What's your favorite EDC combination (MT-SAK-Knife)

[edap617]

At present this is my fave EDC combination, Wave-Huntsman-Delica.

What's yours?

[EZ822]

Lately I've been EDCing a LM Kick, a Vic Camper and a SRM 704 folder with the Style PS on my keys.

[Sean]

I'd not likely carry all three at once but two of them anyway.  But if I did it would be a
Charge, Executive and a Delica.

[turnsouth]

Normal work carry is a Wave and a Vic Classic

If I'm carrying the Core, I'll also have a Leatherman C33Lx, and the Vic Classic.

Although lately I've been carrying the LM Style CS in place of the Vic Classic, and really liking it.

[82brutus]

It's topics like this that reinforce why I love this forum.  I've been feeling guilty because I've been carrying a tinker or hiker, a kershaw tanto zing and either a lm fuse or spirit x.  My guilt stemming from having three items, but now I see I'm not alone.  Thanks!!!

At the moment I'm EDC-ing

- LM Wave
- LM C33T
- SAK Manager

[Reinier]

SwissTool + CyberTool 34 + Classic

That may change into this in the near future:

Spirit X + CyberTool 34 + (Midnite) Manager

A CT29 would be OK too, toolwise, but I don't like the fact that the bit driver blocks the main blade's nail nick

Vic. Spirit X , Mini Champ , Strider PT . Will do it all . A MUT and an Emerson get into the mix sometimes .

Charge - Handyman - Monarch

I'd like to see those Strider pics.... Just to have something to  over.... 

It's IMHO awesom knife, but the price is waaay over my league... Though I heard that there is a discontinued Buck - Strider, and that it can be found for reasonable price...

[sawman]

A SwissChamp and Classic SD work fine for me 

[tattoosteve99]

Black alox explorer, sog power lock, sog mini auto.

[AimlessWanderer]

Swisstool CS Plus (bag), Fenix PD20 with Deluxe Tinker (FL pocket), Byrd Wings Slipit (FR pocket)

This is now the standard by which I judge all my combos, and the most frequently varied item is actually the SAK. Sometimes it's Vic Tourist, Wenger Traveller, SOG PPP, Juice XE6 or CS4.

I am planning on trying more combos more often now after I survived a month with my least favourite alternative. I've also got other otions to try out now

And here I thought I would see a Pulse or Kick in one of those combos

Sadly the Buck/Strider is very pale compared to a real Strider. They are pretty pricey , got my PT in 05' beat it up pretty bad , still looks the same , lockup still like a bank vault . I used to have a bunch , but now I only have a PT and an SNG . The PT is a small package that performs like a big dog !

Chris

[cerbera147]

When I need to be legal I carry my Spyderco UKPK, Leatherman Juice KF4 and my Vic Compact 

When I have 'good reason' to carry locking blades, etc. I'll still carry the UKPK with my Leatherman Camo Surge, the Vic Compact and my Rat RC-4 fixed blade or Mora 2000

I heard that about Buck, poor mans Strider LOL... Yup I know that PT is smallest, yet hard enough to kick a** to many other folders!

And here I thought I would see a Pulse or Kick in one of those combos   

 

I've actually started playing with carrying different combos at the moment to establish a few alternatives which work for me. The Kick has been modified but still needs a tweak or two (awl grinding from long driver and and clip de-wobble) and will be entering the rota very soon hopefully Instead of having the SAK and PD20 riding together on a P7 clip and having the Byrd in the other pocket, the plan is to try having the Kick in one pocket and having the PD20 (or a shiny 4Sevens light) and a SRM H02 knife (on route) riding in the other. Looking forward to trying that 

The Roundhouse ^TM (an almighty Kick) 



The Pulse and I did not get along at all unfortunately, and it has now moved on to someone who will appreciate it more. I really tried to get into it, but couldn't. The biggest problem was the fact the locks are on one side only instead of symetrical, so and found it wasn't too bad on some tools but a major PITA (for me) on others    I'm also not one to keep tools for the sake of it. I like to feel that all my tools can be used and enjoyed, but we had a clash of personalities on that one. It was tempting to "tweak" it somewhat, but I figured taking an icon like that out of circulation when so many other people want one would be cruel.

The KF4 and Compact does sound like a bloody good pairing mate.  (I have a KF4 and Timekeeper). I was tempted to try pairing a Mini and Compact but the Mini doesn't have a lanyard attachment point AFAIK which is a deal breaker for me on small tools

The Pulse...It was tempting to "tweak" it somewhat, but I figured taking an icon like that out of circulation when so many other people want one would be cruel.

Yea, I'm thinking that there would have been a great disturbance in the Force if a Pulse had been tweaked.

I was tempted to do the same to a Sideclip too, but feared the wrath of AHB


(Don't tell Allan, but that's not 100% abandoned yet - SHHHH!!!)

I usually carry my blast along with a folding box cutter at work, and a SAK spartan in my pocket.  I recently added a LM c33x to the mix.  An opinel replaces the sak sometimes.

[kirk13]

My edc is now LM Bladeless Fuse,a SAK(usually my Astronaut),a miniMT(usually some sort of Clutch),Taylors EyeWitness slippie(yes from Neils giveaway),and a Midnight Manager.

I used to carry the Wave(I did again during the London Riots),but the Fuse keeps me well on the right side of the law

Recent weeks have seen me get SOGs(pair of PPPs,and a Paratool),Wenger MiniGrip,and now a Gerber on its way,so theres some varity coming in the future

Sorry to completely change the subject, but is that a southern hunters badge in your avatar.

[ironraven]

I've got a couple *grins* I'm hard to make happy.

LM Supertool (origional model) + Vic Compact, or LM PST + Huntsman. Either of those pairs with a LM Squirt E4 for the strippers and precision pliers, and either a Gerber AR 3.0 or a Ka-bar Mk II.

Alternatively, the Ka-bar, a Fieldmaster, a pair of dedicated pliers, and a pair of 3" hemostats. There are times when you really do need real pliers.

This thread needs more photos.

My latest favorite combo is an LM Crunch and a Vic Huntsman. Very little tool redundancy and tons of potential 

[Grant Lamontagne]

At present this is my fave EDC combination, Wave-Huntsman-Delica.

What's yours?

LOVE that purple Delica!

Thank you, Def.

For pocket carry, I have a Style CS and a neutral white Quark Mini AA on my keychain.

What I keep in my bag varies.  Up until recently it was a Quark 123^2 on an 18650 body, a Tenacious, and a Swiss Champ.  Right now it's my Zebralight SC50w+, my Octane, and an Outrider.

I've been jonesing bad for a Dragonfly 2 for pocket carry, and a Crunch to keep in my bag though...  Once I get those, I'll probably swap out the Crunch for the Octane, and keep the Dragonfly 2 clipped in a pocket.  I often pocket carry my SC50w+ clipped in a pocket as well.
