 7.25 in.
This one is shorter (6 in.) but a similar shape that I also like the look of.

I carry this quite often. I like wharnie blades, and the full handle on this is so comfortable.

I will post pics later sometime.

1 Mora fixed bladea can often fit in pockets.
2 Bear and Sons have some pocktable fixed blades I like.

I think this pocketable criteria is more determined by the sheath shape and profile, more so than the actual blade shape of the knife inside it.

The Eldris is a seriously underrated knife. Wish it came in a flat ground option but the scandi works well for what it is. Super comfortable handle

I like’em!
