[Big Bill]

My EDC is a Spyderco Native plain edge in S30V - lightweight and capable.

http://playground.sun.com/~vasya/Shadow-Spyderco-Native-08.jpg

What's your's? Pictures please...

[Chilean]

Mine is a Spyderco Delica..sorry no pics...but is a well worn spyderco :)

[gripper]

Cold Steel, Scimitar Spike....like the blade shape,good tip and edge...the hilt fits me good,and the ball at the pommel makes both a good counter weight and impact tool.Disappears on my 5'8,150 lb. frame pretty readily as well.

[Rupestris]

Lately its been a Case Peanut (Yellow, CV) and a Wenger SI Swiss Army Knife.

My wife EDC's a Spyderco Dragonfly and I've been known to use a Centofante III when I feel like something a bit more modern.

[franconialocal]

Anything by Spyderco

Today is Spyderco Military and Para-Military (I'm on duty)

Usually it's my Endura, 1/2 serrated

Enjoy!!!!

[TimboKhan]

I rotate between two right now: Generally, I carry a Native or, more and more frequently, a Benchmade Griptilian. This may be changing somewhat, as I got a giftcard for Christmas and bought a brand new Endura...

[sidheshooter]

I also (usually) rotate between two: the non wave, plain vanilla (and edge) CQC-7, or the same basic setup in CQC-8/tac-black guise... when I'm feeling evil...

Of course, some days, I also have a fixer... could be a Polkowski, could be a Nealy, could even be the new SOG agency that came along with December's festivities...
:D

[JR47]

Discontinued Spyderco Standard CO5. Now produced as the Delica Steel. Serrated Spyder-Edge. Been with me since 1993, when I lost my original CO5 at a building collapse in a blizzard. :)

[Bonsai Doug]

Spyderco Native for me also.

Here's a great review by Fred Perrin: http://www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/spyderc/rev2native.html

[alaskanativeson]

My S30V Native was retired in favor of a S30V Griptilian (Frank Ritter exclusive) or a D2 Griptilian (Cabela's exclusive.)

Spyderco native in s30v in the lfp
white endura in VG-10 in rrp

[Limeyfellow]

My main two that I use for EDC are the Spyderco Endura and the Kershaw Blur. It a matter of how I feel and the first one I grab in the morning. I prefer the plain blades, so that is what I have.

Normally at work I got a multitool with me anyway thrown on my belt. Currently it is is a Gerber 600, but I am thinking of getting a new Swiss Tool instead. Occasionally carry a Kershaw Leek too for EDC, simply because they are kind of cool and nice and small when I have to get all dressy.

[chrisb507]

In order of preference/time in my pocket:

- Spyderco Delica (stainless)--good heft, pretty and functional
- Kershaw Vapor--light and locks up tight
- SOG Scupltura--small, fast, cool one-handed close
- Kershaw Scallion--a nice-sized auto-opener
- Small Sebenza--a solid folder


I love the Native and the Buck 110, but find them both too big/heavy for EDC.

[sm]

Currently-

Wenger Esquire
Victorinox Spartan.

Hyde carton cutter that takes a single edge razor blade.
that is if I can find the darn thing...where did I leave it this time?

[Landlocked Pirate]

Spyderco Native for me too. Never without it.

[22-rimfire]

The two most common EDC's for me are the Vic SAK Adventurer model and the SOG Mini Vulcan (sometimes both). I also carry a steel (scales) Spyderco Endura from time to time. I like that blade. Have a Native as well, but seldom carry it. Too many to pick from.

[Todd A]

Currently a Schrade Sharpfinger, Buck Smidgen, and a Case barehead Jack.

(I am on a fixed blade kick :) )

Have a Becker Necker coming in this week, so that will replace the Sharpfinger for awhile.:cool:

Buck Smidgen

Case (three dot ) 6202 1/2

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm99/toddma/case02b.jpg

I rotate from my "collection" so I don't have a true EDC. The Smidgen is the only one that I always carry,the others change almost daily.

Your Native is a great knife. I have one too.

[Sig 226 .40]

depends on what i feel like that day...typically my Emerson CQC-11 or CQC-6. Other days I might carry both my Spyderco Police and Civilian models. If its bad places I'm going...then I tote both my Cold Steel Vaquero Grande and X2 Voyager clip point.

[JTW Jr.]

I carry four daily:

Trace Rinaldi Matrix fixed blade (its my workhorse and is used the most )
Ken Erickson Custom slip joint ( cuts like no other )
Strider PT CC
Case Sodbuster ( it's the loaner - that co-workers and others get to use when ask to use my knife ).

