I'm in the market for a small fixed blade knife that I can clip to my waistband and easily conceal for those times when I can't carry my gun. Here are my criteria:
1. 3-4" blade. No longer, no shorter.
2. Easy to instantly remove from the sheath. It will be for self defense, so speed is essential.
3. Strudy, well balanced blade.
4. No double-edged boot knives. They are illegal to carry in Texas.
5. Simple design. I don't need finger holes, etc.
I've been looking at the small CRKT first strike and the Ontario RAT 3 online. I won't buy it until I can go to the store and see how it feels.
This is a little out of my area of expertise, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
