Sadly I don't really own any except for swords... and one old fishing knife. Those are out of the question.
Thinking about trying an Enuff one day, as a start. I could see it being useful in the woods. I used to own several fixed blade knives but never carried them except maybe while doing yardwork...

I’ve been carrying my Junction every day on my belt since I got it, even at work, and on weekends. I think it’s been over a month or two since I got it, I honestly don’t have the best memory anymore though. I haven’t had a complaint from a customer yet, and my boss hasn’t said anything so I don’t think he minds. It’s not like I’m carrying a machete or sword on my belt. And I always have a folder in back left pocket.

I carry a custom neck knife at least part of the day, virtually every day.

For my usage outside of the kitchen it is pointless to carry a fixed blade knife. Spyderco Folders are tougher than anything I will ever put them through. I do own a TRC fixed blade in Elmax Steel 4.5 inches and if I ever need a fixed blade that will be the one I take with me.

Rarely, only when camping / hiking / boating etc. Looks like this is the case for most. Probably why the fixed blade mule program isnt as popular as it could be. Would love if the mules were in the inexpensive Native LW or Manix LW form so I could carry and use them in every day life.

Pretty much every day. I work where I'm probably 50-60% in an office and the rest of the time outside in the backcountry. I love a small (3" - 3.5") fixed blade carried appendix style owb horizontal. I have several I'll carry this way, but my most recent is a mule team 5 in 9Cr18Mo that I finally just put together 9 years after I bought it...crazy how time flies! :D

So far so good. the 9Cr18Mo isn't like any of the super steels that came out for the mule, but it takes an edge and it's easy to sharpen. I can't really complain.
