[TMM]

Hey all, i was just curious as to how many EDC knives you carry, and what purpose they all serve.

i currently pack my benchmade 550(i think it's 550[3.4" blade, drop point, stainless finish]) only- it's an all purpose knife, but i may start packing my CRKT 2.75" Point Guard along with the Benchmade so as not to scare the sheeple.

~TMM

[XLMiguel]

I usually have one in my strong-side pocket (Camillus Cuda EDC/BM AFCK/CRKT M-16/13), and two in my 'man purse' (CRKT Mirage, Leaterman). I consider (& use) them primarily as tools, but with PD capability.

[Smoke]

I have one that opens boxes, envelopes, cuts stuff, prys stuff, sees duty as make shift screwdriver and cleans my fingernails.

I have another I save for flesh.

Smoke

[Lee Lapin]

Two- Spyderco Dragonfly for everyday use and a Benchmade Mini-AFCK for non- ordinary uses. Three if you count the blade in the Leatherman Micra that is...

lpl/nc

[Soap]

Normally 2. Benchmade 42 in the right front, Emerson LaGriffe in the left front.

[1911JMB]

I carry a Leatherman wave, a cheap, tiny chinese folder that my grandma gave me before she died, and either my 6" manual godfather or my A-F dagger.

[JohnKSa]

Spyderco Worker does most cutting.

Cold Steel XL Voyager Tanto is for emergencies. ;)

SOG Paratool is for really nasty/tough jobs. I can replace the blades if I break one or otherwise really mess it up.

Small Swiss Army knife carried mostly for the scissors, but the blade is handy for small stuff that requires EXTREME sharpness.

I also carry a little Swisstech UtiliKey with a knife blade. Don't use that blade for anything, I carry it for the small philips head screwdriver that's built into it.

[RoyG]

Usually a CRKT in my back pocket. A Gerber multitool on my belt. And, a Schrade 3 blade mini stockman I've had since I was 15 or so(30 plus years).

[Camjr]

Benchmade 10300 Monochrome serrated IWB at 3:00 and Case Russlock in strong side pocket. Also, Buck 110 or some other large lockblade I've collected through the years in each drivers' side map pocket in my vehicles, and Leatherman Micra on keychain. Oh yeah, Victorinox Tinker in briefcase unless I'm travelling thru airports.

[Third_Rail]

Three. Kershaw 2.5" flipper folder, Gerber moneyclip, and a 4.5" Schrade lockback.

[Rupestris]

2 -
Benchmade Mini Griptillian and a Leatherman Squirt P4.

When hunting or camping it's 3. The two above mentioned and a Bark River K&T Woodsman or a Becker BK7.

[Valkman]

I carry a Swiss Army knife and a Emerson CQC-8 or Commander, both waved. The SAK is in my left front pocket (below the holster with the spare mag and Surefire), the Emerson on the right, below the Kimber. :rolleyes:

[Fumbler]

I usually have 2 or 3.

Always with me are a Microtech LCC clipped on my right pocket and a Victorinox Super Tinker in my left front pocket. The SAK gets most of the use. I used to only carry the LCC and it got all the use, but it doesn't do much now except for riding around waiting for a time it is needed (PD or when the SAK is dull).

Usually I have a small Victorinox classic on my keys, but often it gets taken off for nail trimming and left in the house :uhoh:

[444]

Normally, two.
I carry a Spyderco as a money clip and then my primary knife which changes with my mood.
At work I carry those two plus a Leatherman tool which has knife in it.

2-3

[Sunray]

"...EDC knives..." A what? One old, Swiss Army knife. It's a tool. If you get into a situation where a knife is your only defense, you've done something far worse than you have if a handgun is your only defense.

[zahc]

EDC = every day carry

Usually two. A plain edge delica IWB @10 o'clock, and an Endura Wave clipped in the right front pocket.

[joab]

Shrade all purpose bag opener in my front pocket, leatherman on the belt and fixed blade sharp finger in the cab of the truck.

Recently due to a dog attack when my hands were full I've started carrying a knockoff switchblade clipped to my right front pocket.
Next gun show I'll be looking into buying one a little better made

[TrapperReady]

I voted for (1). However, if you include my truck, then it's a little more involved. For normal stuf, I've always got either a Mini-Grip or a Mini-AFCK.

