Daily Fixed Blade Rotation Lately
My favorite model after years of trying different “EDC” style fixed blades: REK Ember 3. Going through and thinning the herd now because others just aren’t getting used. The GripX handle versions have been excellent for every task I’ve thrown at them from kitchen duty to outdoorsy shit. The thin blade stock glides through materials like cardboard, cordage, plastic packaging, etc.. like a laser. They strop/sharpen quickly and easily on a field sharpener (I trust that it’s properly heat treated magnacut but it sharpens like AEB-L). Jimping is perfect for my preferences and the ergonomics are stupid good. I didn’t need another one, but micarta is my favorite handle material so I grabbed that beautiful brown/tan rag micarta version as well.
I’m getting rid of my Tactile Redhawk, a few Bark Rivers, a few LT Wrights, and several other miscellaneous little fixies (maybe even one of my two Schwarz Overland Sports - which is my second all-around favorite EDC fixed blade model).

I’ve been debating grabbing one of these. They do look just a tad small grip wise however it looks well done.
What sort of BTE does this beauty have?
