EDC knives?

[LaP]

It's been said that most gun-people are also knife-people. So, what's in your pocket?

I rotate 3 folders for my EDC. First up is a Hogue EX01 with a 3.5" blade of 154CM steel. It's got a button lock and a slide safety. Designed by Allen Elishewitz. This is my Go-To knife.
Next up is a Spyderco Manix 2. A 3.5 inch blade of 154CM steel wrapped in nicely gimped G10 handles.
The final knife is a 0350 Zero Tolerance 3.25" assisted opener. This stout blade is made of S30V steel and is built like that famous brick outhouse.

With each knife I get different advantages and trade offs. Each one rides in my left hand pocket (NOTHING else is in there but the knife) I consider them to be backups for whatever pistol or revolver I'm toting around.
Someone once said "A knife never runs out of ammo." They give me a handy tool and another option for self defense.

So, what's hiding in your pocket?

Too much stuff in my pockets already so this days I'm carrying a lightweight Kershaw Skyline and sometimes my ESEE Izula.

It's little but much more useful than it looks. The knife is little and useful too.

The M21-04G by CRKT with a 4 inch nitride coated spear point, flipper activated, hollow ground, "v" edged blade, 4 point carry G10 handle. Also in my left pocket with nothing else.

LaP,

Looks like you are a fan of the drop point blade shape unless the Hougue is a tanto style. You are right, each blade has something different to bring to the table. Havent found the one perfect knife that has it all for me.

Better get on this or Jfootin's sarg will mess you up.

If I could get the attachment to work, I would post the picture.... but, NOOO. It won't copy it. Yes I did look up the help thread on posting pictures. I just can't seem to do it.

I've got my fingers crossed. Here it goes.

[knkali]

you did it!

Always liked the sypderco.....they do it right from the multifunctional blade shape to handle shape ergonomics to the jimping. Always wished they had more clip mounting positions though. I am not good with quick opening with thumb studs or holes unless assisted opening is there to help.

I like the deep belly on the top knife's blade (cant remember the name of it sorry). That generates extra edge speed when cutting and looks bad *** too.

Please rate them for me as to which is your most favorite to least and why.

I'm a total slacker when it comes to taking along a knife and light. Fixed that this weekend so hopefully my Benchmade mini Stryker will be with me more frequently. At least it will be when I am wearing pants with a cargo pocket.

I thought the mini stryker was discontinued. How old is that blade? Is that model an assisted opener?

BTW where was that knife made?

CRKT Sting fixed blade blade is 3 3/8" long . I got sick of carrying a knife in my pocket never seems like I could get it out fast and it was always in the way every time I reached in my pocket for anything other than the knife. The sting goes in a nylon covered plastic sheath that the knife snaps into .It came with a thigh rig but I adapted it to go on my belt from parts of the rig.
