Fixed vs folder is a common discussion among tactical guys (the real kind, not mall ninjas) at beer call after work/training. Opinions vary, and the science is definitely not settled!
Now, I'm not particularly concerned what you carry for mundane tasks like opening packages, trimming wires, cutting off a piece of sausage, etc... y'know, the stuff we all do with our EDC blades. For that, there's not a lot of argument either way other than your personal comfort and preference. But for serious applications, most guys prefer fixed blades.
The gist of it breaks down like this: if you get into deep enough fecal material to be resorting to a knife for fighting, you are in a real bad world of fecal material. Under those circumstances, the less thinking you have to do about it the more likely you are to survive. Note that I do not use the word "win". So in those circumstance, having to open a folding knife with one hand that might already be injured or bloody may be a non-starter. So most tactical guys I know carry a fixed blade, and often more than one.
Solid!

I just use a tactical pencil. I can carry it on a plane. Knives are so overrated if you know how to use a pencil.

YMMV Stuck a pencil in the arm of a big, fat third grader who had me by the neck demanding my lunch money when I was in first grade. It worked.

The guy in the video is a dirt bag....Got busted for bank fraud when he owned Black Jack knives and has ripped off knife makers/designers over contract violations numerous times.

Aside from a few nice folders I have carried regularly, I keep coming back to the Camillus Cuda Talon in either Talonite or 154CM (plain or serrated) for a front packet EDC carry. Comes clean of the sheath with a thumb push. Great size and handling. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/qFHoo2V.jpg)

Fixed blade as an EDC is a novelty.
Even on a duty belt. Way more trouble than they're worth.

Knowing nothing about fixed blade knives except having 2 3.5 inch blade deer cleaning knives what is up with the TDI and is half moon looking shape? I guess I am ignorant in the area of self defense with a knife and wonder how the TDI knife shape facilitates this activity?
