The "Whats your EDC" and "How many" threads got me to thinking,yah I know its dangerous.
As an accumulator of knives I do forget that most normal people don't have a lot of knives laying around. Some of you guys carry the same knives,or even knife , daily.
I,on the other hand,will often change knives during the day. What I put into my pockets in the morning might not be the same as what I put away at bed-time.
Those of you who carry only a certain knife,or knives, know the capabilities of your EDC's far better than I do mine. Since I don't have a set EDC.
So...Since it is a new year I decided to actually try an EDC combo. Now,I am not crazy , so I am not going to try to emulate Carl's famous peanut experiment.There is just no way I could limit myself to one knife :banghead:.
But until Jan 2010 this is what I will allow myself to carry and use on a daily basis. No other knife will enter my pockets or hang off my belt.
My brand new Becker BK11, my trusty Buck Smidgen, and a Vic Hiker.
With these three I believe I will have all the bases covered. From every day use to hikes and camping with my son.
It will be hard to not carry a vintage slipjoint , but at least I will know what my knives are capable of doing. Something I can not answer right now as I never have them in my rotation long enough to find out.
