The ideal everyday fixed blade, designed by Taylor Martin of Best Damn EDC.

Written by Taylor Martin

After starting to carry a daily fixed blade, I eventually realized there wasn't one that quite checked all the boxes for me. There are several mainstays, for sure. But I wanted one very specific that I could never find. Enter the Redhawk. Coming in at just under 7" overall, the Redhawk is a solid medium-sized knife – incorporating an overall curve which helps driving the blade into cuts. It also has a reverse tanto or modified sheepsfoot blade with a small amount of belly, tall blade profile, and 0.12" blade thickness which gives it, in my opinion, one of the most well-rounded blade styles for everyday use.

The acute tip and thin, slicey blade are nice for fine work and puncturing while the handles feature a scalloped area towards the blade for a great pinch grip. It's really comfortable to use and, one of my favorite things I've mentioned about EDC fixed blades for a long time now, it has a full-sized handle with slightly undersized blade. Chef's kiss.

The Kydex sheath option is the most versatile option allowing near endless carry possibilities and fitment of many different clips and belt loops. The Leather Sheath option made by Chattanooga Leatherworks offers a more traditional look and is best suited to inside the pocket/waistband carry.
