Every Day Carry

[XxDrAg0nxX]

I am so curious to know what people in this forum carry around in their pockets.

Thus the topic: Pictures of your EveryDay Carry (EDC)

So to start it off, heres mine...

[TacoDelRio]

Oooh nice SOG knife. Those things with the Seki blades are fantastic!

I usually just carry my Spyderco Endura (plain), Spyderco Harpy (fully serrated), a watch, keys, and my wallet. I hope someday to have a bigass keyring and thousands of keys though, so I can go undercover as an elite custodian operator!

[ZaakM433]

phone, wallet, keys, small gerber folder, sealable pen.

I used to carry a flashlight but I need to get a better one of those before I begin to carry them again.

[a deadly fart]

knives I own.

The items I carry daily. I rotate the four knives on the right but have a preference for the self-waved Endura for quick draw.

As much as I love the zippo I am going to replace it with a plain old bic lighter once the fuel runs out.. I just cant stand having a lighter only to find out that the fuel has evaporated when I need to use it.

[TacoDelRio]

FART: How do you like your Spyderco Cricket? Looks like a great little knife!

[XxDrAg0nxX]

adeadlyfart: whats that black thinggy in that little plastic bag?

and isnt that a half leatherman micra? wont it open on its own whilst in the pocket?

[a deadly fart]

The Cricket is a sharp little bugger. When I was without a shaver in my college apt for a week I used it to shave as it just arrived in the mail that week.

The black plastic bag thingy is my eyeglass whipe cloth. The half leatherman micra is just opened for viewing and has a pretty tight fit.

Spyderco is also coming out with the spyderco spin that is similar to the cricket.

[TacoDelRio]

Thanks for the link. It looks good! I always like having a small, very sharp plain blade knife for stuff.

[wiking]

wallet, phone, SOG Flash 2, lighter, tobacco + rolling paper

that's about it

[XxDrAg0nxX]

Hmm it seems currently 5/5 of us here carry at least 1 blade with him...

[Scottie]

why does everyone seem to carry knives as EDC???

I have: Wallet, Keys, Ipod and Mobile.

but if i felt threatened i'd probably just bring my Swiss Army Knife:

[TacoDelRio]

I know I'm probably a wannabe or whatever for carrying a knife (who cares), but it's the best tool aside from myself and training, that I can use to defend myself, as CCW's are hard to get here in Los Angeles County. Better safe than sorry.

That, and I cut shiit, stab stuff, open things, etc with a knife on a daily basis.

I too have an iPod (nano), but I don't carry it everywhere, as it's fragile (survived a fall off a mountain though :)). Ditto with my cell phone, as I'm a frickin' loser and nobody calls me unless it's my boss or something.

[Scottie]

Hehe... yea there is no violence here where i live... so it's nothing for me to worry about...I am a 'get your hands dirty' boy, but the thing is where i live there is no dirt... so I don't really need a knife to cut and stab things... ;)

[TacoDelRio]

Well I don't get dirty around here unless I go into the desert or mountains, so my EDC knives usually see such dangerous work as slicing meat/cheese/food, stirring chili cans, opening letters, prying things open, etc.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/TacoDelRio/GroupPhoto.jpg
I usually carry the Spyderco's in the picture (the three silver ones). Fixed blades and the large folder at the bottom (Lone Wolf expensive-ass knife) are a bit friggin' bulky for normal daily stuff and work, but are great in the mountains.

Don´t have any digi-cam.

[wiking]

Seems like we're all well armed here :)

No one who carry a gun though. Yet atleast.

Also have a Benchmade Snody neck-knife, but haven't really carried it much yet. Looks cool, but for now i like the Flash 2 better.

Might get a SOG mini-pentagon though.

The new SOG trident would be a better choice... its also has assisted opening and has an extra slit in the handle for rope cutting.

[TacoDelRio]

DRAGON,

I have the Trident. "The groove", as that slot is called, is useless for 550 cord, which is incredibly common in the military world. "The groove" gets caught on my pants pocket lip constantly. I don't like "the groove".

However, after owning a SOG Flash 2 camo, I like the trident more, with the clip-point blade, plain (no serrations), it had alot more cutting use than the half serrated model.

[a deadly fart]

the "groove" is meant more for rescue work.. ie cuttign seatbelts and clothing without risk of the pointy end of the blade injuring the patient. For cutting rope serrations is the way to go. As for folks carrying a gun I dont understand the need for a gun as it is just a whole can of legal worms waiting to come out. Then again I live in California, San Francisco no better.

