The great thing about <3 " blades is that they carry so unobtrusively. I spent the last 9 months at the main office of a big Dutch bank. Carried my Little Undertaker exclusively.

Because of it's size it goes in a sheath in the pocket. None the wiser for everyone else and even when I did take it out to cut an apple or peel an orange no one would blink twice.

Recently made (and sold) a 2.5" blade as well. This one

It's perfect for pocket carry. I've started liking small fixed blades over folders recently and I don't think it'll change any time soon.

Alexander,

A 3 inch carry seems like a great idea for a fixed blade.  Seems to me that like Graeme, a lot og folks live in an area where a larger knife strapped on the belt and visible is an issue

For me, a small fixed blade is the best carry....but as I am in a big city, I tend to be very careful when I use any knife, especially a fixed blade.  But 3 inches or less tends to be where I stay.  I'd love to strap on a big ole 6 inch blade though.

Clint, the loop goes all the way around. So it looks the exact same as this does.

This is only a 3" blade. And there's no chance of it slipping.

I love smaller fixed blades. But they don't seem to sell as well as bigger blades.

Nice pictures Alexander.  The knife was set up nice in the photo.  A back side of the belt sheath would have been helpful to complete the reader's concept of how it works.

Smaller fix blade knives, 2.5" are becoming popular so you might plan on making a few of those.  Design a finger hold, small half depression is good, towards the front of the handle to give a good hold and lessen the chance of slipping onto the blade when slippery work is at hand.

I've been carrying one of my Little Undertakers in Niolox and with a stabilised wood handle.

I made a simple pocket sheath for it that I carry it in when I'm at the office. And the rest of the time I carry it in a horizontal belt sheath.

Lemme see, I should have a picture somewhere around here. This is the belt sheath. I just stuck that in my pocket before I made the pocket sheath for it. It worked just fine. But the pocket sheath is even thinner which makes for an even nicer carry.

Alexander, which one of your knives are you putting in your pocket? i just looked at your page, nice work.

Well, remember that fixed blade I mentioned earlier......it's still in my pocket and has only been out of my pocket a few times in the past 9 months.

It's just too nice! I'm thinking I'll carry it untill it's been a year....then I'll give it away or something and pick another one that I've made myself. There are a few in my inventory that still haven't sold to my great surprise. But this'll be a way of rewarding myself for making great blades. Maybe I'll just pick a different one evey year :-)

I am looking at buying a Kabar Becker, either a BK 22 or BK10. Any one have thoughts on which is better for serious camping?