However, in the truck, I've got:

Center console -

Buck Model 110
Leatherman Charge XTi

Behind Rear Seats in small hunting backpack -

Leatherman - One of the original knuckle-cutter types
Randall Model 3

I've also normally got a HI WWII Khukri in the back, which is used for clearing shooting lanes on our hunting lease and splitting firewood when camping.

[R.H. Lee]

I just lost my EDC. It was a buck half serrated, but it had a liner lock. It's the one I cut the end of my thumb off with about 3 years ago. I'll miss it.

[el44vaquero]

I got one of those Buck Rushs when they first came out.

[JohnKSa]

It's the one I cut the end of my thumb off with about 3 years ago. I'll miss it.The knife or the end of your thumb? ;)

[asteffes]

Kershaw Ken Onion Boa that I bought from a friend for $80 and just had professionally sharpened this weekend for another $8.50. I enjoy it immensely.

[joab]

It's the one I cut the end of my thumb off with about 3 years ago. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that rates a knife by how well it removes body parts.

I bought a cheap Tomahawk brand "tactical" knife a few years ago for a all purpose truck tool.
While I was goofing around with it I slipped and cut the tip of my bird finger off, I never really even felt it.
Since then I have always liked the knife for being razor sharp and holding it's edge relatively well

[45lvr]

always carry a tac folder on duty. for "cutting seat belts". ive always carried some kind of pocket knife, theyre just handy to have.

[R.H. Lee]

It's the one I cut the end of my thumb off with about 3 years ago. I'll miss it.

The knife or the end of your thumb?
heh. The end of my thumb grew back, more or less, but it took a loooonnng time. I was in a hurry putting up Christmas decorations one year, SWMBO was quacking at me about something, and I closed the knife (liner lock) quickly and forcefully. After a couple of hours it wouldn't stop bleeding, so she took me to the ER.

We were scheduled to go to Las Vegas the next day. I looked goofy walking around playing slots with a cup of quarters in one hand, and my gauze wrapped thumb sticking up from the other hand.

Considering the Benchmade half-serrated tanto point (don't know the model no.) with the axis lock to replace it.

[KriegHund]

A medium sized swiss army knife (really glad i got that thing!) and a knock off of a leatherman.
Swiss goes in right pocket on keychain, leathreman goes in left with wallet.

[Mongo the Mutterer]

Love knives, probably more than guns!!

SOG Flash II half serrated. Best knife I have ever had, and it sounds cool as hell when it snicks open.

Other is a Leatherman micra. Small blade that I seldom use, and therefore keep razor sharp.

I've seen a lot of knives, and owned a lot ... CRKT Gerber, etc. No benchmade yet but I get what I want from SOG.

Fiance carries a Flash I and a knuckle knife from SOG. :evil:

[Schuey2002]

I usually have two knives on me.

I have a Victorinox Recruit on my keychain, and an OD green BM 551 in my left front pocket.

In the glove compartment of my Taco is a Victorinox Ranger. If you should happen to look under the passenger seat, you would find a SOG Navy Seal 2000 (which is probably duller than a butter knife, :uhoh: ) and a small John Greco hatchet.

[TwoGun]

I generally carry two. One is a Blackie Collins designed Merko and the other is a small Gerber lock blade that handles opening letters, boxes and cleaning finger nails.

The big knife doesn't scare anybody where I live beause just about everybody has one. Heck even my daughter a fair sized knife when she is not in school. It comes from working on a ranch. She's nearly as lost as I am when she doesn't have it.

[Soap]

We were scheduled to go to Las Vegas the next day. I looked goofy walking around playing slots with a cup of quarters in one hand, and my gauze wrapped thumb sticking up from the other hand.

I'm sure everyone thought you were a victim of organized crime. :p

[GunnySkox]

Three, if you want to get technical about it.

I have a tiny crapper multitool that I got at Sears for eight bucks

And a larger leatherman knockoff (Winchester, actually) with two moderately sized blades on it.

