[steeltiger]

I thought it'd be interesting to know what you carry day to day, your EDC's that is, interested in whats popular 'round here. Expecialy for leo & millitary use.

[.cheese.]

you mean aside from gun?

For gun - Glock 27 w/reload and Glock factory extended mags

Aside from gun:
Benchmade Griptillian
Surefire L4

[JShirley]

I carried a CRKT Desert Cruiser for a while, but went back to my Spyderco Native.

(edit) The Spydie does what I need a folder to do, while being lightweight and handy. It has been used and abused and is still going strong.

[modifiedbrowning]

Spyderco Endura left pocket, Spyderco Scorpius or Kershaw Leek in right pocket.

[Sharpdogs]

Usaully a SAK Farmer and LM Squirt P4 with either a Boker Trance or Wharcom. Sometimes a Delica or Griptillian.

[TrapperReady]

Benchmade Mini-<something>*
Victorninox Tinker
Atwood Prybaby XL

* Griptilian, Skirmish, AFCK or Presidio. I've carried each extensively, and actually the AFCK is almost worn-out (I should really send it back to be worked on). I like the Presidio the best, mostly because of the blade shape, but it is incredibly hard on pockets. All of my jeans have been shredded by the scales on the knife. I'm considering making or having made a smooth right-side scale for it.

The Prybaby is a cool little widget, but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. The only saving grace is that when I have used it, it's been very helpful.

[mpc12]

CRKT G.W.Hawk D.O.G.
Kershaw Tanto Blur
Surefire E2D

I was typically carrying a Emerson CQC 7 but it magically disappeared at work. :cuss:

[Mandirigma]

Currently a Graham Knives Ringed Razel, as soon as it comes in I'm adding the Breed Tanto as well.

[SIRVEYR666]

A very broken in Applegate-Fairbairn Covert Folder, and a pocket full of sharp pointy pieces of gravel, a Leatherman Super Tool, and about 14 pounds of keys.:cuss:

[Pax Jordana]

Surefire e1e or maglite 2AA (surefire is brighter for nights, maglite still illuminates and makes a VERY handy basher)
Kershaw tanto blur
Some manner of non-socialwork knife (electrician's knife, retired social knives, schrade lockback)
Chapstick (:p )
a bandana (http://www.donrearic.com/flexibleweapons.html)

It's not quite EDC, but I have a pair of Tactical Grinch Boxer Briefs I wear when out on nightops.

[CWL]

Depending on the mood:

Spyderco Civilian
Benchmade Osborne
CRKT M16Z
Spyderco Tasman Salt w/yellow scales

Most of the time:
Hideaway Knives Strider prototype neck knife
Atwood prybaby

[for_hire]

I carry my Master's of Defense Right Pocket.
My EK boot knife. On left anke
SOG Seal 2000 in car

[66912]

Every day: Kershaw Ken Onion variation

CCW: CRKT Stealth First Strike

Backpacking: Becker Knife and Tool BK7

[Fat_46]

EDC - Kershaw rainbow Leek

Hunting - Anza hunter, Western drop point, Gerber multi-tool

Camping/hiking - PJ Thomes camp knife, Kershaw bladetrader, Kershaw carabiner knife, Gerber multi-tool

Occasionally I'll throw in the Douk Douk in the off side pocket.

[Soap]

It varies, but the most commonly carried for me are:

BM-42
Spyderco Perrin Street Beat
Emerson La Griffe (off side)
Large Squirrel Douk Douk
SAK Soldier
Spyderco Persian

[Coyote3855]

Pocket: Moore Maker 3.5" Bone handled Trapper, small Victorinox on key ring with Digilight and Gerber nail clippers.

Clipped in waistband, Spyderco Native or Endura, or sometimes a $10 S&W lockback that I wouldn't mind losing or breaking.

[JTW Jr.]

carrygun 1991A1 Compact or Combat Commander in Satin Nickel.

Daily carry Blades
Strider PT , Trace Rinaldi Matrix , Case/Bose 2000 edition slipjoint , all carried in seperate sheaths , keeps em out of view at work ;) These 3 are my users and they get used often. After showing Rinaldi the fixed blade a few weeks ago , he noticed right away it werent no safe queen , I think custom makers love to see their knives get used.


on the weekends/after work I usually slip my Strider AR into my pocket as well , sometimes if I am going without the 1911 , a Blackwood Henchman , Simonich Raven or Zero White Lightning or one of the blades I make will ride in the spot where the 45 goes.

I have been accused of being a walking knife show , especially when wearing my 511 vest , any idea how many blades you can carry to a knife show with one of those :D alot !!

[Mandirigma]

Thumper: Looks like a SpyderCo Military. Loved mine, until it folded on me. :(

Kimber 3" Stainless Ultra Carry II

[JTW Jr.]

war zone ?????:confused:

[22-rimfire]

SOG Twitch II and SAK Soldier. Sometimes will carry the Spydie Native without the clip.

[Q-Lock]

I alternate between my Spyderco Endura and my Benchmade Griptillian.

I also carry the SK2 when I'm at work...won't use the good blades for cutting the nasty stuff.

[geterdone]

Kel-Tec P3AT or S&W 637 with Crimson Trace grips. Never leave home without them!

[islandphish]

If I'm wearing a heavy belt I will sometimes take a Gerber Multi-tool. I'd like to have a Wave but am not willing to spend for the difference.

