How many guys carry at least 1 knife?

[JHansenAK47]

I like carrying at least one at all times. Lately i've been carrying two a thinner bladed folder and a small fixed blade in the ~ 3-4 inch range.

TSA took my Victorinox Swiss Army Classic SD Pocket Knife, which I've had in my in-cabin bag all year long with many flights, last month. I replaced it with a Victorinox SwissCard that I can take the knife completely out of. I though they lightened up on knives, but apparently that was only a thought they verbalized, but did not act on. Serves me right for not watching much TV I guess.

In the woods, I carry a Benchmade mini Griptilian. Otherwise, when I remember I carry a Spyderco Endura (a little too big, but price was right!) or an EKA pocket knife which would be perfect if the blade locked.

I always carry atleast one every day. Lately I've been carrying two. Someone always needs to borrow a knife. I lend the cheaper, smaller one. I never lend any of my good knives. I have a few favorite assited openers that i cycle thru. And since the place i work at doesnt allow "weapons" to be carried or on the property, I've been carrying fairly descent Smith&Wesson H.R.T boot knife. I dont usually buy licensed gun manufacturer knives, but this turned out to be a good product and deal. It's about 4 inch blade, and a well built sheath. I will attach a picture as soon as i figure out how.

I always have a SAK Tourist in my EDC wallet.
In addition ...
While working or other wise being busy. I carry a Spyderco Salt 1 with a serrated blade. I cut a lot of cardboard and paper/plastic air bags. This is the first Spyderco knife I've owned. I never really understood the big funny hole, instead of thumb stud. Now I "get it". No more thumb studs for me. This is the first serrated blade I've had in a long time. I wish I had remembered why I quit using them. I'd like a plain edge a lot more. The H1 steel is good stuff. Thinking about replacing it with a Svord Mini peasant? Make the Salt my "swimming" knife.

I wish fixed blades were legal for EDC in Washington. A nice 3" Sheepsfoot would be a dandy work/utility blade.

My "dress up" carry is a Scagel #12.

For outdoor type stuff I love my Mora HD Companion. If I were to replace it? A regular Companion or 510 would be my choice.

Have various others, all are carbon except the SAK and Spyderco. I like 3" blades. For outdoors I like a 3-3/4" to 4". Anything bigger? Is time to break out the kukri.

[alientrainwreck]

I've always carried 2 knives one for the normal and the other small 3" lightweight stilletto or how ever its spelled for a backup or in worst case a throw down. Learned that pretty quick as a LEO. I now that's bad but that's the world we live in...

I thought all men carried knives. I have been carrying a pocket knife since I was about 12, I have many times lost one and had to go without for a few days and I can't imagine living life with no pocket knife on a permanent basis. Here in the south, or at least where I live, carrying a pocket knife is almost like a right of passage, not HAVING a pocket knife, but carrying one.

Anyway, I bought a Spyderco a couple years ago after seeing all the recommendations here on a "what to carry on a cruise" thread and that's all I've carried since, Case would be mad at you guys as that's all I carried before. Now due to my current job I also carry a leatherman wave about 90% of the time, and it's amazing how handy that is.

 

[Styx]

I carry 2 normally, but sometimes 3.

 

[T.R.]

I don't need to carry a large folder for defense because no bad guys where we live and shop. MY EDC is an older 3 blade stockman by BUCK knives.

This is the first Spyderco knife I've owned. I never really understood the big funny hole, instead of thumb stud. Now I "get it". No more thumb studs for me.

I was also a Spyderco convert. About ten years ago... I also never understood the classic Spyderco look with the hole and the leaf-shaped blade.

You really do have to pick one up to realize how amazing their designs are. I just got a new Spyderco Domino, and it is hands down the nicest production folder I've ever had.

Little Swiss Army in right front pocket. I use the scissors fairly often. I also carry a Kershaw speed safe inside my waistband, about the 1 o'clock position. It's slanted and comfortable to carry like that. Much better than than inside pocket carry as far as I'm concerned.

 

[stevek]

Current two are a Zero Tolerance 0562 in my left front pocket, and a Spyderco Delica with a combo edge in my right front pocket. And we have Spyderco Ladybugs on all of our keychains.

 

[OpticsPlanet]

I always carry one of these Gerber Air Rangers



The price is right and it's been a good quality knife, at least for the 2 years I've been carrying it.

Always carry at least 1, but have been known to carry a couple. My current EDC is a Kershaw Asset assisted opener carried in my back right pocket. For years it was a Gerber Paraframe I. I keep it sharp enough to shave with.

 

[Deltaboy1984]

I carried 3 this last trip.

 

[Valkman]

I carried Gerber knives for years but they started to get really cheap

I have one I got as an award at work in '89 and carried it daily for years. That was a good knife.

 

[C0untZer0]

I've also started carrying a Schrade OTF Viper in my coat pocket but I don't think I'll carry it when I don't have a coat.

 

[SlayerOfBunnies]

Almost always have this Becker BK11 on me, hunting or not...

 

[oldbear]

I've carried a pocket knife of one sort or another for over 50 years; some were large, some small, some were a weapon, but most were just handy tools. On the rare times I can't have a knife in my pocket I find myself checking for it, without ever realizing what I was doing.

A pocket knife is just part of me.

 

[Deltaboy1984]

I generally are up to 3 at any given time.

Rule #9 (added) - two is one, one is none. SOG Trident assisted folder clipped to back pocket, Kershaw chive in front pocket, folder strapped to underside of driver's sun visor, small folder in under-dash holder, small folder in ashtray. Used to have a key chain knife but kept forgetting and was tired of making TSA donations.. Have a little fun next time you go out to eat. When they bring the steak, turn loose the folder to cut it. Wait staff get bug eyed

I used to live in Portland Oregon and would go to the Kershaw warehouse sale every year. Over the years I acquired all sorts of Kershaw knives but I always seem to gravitate toward my favorite EDC a Kershaw Ken Onion Boa.

I will also occasionally carry an old Buck 110 that my dad gave way back in the day.

 

[riceboy72]

Being able to carry a knife when I was a kid was a rite of passage, and I still have the first knife my parents got me when I was a Cub Scout. They didn't have much money, but they got me a Schrade LB-7 which still looks new and is extremely sharp. I'll pass it onto my son when he's old enough.

Filipino heritage lends itself towards a knife culture, so I always, always have at least one on me. Currently it's an Endura 4 FFG clipped to my front pocket. Everytime I go see my dad, I snoop around in the garage and find the knives I used to look at when I was a kid. Instant memories for me about a fun time as a kid.
