There is a lot of talk at the Swamp about a folding Bussekin. Personally, I've stopped using folding knives (with the exception of one very old broken down Wenger SAK that just ends up in my pocket due to habit).
I EDC a Swamp Warden when I'm in professional office attire and add a SY Urban Mutt or SR RMD when I'm in street clothes.
Do any of you dogs EDC a fixed blade? Would you EDC a Bussekin folder over a Bussekin fixed blade if it were available?
I just can't understand the interest in a folder, and wanted to see if I'm in the minority.

I don't, but I wish I did... just doesn't seem practical. But when a SHTF scenario happens I will for sure, a big one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I EDC more than one fixed blade... (what can I say I'm a Knife Nut... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />)
I would "NEVER" EDC any folder over a fixed blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I do EDC folders too, and they both have their place, but any folder with moving parts has it's weaknesses, compared a well made fixed blade. That's just an indisputable Fact, IMHO! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Rainwalker,
+1 (I too EDC more than one fixed blade....minimum of one on body and one or two off body. Often two on body and an additional off body).
+1 (I would never choose a folder over fixed)

I have to admit that I'd love a Busse folder though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
It just wouldn't replace my fixed blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Gary - I totally agree with you and Jeff. Right now, I have a DSSF on my belt and a C.S. X2 Voyager in my pocket. If I want to go unnoticed in town I just slip a SwampWarden and sheath in my pocket. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Tom - that sound similar to my load out. I'm heading into town to pick up my wife from work, and then we're taking her brother to dinner for his birthday.
My carry gear:
Belt = Glock 19 with night sights, (2) reloads, tac flashlight, SR RMD Trouser Pockets = Wenger Highlander SAK, SR Swamp Warden, Swedish Firesteel Get Home Bag = More ammo, Dogfather, etc.
Its only paranoia if you don't ever need it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> .

For fixed I EDC: Benchmade Activator 211 or Esee Izula
For Folder : Benchmade Mini Griptilian or Spyderco Delica
I have a Swamp Warden, but I need scales on my fixed blade!
If Dan makes a Scrap Warden or Eric sells a Rat Hunter I am in!
