@tkellknives is my go to for fixed blades. His innovations on blades, handle ergonomics and sheath design make his blades the best for EDC carry. OWB/IWB, horizontal/vertical, pocket and/or boot.

TKELL makes the best fixed blade knife in my opinion. His sheaths are the smallest on the market and you can wear it horizontal on your belt. You actually don't even know the knife is on your belt. Plus their knives are all American made.

Just got my first TKell a few weeks ago and already have a second on order, the sheaths are fantastic, they have great retention, are very slim (just bigger than a 1.5” belt), they use a single holster style clip to carry horizontal in the front or they have a ton of other clip options that can be added and their handles just melt into the hand.

Have been EDCing fixed blade knives for over a close to 15 years now, mostly Dozier and Crotts knives out of Arkansas though they are becoming a bygone era. Just ordered a Speedboat 2.0 earlier today and ordered a FLATAIL two days ago. Looking forward to this new era of knife making.

Been using fixed blade full tang knives for EDC for years. I've had one too many folders fail and my fingers pay the price. My normal EDC these years is a Holtzman Guerilla Survival. Used a Sharpfinger for years before that. Every so often I'll change out for another of my knives, like SRT, but I always go back to my Holtzman. It can take a beating, holds an edge, has a nice weight to it, and the handle is lovely.

As a lifetime knife user, I’ve always owned folding knives. In May 2024, I got my first fixed blade knife, the CRKT Minimalist cleaver. My last folding knife was the Gerber Flatiron (D2). So the CRKT was and is the perfect companion for EDC. As an aside, I’ve had accidents with every knife I’ve ever owned, until I got my two cleaver style knives for EDC. Because of the cleaver blade, I’ve become a better knife user and have yet to accidentally cut myself with my two cleaver blades. They don’t have a point for poking or stabbing, but the front corners are a good substitute.

I can't speak to many fixed blades, but I have some from MKC and really like them, I just haven't gotten in the practice of EDC with a fixed blade yet (I'm used to folder clipped to pocket). I do like the UltiClip, actually use it on a holster for P365, and on some of the light blades I don't even think I'd need to tie off basketball shorts to carry it without the shorts sagging. Appreciate the info, it was well presented!

I EDC the MKC Blackfoot in the pocket with their deep pocket clip. My only issues with carrying an MKC in either way is the orientation. For being right handed and having the edge facing the direction I want, the clip is on the wrong side unless you want to mess with the screw holding the sheath together. Horizontal carry, I think most people put their belt on the same way, so a front horizontal carry for a right hander means it should sit where your extra belt goes after the buckle, which makes it impossible to place there. The only way to carry it properly in the front is to reverse your belt direction.

I recently bought the ESEE Candiru to be my EDC fixed blade….not a fan for it in that capacity. Mainly the handle and it is quite difficult to get out of the sheath. I cannot pop it out with one hand. I’m sure the retention could be played with but obviously don’t want it to easily fall out. I have been trying to find a fixed blade that conceals easily, has a decent blade length, comes out of the sheath easily and don’t break the bank (looking at you MKC).

Interesting that you released this video on 6 July 2024 as I have just starting trying pocket carry of the BIGiDESIGN Lookout fixed blade with magnacut blade and tigerwood scales, made in Tennessee. So far I like it. -6" overall length -2 1/4" Blade Length. The sheath has a pocket clip which I have been trying clipped to a magazine pocket inside a cargo pocket. Easy to deploy from there, but not as fast to return to the sheath, at least not yet for me. I'll probably try other placements, but if I have something clipped towards the outside, I always seem to catch the clip on things.

Yo MarineX, I never enjoyed kydex sheaths. I find them unnecessarily tight or unnecessarily bulky. A leather foldover that holds the blade and wraps around the handle slightly is the best for me. I find crossdraw the most instinctual for deploying(like a samurai). Hogue and Tops make my favorite full size blades, while I enjoy neck knives for style(and feeling like a wild west outlaw)

MKC in collaboration with Fieldcraft created the MKC FIELDCRAFT SURVIVAL KNIFE, designed by MKC's founder and Master Bladesmith Josh Smith. My favorite tactical knife with a unique conceal carry sheath that is fast and safe. It is comfortable and effective in any grip. Magnacut steel superb patina and a bulletproof handle. It is an outstanding system. Except for that knife, like you, I carry all of mine with that clip horizontally. The Mini Speedgoat is a nice lighter carry for some. Oh, they have a Generations Plan, they will sharpen fix replace the paracord handles, yes for each generation. Great USA-made knives as they say, "for the working man", better be a hard-working man. But very reasonable for the quality.

I’ve carried the 2.0 for a year know. I started with the ulticlip but the sheath doesn’t lend itself to that clip. You can only attach to the non blade side which creates an issue with the draw causing ther blade to glide across clothing no matter what placement. The MKC is not a solid deployment blade. Blade stock is way too thin even on the war goat.. overpriced shank at best.
