I'm curious what the edc is of my fellow forumites. For me it is the pe delica spydercard and sometimes the military and or ss dragonfly. After four spydies I begin to clink a little ;-) but that is fine with me.

I'm especially curious about what Sal carries.

Delica, PlainEdge, Left/front
Cricket, Serrated, Tufram, IWB/right
Ladybug on keys(sheeple friendly beater)
Wegner jr, 40/60, Right/front
Multi-tool(beater, $20 BreakDown Buddy thing), right hip, horizontal sheath

Soon to be a Q, clip position left/down clipped to back pocket.

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

Buck 307 4 1/4" stockman , and one of my Calypso's ( large plain or serrated , jr. lwt.) daily.
For rough field work I pick a fixed blade or strong metal lockback. The selection depends on
the work being done. I carry / use NO linerlocks. To unreliable and not left hand friendly.

If I'm in the office Calypso Jnr Lightweight (PE). If I'm out on site Military (PE). Large SAK in my work bag.

Out of work, SS Delica (PE) or SS Harpy in rotation. Sometimes suppoted by my Leatherman Wave.

Always have my Ladybug with me on my keys.

BM 735S right front pocket
Calypso Jr, Lwt(plain) right cargo pocket
Leatherman Wave on belt
Busse Badger Attack either on belt or in pack

Sometimes my 50/50 Endura rides along in the left front pocket

I really need to get another Military<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I wish I had never sold all mine, at least I still have my forum one:D

From what I hear Sal carries a Military.

SS Endura plain edge on my left jean pocket.
FRN Delica 50/50 for work.

I go into a few bad spots in my city so I will carry a Military soon to feel safer. Maybe I will carry a Ladybut on my keys but I dont like to carry to many knives at once.

I have a ,Rookiell ,Dragon fly, ,and an endura PE, 50/50 and serated. But the one that ends up in my pocket the most is the 50/50 Endura. Had to change my inventory sold some and traded some trying to raise money for NATIVE SS and an ENDURA 50/50 SS and hopfully Endura red.

Always my Harpy on my keys and usually a Starmate in a neck sheath. Now if I could find a good deal on a Chinese Lum it would ride in my left pocket.

Wow, haven't seen many people who carry the Case copperhead, good to know I'm not too unique <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. When I'm working, I have the Endura, a Buck 450, and a Case Wharncliffe 2-blade copperhead.

The Buck is the worker, the Endura is a knife I just love to carry, and the Case is a dressy knife I always have in case I take off the other 2.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Every other week I carry an 8A 50/50 Endura at work. I often carry our Spyder edge G-2 Native in one of my concealment vest, when off duty. There's always a Gerber Multi-plier on my belt, and a med., or large Stockman in my other pocket. A Victorinox Midnight Manager 2 rides on my keychain. RKBA!

My daily carry rotates between a FRN Calypso Jr, a micarta Calypso Jr, an aluminium Centofante Jr, a Chinese Folder and a CF Dragonfly, all plain edge. One of the most pleasant parts of dressing for the day is getting out the knife roll and choosing the right knife for the day's activities <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

I also have a Leatherman Micra on my key-ring.

These days it's a PE Native set up for right hand carry and use, and a PE Calypso jr. ltwt for left hand use and carry. The Calypso may be replaced by my newly acquired Blue PE Delica though. It's even more sheeple friendly.

This question comes up pretty regular on both forums. I always have trouble answering. I must be fickle. I really don't have an overriding favorite. I try to carry according to my activities. One of the good/bad things about having a large selection of Spydies to choose from.

I really enjoy carrying one of my &quot;matched pairs&quot; ie: lg/sml Wegner are great when camping/hunting/fishing, butt then my serrated Military and Moran are just as capable, serrated Calypso and plainedged micarta Jr is another fav pair and beautiful too, as is the Centofante pair in the same configuration. I think I'll be carrying this new serrated tufram Cricket also maybe paired with the plain Viele.

Pressed hard to grab only one out the door, it would be the G10 Harpy if I'm working or the Calyso Jr micarta if playing.

That's today that is. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I carry a Matriarch or Civilian in right side pocket sitting infront of my Gunting, have a spydercard in my wallet, used to have a native/harpy in left pocket but use the gunting as a everday cutting tool now, so its replaced the native.

I always have my Snap-it on my car keys, by Ladybug on my house keys, my Spydercard in my wallet, and my Provenator for a money clip (clip is worth more than what it's carrying [:-)]), then I rotate my Calypso Jr, and Endura SS in my right front pocket, depending on where I'm going. And If I'm going shooting, I carry a LWT Endura in my left front pocket.

I usually carry BM705BT.
In terms of spydies, I used to carry Wegner jr. for a long time, but I can't carry a linerlock now that I have an axis and an arc lock ... I do carry my Native sometimes when I'm in mySpydie mood <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Other optins are:
mini SOCOM
SOG PE14

Did I miss something, or am I only one on three pages of posts that carries a Starmate? Go get this knife; it rocks. Also have a Ladybug on my keys, and a Victorinox Rambler in my change pocket-that nearly useless pocket about the right main pocket on Levis now has a purpose!

Its all fun and games til somebody loses an eye, then its fun annd games you can't see.

I have a SS Harpy that I use as a money clip, and a titanium handle Lum tanto tip down I carry in my right front pocket. Working on getting a carbon fiber Civilian for my pocket at work, since my fire station is in a pretty nasty area and I'd like something a little more user friendly and threatening in a pinch than the Lum...

They actually PAY me for this??
