I know some of you actually carry fixed blades as EDCs. I only strap on a fixed blade if I am engaged in some outdoor activity that will likely require a heavy duty knife. If I am spending the day on my property working it might be a bowie, machete, or Dog Father. For a little walk in the woods, a HRLM, S6, RMD, or SS4 will do. The RatManDu is my new favorite. In town and such, I carry a folder. I guess that the RMD's a micarta version of the Mutt, though. I can see how the DM would be a good choice if you wanted to conceal it. If I carry a concealed fixed blade, its going to be a dagger or bowie.
