that’s a wrap!
If you are going to carry a fixed blade for EDC, there are two ways to do it. One way is bold and proud, the knife equivalent to open carry. The second way is low key—keep it handy but don’t let it stand out.
A style I find convenient for low-profile fixed-blade carry is a smallish straight knife with a cord-wrapped handle. A cord-wrapped knife is a trim carry yet not hard on the hands like a plane skeletonized frame.
In the case of its Utsidihi and unlike most knife outfits, CRKT doesn’t use paracord to wrap the handle. Instead, the company enveloped the handle in a flat cord very much like a Japanese traditional wrap.
