This years Bear Quest was interesting as I took up about 10 different style fixed blades to see what guys liked.  I surprised myself in that the one knife that I thought wouldn't be that good was perfect...much longer than I'd used in the past.  Doc

If I'm in the woods I have a fixed blade on my belt and another in my pack.  At work I have a folder in my pocket.  

Yesterday my wife accused me of being "obsesive" about my knives!  Can you imagine that?!  :D

when not using my folding hunter in the field, I have a case trapper in my pocket

Jeremy,

Obsessive????? YOU????? Go Figure.....LOL

Very interesting poll results.....approx 75% fixed 25% folder, right from the start,and all through the poll.

I guess most consider fixed blades "hunting knives" and folders "working" knives.

Yeah Chuck, I know it's hard to believe, but I have a small "thing" with knives!      :D  
I told my wife I hid the good kitchen and steak knives from her (put 'em on a high shelf!    ) and she started calling me names.  Stonewear plates are essentially a sharpening stone and shouldn't be used as a cutting board!

I'd wear a belt knife to work too, but folks 'round here would look at me funny... well, funnier

Jeremy, I think me and your missus need to have a persuasive conversation  
I was the same way 'till found myself being woo-ed to my hubby's knife collection....watch it, you may find the same thing with her someday, then your in trouble like Frank    

I love the fixed blades for all purpose use  (very partial to one in particular) and like
my compact folder for use at work.

Here are a couple of my favorites, the big one is a Danny Brown custom bowie with a chubby little 4" handle and for a big knife it carries very well, and the other is a case trapper which I now carry everywhere.
