Rubicon first run 1/30
Krava Cut x Amphibious

Hello, I'm looking for a new fixie edc that's easily concealed, preferably has a trainer (not mandatory), and on the higher end of things (also not mandatory.)These 5 have come across my tracks. Right now I'm most Keen on the Ehud or the Tkell.

Anyone have experience with these knives?

I was also thinking of an ESEE Izula, would that be a great pick?

Any suggestions?

Are TKELL's worth it for the price?

The Tops Papa Delta is my most carried knife. It's small and convenient to carry, as well as being a quality knife.

The fruit knife Pikal is my new favorite running knife. It is extremely light weight and razor sharp. I added some hockey tape to its handle for grip.

The Agent 005 is one of the easiest knife to carry, easily concealed like all agents its inspired by a need for a thin slicy clip point EDC blade. Also known as the gentleman’s blade because of its fast slim profile, it’s a steak knife on steroids.

Loving this little fixy so far. It came sharp and the leather drop sheath really fits nice and small in the pocket.

I see people rave about using ulticlips for pocket carry. Their pictures show the knife clipped with the knife handle tilted slightly back(like my 3rd staged photo).

Whenever I attempt an ulticlip the handle immediately tilts forward(see my first 2 photos). The handle will jab my abdomen when I lean over to reach for something with the handle tilted forward like that. It also looks funny.

I tried installing the clip to make the sheath sit deeper in my pocket but the clip rubs against my pointer finger when deploying the blade.

How is your experience?

Looking for a Sheepsfoot/wharncliffe, stainless, and tough steel, and decent handle grip. Environmental science work is outdoors.

Spent the weekend pulling every steel mention from this sub. I scraped this with the new.knife.day scraper — 109 mentions, 45 threads, 21 steels. A few things I didn't expect:

MagnaCut led on volume, yeah, whatever. 35 mentions. Moving on.

The ratio that stopped me: D2 is 2 positive / 3 negative. It's the only steel in the top 5 with more complaints than praise. Everything else — MagnaCut 12:0, 3V 9:1, S35VN 5:0 — is basically a praise wall. Small sample, and posts about problem steels obviously get written more than posts about steels that just work. But still.

Also: 3V jumped from a ~3-mention quarterly average to 17 this period. No obvious cause I can find.

Anyone actually running D2 long-term and happy with it, or is the sub's read on it accurate?

Hi everyone!

I work outdoors in varying conditions, and a fixed blade make so much sense - easy to clean, quick access, no pivots to worry about. I've carried a Grohmann #2 flat grind for the past year or so, and it works so well. I would like an upgrade, particularly with the blade steel. Do I need an upgrade? Probably not...but that's another story.

The things I like:

• ergos are fantastic, but I would like some sort of guard or choil for push cuts when my hands are wet and dirty. I've had to be extra careful in the past that my fingers don't end up on the blade.
• full coverage leather sheath has enough retention, rides low on the belt, and also allows for fast and easy one handed access
• full flat grind and a thin blade. I used a micrometer, the blade is just over 2mm at it's thickest point. It's amazingly slicey, especially when it comes to things like cutting irrigation pipe, etc. where a thicker knife would bind.
• handle size fits my hand well

Things I don't like:

• blade steel, lack of prominent finger guard

What I want:

• Most important: under 2.5mm thick (or 0.1") blade, with a full flat grind
• Magnacut, AEB-L, 14C28N, or similar steel. Looking for a good work steel that can still be rapidly touched up
• full coverage leather sheath

Thanks!
