Worked in a machine shop where I did a lot of different duties. I wore a fixed blade to work one day and people were looking at me like I was a threat. Mind you in a shop full of roughneck men. It made them uncomfortable. So I just carried a folder from then on. But, it's sad that even other men have adopted this fear like old women about a common tool.

I have myself carryed a fix blade but I feel the same way I start out Carry it I also try to keep it conceal but under a t shirt it's hard I think. Shirt might lift up or you bend over working on different things. People might see it. Not that anybody I think ever saw my fix blade but it's something I always thought about while I had it on me at work. Never wore one out in public. But yes had cold steel folders in both pockets out in public or at work. It's way easier to carry folders any where than fix blades. But yes fix blades ate a lot stronger.

I've carried a fixed blade USA made Shrade while back country hiking and camping. Then carried it when I was an engineer in a tire factory and needed a large knife to cut samples. Now as a retired guy who gets out in a small town while walking a dog, I'm not sure how people would react to a nice fixed blade. I conceal carry, and have a pocket knife and even a spare knife in the pack that carries the dog's water. but carrying a nice bushcraft/defensive knife might make a few people freak. I was recently given a K-Bar and while I greatly admire it as a knife and tool, but I like being kind of invisible as I walk my dog.

i’ve carried a knife every day since i was five years old but i didn’t start carrying a fixed blade until about eight years ago and it has made everything better. i always like to pair knives and to find knives which really work well together. with fixed blades it adds a lot of options. i have found several ways to carry fixed blades and there’s still more to learn but since i can carry them differently it makes a great secondary option because it takes up different real estate on my person. they are often better in hand than folders and the overall geometry is not dictated by if the blade would fit in the handle or not and also there’s no pocket clip or weird flipper tab extrusion. usually fixed blades are cheaper and tougher than folders. it’s difficult to find fixed blades which are thin behind the edge but there are still a lot options. it’s really nice to have a full handle that i can put my whole hand on instead of digging a slippery folder out of my pocket. it’s nice when i can fully conceal a fixed blade whereas with a folding knife you could either see the pocket clip or see it inside my pocket through the fabric of my pants. since most fixed blades are tough they are also easier to resharpen and so they are an excellent choice if the job is going to dull the blade because blades with higher edge retention are not as tough and also if the job is going to dull the edge then it takes much longer to sharpen it again so that’s a great reason to carry a fixed blade. also there’s less moving parts so if you were getting gritty and muddy then you should use your fixed blade. if i had to choose one or the other i would probably choose folders but carrying both has been an improvement.

I carried a folder for years. I used it at work frequently, I had opened it thousands of times before, and I considered it fast and intuitive. Then I watched some security camera footage of real self defense encounters with a knife that got me thinking. I had a feiend try to rob me at plastic spoon point while I tried to access and deploy my trusty folder. I couldn't do it. Dozens of attempts all proved futile. I got stabbed up every time I ended up clinched and grappling with my draw contested. Interpersonal violence happens at close range. Hands on. You're going to be drawing from the drop, at a disadvantage, responding to a tool that is already in hand and trying to avoid being stabbed, beaten, or shot. Your efforts to avoid injury or death are going to require so much of your concentration that little of your coordination is going to be left to get your tool into the fight, and those efforts are going to be contested by someone familiar enough with violence that they are not going to let you do that thing with the zip tie, that little button, that flipper, your little wrist flick. Even when I got my folder from my pocket, my friend was able to grab or slap my hand and arm enough to make getting the blade out and locked impossible. I died every single time I tried to defend myself from a plastic spoon with a folder, and my friend is 10 inches and 100 pounds smaller than me. I tried the drill with a small fixed blade and we had to stop because it got really dangerous for him. Much harder to contest the draw when all you have to do is grab and yank. No fine motor coordination, little buttons or flippers. Gorilla grip. Yank. You're in business. Now he has to dedicate 90% of his process power to not getting stabbed up. Game on. I now carry a Tops HOG 4.5 in kydex or a Lionsteel T5. I would love an MKC, if for no other reason than to rep my home state. Fucking Biden economy is killing me.

