What is your EDC blade? Do you carry one?

[cmr13]

And I. I usually carry my ProTech Auto but mix in the Lighting OTF, Boker 74, or a balisong for when I'm feeling fancy. Hopefully after Christmas, I'll be carrying an Esee Izula

Wooo 4 people!

Wooo 4 people!

Make it 5. I bought it just because I wanted to see for myself after nutnfancys video....and for $30 bucks its not a bad knife at all! No failures on mine yet. Fires hard....yes lockup isnt great but it still handles most tasks well. I gave it a scary sharp edge. Fun knife and actaully not a bad OTF for the money.

I think you, Nutnfancy, and I, are the only people in the world that own a Lightning OTF.

Well, The Ole Nutter wasn't why I bought mine. They are inexpensive and yet the work well. Can't beat that if you ask me. My two were $19.99 each delivered on a Black Friday deal. Both had partially serrated blades which was what I wanted at the time. I am usually a plain edge person but the serrations are great for cutting away a seat belt. They are my EDC when in car knives now. The straight part of the edges are sharp as possible now and the serrated area was already sharp enough for what I need it to do.

I carry a CRKT 4504 D.O.G. Knife every day and man is it a tank! I really like that knife and have carried it for several years now, at least 4. It is large and beefy for the blade size the the build quality is amazing and it stays sharp!

I also carry a couple of Kershaw knives every once in a while, if the dog is too big or heavy, like in suit pants. Day to day though the Dog is the one that sits by my keys ready for my pocket.

Btw, it has the best pocket clip ever, my chive has a pocket clip over three times the size and the chive will fall out when clipped! Never thought such a large knife would work with a tiny clip but it does. Sad these are no longer made, would love to find something else I like as well as this G. G. Hawk design, and I sure can't afford their customs!

I haven't had any failures to fire (in or out) at all. The only thing that has happened with mine is that it rattles a bit when it's retracted (it didn't at first) but other then that it's good.

I got the plain edge with a black blade and handle. I wanted the blue handle with black plain blade but there was no such model. You got a really good price for yours. I think mine was about $35-40 shipped.

I usually carry my benchmade mini barrage when I'm not at work. Prior to that I alternated between a benchmade 530 and 350 for 10+ years. All great knives that I've no reason to replace, yet I often find myself looking for something new. I think it's some sort of sickness

Kershaw leek on the hip and an esse 6 attached to the jam bag

 

[STEEL CORE]

Boker infinity my favorite, but $5 Winchester folder from Wal-Mart last christmas is in my pocket now.

 

[handyman]

Carried a variety case folders since I was 10 years old. Feel naked without one, but in the last 2 days just found out OTF autos are now legal. Thats definately my new daily carry.

 

[flnt38]

spyderco harpy in front pocket since the clip disappeared in the washing machine lol. cheap gerber paraframe in the watch pocket and a crkt m-21 folder in leg pocket

 

[RefuseToBeAVictim]

I do carry an EDC blade. A Smith & Wesson spring assist with slightly over 3" blade. When concealed carrying a firearm the blade is my backup. At places where I choose not to carry a gun, e.g. my living room, church, work, I carry it for self defense in order to get out of Dodge or get to my firearm (at home). I also use it for everyday stuff like opening boxes, cutting chores, etc.

Also I used to be an Armed Security Officer and one use of the blade then would be to defend against a firearm takeaway.

Recently picked up a couple Spyderco Swick 3s. Just waiting on a sheath from a friend, might slip one into a pocket every now and then

I may be carrying too many knives lately. If I had to swim, it might be a challenge.

I love bacon, so I voted bacon samich

 

[BuckCreek]

Mmmmmm Bacon Sandwich!

I always have a Victorinox Minichamp or Victorinox Midnight Minichamp. Then depending on what I'm doing and where I am I'll have a fixed blade, larger folding, or multi tool.

I'm looking for a good spring assist with a 3" or less blade.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

Depending upon whether I'm in "dress up" mode or not, I carry one of two Leatherman pocket folders, one of two Leatherman pocket tools (either the Surge or the Wave), one of several utility folders (currently favor a Buck folder with a BESH-type blade), a Leatherman Juice, and a fixed blade neck knife whose maker I can't recall. BOBs and GHBs have fixed and folder blades and the cars have hatchets, Kukhris, or both.

 

[Ruffnek]

S&W M&P spring assisted

 

[loony1]

Benchmark auto or a Kershaw leek

 

[cmr13]

S&W M&P spring assisted

Looks like that one has seen a bit of use.

Either a SOG Trident serrated, or a Kershaw Blur Tanto Serrated. I really love the Kershaw quite a bit more than the SOG. Of course, I wont tell my wife who couldn't understand why I just had to have a $60 knife in my stocking for Christmas. My only response to her was that she had no idea what people an spend on a pocket knife. I live the weight, grip, spring action, and feel of the Kershaw all better than that of the SOG.
