I'm looking for all kinds of input from the knowledgeable knife folks here regarding their EDC knife preferences: small fixed blade or folder.
I'm currently undecided what my preferred carry knife should be. I have way more experience carrying various types of folders. But both from a utility and defensive aspect, a fixed blade makes more sense: locking mechanism can't ever fail on a fixed blade and it is faster to draw. I'm still struggling with the concept of frequent drawing/resheathing when using the fixed blade as a utility blade. Comfort is also an issue, a folder in my pocket gets in the way less than a small fixed blade carried IWB, at least in my IWB carry experience so far.
Specific example: carrying a Spyderco Manix 2 or a Bawidamann Muninn?
I'd be happy to hear all your experiences/inputs or any suitable advice.
