What is your Every Day Carry?

Calvin Wiles · 10-13-2009, 05:25 AM

Post a picture of your knife that you carry with you every day.

Keith Smith · 10-13-2009, 05:36 AM

My favorite carrying knife for the longest time was a Benchmade 9050SBK.

This knife was issued to me around 2004 and I lost it sometime in 2008. Unfortunately since I am no longer in the military and this knife requires either active military or LEO, I can not buy another... Plus at $125/ea, I probably wouldn't buy one anyways.

Since I cant have my Benchmade 9050, I found the Kershaw Leek to be a very close (and legal) second!

The Leek is spring assisted, so you just have to bump the little level on the backside of the blade to open it. Its a very sleek and fast blade! Be sure to watch the video demonstration.

captron · 10-13-2009, 07:38 AM

The bottom one in the picture is a Handi Scandi by Charles May. It resides in my back pocket every day.

Raminator · 10-13-2009, 09:39 AM

Here's what I carry:

Kershaw 1820. It's not really a fighting knife per say. but to me it's a lot more useful. I like the long flat blade and the curve on the back. I use it for just about everything, and I use it everyday. The flat blade is super easy to sharpen and it'll hold its edge pretty well. It works great for cutting the shielded jacket of 0000 electrical cables.

BuckeyeBlast · 10-13-2009, 09:57 AM

I can't carry a knife. In Ohio we have a 'Concealed Handgun License'. Carrying a concealed knife is a felony, but I can carry an .50 cal Desert Eagle under my jacket w/ an extended 30 round magazine. Makes sence, hugh?

In FL, I had always carried a Harley Davidson branded knife, not sure who made them.

It's not a knife sir, it's a bayonet for the Desert Eagle....

Makes perfect sense.

Pat-inCO · 10-13-2009, 03:56 PM

Swiss Army Tool Kit.

Mbtech87 · 10-13-2009, 07:14 PM

I usually carry this..

or this...

sometimes this..

The SOG is the only assisted opening blade, the 2 Spyderco's open smooth and fast.

blade · 10-15-2009, 09:46 AM

Oh, I see some beauties in here.

My EDC depends on where I'm going. Usually it's either Spyderco Endura, Benchmade Pika or Byrd Raven. Sometimes it could be Coldsteel Recon Tanto, Ultimate Hunter or some other special tool.

I also keep Wenger Delemont in my car and Leatherman Wave in the wife's.

sean m · 10-15-2009, 11:34 PM

Either a Kershaw Leek, Vapor, or a Gerber Ez-out for a lockback. A Victorinox or Wenger swiss army knife always goes along for the ride too.

bub · 10-16-2009, 03:27 PM

I guess I'm not very "High-Speed, Low-Drag". I carry a Cold Steel medium plain edge Tanto Point Voyager. Have had it and carried it for years, always worked out VERY WELL for me. With the thumb stud, I can open it one handed almost as fast as one of the spring-assisted knives. The pocket clip isn't very good, the knife will come unclipped and fall out of my pocket on a regular basis, so I just carry it in my pocket instead of clipped on my pocket. Pic below (I hope, tried hot-linking directly to the Cold Steel website), second from the left.

twobiscuit · 10-18-2009, 06:28 PM

I carry a Canal Street NRA ramshorn trapper. In my pack I carry a small hatchet, a SOG multitool and a Bark River fixed blade.

Dave in PA · 10-21-2009, 01:47 PM

Here's my Benchmade Griptilian and Victorinox Compact knife. Both carried daily for the last 4-5 years? or so.

terry_p · 10-21-2009, 03:06 PM

This is my everyday work knife. It's made by a friend of mine from Texas.

jsmith · 11-15-2009, 11:59 AM

Just picked up my new carry knife Benchmade 550GH Griptilian.

STOMP442 · 11-16-2009, 12:06 PM

This is the one in my pocket at the moment.

rugerfreak · 11-17-2009, 10:10 AM

Don't have any pics but----Benchmade 520 and Vic Farmer are my EDC combo.

You don't necessarily have to be military or LE to own an auto---autos are legal in this state--local dealer sells auto Benchmades all the time---just pay your money and out ya go. I do own a Benchmade 5500--auto version of the 520---but never carry it---the manual version is just more useful ---as it can be opened and closed one handed---and opens just as fast.

Vance in AK · 11-18-2009, 12:51 PM

No pic, but for me it's the Kershaw Ken Onion 1550 Blackout. Nice size & handy.

ctkelly · 11-19-2009, 01:39 PM

Emerson Commander, partially serrated with blackened blade. A little large of a knife for pocket/daily carry but its served me well.

Ruger KP345PR · 11-24-2009, 02:31 AM

I switch off between a Kershaw Barrage, Gerber AR3, and a Mini Griptilian.

My favorite is the Barrage, it holds an edge well, has a good frame lock, and is big enough and fast enough to be a tactical folder.

Jazzman · 11-24-2009, 07:21 AM

Hey BuckeyeBlast, I thought you can carry a concealed knife in Ohio, but it had to have a blade length of under 3". Anyone else have a blade length maximum to carry concealed in your state.

Jazzman

jowfist · 11-24-2009, 01:26 PM

Currently carrying SOG FlashII. Great knife and very inexpensive. Don't mind getting it "dirty" unlike my benchmades.

That could be, I dunno for sure. Regardless though, being deemed responsible enough to carry a loaded .50 semi-automatic handgun, while not being able to carry a blade of 5" makes no sence. Then again, most gun laws don't.

john moore · 11-29-2009, 08:34 PM

I carry the hard to find ruger automatic.

Macx · 11-30-2009, 11:45 AM

Dr. Marneaus · 12-01-2009, 06:52 PM

CRKT M16-10KZ

I've had and lost a few of them, best knife I've owned. Cheap too.
well, they WERE cheap...used to be able to pick them up at wal mart for 18.88, now they are 40 bucks everywhere for some reason?

OCB · 12-06-2009, 05:12 PM

My every day knife is a Camillus 1990. Good knife.

Can you show any pictures or elaborate further? I'm not familiar with this knife.

.357 mag · 12-10-2009, 02:38 PM

I carry a Buck Strider and a Buck redpoint everyday.

dogboy · 12-10-2009, 06:57 PM

Three Victorinox pocket knives: Classic, Waiter, and Soldier. Two SOG's: Twitch II and Flash II.

All cheap, and work. Oh, and a Leatherman Wave. Yeah, I know, it's overkill.

I can't carry a gun in MD, so I use my "personal pound" to pack knives.

crafter32034 · 12-16-2009, 04:19 AM

I have 3 knives I carry regularly

Assisted opening karambit

Smith and Wesson 24-7

SOG Flash I

gqucool · 12-27-2009, 12:38 AM

I am new here so I will have to learn how to post a pic. But my personal knife I carry daily is a Kershaw with the spring assisted opening feature. Makes for a very fast deployment if needed!!!

cruiserbruiser · 12-29-2009, 02:57 PM

My everyday carry is a Spderco CPM auto

herbie1 · 12-29-2009, 05:40 PM

For weekday office workplace I carry a Kershaw Leek. It is small, light and has a thin pointy blade which good for office/utility work.

For week-ends I will usually carry a Spyderco Tenacious. The Tenacious is large, sturdy and perfect for the week-end house and garden work. It is also relatively cheep. I can really use and abuse it and I don't have to worry about keeping it pretty.

Bozack · 01-04-2010, 10:44 PM

My work knife is a Spyderco Native. Outside of work I carry a Benchmade Rift.