~Slam_Fire

[Jalexander]

Three, if you count the Leatherman Clipit. I also carry a Benchmade 710 and a Moore Maker moose pattern slipjoint. The Benchmade is sharp, and the slipjoint is real sharp. I mostly use the knife blade on the Leatherman for stripping wire and cleaning battery terminals.

James

[secamp32]

A Spiderco Delica and a SAK. I just upgraded to a new SAK with a one handed opener. The blade and the screwdriver lock. No more screwdriver closing on my finger :D

[Ringer]

1 for GP.

[Jeff]

I carry either my Victorinox Huntsman (all around best SAK, IMO) or my Spyderco carbon fiber serrated Police.

[english kanigit]

Normally, I carry two.

For general cutting, its my old swiss army scout.
http://www.swissknifeshop.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/55871D_Sentry_BS.gif

For bigger things, its my Columbia River M16-14SF.
http://members.aol.com/redfeather88/apacheknife/Bigdog8.jpg


I've also got the OD handle M16 w/ 1* symbol but I sent it to Kuwait with my dad. :o


Both are very good blades. I would give you pics of mine, but the camera's in Kuwait too. :(

[Ol' Badger]

SAK that I got for my tenth B-Day from my Bro.
Useful for opening up boxes, apples, letters and whittleing tooth picks. I also rub the cross for good luck.


Spyderco Delice (Blue ATS-55).
Useful for opening up Deer (14 to-date) and People (None so far).

[newfalguy101]

Just one.

A Schrade Old Timer triple blade jackknife

holds an edge well and for the crap I use it for its just the ticket.

[CajunBass]

Let's see, I've got a Swiss Army knife in my pocket. I don't know the model, it's about the size of a Boy Scout knife. Two blades, screwdriver, bottle opener. I like the toothpick best of all really. I've got another bigger SAK in my "book-bag" that has some extra useless goodies with it. I almost never use it for anything.

I've got a leatherman tool on my belt that has a knife blade, and in the center consol of my Kia, I've got a Bucklite folder that's got a 3? 3 1/2" blade I guess. I don't really remember. Had it for years.

My only belt knife is one I had a fellow named Ben Shelor make for me years ago. I paid more for it then than I did for most of the guns I've ever owned. It's a good knife, but I hardly ever carry it anymore. I'll have to take a picture of it one of these days.

[JJE]

I usually have just one on my person, either a "waved" Spyderco Gunting in a custom sheath or a jacket pocket, a Jeff Hall Arch Ally or a Shivworks Clinch Pick, depending on where I'm going and what I'm wearing. If I'm travelling out of state I switch to a Spyderco Native because it's more replaceable than my other knives and probably legal in most places.

I also keep an SAK in each of my backpacks, briefcases, messenger bags and at my desk at work, so that I always have a small utility folder available.

[Boats]

I always have at least two:

Bigger folding knife is always a BM 806D2 Axis AFCK when on dry land. Near the beach or on the water, a Spyderco Pacific Salt takes its place.

One of the above is always coupled with a SAK Tinkerer or a LM Juice S4, which actually handle every cutting task except cardboard, rope, or self defense.

[Felonious Monk]

3
Little Victorinox Swiss that sees the most day to day work.
Kershaw Blur that never gets used and hopefully never will.
Little Leatherman P4 on the keychain.

[PUMC_TomG]

I just got geared up for work... and right now I've got:
S&W Rescue Knife w/window punch.
Benchmade Mini AFCK w/ Tanto blade and thumbhole.
Benchmade Leopard
Spyderco Spyderench.

The Emerson Commander is currently out of service for reasons I will wait to discuss until a later time.

[middy]

3

Victorinox Tinker for most things.

Gerber keychain thing... kind of like a crappy version of the Victorinox Classic, except it has a folding fingernail clipper. Used for manicure and scissors.