[Big Bill]

All solid choices!! Thanks everyone. I like the Spyderco Native because it's so lightweight - and tough. Yet, your choices have me thinking.

[Doc_Jude]

everyday I have my SwissTool on my belt (99% of the time I wear a belt)
my pocket knives rotate randomly among an old Case folder, a Cold Steel Recon One, TiLite, and XL Voyager.

Swiss Army "Tinker" at work.
Case Amber Bone "Trapper" in CV when outdoors, or working around the house. used this knife to skin my last deer as matter of fact.
Buck 503 for sundays or when wearing slacks.
Native in s30v for out and about.

I like variety, and currently have a Case knife addiction.

[JFrame]

My always "Always" knives are a pair of Wenger Esquires, one with serrated edge and eyeglass screwdriver, and the other with a red LED light and a small thumbdrive. I usually almost always pocket another somewhat larger SAK (2 inch main blade) of unnamed origin with SS slabs and the usual assortment of tools.

When security constraints are more relaxed (casual dress and not going into buildings with metal detectors) I'll have my Spydie Lava, green G-10 Delica, D4 with FRN, or Scorpius. If I know I'm not crossing borders into the People's Republik of D.C. or Maryland, I may up the blade length to a Massad Ayoob.

[Boats]

Benchmade 610 Axis PE like this one but with winewood scales.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/SharpDan/DansPhonePics041.jpg

If I need something lighter, it's a Spyderco Pacific Salt.

I also EDC a SAK Farmer or LM Juice S4.

[shrpshn]

Native plain edge for me...

John

[S&Wfan]

Dang!

Lots of smart guys on this forum!!!

My EDC knife is . . . surprise . . . a Spyderco Native plain edge too . . . and I gave all three grown sons Spyderco Delicas for Christmas. GREAT KNIVES, and I like both of 'em equally!

Ummm . . . and I like my 1971 Model 37 Airweight .38 Spl. too, carried in a front pocket holster and/or this cherry, nickel-plated 1964 Model 36 Chief's Special.

Get good stuff and it is cheaper in the long run . . . because ya don't lose confidence in it . . . or break it and have to replace it!

[g1726]

Farmer, check out the list of reputable dealers here, but my personal favorite is NewGraham.

Daily is a Spyderco Military and a Spyderco Cricket in the pocket. When the Military gets too dull for me (still pretty sharp), it gets swapped to a Spyderco Lil' Temperance for a few days until it gets sharpened.

[JFrame]

Farmer, check out the list of reputable dealers here, but my personal favorite is NewGraham.

NewGraham is excellent. I've also had great service and comparable prices from Knifeworks.com. I don't think you could go wrong with either of these folks.

Victorinox Farmer (Soldier with the saw blade added) and my Sebenza.

My EDC for the last 3 years has been this:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/JasonB1976/frontLarge.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/JasonB1976/insheathbackLarge.jpg


Hand forged from a leaf spring I took off the old car upside down at the back end of my property. 6" OAL, 2-3/8" blade. I have a small forge and dabble in crude hammer'n'tongs knife making. This EDC knife was profiled by hand with an angle grinder and given a partial polish. These days, I rarely profile the blades with a grinder anymore, relying solely on improving hammer control to turn out forge-finished knives for friends. Most of my knives are of this pattern, I call it Chameleon. A few more forge products below:

[exflatlander]

I like the Kershaw Leek and it has held it's edge very well over the 5-6 years I have had it.

I also have the smaller Scallion which actually gets a lot of use but the little plastic blade lock finally let go (too many trips through the wash).

[rklessdriver]

Spyderco Dragonfly stainless w/Spyder Edge.

[Capt.B]

Spyderco Native, $39.95 Wally World

[ElectricHellfire]

I have a lot of knives. If I am just out and about then I rotate one of these:

Junkyard Dog II D2
Zero Tolerance 0500 Mudd
Timblerline Tactical 18 Lightfoot.

At work (hospital) I carry something lighter such as my Spyderco Native or a Browning Ice Storm.

[Mike2]

Kershaw 1660ST also have a elcheapo Gerber skeletonized frame folder. Truck knife is the Recon Tanto by Cold Steel and also pack knife is my BuckMaster. Got it for Christmas back in the early 80's Love it and will one day be buried with it.

This is the one I carry most days, it holds an edge well.

[alaskanativeson]

I'm thinking about getting a Benchmade Rukus or Mini-Rukus. Anybody have experience with these knives? They have the Axis lock which I love, but they look like they'd fill the hand a little better.

[woodfiend]

I covet those knives. They are so beautiful, the Rukus I mean. I bought a Mini-Griptilian brand new in the box once for $8. It's clipped on my pocket right now.

