The 9 Best EDC Fixed Blade Knives

Though folding knives are generally considered a more practical choice for daily-carrying, there are some rigid knives that have been engineered from the ground up to lend themselves to everyday carry. While seldom as compact or pocketable, fixed blades do possess a handful of advantages over folding knives, from not needing their blade to be opened to offering better strength to being easier to clean to being devoid of any moving parts or mechanisms that can potentially fail. Today, we’ll be highlighting our picks for the best EDC fixed blades knives on the market.

We are honored that the Axon Fixed Blade made it in your top 9! Thanks, guys!

[Sliceoflife-]

We enjoyed this presentation, our choice would be the Tactile. We look forward to seeing more videos.

These are all great knives and I own the CRKT shown but for the last 8 years or so, I’ve edc the Willumsen Despot from Copenhagen. It was a gift from the groom after I shot a wedding. He saw I was carrying a fixed blade while working, so he sent me that knife. I’ve never carried anything else, when I leave in the evening

A deep carry pocket sheath/clip makes a word of difference for edc fixed blades

[Eldrzi]

I’m sad my AK1 from Boker didn’t make it. Legit my all time favorite edc blade. I never leave home without it, board shorts or jeans.

[PRaysCorner]

I really like the Tactile Dreadeye! Thanks for show this!

[Lftie]

i've been loving the lookout, feels amazing in my hand and I love the titanium scales / hardware

[KenS]

The last 3- WESN, Vero, and Tactile were the only ones I was interested in and did not disappoint.

[ericcuellar]

The bradford 3.5 for the big handed guys, it should fit your hand and it’s big enough to conceal in that leather sheath no problem

[saje]

I really like the Kizer smolt in cpm-3v. Low price and extremely effective blade

[lymedog]

$185 for a piece of m390 cut and sharpened steel is not worth it …giant mouse is overpriced!

[davideddy]

The Watchman WF221 in 14C28N has been treating me very well so far. For $25 it's hard to go wrong.

[Neiltube]

You left out the benchmade intersect...my new favorite edc ever🤙

[rogerwood]

Benchmade and its pricing is no longer a friend to the common consumer.

[NZComfort]

The Dacian would be great if it was priced around the $150-$175 mark. The fact that you have to custom make a better sheath with a price of over $250 makes this a resounding no! And yes, I do own Benchmade knives, and no, I do not recommend paying full price. They not worth the extra expense. I was able to snag an Intersect for about $150.00, and at that price, it’s nice! Keep your eyes peeled for deals, trades, or used ones at pawn shops. Good hunting my fellow knife addicts!!!

I m suprised there is no white river knives, far best ever quality/ price

[richlpz]

Viper Handy should be considered for people looking for an EDC fixed blade. Great magnacut blade with very ergonomic handle.

[Phrish]

Loving that Guardian 3's patina!!!

[Mike-idgu]

Good video and a selection of strong options in my opinion. In particular I enjoyed the cadence to your video. 👏