Large drop-point Cold Steel Trail Guide for social work and big cutting jobs; nothing like a big hunk of razor-sharp Carbon V. :D

[Cosmoline]

I keep a Pukko handy in case the Rooskies invade Alaska

http://www.mastersworkmedia.com/images/fireandice/album2/12.jpg

[redneck]

Always have a folder and a gerber multi tool on me. Most of the time at work its a benchmade 806D2, great slicer, sharpens easily, and its a nice and slim carry peice. I also figure other than being kind of expensive its not too hard to replace.
When I'm not working I'll switch out the benchmade for one of my homemade folders. The last one is actually built heavier than the benchmade, but I don't want to scratch it up too bad or take a chance on it not coming back in one peice when somebody wants to borrow a knife.
Sometimes I carry more than one folder, and more and more now I carry a fixed blade.Especially for work in the winter since I'm usually wearing carharts and have more places to carry it than on my belt.

Anyone else have trouble picking which knife when they get up in the morning? :D
http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27818

[Moto]

2 I never go anywhere without my Kershaw Blur half serrated. It is the best knife I have ever owned, I really like the assisted opening, and the Trac Tech handle. I also usually have my victorinox Camp Flame. There is nothing like having a knife with a mini butane torch built into it for lighting cigars

[SUPERMAN .45]

My carry knife is S & W neck knife and S & W folder.SOG powerlock as back up. :)

[fjolnirsson]

Hmm, let's see.
Cold Steel Vaquero Grande in the right pocket, Cold Steel Pro Lite in the left pocket. Leatherman on my belt, and a small Cold Steel folder with a 0ne inch blade on my key chain. And a Cold Steel fixed blade(can't remember the model name) with a 1.5" blade in my pocket next to my wallet. So, 4. And maybe one or two more if I have on a jacket, depending on what I have in the pockets.

[cratz2]

Always carry either a Spyderco Solo or a Camillus Cuda EDC. Sometimes I also carry a CRKT PECK (the itty bitty one).

[CT Yankee]

Kershaw Leek with the rainbow titanium oxide finish for me. Its all I need at the moment.

[lee n. field]

Gerber tool. Buck Juno or Uncle Henry lockback in the back pocket. SAK in the back pack.

[aaronrkelly]

I either EDC my Benchmade 530 Pardue (most common)

http://www.jtknives.com/images/BM-530.jpg



or my Benchmade 525 Mini-Presidio

http://www.gpknives.com/images/benchmade/BM525%5Bmedium%5D.jpg


or somtime I slum it with my Red Class BM 10300 Monochrome

http://www.knife-depot.com/images/product/4_10428.jpg

[Thin Black Line]

One US-Made Gerber fixed blade (can't remember the model) in a spec-ops
sheath on my interceptor body armor and one Benchmade 9100 Automatic
clipped in my pocket.

[9teen11]

I usually carry 2, sometimes three.

[tomarlowe]

My EDC is a Spyderco Delica non serrated clipped to my left side pocket. Depending on my mood I either carry one of the original Benchmade AFCK's or a newer Spyderco Military. I always have a swiss tool on my belt.

[Skofnung]

Spyderco Endura in the right hand pocket, and a Victorinox Tinker in the left.

I don't go anywhere without the SAK.

[Dr.Rob]

EDC: Swiss Army 'Hunter".

While hunting? Three knives and a saw. Swiss Army Hunter, a Cold Steel Tanto, and a Wyoming Knife (and likely a spare blade)

[fistful]

I won't bore you all with details about exactly where I carry, but:

I usually carry a large lockback or a fixed-blade (four-inch drop-point). Lately, though, I've also been carrying the latest in tactical super-knives, the Case Scout Knife.

[Greymoor]

Usually I carry two . . .

A right pocket knife clipped to my pocket. Today a Benchmade 942 . . .

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=28933

And a left pocket knife usually in the pocket. Today a Henckels whittler in blue . . .

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=28934

Each has their assigned duties :)

[VARifleman]

Normally two, but when I moved in down here, I had 5 on me (as it was easier to carry them in my pockets).

