The pocket clip is similar to ones found on folding knives, so it is probably the easiest fixed blade to transition to carrying. Retrieving the knife is made easy with the exposed ring at the rear of the tang, which provides karambit-like retention. This is not just great for self-defense, although that is the intended purpose, it also keeps the blade in hand when working on common tasks, as was the original design of the karambit. If the knife drops or slips, it is caught by the pinkie finger.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Mobile and Tablet--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/contest.html?cid=contest?utm_source=CTD_Blog_AD&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_range_day_friday_mobile&amp;utm_content=square\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rdf_june23_ad_mobile.jpg?w=640&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rdf_june23_ad_mobile.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/benchmade-knife-scop-dagger-3.22-plain-double-edge-spear-point-black-dip-coated-440c-stainless-steel-blade-skeletonized-handle-black-kydex-sheath-sand-with-pocket-clip-176bksn\/FC-610953138813.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=best-pocket-fixed-blades-for-everday-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Benchmade SOCP<\/a> features a 3.22-inch double-edged spear point blade.

The thermoplastic rubber handle keeps your hand from slipping, even in wet conditions, and the neon green color will help you locate your knife if it is dropped in the woods or set down somewhere. The full skeletonized tang keeps the knife lightweight and durable.

Further, the Street Beat has the best sheath of the bunch, it flicks off easily with your thumb and lays fairly flat in the pocket.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Spyderco Street Beat LW\" class=\"wp-image-88712 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Spyderco Street Beat LW\" class=\"wp-image-88712\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Spyderco-Street-Beat-LW.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Spyderco Street Beat Lightweight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Bonus: WOOX Rock 62<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/woox-rock-62-fixed-blade-4.25-plain-edge-drop-point-stonewash-sleipner-steel-blade-micarta-handle-with-sheath\/FC-696550223206.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=best-pocket-fixed-blades-for-everday-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WOOX Rock 62<\/a> is the largest knife on this list and is just a little longer than my preferred max overall length of 9 inches (at 9.5\u201d OAL), but it makes the list because it\u2019s such a nice design. The 4.25-inch blade is constructed out of Sleipner steel and has an HRC between 60-62. The drop point shape works well with general cutting tasks. The handle scales are a nice looking micarta that only gets better with age and use. If you can take the size, this would be a great do-it-all blade to toss in the pocket, whether working around the house or going on a camping trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The one downside is that the Rock 62 does not come with a sheath. WOOX offers a nice leather belt option, but for pocket carry I\u2019d recommend something aftermarket or custom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"WOOX Rock 62\" class=\"wp-image-88711 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"WOOX Rock 62\" class=\"wp-image-88711\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WOOX-Rock-62.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>WOOX Rock 62<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>A good fixed-blade knife is an invaluable tool to have on hand.