[TacoDelRio]

I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun. I'd rather have legal troubles than die, all else aside. Dying sucks.

I bet $500 the groove on my SOG won't cut a seatbelt.

[Jack Bauer]

My name is Jack Bauer, and this is what I carry every day, except those days that I carry something else:

Wallet with a few C-notes

[TacoDelRio]

Hi Jack (don't say that in an airport).

How'd you break your ipod nano?

Also, I suggest upgrading from Dentyne Ice, to the more tactical Dentyne Mint extreme. Less wrapping acoustic signature upon deployment of gum.

[Jack Bauer]

I was just minding my own business and listening to some of my favorite Canadian cowboy tunes when some idiot terrorist shoots me. Luckily the nano was in its metal case in my shirt pocket and it took the bullet for me. There was some nasty bruising but that was about it.

I get Dentyne Ice free as part of a marketing campaign. Why spend money on gum when they pay you to chew a specific product, right?

Jack Bauer says: "Use Blistex! It keeps your smacker purdy even while you are cutting off eyelids!"

That was my shameless plug for the day.

Well, i had to be high-speed like the rest of you and get a pic.

Wallet, knife (on a lanyard, don't want to loose it), phone, tobacco, papers, lighter, chap stick (my lips get awfully dry this time of year) and a leatherman i rarelly carry.

[TacoDelRio]

Wiking,

+1 on the knife choice. I beat the living sh*t out of my Flash 2. Used to throw it alot. I sold alot of them by showing people how strong they are.

Can't go wrong with a SOG folder, ESPECIALLY the X-ray's and others using SEKI steel blades from Japan. My favorites!

it's a nice knife, but technically it's illegal to carry one. Some day my knife(s) are going to get me arrested and charged with illegaly carrying a weapon :) but i honestly intend to keep on the right side of the law, and dodge the coppers if i can.

[crinkler]

I have some car keys two holsters and a brown wallet as well :) No big rambo knives however :( I guess my car keys will have to do in place of a knife.

That Spec Ops brand T.H.E. wallet is a frickin' monster. I use it to carry my hunting license though. It's too goddamn big otherwise.

[SharpShooter282]

Yup, it's big but very useful.... I love it!

[Quantenjaeger]

Moin folks,

lighter and 2 mini permanenet marker, black & red
scale-tape
big carabin (for the "bring-your-own-cup-coffee-to-go-cup")
"Panzertaped" timeplaner
Mini Maglite AA

Victorinox Swiss Tool (simply the best)
Heckler & Koch Tactical Knife (also the best one)

I also have a Siemens M-65 mobile and a Casio watch in camouflage.

And, yes, I DO need a belt! :)

[percell_086]

Let's see,

Well mostly I have the same kit with me:
- Leatherman PST1
- CS-gas
- Inova light
- MP3 player
- Smith and Wesson neck-knife
- wallet ( attached to belt)
- keys
- small book wih pencil in waterproof bag
- watch cap


God, I'd love a CCW but I live in a *censored**censored**censored**censored*ty country

[TacoDelRio]

Quantenjaeger, is that a duct tape wallet? If so, 100 points for you!

[Quantenjaeger]

It's not the Wallet that is ducktaped, but my time planer.
I attached a little notebook and some kind of ducktape pocket, for cards and stuff...

the wallet is an eagle creek product in a limited colour.

[Anthony91]

I always carry my Cell Phone, iPod, Windows Mobile Treo PDA, House Keys, my wallet [usually has $15 or $20 bucks always], my pick [for my afro] and a lolly pop.

[Randomrokottaja]

I don't carry any knives, firearms or other sexy things but:

-Keys + kubotan
-Phone
-Wallet
-Watch

-Laptop computer, home <-> work.

No need for more stuff to carry.

[TacoDelRio]

I agree. Knives are completely over-rated.

I just tear at stuff with my now-bloody fingertips. ;)

[Randomrokottaja]

I don't get the point of carrying various n+1 knives every day.

Need for a one pistol can be well explained in many countries and places but more knives than just one... A couple of them for both hands?

[a deadly fart]

I keep a small one for the sheeples and the larger one is a "tool" as well but if I think my life is in jepordy then I wont hesitate to use it. Then again I'm a knifeaholic so I make up all kinds of justification for more knives.

Pretty much.

