Anyone here carry only a fixed blade, and if so, what is it?

Not on these shores sadly

Only a fixed blade? Nope. With a Multi Tool? Yep.

I carried a Benchmade 210 for quite a while. Mostly during the summer months. It's a great EDC fixed blade.

Here is a pic of mine, it has since been sold as I just seem to have too many knives all the time.

Oh, that's nice.

Is that the G10 handled version? I just ordered a 210TK today. I handled the 211 version with the wooden handles the other day. It felt good in my meathooks and I like the blade size. A perfect size for neck or side carry, IMO.

Sadly not.

But not through choice.

Yeah it's model # BM210GG (Gray G10). You will really like the TK. The CF and Silver G10 is really smooth looking and it cuts great.

Nope, though I have been tempted (I don't really need to, most chores are done well enough with a folder, but still...it'd be nice & manly eh?)

Seems to be a lot of "neck" carry knives out there?
I'm not sure I see the good in this.

(I'm generally distrusting of anything around the neck, & jewellery in general, whatever you gain in ssmurf you lose in potential for mishap)

Once again wikipedia reveals it's wholly suspicious nature:

Quote from: wikipaedia

"A sheath knife is a fixed bladed knife that fits in an either leather or material (nylon, kevlar, leather etc ) sheath for protection of the knife and carrier.

The blades vary in size, shape and construction.They are very cheap they are only 7 dollars"

Wow. I have been spending waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much on knives then.

Most people do spend way too much money on a knife. I've plenty of $4 cheapos that service me fully well. =D

Besides a Gerber Clutch and Vic Tinker, I always carry a dedicated knife. Usually some type of one-hand-opening folder clipped in my right front pocket.

Lately I've been carrying a CRKT Bear Claw serrated fixed blade - either clipped to the belt or in the back pocket next to the wallet.

When carrying the Bear Claw fixed blade, I don't carry a one-hand-opening folder.

There a brutally tough folder

A lot better that some of the Strider 'wedge's' I've seen

Benner · **Reply #14 on:** August 17, 2008, 11:58:11 PM

It certainly looks like one tough cookie.

Tarrodemierda · **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2008, 12:22:23 AM

u meant cookiecutter

well u can make it pretty much fixed with the threaded pin it has on joint and u can carry it in its own sheath like fixed.
im not goin to show it any mercy just cause its sold as a folding knife

Well I still reckon you'll have to go some to break it Mikko