Do you have to pull the sheath out to put the blade back in . I've seen numerous EDC pocket Fixed Blades but it requires you to pull the sheath out to put the blade back In . That's what so handy about FOLDER. Close it and clips right back into your pocket and you can do it without looking . When tools have pointy things on the end I'm gonna look at that blade until it'a rendered safe lol.. I love the quick access to pull out but putting back in is always an issue with pocket clip fixed blades . If you have this where it's just as easy to take out as to put back in . I'm freaking sold bro.. This are probably minor issues for some people . I'm low voltage tech and I use a knife a lot during the day . I've tried numerous fixed blades but non offered me the ability to put away without having to look at the sheath or pull out the sheath to make it safe again until the next time . Absolutely love the blades . Definitely picking up that blade you and Fieldcraft collab..

When I was about 15/16 I was at on holiday horse riding in France and they used to insist on a a lead rope being attached around a horse neck in case it needed to be used ,I cant remember the exact way but over the many years I went there it was mostly safe. However one day one of the more spicy horses somehow got a leg up and in the rope which was tied far to loose while people where mounting up. I couldn't unfold my little pocket knife and had to shout at people for a kitchen knife as most people where standing there like stunned mullet (the kitchen was near the the mounting block). Cut the rope when one was brought to me and since then I've always thought fixies are far superior to folding because when you need it it is ready. While we don't live in a world full of daily crazy situations id always rather be ready. Shame knife law in my country (UK) make my preference illegal but as a chef i often have a collection of large sharp knives in my bag that are exempt from the laws due to my profession. It never ceases to amaze me how many people freeze in an emergency.

With that being said, I’ve carried an Esee 3 daily for several months and can say that I enjoy having a more robust knife and the sense of security. However, each day, after getting dressed, the first piece of gear I put on is one of my folding knives, in my left front pocket (usually a Case Stockman or Case Sod Buster Jr.). Second piece of gear is a Streamlight Micro, followed by a full size Bic lighter, both in my right front pocket. After that, the Esee clips on my left side on my belt in a vertical position. I enjoy carrying my fixed blade daily but it is a secondary choice to my folder - even when I’m in the woods.

As far as self defense goes a knife is good to have but it's second to something like pepper gel or a gun. Knives are difficult to use for defense and if you cut someone up you are not going to have fun in our broken court system. Pepper gel (better than spray) is completely harmless and much easier to use plus it has range. Same with a gun you can pull it out and shoot a warning shot or just point it as a deterrent and it can actually be a great non lethal option that also requires far less ninja skills. Knife fights are not pretty for you or the attacker and they should be a last resort.

That is not true for all of Europe. In Germany, for example, you can legally carry a fixed blade with a blade up to 12cm (4.7in). That is enough length for a nice sturdy tool to have with you all the time. There may be exceptions like public events, concerts & stuff, but in everyday life - no issues. On the other hand, the laws for folding knives in Germany are bonkers. No one-hand opening, no blade locks, just slipjoints. Therefore I always carry a Swiss Army Knife and a decent fixed blade with me. Best of both worlds.

Always have either a medium to large, very stout folder (Cold Steel, etc.) Or fixed blade knife on you. A firearm should not be your lone consideration.

These people who go running in the city/suburbs or hike/bike/run in the wild without a stout blade are morons. Always have a 3" to 4" knife on you around town, a stout 5" or 6" in black bear territory, or an approximately 12" or so in brown bear or polar bear territory. It's your only chance if the firearm is unavailable/unable to be used or ineffective. These women who jog alone with no large dog/firearm or knife are idiots. And, ditch the earbuds.

USMC VV. Folders are underestimated, but it takes practice. It doesn’t scare anyone, but in less than 1 second I can have my folder out & threat eliminated. This isn’t for the college lady. This is for someone who will put in the practice. At touching range I would rather have a knife than pistol. For trips into the woods I supplement with a SOG Pillar. The part about the edge should be addressed. If you are carrying for self defense you shouldn’t use that blade for chores. For self defense the edge should be so sharp that cutting cardboard boxes will dull. For self defense you should be able to shave with the blade. This is when the sole purpose is self defense. Edit: Forgot to mention the folder I’m referring to is very high quality that costs more than my SOG. I’m buying a Speedcoat for my wife. I’ll teach her how to attach to purse keeping it unnoticeable yet easy to draw. She would never practice enough to use a folder as I described. I’ll probably buy a Fieldcraft for myself to try. Thanks for the high quality All American knives.

