small fixed blade with simple basic design

[octagon]

Does anyone know where I can find small fixed blade simple basic design knives like these but without the serious price tag?

I love his clean basic design and lines and that the knives are not overly large. I am looking for something similar(or exactly like them) for IWB and/or neck carry and rare pocket carry possibly. I like Tanto,spear and drop points.

I'm not a knife expert, but I won one of these on a P-F karma, really like it:

I think it was this one: https://www.amazon.com/Columbia-River-Knife-Tool-2384K/dp/B01BAJIOAW/

You could be right. :)

Perhaps something like an ESEE Candiru (https://www.amazon.com/ESEE-Candiru-Molded-Sheath-Earth/dp/B00PBBD6YA) or Izula (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAPG782/).

I really dig them. Solid knives that you can beat on and not feel guilty.

Someone also makes a pretty slick sheath for these that allows a very easy centerline carry. ;)

I like small knives, but found the Candiru too small to be useful. I'd go with an Izula (I have an Eskabar, which is the same handle, but a larger blade).

Agree.

The Izula is a really good small utility design. With a good cord wrap it can do defensive work just fine, too.

Look at the companion from JB Knife & Tool.

Since sending mine to JC for one of his sons, I've had to appropriate this one given to my wife by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin since she doesn't carry it...

Shoot me a PM with the particulars if that's the case and I'll send it to ya. It's not like I've had a chance to get attached yet...

I pocket carry an Izula on a Raven pocket contraption. The Candiru would be better if you want something smaller. Good quality and US made.

If you want something more Japanese looking, CRKT has veen importing some Lucas Burnley designs from China. Theyre good looking knives.

Boker has several knives also that may work for you.

I was going to mention the same idea. I've been experimenting carrying an Obake the last few months and I'm pretty impressed.

They appear to have 'em... (https://www.smkw.com/esee-knives-izula-p-izula-1095-carbon-steel-pink-epoxy-coated-drop-point-plain-blade-white-sheath)

As does amazon... (https://www.amazon.com/ESEE-Izula-Knife-with-Sheath/dp/B003Y7TJQM?th=1)

This is my one of my few remaining Japanese inspired knives. It was my very first master smith blade. Made for me by Wally Hayes up in Canada.

He sent a kydex neck sheath but it's just on the verge of being a bit too much for neck carry. That said, it's a fantastic piece.

If memory serves it was forged from O1 and mild steel.

I bought this as a little summer knife. I like it but it doesn't really do anything that the other knifes mentioned won't do

[octagon]

Maybe I am looking for a Japanese inspired knife just a bit shorter and wider than the CRKT. Almost all the suggestions I have which is a good sign I guess.

Or maybe I just need better sheaths for them.

A sheath, or lack of, can make or break a knife for defensive purposes.

+1 on the Obake - excellent sheath/cord design makes it extremely flexible for defensive carry.

[octagon]

I like the Achi for the grip and size. I'll have to check it out.

I keep a SOG mini instinct in my laptop bag. Its tiny.

I have an Obake and like it quite well.

I recently picked up the CRKT Pangolin. It has a short but stout blade. The sheath is great and comes with an easy open tek-lok style belt clip. It might be a bit too bulky for what OP is looking for, but I've really liked it.

That is pretty close to what I am looking for. Short and stout. I like the jimping and the finger guard shape with decent looking scales that may be able to be removed and replaced with 550 cord or Obake style wrap. The tek lok clip seems removable with the remaining sheath fairly thin.

I didn't want to oversell it, but it really is an awesome fixed blade for the price. It has quickly become one of my favorite knives. The factory edge has been great so far, the blade has a large belly, and it has a really gritty powder coating. The handle scales are good, though it would be nice if they were removable, just for that option of wrapping with paracord or whatever. The finger guard is a nice plus as well.

The pink Izula got a new shoelace...but no new shoes...

How do you like the handle shape?
