There is such an opportunity for Smoky Mountain to put more fix blades in more peoples EDC rotation if they make more custom sheaths for these blades. LT WRight is a perfect example , Beautiful little blade, absolutely no way to carry it discreetly. If you were forced to have giant sheath , Might as well have giant knife . Please use your custom shop to provide what manufacturers do not. Great show! Allen

Just a suggestion if you want to carry a small fixed blade at work. I carry a sog mini either in my front pocket or horizontal carry on my belt with a golf shirt untucked. In my pocket depending on the pants a tiny bit of the handle can be seen, which is not any worse then a folder clipped in the pocket. Anyways just a thought, have a great weekend!!

Thanks for the great video!!! I edc a smith&wesson M&P fixed on my person most of the time when I'm not worried about discretion as well I edc a sling bag and have either my sog or ckrt mini on the sling. If I go in anywhere I need to be discrete ill put my smith&wesson in my bag and move my mini to my person. Since I try and commute by bike most of the time and the violence is definitely on a rise. In the bag I have a small trauma kit and other tools. As well since I'm licensed I carry a vhf / uhf hand held radio. Living in Canada we are not allowed to carry a gun and knives are not suppose to be concealed. Legally we are not allowed to use a knife in self defense. If we do the courts can charge you with a restricted weapon. (Weird twist)

Your Weathorford knife looks not unlike the Schrade PRO HUNTER. UNDER FIFTY BUCKS!! Want a Loveless and can't afford $5k + ? Bob designed the PH as a one handed pocket knife. The most advanced is his CITY KNIFE, if you can go the freight. My PH has done all manner of ranch work over the last seventeen years, and parted out an elk, four deer and a bear. The sheath is the weak point, It is a pouch type, very serviceable but not the Loveless type, so I made one. I hates me some Kydex! rigid, and noisy. I've recommended this knife and given it as a gift. Yeah, you can spend more....

I have tried this and the edc fixed blade is not faster coming out of pocket. In fact because you have to have it in a sheath in your pocket sometimes the sheath comes out with the knife. Belt carry speed it is almost identical or slower depending on the sheath leather vs kydex this is still true with a folder pocket clip attached to your belt. Secondly it’s not pulling it out to cut something fast it’s putting it back in it’s sheath that can be a pain in the ass. I am constantly cutting boxes open with new product I sell and I will tell you your customers don’t want to wait while you screw around putting your small fixed blade back in the sheath. You really have to watch with these small knives putting the blade back because small knife> small sheath >small targeted return. The neck thing is also very slow if your concealing under a shirt and to overt outside the shirt for normal face to face business. You don’t need a spring assisted or auto knife either for speed. You need practice and constantly carry your knife in the same place. Another defensive tip a folding knife is easier to conceal in the hand unopened your attackers might never even see it coming if the fight endangers your life or your loved one. All this being said the best knife in a knife fight is a large fixed blade dagger/ modern bayonet/ maybe a Bowie but these knifes are not edc knifes. You better bet any edc knife you choose should first be a convenient tool and second be able to deploy in a fight (think breaking contact and running away)for your life because you forgot your gun. I love seeing Millennial’s struggle to get out there pocket fixed blades out when I have already completed the cutting task. Same is true with slip joints, leathermans anything those dumbass millennials can think up that fit their style and their pointy brown Keebler elf shoes and skinny jeans. It’s funny seeing their stupid faces when I am out of pocket to open>completed my cutting > completed my re folding task > back in the pocket and they are still trying to get their fixed blade with a snap out of the horizontal carry on their belt(posers). If your style is slow/deliberate or you want to be a fake gentleman and you have excepted that a edc fixed blade is for you well your living your best life. Please continue to embrace your idiocracy. Please don’t leave any small edc fixed blades on the shelf at smkw.com because you know the other millennials already ordered theirs. They will want to show it to you at the next millennial Keebler elf cookie cook off. Lmao…

You have very staunch opinions and thats great, this video nor any of these knives were intended for self defense. I am also not saying in this video that anyone needs to carry a fixed blade. I do and it works for me, but I unlike many, know, understand and can admit that what works for me doesn't work for everyone. It really is greatly dependent on what you do and where you spend most of your time. Clearly fixed blades don't work for you and thats fine, but berating someone for having a different opinion and when it comes to knives a different POU is very close minded. This series simply exists to give ideas and suggestions that one might not have tried or thought of. Now we will be doing a self defense edc very soon and you are more than welcome to come back and disagree with that whole video as well. Have an awesome day, thanks for watching and remember.... different strokes for different folks.
