Thread: EDC Knife

I carry a Spyderco Military. FWIW Mark (JMS) has the nicest collection of classic style pocket knives of anyone that I have seen, and I assume he gets a lot of use out of them on his ranch that he was kind enough to let me visit.

Huh...I thought you were touring the place to buy it!?

Thank you!
You are welcome anytime!

I just discovered mine is a tactical folder. Never knew what that meant.

The Spyderco Delica is always clipped to my right pocket.
For me it's the best knife:

a) the clip means I always know where it is, and I can take it out with 1 hand.
b) I can open it with 1 hand while I am holding something.
c) I can close it and put it away with 1 hand
d) ATS55 stainless steel and plastic -> very low wear, and no problems with moisture etc.
d) the size is just right. It fits my hand, and it is small enough that it is not immediately regarded as a weapon.


Europe is kinda intolerant to weapons, and carrying a knife is a bit of a grey area. If I were to carry this on a social event, it would probably confiscated as a weapon upon inspection, whereas a swiss army knife with the same blade length wouldn't be looked at twice.

you should have added a box cutter to the list. I never go anywhere without ny kobalt folding box cutter. When its dull or a blade breaks I just put in another

And what fun is that, I ask?

Spoken like a true Mach3 user

ok bruno no need to get insulting! the wife asked for my Gerber to pry open the air conditioning vents the other night and I was glad to hand her that cutter instead. I didn't say it was all I carry just handy.

I'am a balisong (butterfly knife) nut. And I think someone mentioned earlier that butterfly knives are not practical... ouch that hurt!! lol.

The spyderfly is too big of a knife to carry anyway, but a good flipper.

I personally carry the Benchmade Morpho. Outstanding knife.

I know the feeling.
2 days ago I made my wife a seafood salad while we were chatting in the kitchen, using Japanese Kai Shun knife to do the cutting.

I put the knife down to do the washing up, and from the corner of my eye I see her take the knife in one hand and some plastic packaging in the other.
I grab her wrist with a look on my face that was pretty much

I stand there, holding her wrist, looking at her...
And she says 'What? I can't use that knife to open this thing?'
