[prime77]

I've always wanted to get a salt. It's been on my "list" forever. I've just never gotten around to getting one.

[Dunc]

They are very good but the edge is very agressive and can snag . Superb Rescue knife .

Dunc

[prime77]

That's the thing. I really have no need for a dedicated rescue knife. Hey Dunc which will rust first the rustproof salt or the SwissTool 

[Dunc]

Thats a bit like the chicken and the egg 

Dunc

[Benner]

   That is cool!!! 

I always edc the following

Leatherman PST (this will hopefully be changing soon to a KF4-thanks bison  )

Swisschamp or my Wenger SI

Brass Zippo lighter

Fenix P1D CE with the Q5 LED

Fisher space pen

Wallet

Phone

Fenix P2D Rebel
On keyring are a spy capsule lighter, glowring, Sliver Grippers, Vic. Classic, bottle opener blade from an old SAK
Fags

In my 'poncy combat handbag' (SWMBOs words, not mine) are a Space Pen, Juice CS4, P3D Rebel, Zippo & a firesteel. Oh, and more fags.

I have a question for Dunc5. It appears you know alot about search and rescue equiptment and in particular what kind of knives seem best suited for water rescue. For the last five years I have been whitewater rafting and the class of water I am running is getting more and more difficult every year. I have put off buying a dedicated rescue knife that I can clip to the front of my PFD for emrgencies, but I think it is well past time to do so. Anyways, I am very curious what type and brand of knife you would recomend for swifsmurfer rescue situations?

Sorry about changing the subject, I'll post my EDC gear later.

Well I carry a Spyderco Atlantic Salt http://spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=172  But in your case I would try one of these http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=100SH2O  I dont have one myself but like the Spyderco they use H-1 steel that absolutely wont rust ( I promise ) . I would say a fixed blade would be best and I'd like to get a benchmade model one day .Hope this helps .Just ask away if I can be of anymore help .

Dunc

[Leatherman123]

I have 6 benchmade knives, 5 folders and one fixed) and I think they are amazing. Some of the best knives made!

Dunc5 thanks for the info, I will definately look into those.

Back to the EDC stuff, man some of you guys carry a ton of stuff, wow!

Mines pretty basic, the multi-tool changes according to mood on my part, but the rest is the same almost all the time.

[Viking]

Mike D,

Nice stuff!

How do you like your SOG Trident?

[Grant Lamontagne]

Nice little lifeboat keychain!  I'll bet Dunc could use one of those!

[Mike D]

The Trident is first class man, light solid, and fast. Its amazing how quickly you can get the thing out of your pocket and the blade out, its almost become second nature to me. You need to be aware of it though, because more then once someone I know has asked for I knife and I can get it out so fast it kinda startles them. Then the next thing they think is you have a full blown switchblade, so needless to say I have tried to tone it down around people I dont know very well and usually get the knife out of my multi for them instead.

[yellowhammer]

Got a pic of my keys;



Peanut lighter, SAK bottle opener blade, camo key  , glowring, Sliver Grippers, Classic.

If you think that is fast to open try and Emerson with the wave feature.  That is the fastest opening knife that I have ever owned switchblade included.

[Tom Munch]

Or a Spyderco with Wave or anything waved for that matter.

[CQC-7]

Good point.

[jay_imok]

what is a "chemical cork?"


do i need some?

wherezigonnagit'em?

[edap617]

These are my EDCs:

LM P4          - For light jobs such us tightening eye glasses screws
LM Wave      - For heavier jobs
LED light       - In case there is power failure in our area
SAK             - In case I need twisser and tooth pick
Memory stick -To copy and transfer my important computer files from one computer to another
Celphone      - to call my wife whenever I feel the lonelines and emptiness anytime of the day

I may sometimes forget to bring my wallet but not my EDCs listed above.

[Viper]

If I don't want people thinking it's a switchblade, I open my Trident with both hands, so the worst that could happen is they would get confused about why I used two hands when it was a one-hand opening... nubbin?

I usually EDC some SOG knife (lately it's been the Twitch II) and a Powerlock.
Besides knives and tools, I EDC my cell phone, my wallet, a memo book, and a pen or pencil.

Why?
SOG knife- for cutting jobs
Powerlock- for any other job
Cell Phone- if I need to call someone
Wallet- to hold my school indentification and spare money
Memo book- so I don't forget ideas that I have away from home, it's a neccesity for any writer (I'm a writer, btw)
Pen or Pencil- so I have something to write with for my memo-book

Sometimes I also carry around a Kelly mouthpiece because they are light, and I can practise buzzing when I'm on the bus, walking home, etc.

Ill try to post pictures later, but as you guys have probably figured out by now, I'm bad with pictures. I'm not even camera-friendly. I can't take good pictures, and the pictures I do take I usually take a while to put them up!

[jock1]

IMI DESERT EAGLE IN .50 AE
RUGER GP100 .357 BACK UP
SOG PENTAGON
SWISS TOOL
Ha I wish, I routinely carry a Swiss Champ on a belt pouch or a Wenger Toolchest plus it's so big I had to cut down a full sized knife pouch to fit ,it's worth it as the tools are a bit more robust for outdoor stuff ,a basic first aid kit, 2AA min-mag l e d,fisher bullet pen and a few pounds in change
I am rather low tech and can't quite manage to post pictures

[Roadie]

Here's mine.
Paladin PT510 - one of my 2 legal EDC's
SAK Climber - a nice addition to anybody's pocket
Maglite w/1W Nite Ize - Only taken when i have a bag...which is pretty much every day!
Nokia 5140 - Bullet proof phone, has survived many a drop (i once dropped it in a shop and it bounced right back up and i caught it, hadn't missed a beat in 2yrs.
Wallet - held together with gaffa tape but i like it!

[jay_imok]

....Celphone      - to call my wife whenever I feel the lonelines and emptiness anytime of the day

that's a really nice thing to say - hope she's always there for you
