Anyone just carry a folder knife?

[Fireflyfishing]

No. Fixed blades for me. Tried the Havalon and I didn’t care for it. Good for skull work, but that was it for me. I really like KOA.

Only lightweight folding knife for me.

I have a havalon with two blades, a saw blade and a normal blade. I also have an outdoor edge folding knife. Ive been reaching for the outdoor edge more often lately for cleaning game. I prefer the way their blade replacement mechanism works more than the havalon.

Outdoor edge, with replacement blades works great

I like the Lionsteel M4 with M390 steel fixed blade but back it up with a Spyderco Sage 1 Maxamet in the pack.

Years ago all I carried was a Buck 110, the went to a Kershaw folding. As I have moved further in this journey, I like a small knife. I do have an Outdoor Edge replaceable blade folder I carry now along with a good fixed blade. They each have their use.

I have. Folders are a pain to clean and I will take a few extra ounces to have both a folder and a fixed blade.

Not a fan of fixed blades that are either large or heavy though. I would probably just use a folder if the only fixed blade option was a BK-16 for example.

Buck 110…

Amen. 45 years

I like a small fixed blade. I use it for more than game cleaning though. Folders are hard to clean.

Lots of options in the 3" blade range....I bought a gerber priciple and then bought a neck sheath for it. Light, grippy, easy to sharpen.....hard to go wrong. I have several others too....of course!!

JMHO

I’m trying an Opinel #8 and #9 knives this year to see how I like them. One carbon and one stainless just to compare. Light weight, affordable, sharp. Not pocket knife type folders but still folders.
