Ifj, if you want to EDC a fixed blade in the 5 inch blade length, Consider the Wardog. If it is for DEFENSE, be sure and check out the Busse WarDog HACK. It's got a deep hollow ground blade and is LIGHT! Of course being a Busse it will also do anything else you want, but personally I just like the Scarpyard Wardog for an every day outdoors blade and plan on keeping my HACK for defensive carry if I want to.
