I find myself actually EDCing and using my hacks/mods a lot. It's kind of reassuring that it was a good idea for myself.

Who else does EDC his/her mods/hacks?
Or do they end up being neglected?

Well, I recently modded my LM Wave but am not comfortable about it being my EDC since where I live is a state of emergency (i.e. I may go into trouble if police searches me of it may get confiscated). If this was not the case, it'd be my EDC.

Good point ddogu, and quite an annoing one  :-\
Basically it's not ok to carry a Wave openly in Ireland either.
Concealed in a bag or so it is ok if you're a Handyman at/to work, or for recreational purposes.

Nice one Matt - that's when you know you've done a good job!

I always carry either of my two bladeless MP400's, and while I'm currently carrying My Das VolksMesser SAK, I also carried my Greenwood for a loooooong time, and will do again, and same goes for the BuSchroder.  :like: One of my mods ( a Passenger with in-line awl and yellow scales) is currently residing with El-Corkscrew Stateside, and the only mod I have that I don't regularly carry is my OC red Farmer with hollow rivet, because I'm not quite happy enough with the peening yet.

Currently no.  I did carry my modded Wave for a good while.  My recently modded Surge is not my official around the house tool.  It went right to work the day I modded it.

As most of you know the PocketCrunch
I replaced the blade with the scissors from a LM Wave
And the pocket clip from a LM Kick
I carry this all the time, but not this month
As I am doing the SOG Power challenge

Those are very cool indeed Mag  :like:

I'm currently in the middle of my first SAK mod myself. Adding the Mag/Phillips late to my Compact.
I've found a cheap 90s Explorer as a doner and already extracted the parts and put the rest back together resulting in a Climber then.
Bend the blades to start as best as possible etc.

I had a little crisis reassembling the scissors layer.
But was able to find a reliable way to do it then.



Now it's sitting there​ waiting to be peened, and I'm hesitating  ::)

Regarding the blade, no. The saw, yes. Mosttimes I carry another (much) larger saw as well.

Somewhat more rarely around town (read: practically never), due to OHO and thus potential run-ins with The Law around here:
