Guys, I know this subject has been beat to death, but please humor me one more time.
I currently carry a Benchmade Griptillian, but I'm wanting to go the fixed blade route for EDC, I'm leaning towards an Izula II, so.......for those of you who do a fixed blade on a daily basis; what and how are you doing it? |
| I like the Spyderco Fred Perrin Bowie thinking about either a Street Beat or a midtech next. I've carried a Perrin large LaGriffe on and off too. I used to edc a Bob Dozier Arkansas Toothpick in an IWB sheath I made back when I was doing custom kydex and lived in NYC. |

Some interesting recommendations so far.
What are your thoughts on the TDI fixed blade by KA-BAR? |

we just started offering a little EDC fixed blade model for this year. i am moving into frame locks and balisong designs, so we aren't doing as many fixed blade designs. this is the Copperhead and is 7" overall. i think that is about the pefect length. for me, anyway. i like to carry a fixed blade and an auto most of the time.

Who makes it? Is there a name for that blade shape? |

Quoted:
well, i make the Copperhead EDC blade, but i am not sure if there is a name for that blade shape. other than saying it is a recurve style blade. most of my designs have a recurve aspect to them. just always liked them. TPS Nice. I like the style. Got a link to your work? |
Enzo Necker for me.
You can get it with many different handle materials or without scales like an Izula. I got a plain one and put micarta scales on it. Carry it in the Enzo brand leather sheath on my belt but there are many options if you go with the factory Kydex sheath. Also it comes in Scandi grind like mine or flat grind with traditional V grind. |

I have carried a SOG Pentagon on three continents with the shoulder system and belt sheath. I did lose one knife while diving off the coast of Africa by dropping it off the boat while rinsing gear. http://i350.photobucket.com/albums/q427/Old18C/Toys/SOG%20Sheath_zpsnkk4xlnl.jpg I love survival sheath systems shoulder rigs and carried a Microtech Socom in one back in the late '90s. Keeping with topic, I use either a Spyderco Perrin Street Bowie in factory sheath or a Dozier Arkansas Toothpick in IWB sheath of my making. |

Its one I made called the Reaper. On this one I did a rustic finish and leather wrapped the handle. I rotate between a few fixed blades of my own creation. I'm currently working on a more defensive type blade similar to a karambit but a little smaller and without the ring. |
