That is a lovely knife. I think I've just found a daddy day gift
Just a curiosity.
Clearly we all edc a knife.
But why? I'm interested in the thoughts from a range of folk, because we are an international community.

Indeed heh. Feel free to list.
So is it pure utility? Just because you like to? Security? Because the edc you have is somewhat sentimental?

I started with an EDC when one of my internships bought me one. We made automated lubrication systems from a bunch of OTS parts. This required alot of opening packages and cutting tubing, easily accomplished with a decent knife with a good edge. Now, I don't really like having too much in my pockets, so just have various knives in the typical locations where I will need it. Especially since I forgot to leave my best knife at home and had to throw it out at O'Hare. Very late for a plane and didn't have time to ship it to myself from there... It was a gerber fast draw - fine edge, the mechanism does need a little breaking in time, but wonderfully fast and easy one-handed operation. I got the small version for a Christmas present, the quality definitely dropped either between sizes or the 6 years since I received the larger one.
That does suck, always hurts to loose a good knife. I tend to wear my edc in a pouch on my belt as I also don't like to fill my pockets. Come to think of it, a lot goes on my belt besides my belly 😁