[JShirley]

Bill, I most often carry that exact knife (check your pocket!! :what: ;)). I have frequently carried a little Case in the last year when I'm teaching.

[CZ.22]

As of late it's either a Benchmade 530 or a ZDP-189 Endura. Both are great knives, although the Endura is a lot bigger.

[Big Bill]

Sometimes I trade off with my Kabar Bob Dozier folder in AUS 8A.

Pres,

You have a ZDP? That's certainly an investment! How do you like it? I have a Waved Endura and a Delica, but I'm too cheap to pay for the ZDP.

John

[CZ.22]

I love it. It has the FRN, and I got it for 20% off, so it was $64. It's got dark green scales. Solid lockup, easy to open. I still prefer thumb studs, but I can use the Spyderhole okay. I don't think this will be my last Spyderco.

[TimboKhan]

I still prefer thumb studs, but I can use the Spyderhole okay.

Friend, this is where you and I part ways. I can use a thumbstud, but I will take a nice round spyderhole any day of the week. Other than the axis lock, one of the main reasons I love my griptilian so much is that it has a hole as opposed to a stud. Needless to say, this is also one of the big reasons why I just bought an Endura to compliment my Grip and my Native....

[Doug S]

Case Brown Medium Stockman, and Victorinox Explorer Plus.

[chrisb507]

It took me a while to get used to the somewhat-sharp Spyderco hole. But now, yeah, once you get used to it, I think it beats the thumb stud, easily.

[Jalexander]

Mine is a Ken Erickson trapper with O1 blades.

James

[Lurp]

Been carrying a CRK large classic Sebenza for the past 3 years. I bought about 25 edc knives trying to find the perfect one until I finally picked up a Sebenza. Since then I haven't purchased another knife and don't think I will unless I lose it ;)

[duvalhunter]

I've been EDCing my Kershaw Leek, it works good for the light work I normally do with it. If I got out of town or anticipate anything remotely heavy I normally get the BM Rukus.

[Dirty Dawg]

I have loads of folders, everything from inexpensive knives from ACE Hardware to custom handmade. For the past few years I've leaned toward traditional folders and away from anything that clips on. I've just gotten so that I'd rather have a knife that rides deep in my pocket therefore not advertising to everyone that I carry a knife. The problem with most traditional folders is they can't be deployed quickly. That's led me to my current EDC, the Mcusta Take. It's got an ambi thumb stud (great for leftys like me), sharp as snot, solid lockup and a spear point. I have also become very fond of the Cocobolo scales which are not only nice to look at but feel good in the hand. So, while this isn't my favorite knife, it gets more pocket time than any of the others.

Beautiful. Wouldn't want to thrust with it, though...

[SDC]

Usually, either a Benchmade half-serrated Griptilian, or a Kershaw Leek.

[czarjl]

Benchmade 730 or Benchmade 3100 automite

[tradja]

I'm kinda ashamed to admit that it's only a Spyderco Ladybug and a Victorinox Classic for me. I've got a drawer full of nice production folders and custom fixed blades, but I like the office-friendly size and pointy tip of the Ladybug.

Weekends, it's a CE Spyderco Endura 4 (foliage green handle) and a Murray Carter neck knife. I'm not much into combo edges, but I found this cheap and it is handy.

[hso]

Can't do much better than one of Murray's knives.

[tradja]

Can't do much better than one of Murray's knives. You sound like you've got one+. Do you EDC it?

I live down the road from Spyderco in CO and picked up a Pollywog on closeout for dress clothes and use a Benchmade 950 Rift in street clothes. The employees at the Spyderco headquaters were extremely nice and very informative. If you live around the Denver area I would recomend dropping by.

[Borch]

The only knife I carry daily is a $9 Winchester folder with a half serrated blade that I got at Walmart 5 years ago. It was and still is the sharpest most durable knife I have ever carried. It replaced my $120 Benchmade Appelgate/Fairbairn Covert Tactical folder that I had been carrying for only 6 months. I was more than a little upset when the handle on the Benchmade broke after falling 3 feet to the garage floor.

I'll never spend big money on a knife again. Not after seeing how well a $9 folder form Walmart can the job done.

Spyderco Tenacious (8Cr13MoV). Sharpens easily and feels good in the hand. If something happens to it I won't be too upset either, seeing as I picked it up for $35.00 after shipping.

[tomh1426]

As of last Friday my new EDC has been a Benchmade 890 Torrent.

[Smith]

My EDC has evolved from a Smith and Wesson Cuttin' Horse, to a Kershaw Leek, to a Kershaw Leek and a CRKT M16 10KZ, to a CRKT M16 10KZ and an Emerson Combat Kerambit.