[TimboKhan]

I generally carry only one knife, and that is a Kershaw Vapor, which is of course a Ken Onion knife. I friggin' love this knife! It was 29.95 at wally-world, and I have carried it for probably around 2 years or so now. It does not have assisted opening like some of the other Kershaws, but I can get it open plenty fast without it. I am pretty picky about what knives I will buy and/or carry, and I gotta say over the last few years, Kershaw has really impressed me with thier products and thier prices. In order, since 1990 when I started carrying a knife, I have carried 1 Buck knife, which I ditched in favor of a Spyderco because it had a pocketclip. I then went through about 7 or 8 Spydercos, not because they are bad but because that many either got lost or stolen (I was in the USMC at the time). Then I went back to Buck, and carried the same Buck knife for probably 4 years before it entered never-never land. Moved to CRKT, and while I like and still own the knife, I have found that I am not that big a fan of the tanto tip for everyday use. Bought a small Gerber, which I still carry on occasion, actually, and then this Kershaw. Those are jus pocketknives. In the Field I carry a Buck that I have had since I was a kid, and in the Marines I carried a Kabar and an excellent little Gerber bootknife that I found one day. Gave that one away when I left the USMC, and still sort of regret it.

[8040Cougar]

"A Schrade Old Timer triple blade jackknife

holds an edge well and for the crap I use it for its just the ticket."
Same here, an Old Timer medium stockman and a Beretta Cheetah:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-6/1193507/BE-75561.jpg I really like the Cheetah for the way it opens. Its lightning fast but wont snap shut on yer fingers unless you make it. No springs, torsion bar, etc.:)

[Boom-stick]

Every day it's a UK. Spyderco in front right pocket, sometimes a CRKT on my keychain and other days it a Leatherman Wave on the belt:)

[Matt_W]

Cold Steel Gunsite II or Cold Steel Ti Lite on work days with a Swiss Army knife for the scissors.

[Gun_nut]

i somtimes carry my Ka-Bar but its awfully big so i usally carry my CRKT knife

[WayneConrad]

I get along well with my
RSK Mk1 (http://equipped.org/rsk_mk1.htm). It's a Benchmade Griptilian with S30V steel, basically.

http://equipped.org/GRAPHICS/rsk_mk1_red_03-300w.jpg

[bubbygator]

Paragon switchblade with ATS-34 steel in pocket, Becker Utility in car.

[modifiedbrowning]

Three. Spyderco Endura or Delica in left pocket, Gerber Ridge on keyring and a rotating assortment in the right pocket. Lately that has been a CRKT My Tighe, but I carry a Kershaw Leek quite a bit as well.

[Pax Jordana]

Always at least one. My current fave EDC is an Old Timer -- XTimer (http://cgi.ebay.com/Schrade-Lockback-X-Timer-Knife-7OTX_W0QQitemZ190000751305QQihZ009QQcategoryZ20271QQcmdZViewItem). The finish is crap, flakes right off when you sharpen it, but the edge holding is just fine and this thing is FLAT so it doesn't ever really leave my pocket.

Sometimes in the scrubs I have that gerber one that's really small and doubles (they say) as a money clip.. just for the total no-profile ride. More useful than you'd think in a care situation.. you'd be surprised at how many people can't tie a gown right (please, please, just tie it like you would your shoelaces..)

For hunting it's a fixed blade. If I'm going somewhere that the knife is all I can hide (NYC public transportation, in the past) the 6'' Ti-Lite comes along. It's certainly big and sharp enough for the job, but nothing else can really be accessed while it's in your pocket.



And when a knife is all you can hide, pair it with your tactical running shoes :)

[Clipper]

...In Michigan. The law here is a manually folding, under 3.5" blade. You can carry a fixed blade when hunting. So, for the last 40 years I've carried my faithful Case Single-blade jack in my weak-side pocket. For hunting I have a sawback dive knife in a push-button locking hard sheath in fluorescent pink (!) so I can't lose it...Or a Case Small Game knife.

[Haymaker]

Usually only carry 2 = Today it happens to be Four:D
SAK Parachutists model (Sidelock)
Gerber Applegate-Fairburn
Gerber Money clip+ penknife
another Gerber this one a nailclip+penknife:D

[usmccpl]

normally 5 when i im in a combat zone its 7 or 8 always my gerber multi tool spyderco gunting spyderco police buck 119 and sog mini pentagon in combat i trade the buck for a kabar an a-f fighter an a-f boot knife and a crkt m16 well then i also add the bayonet and at times there is two kerambit on my gear too

[Freddymac]

The same one that I have carried for the last 10 years... My Bench Made CQC7. It has served me well for any task that a knife can be used for. Tough, reliable, easy to use... in my humble opinion, its the best folding knife ever made... but as I said, that's just MY opinion.

