EDC knives

what kinda knives do you guys carry? what do you wanna carry? please share

personally I usually carry my Benchmade griptillian but i can be found with a composite Kershaw leek, spyderco endura clipit from the 90s, or a spyderco tenacious. (i have many other knives but these are my favorites i have)

Right now this is my carry knife.

I currently EDC a Kershaw Knockout 1870OLBK.

Here's a thread about my favorite knives:

I’m old fashioned. I’ve always liked Old Timer pocket knives. I have a Kershaw at home, as well as several cheaper knives lying around. Now, I EDC a Buck 371. It’s a three blade Stockman pocket knife. It looks like this:

I carry around a 2 blade knife very similar to Davids above. I will also carry a Kershaw Intellect, Ganzo FH11, a Ganzo auto I can’t remember the model of or a Buck 290. Lots of great budget and not so budget blades out now days. I have a whole drawer full of other knives but those are my EDC’s.

I normally carry a small folder but lately I carried small fixed blade.
My current carry is CRKT Minimalist.

On my side I have a gerber multitool. On my right pocket I have a SOG assisted opener. in my left pocket I have a old (pre sell out) oldtimer stockman.

The old timer I found laying on an ac unit of a bank I got called to do some electrical work on. It’s the weirdest knife I’ve seen. I have a few old timers but this one the smallest blade is stainless while the other 2 are mild steel like all my other old timers.

SAK SwissChamp in a Zermatt holster with sharpening steel for 5 years this Christmas. I have some nice knives, but like the multi-tool concept. For 10 years prior, it was the Leatherman Super Tool v.1. It’s more robust than SAK, but it does less.

I was in Los Angeles visiting family for 3 weeks and brought a carry on, so no knives.

I felt naked.

Zero Tolerance 0560bw, 0620cf, and 0450cf are mainly what I carry. I like my Benchmade 940-1 and Contego 810 (would love this one a lot more if it was centered and quit seizing up every few weeks) as well.

As for what I’d like to carry production wise, a lot more ZT’s and knives from designers that use WE for production. Custom, serveral Gavko, Tuff knives, Black Snow, Marfione, CMF, and a ton more.

I have a rotation between my Benchmades, Zero Tolerance and Reate knives.
Not a fan of Spyderco

Like a few others I am on a rotation of what strikes my fancy when I am filling up the pockets in the morning.

The last few days it has been the Benchmade 940 because it matches the green on my emisar D4. :slight_smile: Most of my rotation is ZT and Benchmade, with a few other smaller makers thrown in to make things interesting.
