Favorite EDC...what'cha got

[MTLabrador]

I’ve been going a little more traditional lately and I like it. That carbon steel sure does sharpen up nice.

The best $10 of chinesium I’ve ever owned.

Can someone explain the legality of buying an automatic online. Looks like my state is legal for <3.5"...what am I missing?

A conundrum even for brick and mortar purchases.

I used to buy some sweet steel from a Rez knife shop at Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton, Oregon. Anything with a spring in it is illegal to carry through Washington State on the way home. Somehow they always made it.

I am a Case collector. Don't have a huge collection but the ones I have displayed at home have never been used or sharpened with original box. I started giving my son a new case every year for Christmas when he was 9. He is now 13 with a good start to a case collection. His also are new.
As far as edc I was switching around between a few used case but keep going back to an old school yellow synthetic trapper.
It was rusty when I acquired it. I cleaned it up and enjoy carrying it all though a little heavy.

Tip up...but I've plenty of practice both ways

Zappa wrote a song about that.

I have Benchmade 940’s. One Auto, one classic. I’ve been carrying the 940 for more than 15 years. I’ve lost a couple (at airports- ouch) but I always go back. Kinda the perfect knife in size, weight, and strength. I probably own ~100 knives, but find no reason to carry anything else.

I have three Spydercos and benchmade that just sit in a drawer cause I take the Ozark Trail to work every day. I don’t care if I drop it into the sewer on accident and it actually is a solid knife.

Jeez. Now I have to have one. At least. Internet says they are in short supply. The nearest Walmart is 50 miles away. Going for a drive Saturday. mtmuley

Now that we’ve gone there.

Size doesn’t matter.

Spyderco Native always

Some combination of these. If I’m being more practical, the bugout is a phenomenal knife. The claymore is pretty damn cool though, and it’s very slim and light for being such a serious knife. You can barely tell I have it in my pocket.

Then there’s the 43X, because it’s slim, light, easy to shoot, and 16 Federal HSTs makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Never had a Benchmade but I love my 43X.

Am I the only one who prefers a serrated edge? Seems they are becoming less popular.

I like them for function but pretty annoying to sharpen or maybe idk what I'm doing

Depends on whether I’m wearing something that supports a pocket clip, but these are my go-to’s.

Bench made 940, some variation of Glock, sig, kimber, Wilson combat you get the point.
