Do you carry knife or multi-tool or both or knife multi-tool and atwood

Me right now multi tool and knife and atwood.

Knife and multi, because I'm not an irresponsible spender. XP

knife and MT

ducktapehero · **Reply #3 on:** September 03, 2009, 04:54:45 AM

Usually just a MT, either pliers based or a SAK.

prime77 · **Reply #4 on:** September 03, 2009, 04:56:00 AM

Knife and multitool for me.

I go through phases, but lately just my Wave, clipped all the way to the left of my left front pocket so it won't open. I hate the feel of anything in my pockets, so it's more comfortable then carrying one of my slippies. Plus, it does anything a knife can, plus a whole lot more, you know? Right now, I am not seeing any benefit in my carrying a knife with my multitool.

At work it's a Multi and a slippie, but everywhere else it's usually just a sak

Whatever happened to your minimalist philosophy?

Thought you were going to carry just a simple slipjoint like a Case Sodbuster Jr. which you said could handle just about all your needs, including survival. Then you were experimenting with carrying just a Vic keychain SAK.

Carrying a LM Wave isn't very minimalist. ;>

knife & multitool

Tinnie · **Reply #9 on:** September 03, 2009, 08:40:54 AM

I don't have an Atwood...though would like to get a Prybaby or Atwrench when one is available in BST.

So it is a MT and knife for me

Knife (Spyderco Tenacious) and multi (SOG PPP). Where are our maners? Welcome aboard ssmtbracer!

WhichDawg · **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2009, 11:07:19 AM

sak mainly
and are atwoods that inexpensive now we can all afford them (even the wog)?!

Benner · **Reply #12 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:17:00 PM

why carry a knife when most multis already have a good knife

Better steel, OH opening, better ergo's, better suited blade size for task, different grind options, different edge options, different tip options...

I never use a knife on a MT, so that's why I have a knifeless Fuse.

I got it

As for me I have gotten used to using the blades on my MTs, I usually EDC the Charge, SURGE or the Skeletool so no problems with OH opening

Benner · **Reply #17 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:40:26 PM

I can see why some wouldn't with a Charge or a skeletool for example, but I much prefer carrying a dedicated OH blade as it probably sees 90% of the work that I use my EDC stuff for.

Because I carry a GREAT knife and a MT ( have not found the GREAT MT yet - still looking ).

Sean · **Reply #20 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:27:47 PM

We've had a record breaking year (literally) in Western Canada this summer. The heat has seen us wearing shorts for most of it.
I've stuck strictly with knives and lite one's at that. But today is raining and quite a bit cooler. September is here and the leaves are starting to turn and fall.
It's just about time to dig out the multi box. I think I will start when the new XE6 arrives from Dennis.

I carry a MT/SAK and Atwood (so I picked MT,Knife and Atwood).

The Atwood is my go to for quickndirty (opening boxes etc) but if something needs careful disassembly, I go to the MT/SAK (Cybertimer for the time being).

David Bowen · **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2009, 10:37:17 PM

I usually just carry a one hand opening knife (today was a Buck Sirus) and a Atwood or two (today was the G3 Prybaby and a Nibble), sometimes I replace the knife with a tool or carry a knife and a tool but not always since I often have one nearby.

Anthony · **Reply #23 on:** September 04, 2009, 12:00:43 AM

Knife and tool; Spyderco Waved Delica and SOG Powerlock.

I'm kind of pissed I got that Spyderco as my first "real" knife...I love the wave feature and not many knives have it

I'm still on the lookout for the right Waved Emerson at the right price...

Sean · **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2009, 12:58:36 AM

Does the waved Delica not work all that well?

Anthony · **Reply #25 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:12:52 AM

It works great, I love it...that's why I never bought another folder! There are waved Delicas and Enduras for Spyderco, and there are a lot of emerson knives with that feature, but they are pretty expensive.

jzmtl · **Reply #26 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:21:56 AM

I just use zip tie when I want wave.

I started carrying an MT with a knife (Swiss Tool and Rucksack) before there was an OH MT.

Then Leatherman came out with the Wave and I was interested about the idea of just carrying an MT
but realized I would still have to carry a SAK for the toothpick and tweezers (before Swiss Card).

So since then it hasn't changed.

Shane769 · **Reply #28 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:18:50 AM

I only carry a multi on me usually... but I think that ONLY is kind of the wrong word to use, especially when it's the Surge! in question!

PyroJames · **Reply #29 on:** September 04, 2009, 03:58:07 AM

I usually just carry a knife if I'm going out for a short time. If I'm wearing my backpack or EDC bag, I'll definitely have a MT with me.
