Benchmade Wants Your Next EDC Knife to Be a Fixed Blade

Now, why wouldn’t you want a knife like this one? Well, if you are like this writer and reside n an urban area such as New York City, it might be more trouble than it’s worth. While it is technically legal to carry a four-inch fixed blade here, the look alone might invite unnecessary hassling from cops. 

However, if you’re in the suburbs or a rural region, that’s likely not a concern, and the upsides are notable. In addition to being gorgeous, the Dacian is relatively easy to unsheath, and the lack of a hinge eliminates a failure point, bolstering its durability. 

In general you’ll get more stability from a fixed blade, making this knife a more than suitable option for light outdoor work. Heck, we might even trust it more than Benchmade’s PSK (personal survival knife) when it comes to heavier duty tasks, like batoning.

Although if you are doing that on an everyday basis, you probably don’t need us to tell you what knife to pack.
