Cold Steel SRK

With its tough SK-5w stainless steel blade and versatile clip point design, the SRK is built for demanding tasks. Its comfortable Kraton handle adds to its appeal, making it a worthy addition to our list of best fixed-blade EDC knives. I have had the SRK for over 5 years, and I love it. It has more of a tactical look, but I picked it for the fixed-blade EDC list for a few reasons. First is price, usually it’s under $50, plus there is a smaller version out now that is a little cheaper. Secondly, it just works in a wide variety of situations.

With a blade length of approximately six inches, the SRK strikes a harmonious balance between being compact enough for precise control and substantial enough to tackle demanding tasks. The clip-point design, coupled with a razor-sharp edge, allows for precise piercing and slicing, making it ideal for intricate tasks such as preparing firewood, building shelters, or processing game….and of course, opens up a whole world of options for EDC.

The CPM M4 blade steel is exceptionally well done here, and the knife has great edge retention. This is starting to get a little on the large side for what I consider a true daily EDC fixed blade and the included sheath is not ideal for EDC as it’s more of a hunting knife sheath; it’s still a worthy consideration.

It’s a custom leather sheath, and its versatile design makes it a top choice for daily EDC carry.

Offering affordability and reliability, Gerber Gear fixed-blade knives are available in a range of styles and sizes. Their versatile blade designs and accessible price points make them a good option for EDC. I reviewed the principle in-depth here and while I was not really impressed as a bushcraft knife, the Principal actually make a decent little EDC knife.

The Principle delivers excellent edge retention and cutting capabilities suitable for a wide range of tasks. Its ergonomic handle, made from durable rubber over mold, ensures a comfortable and non-slip grip, even in wet or challenging conditions. The sheath is still stupid and ruins the whole package; however, the rest of the knife is Ok in the eyes of what you would need for a fixed-blade EDC,

Pros:

• Affordable price point.
• Versatile blade design for various tasks.
• USA Made

Cons:

• Sheath is lackluster

The Generies Brands Hidden Canyon Hunter is a compact, high-performance fixed-blade knife designed for those seeking a reliable and versatile tool for hunting and everyday carry, with a keenly sharp blade crafted from quality stainless steel.

The steel is on the cheaper end of the spectrum, but I wanted to include the knife here because of its cool looks and price point. The 8cr13Mov is OK and offers halfway decent edge retention and cutting capabilities. The steel is at least easy to sharpen.

If you are checking around Amazon and think this knife looks familiar, it’s because it’s a cheap clone of the original Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter. There is no comparison to the real Benchmade.

Kershaw Brace

On the budget side of things, the Kershaw Brace is a good option. When you buy from one of the main manufacturers, you get a known quantity when ut comes to fit and finish. The Brace is a lot of knives for just a few bucks. I also like that even though they call this a “neck knife”, the sheath is well done and has good latching points that can attach to your belt or similar easily.

If you want to test out if a fixed blade for EDC is for you, then start here. The 9Cr18MoV is good enough for the money and can easily get a good edge.

BPS Knives Citizen

This is a recent addition to my collection and was sent to me by BPS Knives to test and review. You can look for an in-depth write-up soon, but this knife is definitely worthy of consideration for your fixed-blade EDC knife. More of a tactical / dagger-style knife, it’s well made and has a great sheath with a clip that easily attaches to a belt or strap. 

XHM Awesome

Another no-name knife I stumbled across that has earned a spot in my gear rotation. I will never understand these crazy names that the overseas guys give their products, but here is the XHM Awesome…and it’s pretty awesome. It’s totally cheap steel, but the knife is well done. I actually love it. The leather sheath is deep carry, so you can shove the whole thing down in your pocket if you don’t want to strap it to a belt, etc. For under $30 you can’t really go wrong here.

Pros:

• Full tang construction adds strength and durability to the knife.
• Ergonomic handle design ensures a comfortable and secure grip during use.
• Versatile design is suitable for a wide range of tasks, making it an appealing choice for everyday carry.

