Thanks to some training and coaching from Jan I think I may have learned how to do this.  Here is my old Buck 102 that my Father gave me for my 25th birthday in 1975.

Welcome to fixed blades.  The A.C. Warren looks like a nice working knife, and the Buck is a classic.

Being a new member, thought I mite show me newest creation. Red and black obsidian blade with braided bitter brush and yucca handle. Yes no. what do you think.

Clip Point - Tiger Stripe Maple from a company that is coming on strong with design and quality!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

I wanted to let iKC first – the pictures and Pre-order option for the White River/Jerry Fisk knife – the Sendero Bushcraft™ hunter – is going online today!  

This first run will go quickly. 

Of interest to collectors:  Jerry Fisk has agreed that for all customers who Pre-order through our website, he will personally sign the box.  So, if someone goes online, they can pre-order for $25.  That entire $25 is then applied against the purchase price when the knives are finished in May/June.  He will sign the pre-ordered ones and also the ones actually sold at the BLADE show.

Thought you would want to know…

White River Knife and Tool, Inc.

Finger grooves, guard, sturdy blade, pouch for a DMT diamond 3" hone; I like it.

I used one like that years ago, for a while, until it got stolen. Good knife.

That's a fine line up of fixed blades. I've new lined up all of mine, that might be something to do. I really love fixed blades and I have some really nice ones.

Robert, I would love to see some of your fixed blades. I bet you do have some really nice ones.

Yeah Robert. Let us see those cajun owned fixed blades. 

Here is a few of my fixed blades and yes, there all users.

Very nice Robert

Thanks Ken. The knife at the top has been with me hunting for quite a few years. The second knife from the top is new and is quickly becoming a favorite. I have been using it on fishing trips.

Nice set of fixed blades, Ken.  Nothing better than a fixed blade, in my opinion.

I like yours, too, Robert.  I see that nice birthday knife got snuk in there.

Thanks Howard, it's a fine little knife but it is only up to special jobs. I really love it for those type of jobs.

Nice knives Howard.  Interesting designs of blades and handles.

Here are a couple of fixed Im finishing up....

Very nice George

Beautiful work, George.

Real pretty.

Western Bowie USA W49 K

That's a fine big Bowie, I like it a lot.

Ken, I think the Turtle Man's knife he carries is a Western Bowie. SMKW sells something else but his knife is a Western.

Its is a strong sturdy knife for sure.

I have quite a few fixed blades and will try to get time to take some photos and post.

We would love to see them Bob

Well I decided I had to join this group. After all, in the past 3+ months...I've only carried a folding knife twice and a fixed blade the rest of the time.

Ever since I started carrying one of my Little Undertakers any folding knife seems to feel inadequate. It's kind of annoying me at this point and yet it still feels wrong to put something else in my pocket or on my belt.

Hahahaha.  Proud of you Alexander.  I gave up carrying large folders some years ago for similar reasons.  I still carry a little Case Butterbean for "fine" work, but it rarely comes out of my pocket.  And, I wear a SwissTool on the opposite side from the fixed blade, but never use the two knife blades in the tool.

I still want a large tactical folder....I don't really know why. But if this keeps up I don't know if I'll ever use it much.

I have one on order with Brian Nadeau but don't know when he'll get around to it. He couldn't give me a timeframe for it.

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 :-)

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

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.

nice. 

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.

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.

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. 

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

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.

Nice knife and sheath Alexander.  A high ride belt sheath would work as well for jeans and tee shirt with the tail out.  Keep up the good work.

I have one of Alexander's pocket carry fixed blades and I really enjoy it. I still carry a slip joint or friction folder also but that little pocket carry does most everything as well or better. I like the strength it has as a lot of friction folders tend to loosen up with tough use, I don't have to worry about it folding up and giving me a cut that I have experienced with the slip joints and frictions. Mine has proven itself with small game, rope, fruits, and other everyday tasks. I really don't run into many issues here  with the larger belt carrys but times are a changin'. Also, that little blade is as much at home in the city as in the country! Less footprint in my pocket than my other pocket carries!

That's true! You have that little thing. Glad it's working out for you Bob.

I guess the key to a good pocket fixed blade is a good blade cover that wont fall off in your pocket. 

Michael you make a good point which is near and dear to me as well.  The pocket sheath should be form fitted and would have to cover about 80% of the entire knife.  I too make my own sheaths and in the past have made my own holsters.  In the near future I am purchasing a leather sewing machine and just play around with ideas which will come upon me at the most inopportune times.

I agree Michael, a good sheath or bladecover is a MUST in a fixed blade. But that's true for all fixed blades and for folders both. So that's kind of a given.