[blinkin357]

I carry seven knives:

Two Kershaw 1670TBLKST assisted-opening knives clipped to both back pockets
One Cold Steel Grand Vaquero serrated 6" folding knife clipped to right front pocket.
One Leatherman Wave in my left front pocket.
One Swiss Army Tinkerer in my right front pocket on my keychain.
Two Spidercards, one in my wallet and one in my briefcase.

[Dirty Bob]

Small, fixed blade skinner in Kydex sheath attached to my keys. This was made from a blade from Jantz Supply and is very thin and light.
SwissTech UTILI-KEY on my keys. Most-used tool is the bottle opener. :)
Victorinox "nerd tool" - I can't remember the model name, but it has a USB drive, scissors, small blade, pen, light, tweezers and toothpick
Leatherman Tool -- the original model -- in my backpack

I occasionally carry one or more of the following when out and about:

KA-BAR TDI
Fixed blade made from a Japanese deba bocho knife. The wide, 3/16" thick blade is 5.25" long. It looks like a small, chunky chef's knife. I carry it IWB with a homemade Kydex sheath.
Victorinox Recruit
I try to avoid falling into deep water. :D

Regards,
Dirty Bob

[mp510]

Generally I carry the following as EDC, there may be more or less as I feel fit.

Victorinox Swiss Card (green, no light)
3" partially serrated tactical liner lock with pocket clip
Buck 373 Stockman (orginal model with 440C steel) or Victorinox Spartan

[TC-TX]

One at a time :o

[JTW Jr.]

Strider PT in case I need to open small packages at work ( as it wont scare the sheeple. )

Strider AR ( in case I need to open a SUV ;) ).

Rinaldi Matrix - just because.

I will also occasionally EDC a small necker from Jim Burke.

[gopguy]

I carry a small Swiss Army knife on my keychain and a Emerson CQC-7 or Emerson Commander clipped to my pocket. I also keep a couple knives in the trunk for emergencies. Glock field knife with Saw back, a Victorinox Swiss Army multi tool, somewhat like a Leatherman.....I think they call it the Swiss Multi tool but the actual name escapes me. A Glock Folding shovel is also back there. Do I count the folding bayonet on the Yugo 59/66 rifle I keep in the trunk? lol ;)

[tlhelmer]

Two is one! One is none.

[ChefJeff1]

Benchmade osborne and a swiss army. The benchmade cuts and the swiss army fixes stuff.

[Coronach]

two.

Why? Well, two reasons:

1. As said above, two is one and one is none.

2. I carry a 'user' strong side and a defensive knife weak side. Weapon retention is so much easier if your opponent is bleeding from a stab through his ribcage. Or neck.

Mike

[ronto]

A Buck #110 in leather on my left hip. Comes in handy for opening and cutting "stuff".

[Zero_DgZ]

Depends.

Benchmade Striker 2 Auto goes where I go, no matter what. Sometimes the Cold Steel Spike rides along, too. I have a P-51 can opener in my wallet (a bigger P-38, basically), and my multi tool usually goes with me and has a couple of blades on it, too.

If I'm going to be crashing around the bush I bring a machete or one-piece short sword.

[HiWayMan]

Old Timer Stockman - clip, sheepsfoot, spey

CRKT M16-13Z

Smith and Wesson HRT2B - Hawkbill Neck Knife



And I can relate to judging a knife by its ability to seperate me from my body parts. I have more than a few I've blooded. I have a nice fixed blade that got ornery one day and tried to remove my left index finger. That would have sucked, because that's my favorite booger hook.

[Glock_10mm]

Either my claw point folder 6" (total) or my IX Tanto 14.5". Sometimes both depends on my mood.:)

They are usually backup to my glock so not usually a need for both.

[GeoHab]

I keep a Ken Onion Leek in my back pocket for serious cutting and a small Case lockback in my side pocket for small jobs--packages, cord, opening cd cases!

[10-Ring]

I've got my Kershaw Boa & my Leatherman...I'm just not sure if the Leatherman is technically a knife

[Screehopper]

Two. Well, more like one dedicated folder and one multitool that has a knife on it.