My pocket knife is a well used mini-Griptilian. Mine is a little bit older model with the studs for opening instead of the holes. I can't see that there is much functional difference.

[bobbytm]

Snub .38special and my CRKT m16-14m big dog.

Finally a "what do you carry" thread where I can participate :)

[steeltiger]

that comb looks awfull scary, I hope you know how to use it!
I'm glad this thread is being enjoyed. Thanks again for the responce!

[Mandirigma]

that comb looks awfull scary, I hope you know how to use it!

Grab the bristles/teeth end in your hand and jam the handle into a soft target :evil:


Here's mine http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=55216&d=1174452125

Graham Razel, Breed Tanto, 1991A1, 2xMag, Invoa X2, Moleskine&pen, Keys, Colibri, Regular and Drop moneyclip.

[Mandirigma]

XXOXX, I'm going to field this one. Since I'm the one "loaded" for a war zone.
I don't take offense. I dress for whats appropriate.

The times you are out and about its misting, for me its raining. It has to do with the industry I work in. Not high risk like LEO, contracting or Executive Protection. Just slightly higher risk. Muggings, and less so shootings, are common in my trade.

Some may think its over kill, so be it. I look at it as options.

As for the dressing for a warzone and experience, hua, I totally understand, all I'm going to say about it is lead the way.

Only long gun I've got nearby is a 12 gauge, but thats hidden in the vehicle. I've got my other gear at home and at other sites. Just depends on the Sitrep. I'm prepped for shtf and teotwawki if it comes down to it.

Now when I was working 6-4 in an office, I will admit all I carried was a subcompact glock and spyderco folder. As all it ever did was mist.

[cereedy]

What I have in my pockets right now

[JTW Jr.]

this week I decided to rotate my EDU ( Every Day User ) fixed blade and substituted in a Hossom DogTag.

[Byron Quick]

We should have a thread: "What do you wear when it's wet outside?"

Maybe you you stay dry by relying on forecasts. I stay dry by keeping a rain suit and umbrella in my vehicle and my home at all times.

The few times I've needed a weapon it wasn't in the forecast or I wouldn't have gone out.

I don't live in a war zone either. But seven friends and relatives have been murdered since 1982.

Friend, has it ever occurred to you to buy insurance? Same principles involved. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[JTW Jr.]

as has been said you cant accurately predict the weather , you can have the best of the best at home in your safe , dont do you any good when you are miles away from them and need something now , be it to cut something open , cut that alternator belt that broke and wound itself around the fan , etc or to protect you are your loved ones with.

I keep the spare in the trunk aired up at all times , i aint been able to tell in advance when a flat will occur.

I have many friends who are into blades , they ( and I ) dont carry them cause we feel we live in a war zone , we carry them as tools , cause ya know sometimes it just aint cool to shoot open that box on the loading dock ;)

[badman3374]

My Stuff as my wife calls it. I never .. never ...leave the house without the Emerson CQC7. Kimber TLE2. At least 2 Wilson 47D mags a charged cel phone and a smile on my face ready to try and survive another day ....

[Exmasonite]

or
Bersa Thunder .380 in cheap IWB holster or ankle holster. occasionally pocket carry in winter.

[Appsy]

My EDC

Leatherman Surge
Victorinox Super tinker
Streamlight Sterion
Mobile Phone
Zippo
Good Pen

[Trooper720]

Might Sound crazy or paranoid but I have a CRKT folder in pocket and a pair of Cold Steel safe makers tucked someplace else.

[Skofnung]

Knife wise, I always have a SAK Tinker in my left pocket and a Spyderco Endura clipped to my right pocket. I can remember only 8 times in the last 14 years that I didn't have the Tinker in my pocket.

When I am not at work, I have either a Glock 26 or a Kel-Tec P3AT on me.

When I go places where "mean" looking knives and guns are verboten, I carry a mini-mag lite or a large magic marker.

Occasionally a SOG twitch II limit. edition finds is way in or a spydie/byrd cara cara.

[FourTeeFive]

http://www.kershaw-knives.net/images/Kershaw-Leek-1660CKT-350x350.gif

Kershaw Leek in black, with clip reversed so blade point faces up when carried in pocket. This is a legal length in WA, and a very slim knife to carry. The older ones (I have two) have a nicer black finish than the new ones.

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

Aside from a pistol:

Galco gun belt---on the belt either a stag handled Buck 112 or a Buck 501

Keychain #1---car key and clicker thingy

[Joe Demko]

Aside from a handgun, I carry an AG Russell yellow delring lockback. I was going to link to it, but his site doesn't show it any more. It's basically a very high quality copy of the old Remington Bullet pattern lockback.

Note: in looking around his site, I spied this (http://www.agrussell.com/knives/by_maker/a_through_d/a_g_russell_knives/folding_knives/a_g_russell_25_titanium_lockback_folder.html). I believe I may have to buy one.

Minus cell, which is a cheapy Moto RAZR.

[Rob87]

wallet
keys on a carabiner
cell phone in a plastic holster

I also have a Cold Steel Voyager (4" blade) and a Kershaw Vapor (3") but neither seems suitable for carry. The Voyager is a little intimidating, and the last thing I need it LEO's searching me for illegal weapons, and the Vapor I can't open with one hand, and I hate frame locks. I think I might return it, actually.

Edit: mdao, what kind of holster is that? I like it. :)

[Cosmoline]

Speed six w/ heavy HP's in a beat up frankenholster. At least one speedloader with reload. Usually my puukko.
