Favorite EDC Knives - The one you love but rarely carry and the one you carry the most often!

[Joe13]

Anybody have a good recommendation on a fixed blade pocket carry? I'm interested in something in the 2" range.

Boker is coming out with a few that might fit that for you. I've seen some of the ones they brought out at the blade show recently.

Any love for the Microtech OTF?

They're fun toys , and a great way to waste money.
I own a couple. Definitely wouldn't use it for anything I want a real knife to do.
Having said that, I've used them as a steak knife.

I drank a $50 Pinot from a McDonald's cup and used a mag light to push the cork in.

You have plenty of pockets.
Fill em up

Yeah one is enough. I carry too much other crap.

EDC is a buck 110 auto on the belt.

Kershaw fan myself.

Carried the same Blur for 14 years before it became too sentimental to risk breaking so it got retired to a display case and replaced with something I won't think twice if it is the first knife I break.


I've heard a lot about the yearly sale but have never been and I've heard the line can get insane these days so I'd want to go with someone with some experience one day rather then jumping in the deep end.

The Blur is one of their popular models . Good all around knife . Prices on knifes have gone up in recent years including the sale . At the sale after 3 on Friday and Sunday day seems to be lightest .

I've a bunch of cool flippers, assisted folders, switchblades and expensive OTFs, but all I carry anymore are Swiss Army pocket knives. The screw drivers and awl get used more than the knife.

Even used the tweezers last night to pull a thorn out of my dern foot.

I have a few but lately my favorite is the Microtech MSI.

 

[MikeInOr]

My favorite is the Kershaw Leek. But I carry the OLITANS T012 scalpel blade knife the most. I do stuff with the scalpel blade that I would never do with my nice pocket knives then just put a new quality blade on for about $1. When I bought the OLITANS Kershaw didn't make an equivalent knife.



I like Kershaw knives and would probably buy one of their scalpel blade knifes if I bought another.


Some where I have an decent but not really high end automatic knife. I found that I prefer the assisted opening knives to the automatics.

EDC is SOG Terminus with S35VN blade steel. I like the locking system.

 

[dplev4]

EDC is mostly a Benchmade Mini Reflex or Quiet Carry Vanax Drift if I'm on the water. Favorite is my Spyderxo Paramilitary 2 which I just. don't carry much due to its size.

Picked up a new Civivi d2 mini praxis from Amazon for $29. Been carrying it lately due to small size. Civivi d2 knives have been incredibly good at holding a sharp edge for a long time and this one has been no exception. Sold my spiderco hap40 knife that costs 10 times as much cuz Civivi d2 was better.

Amtac Minuteman inside the waistband on my "weak side" which is specifically for defense and a Benchmade 916 folder in my pocket for utilitarian purposes.

 

[mattmcg]

Love the Colonel Blades Folder fighting knife as it's small, and provides a natural fighting stance that certainly has your opponent questioning their decisions in life.

But the one I carry more often is an Emerson CQC-10BT with the wave feature and love that thing. Useful for just about everything and the presentation using the "wave method" is intimidating beyond belief!

Good discussion!