If I'm going into a place where I can get lost (mountains, desert, downtown LA, etc), I'll often times carry a fixed blade or large folding knife, as form personal experience, a small pocket knife, however "modern", metro******, or gentlemanly doesn't help you chop a treebranch off, or remove a belt from your engine, do various work on your vehicle such as prying things off, etc etc. Not enough meat there to do it more than once.

I will usually carry a second knife, a mid-size Spyderco that doesn't draw much attention if I "whip it out in public". ;) That way I can open letters, pick my fingernails, and taunt young children without bringing out a bigass knife.

And sometimes I have 3-4 knives on myself just to bother those who heavilly dwell upon the terms of "moderation". :)

[jipman]

keys, mp3, zenith watch...sometimes a gerber multi.

[XxDrAg0nxX]

OMG... everyone here has at LEAST one knife on him...

I wonder why is this a common trait among us here... LOL

For practical reasons... I've got it since my military service and sous-officier school... We learn to have always 1-2 meter of rope with us... We never know what happens...

I've bought my Inova X-5 on wednesday (befor I took my Surefire 6P but it was too big)... But I've got an Inova 24-7, it's very good material...

[XxDrAg0nxX]

yup i love my 24-7 too... mines OD Green... suprisingly bright for a single cell.

Fravouite EDC would be the X5...

I lost my 24/7. It's a good emergency signal strobe if you ever get hurt in the mountains. Gets people's attention, believe me!

Yup, but not the same power...I use Inova as a every day carry and I use a Surefire for work or when I'm with the military

[TacoDelRio]

More reliable? WTF?

I've never had any reliability problems with my Surefires. I've only had dead batteries. THey have been in all weather conditions, immersed in rivers many times, work just fine and dandy. Only ones I don't like are the Nitrolon (plastic) ones, as they leak when wet. Black battery acid doesn't feel good on your hands!

Hmm ok probably wrong word to use.... let me change that to more 'energy efficient'... Nothing to do with the construction of the lights. They are all good.

let me explain what i mean... I am comparing to surfire's LED versions... they drain more battery in the circuit board for the lumen step downs, and i feel rather insecure knowing the regulated LEDs will suddenly cut out when the batts falls below a certain voltage.

While unregulated ones are more direct which slowly dims as it goes along... draining till the last drop of voltage. At least i will be left with some light in the end if i am unable to swap batteries.

[XxDrAg0nxX]

oh and another point.. the Inovas are more simple in design... doesnt poke me when i sit like surefires do...:)

Simple flashlight, but still bright enough for me :)
Dagger issued to the Belgian paracommando's.

Don't carry the dagger all the time, only when i leave the house after 8PM or when I go to Brussels or Antwerp. Also when I go out and have to walk home (most of the time +-1h walk).

Ordered a Surefire G2 & maybe a Gerber AR 3.00 (early birthday present :))
Does anyone have that knife? Positive sides/negative sides?

The dagger is just too bulky to carry under my clothes, normaly i just hang it upside down on my belt or under my jacket.
Would be handy to have a knife that fits in my pockets.

Have to be carefull with the police in Belgium tho. Almost everything that has a blade is forbidden for carryment here. Only thing that is allowed here is a swiss army knife. They can even confiscate a Multitool here, but that depends from region to region.

[j3T.be]

You should stop smoking so you could buy a more decent knife ;p

[percell_086]

The G2 you ordered is a good choice I have it too. If you want a better to conceal knife, buy some sort of neckknife, I have the S&W one, works great.

[Lone]

What do you mean with a 'neckknife'?
You mean something like a simple 'Opinel' knife?

[TacoDelRio]

Surefires do run out faster. If yer in Law Enforcement, a Surefire is good when you need short burst of a sh*tload of light. Maglites and Streamlights are good for extended use, like the way you normally use a flashlight.

Awesome picture, ABNINF. I wish that wasn't partially a picture of me!

Like this one, that's the one that i carry, it's hung from your neck by the chain.

And how many of you are trained in knife to knife combat? :E

More importantly, how many criminals are trained in how to combat a knife-wielding oponent. p-)

That's the buty of a knife, no matter how well trained you are, fighting someone with a knife, you WILL get cut. You just have to know how to attack so that the cut will go somewhere non-lethal.

Most people not trained in that, will try and avoid being cut. That's how you get seriously hurt. :-*$

I carry my knife for a (maybe false) feeling of safety.
When you walk around in Brussels in the subway/train stations or just in the streets after 22pm, you can always run into young crowds that don't always have the best intentions.
I always carry it me since i got beaten the **** out of me in Brussels Nord train station.

