My EDC (every day carry)

[Tadbik]

Though we should start a thread of users EDC photos.

Here's mine to start off.

[lemoneyewash]

That's freaky Dave!!!
Mine's almost identical.....except for the light.

[Mr. Bombastic]

Nice. Do you have any particular uncomfortability carrying the larger items such as the firearm, baton and Scorpion at the same time?

I don't like the way Leatherman have made their Wave untinkerable, mine has very stiff blades and all that is needed is a turn of a screw...but instead I'll have to send it in!

Though we should start a thread of users EDC photos.

Here's mine to start off.

Are you being paid by the "Israeli Immigration Council", trying to get new applicants?

I think that on Tuesday (a day off), I'll post a picture of whatever I carried on Monday (normal working day)...

Keith.

[Martyn]

I got the Samsung and the wave, but i just cant seem to find a Walther (hmmm...or is it a S&W?) anywhere in Azda. Anyone know where they keep em?

Oh, BTW Tadbik, check out this site for modifications for your T100:

briefcase contaning two felleskap blades and 7000 Euros in loose change.

Maybe I lied about the loose change...

Keith.

[Nathan S]

Today, for me, is a "light" day in terms of knife carry; I only have my Mnandi with me, along with a Victorinox Rambler that's clipped to my keychain. I often carry more than this, but today just didn't feel like schlepping around a lot of weight.

Along with said knives, I'm carrying: wallet, Arc LSH - P, disposable lighter, cigars (Italian Toscanos), roller pen, cell phone, keychain w/spy capsule, Arc AAA and Traser Glow Ring (plus the already mentioned Rambler).

[Tadbik]

Not many piccies guys. Maybe Santa will bring you a digital camera!

[symes]

OK, not all carried every day, depends what the day is - "normal day", EMS day, sailing day, SIS undercover day etc., but here's a sample...


I'd list them all out, but it's much more fun to guess...

kind regards,

Simon

Hi symes

I guess you work in the North Carolina public schools system!

Mine currently is:

Spidie pride (just before I butcher it)

But Dave, I thought all you guys carried IMI Eagles in .44"Magnum:yikes:;)

[symes]

Pretty funny Danzo... fortunately those guys get full-time LE to look after them...where I go you don't need to pass through a metal detector to get in...

Hey, that picture looks smaller than I thought it would, so here's the original...for the interested...

http://home.nc.rr.com/symes/edc.JPG

kind regards,

Simon

[Danzo]

Sorry symes if that sounded facetious, I have had a difficult day having to cover lower school history classes (I teach Law in what you would call junior college as well as higher level stuff) as their teachers had gone home in tears. I would have used anything in 9mm to control the little :censored: s but that would of course be bad and wrong.

Bad Danzo

:twak:

Don't shoot the children

:AR15firin

They are our future.

:rolleyes:

Danzo

[jbaron]

I would use a shot gun!!!! :twak: :twak:

lol

[symes]

"Don't shoot the children"...

Perhaps you could follow the government's example and define yourself, instead of Teacher, as "force of occupation" in the classroom and then you could get away with it... just term it "collateral damage" and if you apologise, all the problems go away...at least for now....

LOL...

kind regards,

Simon

The author wishes it to be known that he does not condone the shooting of children in this or any other country or, for that matter, dropping bombs on them just to avoid having to do a job the proper way :banghead:

[symes]

Sorry, wandered off topic....

But was impressed that you correctly identified the 9mm!!

[Danzo]

Symes,

:35:

:beerchug:

:thanks:

Danzo

[Tadbik]

But Dave, I thought all you guys carried IMI Eagles in .44"Magnum:yikes:;)

The desert eagle was manufactured almost exclusively for the U.S. market. If you are an American, bigger is always better!

Standard issue of the Israel Police is the 9mm Jericho 941FS

Special police and army units are free to choose their pistol but most use the Glock as do the General Security Services (Shabak)

My SW99 is my own choice.

[Colin KC]

Good choice Dave, & isn't Symes' a P88 compact?

[Colin KC]

Dave, what's the semi serrated thing, you've got then? Looks solid & how do you find the Wave?

[Colin KC]

Now Tony, I like knives, but four? isn't that a bit ott? or am I missing something here?

[symes]

Close on the P88....visuals are very similar... especially as I have it left side down so you can't see that there is no safety...actually Sig P226 9mm with Hogue grips... and 3x15rd mags in blackhawk pouches. Truly a delight.

[Tadbik]

Dave, what's the semi serrated thing, you've got then? Looks solid & how do you find the Wave?

Colin,

The wave is ok when you have no choice, obviously as with all these mutli tools, a real pair of pliers or screwdriver is preferable!
The wave does allow me to quickly open one of it's two blades without opening the whole tool.

As to the semi serrated thing. Do you mean the folding knife? That's a SOG PE14 Pentagon Elite. Not the most expensive knife, it won't cut through 10cm pieces of wood in one chop but I use it every day for one small job or other.