CIVIVI Tamashii

I bought the CIVIVI Concept 22 a few weeks ago, intending to review and test it for a daily EDC knife. Besides looking cool, it’s a lousy knife in the real world. That’s the problem with CIVVI knives; they are all over the place. So I wanted to give the brand a second chance ad tried out the Tamashii. I’m glad I did; this is a really great knife. The blade was very sharp out of the box, and it really feels awesome in the hand. Great balance, a good fit and finish, and a decent sheath. It’s starting to push the size for a daily EDC, but nonetheless, it does perform well. There are a few YouTube reviews, but again, CIVVI does not deserve all the fawning it gets from guys on Instagram or YouTube; they must be drunk.

Pros:

• High-quality D2 tool steel blade provides excellent edge retention and cutting performance.
• Contoured G10 or Micarta handle options cater to user preferences and offer a comfortable and secure grip.
• Full tang construction enhances the knife’s durability and overall strength.
• Versatile blade design makes it suitable for a wide range of tasks, from outdoor adventures to everyday carry.

Cons:

• D2 tool steel, while highly regarded, may require more maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion compared to some stainless steel options.
• The overall size may not suit all users or everyday carry situations.
• The price point is a little higher for what you get, but you are paying for the brand name. If it was $10 cheaper it would be amazing.
• The unique design may not appeal to everyone’s taste or preferences, as some may prefer a more traditional or minimalist look.

Can I Carry A Fixed Blade Knife For EDC?

Knives have been a part of human civilization for thousands of years. From hunting and self-defense to food preparation and camping, knives have countless uses.

However, when it comes to everyday carry (EDC), many people wonder whether carrying a fixed blade knife is legal or practical. In this article, we’ll explore the topic of carrying a fixed blade knife for EDC.

We’ll discuss the differences between fixed blade and folding knives, legal considerations, how to choose the right knife for EDC purposes, maintenance and care techniques, and more. As someone who has carried a fixed blade knife for both personal protection and everyday use, I can say that there are many benefits to carrying one.

However, it’s important to understand the laws in your area before carrying any weapon in public. Let’s dive into this fascinating topic.

Personal Experience with Carrying A Fixed Blade Knife

I started carrying a fixed blade knife several years ago when I began hiking in rural areas with my dog. It quickly became an essential tool for everything from cutting rope to preparing food on the trail.

As someone who values self-sufficiency and preparedness, having a reliable knife on hand made me feel safer and more confident. Eventually, I began using my fixed blade knife as an everyday carry item as well.

While some people might find it unusual or even intimidating to see someone with a large blade on their hip or in their pocket, I’ve found that most people don’t even notice it. Of course, there are some situations where it’s not appropriate or legal to carry a knife at all.

That’s why it’s important to know the laws in your area before making any decisions about what you can carry and where you can carry it. In the next section of this article, we’ll dive deeper into the legal considerations of carrying a fixed blade knife for EDC.

What is an EDC Knife?

An EDC knife stands for “Everyday Carry” knife. This type of knife is designed to be carried with you at all times, whether it’s in your pocket, on your belt or in a bag.

It’s typically smaller than other types of knives and has a blade length of 3 inches or less. EDC knives are multi-functional, meaning they can be used for various tasks throughout the day, such as opening boxes, cutting rope and even self-defense in extreme situations.

Definition of an EDC Knife

The definition of an EDC knife varies from person to person depending on their lifestyle and needs. However, the general consensus is that it’s a small, lightweight and versatile knife that can be carried comfortably and discreetly on a daily basis. Many people choose to carry an EDC knife because it’s convenient and can come in handy in unexpected situations.

Importance of carrying a knife for everyday use

Carrying a knife for everyday use can provide many benefits. For example, if you work in an office environment where you often open packages or cut paper, having a small blade readily available can save time searching for scissors or using your teeth! If you’re someone who enjoys outdoor activities such as camping or hiking, having an EDC knife can help you perform tasks such as cutting rope or food prep.