Of course you can always carry it for other things. Cutting ropes or other things.

[XxDrAg0nxX]

lol my main purpose is for pratical reasons... a tool to help u cut stuff.

as for lights... i cant see in the dark.

are you sure that during a struggle on the street you would have no doubts about hitting someone with a knife? well I'm sure I would have some. that's why I don't carry with me any deadly weapons "in case if..."

I prefere hand to hand combat or my fast legs when overnumbered by the offenders.


as for the lights, why should I need an artificial light while I spend most of my time in town where everything is already lighten up during nights? and in the countryside I see more without artificial light then with it. just try it in a forest - after a few whiles in the dark your eyes will see everything (maybe not as precisely as with a light but surely wider. with a light you can see only the place where you aim and anything else)

[XxDrAg0nxX]

(maybe not as precisely as with a light but surely wider. with a light you can see only the place where you aim and anything else)

Precisely why i use an Inova X5 flood light.. woot

[percell_086]

~~~~~, I use my knife for practical uses like cutting stuff ( the purpose of a knife.... ) i might use it as a defensive weapon, but not quickly. I'll use my brass knuckles if i would be confronted with a lot of 'bad guys'. I use my light because like some already said; I can't see in the dark. Offcourse your eyes adjust to the dark, but can you find for example a lens in the dark? In the well lit city? ;) I'm one of the only guys carrying a flashlight in my group of friends and they ask me for it a lot. When someone loses something during a party, you're not going to ask to put the lights on are you? ;)

[Lone]

I will always try to be defensive first, but when the other guy(s) is (are) getting aggresive I will do everything do defend myself. Of course i'm not going to draw my knife if someone starts to argue with me, but i know it's there just in case.

[Hawkeye]

percell, arent brass knuckles illegal in our lovely little country?


Yes they are.

I am thinking of buying a
Surefire e2d Defender (http://surelight.de/surefire/surefire_taschenlampen/Taschenlampen/E2d/detail.html)

or the
Armed Forces Flashlight from Böker (http://www.boker.de/index.php?c=18,15,&a=09BO006&p=&pp=0)

Which one would you prefer????

[Adam Wilhelm]

I would choose the E2D.

[herman30]

as for the lights, why should I need an artificial light while I spend most of my time in town where everything is already lighten up during night.
What about if there happens to be a black out? You´re inside a building and electric power goes out? Can be pretty dark at night time.

[Paulinski]

I'm in the process of acquiring necessary items for my EDC.

The usual, wallet, bunch of keys and Spyderco Endura Waved.

I plan to add

1) Surefire L1-H1
2) Emerson Super Karambit BT (to replace the Spyderco)
3) Emerson La Griffe-BT

plus the above.

Cant get CCW in Canada otherwise I'd also carry my Gov 1911.

[Adam Wilhelm]

Good choices.
1) I have a L2 but it´s a little to big for EDC in civvie clothes so a L1 would make an excellent choice. Mucho lumens, long runtime, all that in a very compact size.

2) I have only played with an Combat Karambit but that knife was just evil.
I imagine the Super is even more evil then the Combat. p-)

3) It´s an Emerson... ´nuff said.

[-[Crosshair]-]

Car keys and wallet.

Another problem for me with these digital controlled leds is that they cut off the power TOTALLY when the voltage is low, thus u do not have any light at all.

For the inova, it will still give off a little light progressively till no juice is left in the batteries.. woot

This is probably a dumb question. BUT if someone REALLY was deadset on breaking into someone else's locked object... be it a car, house, etc. Would a picture of the key be enough to make a duplicate? Granted smashing a window would also work but i'm just curious???

I see these threads on some of the knife forums I visit and I can't believe the amount of stuff that some people carry in their everyday lives. Here's one from Blade Forums:

If you include belt pouches and holsters along with pockets, here is what I carry every day. (Last time I posted one of these people looked at me strangely for months...)



H&K P7 M8 & spare magazines
ASP Keyring Defender: blue
Camillus CUDA Maxx 5.5 Bowie

Mini Fox-40 Whistle
First Aid Kit

Sony Clie PEG-T665C
Motorola V70 phone
Citizen SkyHawk Titanium
Spec-Ops T.H.E. Wallet: black



Cargo pockets and a good belt make it easy to carry. Personally the only things I carry everyday are my wallet, my phone, my keys (with a tiny basic model Swiss Army Knife attached to the keychain), and a digital camera.