Today it is typically my new Spyderco Endura 4 Wave and my M16 10KZ. The M16 takes the heavy abuse since it's relatively cheap. I still carry the Emerson occasionally, too.

[Dirty Bob]

I recently obtained a Svord Peasant Knife, made by Brian Baker's shop in New Zealand. Love it! The handle shape is a perfect fit for my hands. As I live in a municipality that bans locking folders, I prefer to carry one without a lock. The Peasant Knife is safe without a lock, as the long tang within my grip keeps the knife from closing. Blade length is 3 inches.

I also like that I can totally dismantle it in a few moments for cleaning and/or maintenance. A wood handled version is also available. Lightweight, good design, and not expensive. What's not to like? I got it at edcdepot.com, but Ragnar at Ragweed Forge also carries them.

I also have added a few blades since January. The one that has me the most tickled is the SOG Access Card 2.0. I love this little knife and it is a lot tougher than it looks.

[Carl Levitian]

I have to admit my edc knives seldom vary from a Case peanut, with a Victorinox classic on my keyring. Sometimes I'll have a sak bantam or recruit in my pocket. I like small inconspicous pocket knives. Sometimes theres a cheap box cutter around.

Spyderco Caly3. Not a very well known model, but it's what I like. G10 scales and VG-10 blade.

[Nairbedaw]

My EDC is usually one of these: Cold Steel Roach Belly (usually), Cold Steel Finn Bear, Cold Steel Candian Belt Knife, Cold Steel Ti- Lite. Usually anything by Cold Steel fits me just fine. Ive been pining for one of these though: CRKT Crawford Kasper Dragon. I usually dont go with a folder unless its the Ti- Lite. Very good selections by everyone on this thread so far!

[Mokwepa]

Cold steel Rhaja 2 and a Leatherman Surge (prefer the supertoll 200) or Cold steel Black Bear, depending on what im wearing at the time.

[Nairbedaw]

Yeah that Black Bear is a good one, too bad Texas has a 5.5" law... theres so many good ones out there that are longer than the law here allow.

My EDC of a Native has suffered from a few mutations. The first was to the also-S30V Buck 347 Vantage Pro in late Feb:

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u307/Stainz_2007/IMG_3380.jpg

The next perturbation was the Benchmade BM 635BK mini-Skirmish in S30V & Ti:

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u307/Stainz_2007/IMG_3515.jpg

The final stop... a regular Benchmade BM 630 Skirmish:

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u307/Stainz_2007/IMG_3648-1.jpg

They kept getting bigger... my wallet got a lot lighter... then, an epiphany... the stinking $40 Spydie Native my wife shocked me with over two years ago was just right! I've got some nice knives now... almost spent what a Sebbie would have cost! The Native rules.

[Nairbedaw]

I recently started carrying my Cold Steel Kobun again. Great knife for the price, not sure if the still make this one or not. I think its basically the same as the Recon Tanto, but Im 100% on that.
The Kobun was 5.5" and the Recon Tanto was 7".

[mgregg85]

Well I sure feel under dressed now, the only knife that I carry every day is a Gerber EAB.

Hey....it cuts don't it? That's all that matters.:)

But I'm working on getting a sypderco endura.

Great choice.

I have a (very inexpensive) Endura sized G10 Byrd Cara Cara for a beater folder. Or for when I go somewhere that I can't legally carry one of my fixed blades but still want/need a one hand knife. Spyderco quality is top notch...even on the budget Chinese Byrd line.

[graywolfkayak]

I also carry the Spyderco Native plain edge in S30V. My favorite folder.

[Joe Demko]

I carry a large Case Sodbuster that is crawling up on 40 years old. It's early 1970's production with black compostion handles, stainless blade, and a brass liner lock. I've been looking for another locking one with a carbon steel blade, but no joy on that as yet.

[Nairbedaw]

Im just wondering, and have posted a different thread, but does anyone have experience with the Benchmade Nimravus? Ive been looking at getting one very seriously but Ive never bought a Benchmade bc the price of the ones I want. IMO the Nimravus is a great looking knife and seems good for my EDC but I have no experience with this company. Is this a good knife for the money and steel used?

My EDC is a Swiss Champ. I do also carry a Native alot of the time but the one that goes in my pocket when I grab my keys is the Champ. It's got alot of things that I know will get me through the day from tightening a screw to cutting the sipping straw for my 5 year old son when we eat out to writing a check if I forget a regular pen.

Before that I carried either an Old Timer or Uncle Henry that mu dad bought me for my 7th birthday back in 1977. Now they stay in my sock drawer and come out every so often for a touchup.
