I have never carried a fixed blade myself. Currently, I wear a Benchmade Presidio Auto in the left pant pocket, multi-tool on the belt, and another multi-tool in my second line.

I would think a fix-blade somewhere in the range of the PS knife would be a nice lightweight option. But of course, if the PL is whipping out a fixed blade to go to work, things have gone very, very wrong a long time ago...
Yes there is a lot of progress on the project. It's the LHR being manufactured by Gerber in Portland. The knife was shown at AUSA and will be at SHOT Show.

Here is a simple advantage of a slightly longer blade in the form of a question:
if say one has a three inch long blade and a six inch long blade made of the same steel, heat treat and edge geometry, without re-sharpening and being used for the same jobs, which knifes edge will last longer?