[huge]

At work I carry my issue knife - similar to a victoronix 'soldier', only infinitely older.
Hunting - a dagger in the alpinestar bike boots and a belt knife for knocking off pig legs for dog tucker. each have a minimum 6.5" blade of either drop point, bowie or upswept skinner.
All the time - any folder thats appropriate, most times its a buck 110 or my issue knife.

I make my own hunting blades or buy something that I like and bastardise it to make it 'better' (hopefully). I get a kick out of taking something thats so almost there and making it that much better.

If your wondering why I have a dagger stuffed down a pair of motor cross boots for hunting, well it's like this in OZ(thats where i am) when we hunt we have to cover a lot of territory. in my case on my parents property, it's acase of feral animal eradication - not stalking around for a once in a lifetime trophy. So if I happen to stir up a porker onto some open country I just ride up beside him and hook my left leg into his flank, which locks him into the side of the bike. Then it's just a simple matter of pulling the dagger from your boot and sticking him or tying him up, whatever the situation calls for (gunshots may spook everything in the vicinity). The ferals are used to the sounds of a bike or quad, but not guns.
Cheers
Huge

[Zero_DgZ]

I just added a Benchmade Morpho 32 to the stable. :D

Not that any of you care. But it changes my knife total, because I keep it around to play with at the office.

[culpritish]

I try to have a multi-tool handy every day, so technically there is one blade.
But I always have an actual blade on me at all times.Off work, I usually carry a folder, my favorite being a Timberline Knives pistol grip, a gift from a friend.
The rest of the time, it is always a small fixed-blade: either a Shomer-Tec Titanium Companion
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h209/culpritish/shomer-tecti-companionSmall.jpg

or a Relentless Knives M-2 Talon
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h209/culpritish/t2five13Small.jpg



Don't even get me started on what I might carry outside of the city limits or if a bug-out situation arises.

[SAG0282]

One, a Victorinox Super Tinker.

[Dallee]

A new one for EDC-Xikar Extreme w/Cocobolo onlays. Very low profile clip and merely takes a light flick to open.:cool:

[proud2deviate]

Spyderco Police, for me. If I'm worried about blade length, either the Rookie or the Calypso Jr. gets carried.

All plainedge, with stainless handles.

If I need a beater knife for cardboard, carpet, trashbags, etc. the Harpy gets to come along.

Ka-Bar whilst hunting.

[hso]

Welcome to THR culpritish! How'd you find us?

[RioShooter]

Two. I carry a Ka-Bar TDI in my front left pocket and an inexpensive folder in my back pocket for everyday utility.

If you're not familiar with the TDI, check it out. It was designed specifically for handgun retention. Also, if anyone ever grabbed you from behind, it could prove to be quite usefull.

[culpritish]

Welcome to THR culpritish! How'd you find us?

Hello, hso, and thank you for the welcome.
I belive I found THR on Blade Forums, but don't quote me on that, as I have seen this site mentioned elsewhere.

RioShooter,

How easily can you pull your TDI from a front pocket without cutting your pants? Do you have to use a special technique to draw it?

Depends....some days i go to college ALL day and im stuck on campus until late in the evening. (this will be a long reply). Anyways, i use to carry my Cold Steel Ti-Lite, but i wanted something a little smaller. i collect knives-for-use and got myself a CRKT rollock in blue. It's pretty sharp, but small. Most people that eyeball me on campus are big. Since carrying the BIG KNIVES, i.e. my Cold Steel ODA or CRKT Komodo 7 was out of the question, i looked smaller into my collection. SOG Seal Pup? too noticable...S&W $20 double edged boot knife? bad idea....Colt Commander? Nein. This leaves a few other options of something bigger and easy to get to. Left is my CRKT F4, which i find too small. Sometimes i carry my CRKT Falcon. Its bigger, sharp, and combat savvy. Sometimes i sneek about with my CRKT Companion in the sheath tucked inside my leather jacket. its REALLY sharp and just big enough to be used for SHTF stuff. ive got plenty more knives, but this is getting length. oh, btw, am i the only one that finds sharpening knives to be a total pain in the rear?
