How much do you spend on an EDC

[Creedmoor]

After talking about Big Powered Knive Blades, pockets just kinna suck.

Kinda hard to carry one of those everyday though

I like variety in my daily pocket carry, but usually it is an Emerson or Spyderco Military.

Bout ten bucks, S&W from SMKW. I lose about 6 per year. Looking for blaze orange handles now. That’s in my pocket.

If you look closely at my avatar just under the hat brim, that’s a ~35 year old buck 501 slim line in a hidden inside the belt holster at the time it was about 30-40 bucks. It’s always on me if I’m wearing pants.

If you’re wearing pants, that’s the INGO way

For most, but others

I have a bench made Osborne 940? 840? Whatever the original one is. I’m not a fan, expensive, hard (for me) to sharpen, I have to bend the pocket clip twice a year roughly to keep it tight. Lost it once in my gf’s car, found it clipped to the seat belt. I want to try a pm3 but I’m not great with the spydy hole. I have an original bugout as well and I think it’s amazing. Lightweight, good blade shape, not worried about losing it. I use it for gym shorts/sweats. Clipped on my waist. I completely forget it’s there until I need it. People complain about the plastic scales but I’ve never had any issues.

Baby trucks carry baby blades.

Should have wrote it like this…

“If you’re wearing pants…” Is the INGO way

Do you use your thumb on the spydie hole? Or do you use your middle finger to flip it open?

I use my thumb but there are a lot that flip it open with their middle finger

I don't think I could get my middle finger to work like that.

I concur !

 

[snapping turtle]

I think I just discovered a new EDC? Just what I want. Affordable and easily replaceable that I'm not shy of using roughly to take away from precision sharpness needed for the next thing...

Honestly though, it was the bitholder that sold me to start with.

I believe it has a bottle opener also

I don't have that torque in my finger to open my Enduras, even a brand new one. I suspect Enduras in general are not as slick opening as the one in the video, and mine are generally going to be dirty and not well tuned.
I'm not much fun, I'm way past looking cool, (as the vid states) but I can have my knife open with one hand without looking, really without even thinking. Muscle memory I suppose. I'm left handed, carry tip up, the only way.

I wouldn't have any fingers left if I tried to close my knife like the guy in the video though.

 

[Edged Tools]

I use my thumb and flip the wrist for my Spydies. Just showing how some do it with the finger.

Looks easy, I can’t do it though

And I close my slowly, no race to closing it

I’ve only played with them at dealers. I tried the spydie flick and couldn’t really get it down but I only played with it maybe 5 minutes. My issue seems to be that I’ve had a number of cheap thumb hole open knives given to me and because of how crappy they were I didn’t use them long before ending up in a junk drawer. I’m worried that buying a pm3 will just end up being an expensive good quality knife in the junk drawer because I have benchmades sitting there that I can easily flip open one handed (left or right). I’ll pick up a used one to see if I like it eventually.

The lock back spydercos cannot really be "flicked" open, now the models on phosphor bronze washers and bearings however can be.

I spent $29.85 and have been very happy with it.

And here I thought I was defective all this time.
Well maybe that doesn’t mean I’m not…

I only own lockbscks, and won’t allow liner locks on the job. I’ve seen too many liner locks held open when dirt and mud gets inside.