In addition to practical applications, carrying an EDC knife could also prove useful in emergency situations where self-defense may be necessary. It’s important to note that using any type of weapon should only happen as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted!

Fixed Blade vs. Folding KnifeWhen it comes to choosing a knife for everyday carry (EDC), one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether to go with a fixed blade or a folding knife. Both types have their pros and cons, and choosing the right one will depend on your specific needs.

Differences between fixed blade and folding knives

The main difference between the two types of knives is, of course, the way they’re constructed. Fixed blade knives have blades that are permanently attached to the handle, while folding knives have blades that fold into the handle when not in use.

Because of this difference in construction, there are several other differences to consider. For starters, fixed blade knives tend to be bigger and heavier than folding knives.

They also usually come with sheaths for carrying on your belt or attaching to your backpack. Folding knives are more compact and easier to carry in your pocket, but they don’t offer quite as much cutting power as a larger fixed blade knife.

Pros and cons of each type for EDC purposes

When it comes down to it, both fixed blade and folding knives can be great choices for EDC depending on what you’re looking for. Fixed blades offer more cutting power, durability, and versatility overall but can be less convenient to carry around due to their size and weight.

They’re also harder to conceal than folding knives. On the other hand, folding knives are more discreet and easily concealable but aren’t as durable or versatile as fixed blades due to their moving parts.

Folding knives also tend to require more maintenance over time due to wear and tear on hinges. There’s no right choice when it comes down between a fixed-blade knife vs a folding knife; it all depends on what you need from your EDC tool.

If you want maximum cutting power without worrying about bulk and weight, a fixed blade knife is probably the way to go. If you’re looking for a more discreet option that’s easy to carry around and requires less maintenance over time, a folding knife may be the better choice.

Legal Considerations

Carrying a fixed blade knife for everyday carry (EDC) purposes has its legal considerations. While carrying a knife may seem harmless, laws and restrictions differ from state to state. It is important to understand the laws in your specific location before carrying a fixed blade knife.

Laws Regarding Carrying Knives in Public

In most states, it is legal to carry a fixed blade knife openly in public, as long as the blade length is within the legal parameters and the carrier has no ill intent. However, some states have banned the carrying of any type of knives in certain locations or situations such as schools, government buildings, or sporting events.

It is important to note that even if it is legal to openly carry a knife in public, doing so may attract unwanted attention from law enforcement or others who may feel threatened by your presence with a weapon. It’s always best to keep your knife stored away safely and out of sight when not in use.

Restrictions on Blade Length and Type

Each state has its own laws regarding the maximum allowed length of blades that are permissible for EDC purposes. For instance, California limits any blade length over 2 inches while Texas allows up to 5 1/2 inches. Be aware that there are also restrictions on certain types of knives like switchblades or daggers which are prohibited in some areas.

Before purchasing a fixed-blade EDC knife, make sure you research local laws regarding allowable blade lengths and types. Always ensure that the blade you choose falls within these regulations before venturing out with it.

Concealment Laws

Many states have strict concealment laws regarding knives as well – this means that if you’re carrying one on your person or within reach inside your vehicle without it being visible at all times (e.g., tucked into your waistband), you could face legal consequences if caught. It’s important to note that even open-carry laws may have restrictions on the location of the knife.

For example, some states require that the knife be carried in a sheath visible on one’s hip or belt, while others permit concealed carry as long as the blade is not concealed with intent to commit harm. Always familiarize yourself with local regulations regarding carrying a fixed-blade EDC knife before purchasing and carrying one around.

Choosing the Right Fixed Blade Knife for EDC

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Fixed Blade Knife for EDC

When it comes to selecting a fixed blade knife for everyday carry (EDC), there are several factors you should consider. Firstly, the blade length is an important consideration as it can affect how easy it is to carry and conceal the knife.

A shorter blade is generally easier to carry and conceal than a longer one, but a longer blade might be necessary if you plan to use your knife for heavy-duty tasks. The handle material of your fixed blade knife is also crucial.

