Thread: EDC Knife

for everyday i carry a little original double blade case. real easy to keep sharp. carry a folding buck in the field, also have a few nice home made knives i carry hunting.

Just recently bought 2 new knives.....Both Kershaw. One at WalMart and the other at a local gunshop. I got the WalMart Kershaw for around 38 bucks. It is a Ken Onion design. It is called the "Needs Work". The name through me off a little. I thought I was getting a repaired knife when I bought it. It has assisted "Speed Safe" opening. Very nice knife. USA made. The other is a Kershaw "Scamp" I got at the gunshop. It is China made, but a nice knife all the same. The thumb stud doesn't work for me. The geometry is all wrong in it's placement. I just snap my wrist to open like I do for my Spyderco. Fast as an automatic. I paid under 20 for this one and it carries the Lifetime warranty like all their other knives. I had to flip the clip on the Scamp though. In doing so I stripped the Hex screw holes out. They must be soft steel apparently. I just slotted the screw heads with the Dremmel and a steady hand. Good as new. I am pleased with both of them.


Here they are:

Back home it's a Spyderco UKPK. Over here it's either a Stryder SMF or an AirKat Condor. The UKPK is just about the perfect EDC for me, it's light and easy to carry. Super sharp and just about perfect in size. Does not frighten people when you pull it out.

The Benchmade Osborne I carried as my second knife has gone missing and been replaced with a small Sebenza.

My everyday is a Kershaw Leek:



This is my secondary everyday in a neck sheath:



I bought this one on my way back to work... I thought I left my leek at home. I'll just put it in my gun tool box.
