I'm tired of all this pretty stuff: Let's see your well used edc gear!

[Gadget Guy]

I've seen thousands of edc and pocket dump pictures and most of them have pictures of nice and tidy gear that just came out of the box. I would like to see some well used gear and I want to know how it holds up and why you carry it. So post 'em if you got 'em. 

Here is my edc KF4:

Fixed, thanks Anthony!

Gotta get my camera, my S4 is perfect for this.

My kinda thread! 

I'll get some pics up soon. 

[nuphoria]

Been using that one as a hammer GG?! 

My swiss champ looks a bit like that - wouldn't recommend it with celador scales though!

[Viking]

I like this thread too!  I can't imagine how people can keep the tools they carry every day so shiny and new looking!

 

Here's my knife and mt carry.  I'll have to see if I can get  a complete EDC pic up.

For now:

Here's a few of mine  a Squirt, some Klein linesman pliers and my old orange dead blow. Still using them today.

This is going to be a great thread! I can't wait to see some more pictures of nicely used edc gear. I'll dig up some more stuff as well.

Here's today's:



Casio G-Shock (been covered in concrete, mud, snow, and attic insulation and keeps on going)
Bic Mark-it Retractable marker (I  like this because they are cheap, and it rides low in my pocket)
Leatherman Charge TTi (love this thing.  Use it a couple times a day at least)
Benchmade Mini-Grip 556 (my most used item of my EDC)
Benchmade Tactical Pen 1150-2 (just got this last week.  Love the fisher space pen refills.  Allows me to write on any surface and most importantly, write when it's very cold out)
4Sevens Quark 123x2 (My second most used EDC item.  Love the Quark!  Runs on rechargeable, and I can program a low and high mode without going through dumb beacon and strobe modes.)
Streamlight MicroStream (back-up light, rides in my pouch of my Charge sheath.)

Carried this every day for the past 3 weeks at work. Getting some nice battle scars on it.

My poor Space Pen has taken a number of falls. Dented on the end and scratched, but still lovely.




SURGE ala scratches and dirt. I do keep it fairly clean though, but not like the sparkly ones posted around here.




Marbles Match Safe.. this is the original one. Which is nickel coated brass. As you can see, the nickel is going the way of the dodo.




I tried to capture the dirt on this thing, but I am a poor photographer, and it just didn't show up. Maybe it's the glow plastic.. I dunno. Take my word for it.. the thing is filthy with black grease. You can sort of see it in the full size image on the head of the light. I do wipe it down though, so it obviously isn't disgusting. Like the SURGE, I take care of my tools.





Yes, I EDC dice. I love them. I fidget with them in my hand out of nervous habit like a worry stone, I roll them out solo to kill time, I bring them out when drinking with friends and we all have a shot at Lady Luck. These are rather old to begin with, but I admit to having put my mark on them as well. Covered in fine hairline cracks and scratches, they have seen more bar room floors than the town drunkard. They are like jewels to my eyes.




My little Craftsman pry bar is losing all of its protective coating. It gets abused.

[hawkchucker]

I love the little craftsman bars. I have them stashed in all my bags and cars. It is a handy little bugger.

Why aren't more people posting in this thread?

 

[Magnus]

because most people here buy new stuff so often that it never looks worn? 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

My internet's poo atm, otherwise I'd be posting my particular brand of crappy snap's too
