What knife & multi-tool do you edc???

Gadget Guy · **on:** September 04, 2008, 07:59:14 PM

I thought it might be fun to see what knife/multi-tool combo that everyone here uses for edc. I carry a Hinderer XM-18 and Leatherman juice S2. I'll probably upgrade to a XE6 one of these days. Let's try and post pictures if you have them. I'll post my combo pictures a little bit later.

Mods: If there is already a similar thread or if I have posted this in the wrong forum please feel free to edit or move this thread.

Looks like a different angle to the usual EDC threads.

I'll post mine later.

I just carry the one tool these day's

But it used to be a Spydie or Cold steel folder paired with a LM or Sak

I carry a Multi paired with a SAK at the moment its a Buck X-tract,Swisstool and forester.I'm still testing the X-tract.

Never knew you were a Spydie man Mike?

Freudian Frog · **Reply #5 on:** September 04, 2008, 08:25:21 PM

Some random CRKT folder, a Tinker, and Swisstool (optional).

At the moment, I usually carry a LM Kick in my bag paired with a Vic Ranger or Explorer in my pocket. It's more a matter of what I own vs what I think would work best though...

I love the Ranger and Explorer, but I find them a little too big for pocket carry. I am thinking of replacing them with something in Alox, or in the 84/85mm size, or both. Probably a Cadet, Farmer, Soldier, or SI for now.

The Kick is small and handy, but since I am downsizing my SAK, I want an MT with more tools to compensate. I'd really like to try a Charge, but will likely just try to hunt down a used Wave on eBay for now.

I EDC a Victorinox Spirit, paired with a SAK. I don't have a picture of the Spirit, but here are the SAKs I pair it with:

At work, I usually carry my Golfer (with a Cybertool 34 in my briefcase):

At home, I carry a Farmer or a custom Scibeer YoMan (black-scaled knife in second pic):

Hickster · **Reply #8 on:** September 04, 2008, 09:04:49 PM

Skeletool and either a SAK Soldier, William Henry Carbon Fiber handled folder or a Benchmade mini-Griptillian. I gotta get my teenage daughter to post a picture on here for me

prime77 · **Reply #9 on:** September 04, 2008, 09:22:09 PM

For me lately it's a LM Wave and a Benchmade mini-griptillian

I've had a lot in the past when I was still a young man

I don't own any OH folders now

CQC-7 · **Reply #11 on:** September 04, 2008, 10:27:10 PM

Lately I have been carrying a Cabelas Charge Ti. I usually carry that with a SAK or another like my CQC-7 (go figure)

Very sensible with the current laws

That and I kinda moved on from the phase, as they really don't excite me anymore $:-\$

Same here,I only really want a Spydie rescue knife.

Abstraction · **Reply #15 on:** September 04, 2008, 10:44:57 PM

I've always got a climber with me and when i'm going to work i have my Spirit S, they really compliment each other well

reason i only carry my spirit when im going to work is the knife laws, i figure i'm much less likely to be stopped and searched if im looking smart, and i can give a much better and more believable excuse as to why i need a multi on me then.

WhichDawg · **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2008, 10:48:42 PM

for me, either Spirit and OHT or Spirit and StayGlows Spartan (town carry).

CQC-7 · **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2008, 11:01:37 PM

I have never had a problem with town carry here. I carry what ever I want and I have not been bothered yet.

hawkchucker · **Reply #18 on:** September 04, 2008, 11:05:29 PM

This month is the Kick, and my Benchmade Griptillian in D2

Poncho65 · **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2008, 03:58:23 AM

@ work I carry my Blast and a folding utility blade knife ( maybe soon I am gonna add my Crescent Maintenance Pro to this rotation as well

)

out and about I rotate between several MTs

and either a Super or Deluxe Tinker

but thanks to a good friend Nezza I will soon add a Classic to hopefully both my work and out and about EDC rotation

RaptorMan · **Reply #20 on:** September 05, 2008, 04:15:37 AM

Leatherman Sideclip every day every where

I find it to be a very good combination for urban EDC.

Leatherman Charge Ti & CRK Small Regular Sebenza when I'm not at work.

I added my picture to the first post. Let's keep this thread going, great pix everyone!

getpower · **Reply #25 on:** September 05, 2008, 09:09:53 AM

New EDC tools are a Leatherman Surge on my belt (at least until I try it out), a Kershaw Scallion clipped to the inside of my pocket, and probably a MiniChamp on my keychain for the tweezers (I'll have to put it back on tomorrow).

If there is already a similar thread

Work Carry - Vic Squatter & LM PST

Recreational Carry - Vic Waiter & LM Surge

always: Vic Classic. EVERYONE should carry a classic!

I'm slightly concerned about your passion for Black there jzm, but that aside - how do you find the Compact? Scissors on my waiter would make it a force to be reckoned with (scissors and an awl and I wouldn't need the Surge

)