Pro tip: when walking in the dark you should already have your knife in your hand and ready. A lot of people tend to forget or don't have the muscle memory to get to the knife quickly. Stay paranoid, stay alive. 😂

Exactly! If your knife is not in your hand before you get in a dangerous situation; it is very little chance you will be able to access it be it folder or a fixed blade.

I’d say the biggest factor in the self defense category is having to manipulate a flipper when the adrenaline and struggle is on; good luck. Only advantage to the flipper is the dual use as a kubotan without a blade exposed if you’re not at a 10 yet but still, fixed is better. Thanks for the vid!

I've carried a pocket knife since I was 8. Everywhere. It's not illegal to my knowledge. I show it off too. It's very useful. I carry fixed blades for easy access. And also I like to show it off. Not many people carry fixed blades anymore.

NOTE: If you're going to carry a knife for self defense, PLEASE TRAIN. It doesn't really matter what you carry if you're not ready when the fight happens. Either because you didn't see it coming, or because you couldn't avoid it and don't have the proper muscle memory. Or, frankly, just the attitude that you WILL fight. Crooks are looking for victims. If you see someone shady, and don't start looking all nervous and shaky, chances are they'll look elsewhere. The best self defense training I've personally had is Krav Maga. All of the things your trained NOT to do in other martial arts (eye gouging, groin kicks, etc.) are actively encourage, up to and including RUNNING AWAY if the person isn't within striking distance.

I carry 2 fixed blades on me everyday. One is a Crkt minimalist Bowie which is attached to my keys. And I also keep a Crkt S.P.E.W on my belt in the front right by my belt buckle. The S.P.E.W just about disappears once it is on the belt. I often forget that I have it on me. And they are cheap enough that if I need to ditch it or if I run into someone that needs a knife more then me I can just give it to them and I am only out 20 bucks or some. I have tons of knives but those are my 2 edc knives. I highly agree with a small fixed blade for edc

I definitely agree, also a knife is a very bad self defence weapon. Especially one that was not designed as a fighting knife in the first place, you will not just cut the other person but yourself to the point where your hand will never work properly again.

Options for edc in California- conceal carry a folder of any blade length, open carry a fixed blade of any length. Folders can be spring assisted, no switchblades, balisongs, gravity knives. State law pre-empts county or city law.

Simple fact is, the hypothetical situations as justification for a fixed blade are 1 in a million for 99.999% of the population. I'm a country boy and I've never once found myself in a situation where I need to grab a knife 3 seconds faster. There's no place I go that knives are allowed where firearms are not. Courthouse, etc. Gun free zone restaurants, movie theaters? Fuck off, I'm carrying anyway, those aren't laws. As much as I use my folders, never once had any kind of malfunction. It's laughable that you're talking about breaking a folder by opening a box. You're WAY overselling it with that absurdity. Sure, I carry a fixed blade when I'm hiking, camping, hunting, or even walking in the woods. Practical/right tool for the situation is just common sense. And wait, did you just say a woman can carry a fixed blade knife in a sports bra, but not a folder? My pistol conceals better than a 3" blade whether it's horizontal or vertical. Pocket knives get lost, leave them in a pair of jeans. Well then you're a moron, my knife comes out with my keys, wallet, phone. Seriously, the overselling with absurd or extreme examples makes me not want to buy from you.

Remember before knives became tactical, they would always fall or slide out of my pocket. Lost some nice ones, so I started buying cheapest ones when it got dull I’d toss it and try a different one. Gun shows three for ten dollars and I was good. Now days it’s those Xmas knives when they go on clearance. Have a couple ready in my stash.

I rotate two fixed blades that I carry every day. The TOPS Brakimo and the TOPS Prather War Bowie. I carry them behind my back, inside the waistband, at about a 30 degree angle. Almost nothing is visible except the handle. Never had a problem with either, or had them get in the way.

In Missouri a fixed blade knife is considered a weapon. Frankly, I find this interesting because a person could use any knife as a weapon. Despite this obvious fact, many businesses, university campuses, etc., post on their premises a no weapons sign. Be alert to your state's laws regarding fixed blade knives. I enjoy them, and I collect them, but I would also have to conceal them to carry them in certain places. So, instead of clipping the knife to your bag, put the knife in your bag and don't show it or talk about it. This limits how quickly you can defend yourself, but it also may keep you out of trouble.