By the way, here's another example of some guy's Every Day Carry, also from Blade Forums:

1) Why the hell should police "catches" someone? Only if police (cop) has justified suspicion of commited crime (e.g. burglary) he could search (or "catch") a citizen.
2) Is in your countries so strict totalitarian regime of Big Brother so you can not carry a knife? Then God bless Czech republic.

No. As long as they're just normal people who want to be able to protect themselves, I don't have anything against it. I don't like criminals/"gangstas" walking around with guns, but they do, and that's why "some of the people here" carry too.

No.............

[TacoDelRio]

LOL. Yeah..some people walk around as if the apocalypse is going to happen and they're going to need to do some Macgyver/ Bear Grylls **** to survive in the suburbs.

Dude carrying his concealed weapon with extra magazines is definitely some wanna-be cliché survival man ready to take on the 'insta-zombies, just add water' outbreak. I'd probably laugh at the guy with all that crap. Gear queer at its finest.

I carry my phone, keys and my wallet.

Making a point of carrying even less is just as bad as carrying all that crap some knife dudes carry.

My EDC consists of a key, my wallet, my damn Korean phone, and a knife our resident bladesmith Henry's Fork made for me. If I had the $$$, I'd carry a pistol (probably a CZ75) concealed. My neighborhood f*cking sucks, and I'm a poverty-level whiteboy in a city full of guys with "MS" stamped on their forehead.

Oh yes, and if going to school, a condom and a tube of lube for when the financial department f*cks me.

Also, howdy D3ath, you know I don't mean you any harm (unless you got DUBS on dat DuRtY sTaNg!)

My next thought was, lets see a pic of the batman utility belt half of you must be wearing to store all of that gear.

My work day EDC is wallet, keys, phone, watch, polarised eye protection, hard hat, hearing protection, notebook (with density chart, mine IDs, blast hole charge weight table, hole depth/hole diameter tables, explosives and dangerous goods liceneces, truck stats) and pen, leatherman, diary, sunscreen, SPF30 lip balp, electrical tape, paracetamol, paperback, clear eye protection, risk assesment and hazard observation pads, prestart book and product docket book, fly repelant, fly net, water bottle, it all fits into a canvas miners bag, which is basically a very uncool hand bag for burly men.

[StuRat]

Lucky you aren't a burly man then p-)

[Dinges]

As you can see with the wallet , I use something until it falls literally to pieces.

1. I'm medically trained.
2. I'm unmarried.
3. I live in Africa.
4. And I last longer

It's a no-brainer.p-)

Shouldn't carry condoms in your wallet... instead somewhere where they don't get damaged.

Truth.

I wear cargo's at work and leisure. I keep a pocket just for it.

[Wahnsinn]

Wallet, phone, keys and iPod do me when I'm away from home. When I'm at home and out and about in the Cairngorms I will take usually take a knife out with me (don't have a picture for all you knife **** guys, sorry) but living in Britain I can't see the need for anyone to carry a knife day to day unless it is for work. Hell, living anywhere that isn't a war zone, I see no need to carry an offensive weapon of any sort unless you need it for work.

I agree with you on having a knife with you on the island. When I live just outside London my cousin ( also a saffie ) spent a night in gaol because he had a knife with him at Camden Town. In SA we always use to carry a knife with us - hell , I used to carry my 9mm for years - came to the realisation that it was not worth the effort. Especially with our constrictive laws.

The classic "bring a knife to a gun fight".

Edit: We carry a knife not for self-defence but for work (10%) and BILTONG (90%)

[kayaker]

not so long ago it was custom for every man to carry a knife... Sadly those days have gone and ****, Tom and Harry now frown upon anyone taking a sharp tool out their pocket. People see knifes now merely as weapons, never a tool. Even the ordinary squaddy has excuses for not carrying a pen knife! Which makes sizing flannelette interesting.... ;)

I carry a legal, small folder in my pocket and use it at least twice a day, every day. Funny thing is when others see me using it to peel my fruit I receive criticism for carry one yet soon enough I get asked if they can borrow it :-)

"Hey. LT can I borrow your knife?"
"Sure." Hands it over.
SGT uses it to cut WD1 wire and destroys the edge. Hands it back; then I noticed HIS knife in his pocket.
"SGT, why didn't you use your knife?"
"Cause it would have F$@*ed it up, sir." grins the NCO.
Lesson learned by a young 2LT.
