What is your knife EDC?

[rkenaston]

Hello, all! (i didn't see this thread so hopefully it wont be a duplicate) I have never owned a "good" EDC knife and I'm curious what you all are currently carrying. At this point, after narrowing down my price point and watching endless reviews on YouTube, I believe that a Cold Steel American Lawman will best suit all of my EDC needs and at a price I can actually afford. Anyway, I'd love to learn what blade you choose to carry and why. Thanks! :40:

I personally don't like knives. They scare me. Makes me lightheaded just THINKING about being cut. Ugh! But I'm weird like that.

That being said. I carry a Spyderco Persistence. I'd carry something better (my hiking/backpacking/go-bag knife is a Para 2, but I really don't like the idea of loosing or chewing up a +$100 knife for day to day use. So that's why I chose the Persistence. Seems to hold an edge pretty well, cost me $35, so I can go thru 3 or more of them if I have to before I'm at the cost of something nicer.

I carry a Kershaw. Relatively inexpensive, good steel, holds an edge and spring assisted. I don't carry it for self defense as I always have a pistol where permitted. Its a handy tool is all. And I won't be too upset if I lose it or break it. As an outdoorsman who likes remote places, I substitute a Leatherman in those environs.

I hava a CRKT knife that also has glass breaker and seat belt cutter on it. It has held edge well and was reasonably priced. It also has dual locking release to prevent closing on you.

Microtech Ultratech. Kinda pricey, but this is the most reasonably priced Microtech, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. Did I mention it is made in the USA? There are some pretty cool torture tests of Microtech's on Youtube.

I like fixed blades myself. I have a few good folders but I keep going back to fixed.
This is my current hands down favorite although I do frequently go back to a stag handled damascus blade that Greg sent me a long time ago. It's a gem too.

I'll have to hunt up a picture of that one or take one I reckon.



I'd have no issue prying open a car door with this thing.

And since I asked for a smaller version of a larger bowie many refer to it as the bawanna bowie or IBBB Itty Bitty bawanna Bowie.

Almost like being famous or something. NOT.

Please let me interject here (Bawanna being the modest soul that he is):

That's a Himalayan Imports product. Handmade in Nepal. It's referred to by any/all of the highlighted text above. Bawanna was the driving force behind this size/style of the AK bowie being made. If your quick or lucky you might snag one when they come up for sale here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/fo...alayan-Imports

You can read some more on them here:

Truthfully, I have a similar one (mine has an ink pin instead of a toothpick) that is the closest thing to an everyday carry among my knives.

I do usually carry another knife (knives), but what they are varies.
Out and about, away from the house, but not afield (purposely), I'll carry one of these folders. The Sebenza on the left most often gets the nod. I've owned it many years and carried it for a great deal of the time I was on active duty. I'm also partial to the Sanrenmu clone of it (third from the left). It's a very, very good knife at a ridicoulsly low price. Afield, I carry a fixed blade (most often the REKAT on the far right) and a Swiss Army knife (in addition to the key chain one). I like either (or both) of the red handled ones in a photo further down (the saw bladed version being part of a pocket kit).


Around the house, I really like and carry this little, Gerber liner lock that uses utility knife blades:

I also carry a Leatherman Squirt P4 daily, but it's more for the pliers. They are excellent for pulling thorns out of the dogs and myself. The Squirt is pictured with the Sanrenmu below.

Greg

Currently Kershaw spring assisted. I use a knife as a tool every day, but would not hesitate to use it as a weapon if need be. I feel naked without one. I've carried one every day since I was probably 5 or 6 years old.
