How do you EDC 7+ layer SAKs?
on: April 19, 2018, 10:14:34 AM
This is physical abuse of a diseased equine, but we have a culture for rehashing stuff over and over and over again, so here goes: I generally EDC just a Spartan myself, but I do know a lot of you guys carry 7 layers or more. So, to those of you who find the heavier SAKs comfortable carries, how do you do it?

In the bottom of my pocket, until I get sick of the weight (normally a few days) then it goes back in the drawer (or my backpack).  I don't like danglers and can't bring myself to wear a belt sheath.

You know we're all inveterate EHB's (Expired Horse Beaters) here Steiner!

My method for any SAK I'm carrying is a belt dangler - anything from an SI to a Swisschamp feels comfy on a dangler.

Dangler for my three layer EDC whenever it goes in my pocket, too.  :tu:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Of muscle, I presume, for carrying those big SAKs.

I have edc'd a Swiss Champ since they first came out.

Most of the time I carry mine in a denim pouch vertially in my left front pocket next to a Leatherman Super Tool 300 that is also in a pouch.

The other carry I use is shown in the picture......I sew a denim pouch on my jeans between the right front and right rear pockets....if it is for a Swiss Champ I would make it shorter than the one in the picture....that one was for a Buck 110.

I don't have baggy pants pockets and there are already two sets of keys, flashlight and MiniChamp split between both pockets. If it fits into a slip case or pocket sheath, it goes into my pocket. One layer, most two layer and some three layer fall into that category, especially the 84mm. Everything else goes onto my belt including all the four layer and up.

When I was carrying my SC I also just carried it in pocket.  This is around the time I moved my keys to a belt dangler.  I was surprised how easy it was to carry this way.  The keys took of a lot of space and now with them moved to my belt my SC at the bottom of my pocket was a non issue size and weight wise.  Now I carry them in a sheath.  I only every carry them on hikes these days.

I carry a Champion Plus on a suspension clip made from the clip removed from a cheap pocket watch chain, but that's when I need to dress formally, but still need a few tools.  Else, it's in a belt sheath.
