Pocket fixed blades

[gibsonknives]

I have taken a liking to pocket fixed blades over the last year or so. A couple favorites are my Winkler SD-1 and my Auxiliary Manufacturing Runt Xl; both riding in leather pocket sheaths. Who else is on the bandwagon and whatcha like?

Pocket fixed blades are so excellent. Given a choice it's how I carry these days.

I'm in the same boat. Currently alternating between my 2 favorite Winklers the SD2 and the Sweet T. I picket up a Tailored by Cortes sheath, it was what he had on the shelf and not made for the Sweet T but works.

How do you like the winkler leather sheath. When I bought my SD1 that sheath didn’t exist and it came with kydex. I bought the badger claw outfitters leather sheath because it allows the knife to ride a little lower in the pocket

I first fell in love with Graham Brothers knives when they started doing their Razel. I saw it at a blade show in 2010 or 2011 and thought it was the coolest design. This is a Graham pocket fixed I used to carry a lot more. Paul Bos heat treated S30V.

These are my three most-carried pocket fixed blades. Left-to-Right:

•Ben Tendick “Aikuchi” model, 3V steel
•Winkler/FE “Sweet-T” model, 80CrV2 steel
•Caleb Havens of Angler Knives “Dorado” model, CPM-154 steel

One of these things is not like the others, aye? Haha. I do enjoy a good tsukamaki wrapped grip.

The Dorado. Do want.

The Dorado. Do want.

This one is extra special. It’s Number 1 of his “Angler Art Series.” That mother of pearl under the wrap positively glows. It’s my dedicated beach-blade.

Here is one Quiet Carry sent over to me. It is called “The Wady”…. I typically prefer a folding edc, but this little thing is pretty cool. It is extremely light. I find the size of the sheath works great in one of those lower side pockets you find on a pair of Kuhl pants.

I dig that!

That’s old school cool. My best friends dad worked with John graham for years at McKee foods and had a huge collection of grahams but other wise wasn’t into knives. I’ve been trying for years to buy them off of him. He’s got a 15” kukri he made that I’ve never seen another like it.

Picked this up at blade this year. Helm Dauntless v.3 Work knife in Magnacut and lager g11 with the deep carry pocket Kydex. I have never managed to carry a fixed blade for any length of time but this stayed in my pocket for 6 months and is by far the easiest fixed blade to live with for me.

Post a picture of that if you can ever see it again.

McKee foods is the jam. I love little Deborah.

You’ll be a fan of this new sheath that Winkler sent over for the Sweet T’s in upcoming releases.

I make my own knives (I've got a kitchen knife that's taking me forever) and this thread is making me think of a next project. For pocket use, what size do you think is ideal, taking sheath mass into consideration?

Credit card ready....... I tried an AMTAC Northman for awhile and it was solid. My son talked me out of it. Have done a MKC mini stoned goat in their pocket sheath some. I tend to go back to the belt for the fixed blade and folder goes in pocket. When I still working in mining I kept a Winkler SD-2 mounted to my gear when they still made the rubber handles and it was great. But this upcoming release looks majestic.....

I was curious to ask if you find the HumInt, top heavy? I find the setup sits high, there’s a lot of grip handle, and I don’t carry it well. I think I have the shorter blade version, maybe 3”.

How do you carry it? Front? Back pocket? I’ve considered getting the horizontal strap. It’s a great knife.

Its def top heavy, keep in mind that height let's you grab it fast you dont have to dig, depending on the length of my shirt ill rock it front pocket or in the coin pocket above the front pocket. It stays relatively flat to my body there
