My EDC is the Boker Subclaw. I work in an office, so the Subclaw is perfect for everyday use in an place where a larger knife might attract undue attention from others who don't quite share my enthusiasm for sharp things. It's perfect for opening envelopes, blister packs, and shipping boxes... It's a perfect fit for that little top jeans pocket. I carry this thing everywhere even when I'm off work and also carrying a larger primary blade.
When I'm on my own time, I carry my custom bi-tone M1911 knife I had made for my Kimber Ultra CDP II...
I'm not a knife fighter but I try to carry my knife at all times when out of the house. My father drilled into me, from a young age, "carry a knife and your handkerchief." Having both has made my life easier scores of times. At the moment, this is my EDC. Nothing fancy, just a 3 inch locking folder. https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/produ...auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=crop&w=955&h=289&dpr=1
Words of a wise man! My dad said the same thing. He alwways carried a jack knife, handkerchief, and a pocket watch. (Oh, and a roll of fruit flavored Certs that he would place on his dresser in the evening when he took off his day clothes. Every evening, he would put his contents on the dresser as he changed out of his slacks, including the Certs. Thankfully, dad either did not notice, or else never filed charges for all the Certs I stole fron his rolls as a kid, lest I would serve hard time for grand larceny. I must have snarfled ten thousand bucks worth of those tiny little mints over the years of my childhood! ;-) ).
Thanks man. Today I actually have on a real "fighting" knife as in Mini KABAR. Certs! I used to carry those! Until I carried them to India and they melted. Yes Certs melt in India. I switched to chewing gum and later to sugar free chewing gum. I think I'll start a "show us your daily load out thread." Mine may shock some viewers.
My EDC knife...bought two on the road ( TDY ) for the DoD...at different times. One in Seattle and one in Denver. Always bought a good knife and a Zippo Lighter when on travel for the government...have quite a collection.
I had a Gerber LST in my pocket every day for about thirty years before I lost it. I immediately bought another. It's small and light enough to practically disappear in a pocket yet big and strong enough to do real work. I originally bought it for backpacking because of its lightness and complete corrosion resistance but it quickly became my every day knife.
