    Knife needed....

    Sure there are other threads but hey I'm lazy!

    Needing a fixed blade ideally win a leather sheath that looks good enough to wear all day so small, have a 3inch Esee and it's to big and obtrusive. Hoped they did a 2inch but they don't anyone got some good ideas? Like the look of https://touch.trademe.co.nz/listing/view/1179260953 but it's a bit big, anyone had one and got an opinion?

    Tried a variety of folders and whilst I like them they just aren't as study and have broken a few using them for things I shouldn't.... Could use the bahco but want something that looks just a little nicer, wear a shirt untucked at work so it's semi hidden

    Got something at home but would need to check. 2" is pretty tiny for a fixed blade

    Knife needed....

    @223nut. I have this CRKT Bridger. Quite like the shape and it's a good sheath. Blade needs a little bit of work but nothing major. $30 TYD

    Also a Bark River Fox River in 3V

    BRK will be a bit more.
    Message me if you're interested in either.
    Al Brown steel not included.

    Oops. Didn't see the 2" limit. Both knives are larger, by a fair bit.

    Have a good range of big knives, using a eicker boning knife in leather sheath with steel at the moment for hunting. This one would get used mainly for opening boxes, get sick of putting a nice edge on a little folder and then ruin it cutting cardboard! Realise 2inch is tiny, think the problem with my Esee is mainly the sheath, as it's got a massive fabric backing with loops and buttons... Looks all tactikool

    Only me and James. They are a top draw knife but I suspect not suited to Jame's xlarge hands.

    I got it off the Japanese UTube chap Virtuovice who had profiled the edge. So it has got a good pedigree. Anyone who doesn't have really big hands would love it.
    I sold it to James because I had 2 other Fox Rivers

    Just to throw more problems the mix I'm a southpaw so a reversible sheath would be nice instead of tangling myself in knots trying to get to the damn thing!