The handle should provide you with a firm grip and be comfortable to hold even during extended use. Handles made of materials like G-10, Micarta or carbon fiber are popular as they offer excellent grip and durability.

Additionally, consider the weight of the knife as this can impact its portability and ease of use. A heavier knife will generally feel more solid in your hand while lighter knives might be easier to carry all day long.

Popular Brands and Models for EDC Use

There are many brands that offer great fixed blade knives suitable for everyday carry purposes. One such brand is Benchmade which produces quality knives with ergonomic grips, sharp blades, and durable construction. Their Griptilian model has become increasingly popular due to its versatile design that makes it perfect for EDC usage.

Another popular brand in this space is Gerber who offers several models suitable for everyday carry purposes like their StrongArm model which features a full-tang stainless steel blade that provides excellent durability while being easy to sharpen due to its shape. We cannot forget about Spyderco which has carved out a niche in producing some of the best folding knives on the market today but also produces great fixed-blade knives too – their Street Beat model being one such example thanks in large part to its unique handle design that provides exceptional grip even in tough conditions.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance techniques to keep your fixed blade knife in top condition

Keeping your fixed blade knife well-maintained is crucial in prolonging its lifespan and ensuring that it remains functional every time you need it. One of the first things you can do is clean your knife regularly. You can use a mild soap and warm water to remove dirt, stains, or any other debris from the blade.

Be sure to dry the blade thoroughly after washing it. To avoid rusting, apply a thin coat of oil to the blade before storing it.

Another important aspect of taking care of your fixed blade knife is maintaining the handle. Some handles are made of materials that can be damaged by exposure to water or harsh chemicals, so be sure to follow manufacturer recommendations for care.

Leather handles should be conditioned periodically with leather oil or wax, while wooden handles should be oiled occasionally with food-grade mineral oil. By keeping your handle in good condition, you’ll prevent cracking or splitting that could render the knife unusable.

Sharpening tips and tricks

A dull fixed blade knife is not only frustrating but also inefficient for everyday use. To ensure that your knife remains sharp, make sure you use a proper sharpening tool such as a sharpening stone or honing steel. Sharpening stones come in different grits (coarseness) depending on how dull your blade is- choose one based on how much work needs to be done on the edge.

When sharpening a fixed blade knife, maintain a consistent angle between the sharpening surface and the edge of the blade (usually around 20-25 degrees). You also want to make sure that you apply even pressure across the length of the edge while running it along the sharpening surface several times until it becomes sharp again.

Remember; don’t over-sharpen as it may damage the blade by removing too much material. With these techniques and some practice, you can maintain a razor-sharp edge on your fixed blade knife for years to come.

Are You Ready To Rock A Fixed Blade For EDC?

Throughout this article, we’ve explored the ins and outs of carrying a fixed blade knife for everyday use. We’ve learned that an EDC knife is an essential tool to have on hand and that a fixed blade knife is often preferred due to its durability and strength.

We also examined the differences between fixed blade and folding knives, legal considerations when carrying a knife in public, how to choose the right fixed blade knife for EDC purposes, and proper maintenance techniques to keep your knife in top condition. As we’ve discovered, there are many factors to consider when it comes to selecting the right fixed-blade knife for EDC use.

Blade length, handle material, weight, and overall comfort are all important factors to keep in mind. It’s also crucial to be aware of local laws regarding carrying knives in public, including restrictions on blade length and type, as well as concealment laws.

Final thoughts on carrying a fixed-blade knife for EDC

Carrying a fixed-blade knife for EDC purposes can be a wise decision for those who need a reliable tool at their side. With proper research and consideration of legal restrictions in your area, you can select the best possible option for your needs. Additionally, by taking care of your knife with regular maintenance and sharpening techniques, it will always be ready when you need it most.

Overall I strongly recommend considering adding a fixed-blade edc-knife into your everyday carry gear as it has plenty of uses, from opening boxes or letters to being used as self-defense if needed (within legal limits). Choose one that fits comfortably within your grip, whether small or large- always make sure you’re comfortable with how you grip it since you might have some resistance during emergencies!