All my stuff (my original photo doesn't include all the stuff in my "war bag" that's in the boot of the car!) is for using, not for show; if I bought a Strider Knife for a large amount of cash, I'd probably be too scared to take it out of the house for fear of loosing it!

[Slidje]

The desert eagle was manufactured almost exclusively for the U.S. market. If you are an American, bigger is always better!
i tried out an eagle on the range. it jammed at least once every clip i put through it.

I didn't say it was good, just big!

[Tony2001]

Quote:
"Now Tony, I like knives, but four? isn't that a bit ott? or am I missing something here?"

It might seem like much, but they all serve a purpose;

The Sog Flash I is my small task utlity knife, its tiny so I keep that on me clipped to my shirt or pants, it rides low, so people assume it's a pen or something.

The CRKT M16-13SF is bigger, light and has a half serrated tanto point edge, it keeps a really good razor sharp point that holds well, so I keep that for any sort of small to medium or fine cutting/chopping duty. The "LAWKS" (Lake and Walker Knife safety) lock feature works great, and this blade has shined through all the abuse I have given it.

The Emerson CQC 7 is there for when I need to chop or cut something a little heavier than the CRKT can handle, it's more for back up due to the fact that it has a heavier blade with a different design (spear point with serrations).

Last but certainly not least;

The S.O.G Desert Dagger , which is a beautiful blade, is there for any sort of larger cutting task (I know there are better blades out there for this). I fell in love with this blade after seeing the movie; "Kill Bill 1" (Black Mamba), trying to put it to use to justify the purchase, I'm sure we've all been there :)

[Colin KC]

I did wonder, why anyone NEEDS so many knives, but that's a bit of a silly question really isn't it, after all, we ALL need that many (or more;))

[The General]

Heck if I was on patrol I would carry my sword! :p I hear you get snakes out there! :wink: Little better than a sword against a viper! :wink:

[reggad]

Slidje, don't the police in Manchester get a bit miffed that you carry around two spyderco's, or does the rat just put them off searching you?!! Have had acouple of rats myself in the past, they do make excellent pets, and love their days out around town in yer armpit.

:wink: :D

[Slidje]

havent been searched by cops yet but id assume id go to jail. i dont carry my police if i dont have my camera, the other knife i keep on my keys so i could probably talk my way out of it. some areas around here are dodgy to be showing off a camera so i wouldnt feel safe.

rats are very smart, smarter than cats or dogs. squeeky climbs out onto my shoulder when he wants to go to the toilet so i put him down somewhere for him to do his business.
he either spends his time asleep or poking his head out of my neck or sleeve.
he doesnt behave like that at home though. sometimes when you take him out of his cage and put him in your lap he just grabs onto to your leg and unloads into your pants. ive trained him to use the tissue pile i keep on the corner of the bed but he doesnt always use it.

[BurkStar]

As a true blue American my EDC consists of a brace of Remington 12 Ga.'s carried across my back, a Desert Eagle on each hip and a six ft Hartsfield Katana. :p

My actual EDC (at least at work)
Swisstool on my belt, Nokia 3390, Rob Simonich Pikuni as a neck knife, Rick Hinderer Firetac with Mammoth Ivory, Knipstein Mammoth Ivory slipjoint, TAD Tactical wallet with a MOP slipjoint, a Surefire Z3, a Waterman fountain pen and a MT Combat Talon II in a sharkskin sheath.

[bagman]

Burkstar - you must have a plenty hefty belt to keep your pants up with that lot :D

[WestWolf]

Hold off chaps, sorry, Guys...I believe we're talking Parrots here....

You never know when a parrot may come in handy :wink: but don't you you mean African grey there? :D for the record a european grey wolf would also do the trick :)

A p.s for my EDC... I usually carry a streamlight Scorpion in my bag when out and about and will always carry my Spyderco Salsa when out walking or logging etc, as it's still small enough to go unnoticed but the blade shape is more versatile for heavy tasks. I find the semi-serrated blade very useful.

P.S Squeeky looks very cute!

I used to have an original Leatherman (PST?) but have never owned two multi-tools at the same time so can't really compare them. But I do think that if I need a multi-tool I want one that's going to get the job done and the Swisstool is nothing if not solid.

Don't mean to speak for ShunChiang, but looks like a Warren Thomas Keychain knife. If it is, its titanium with bonded CF overlay. Definitely neat lil suckers...


Yes, it is. That one is super lightweight. I like it a lot.

[Dai]

Yes, it is. That one is super lightweight. I like it a lot.

i'm guessing there's some kind of sheath to go with it? it's not going to do your pocket linings much good like that!

There is a original Kydex sheath with it. I usually wear 5.11 pants, so it is easier to put it in the pocket.

;)

[soup_monger]

I wear 24/7 pants.
They itch a bit.

[ShunChiang]

I like WT's Ti neckers a lot, because of its carbide edge. It holds a better edge than Mission Ti knives. A friend of mine use WT CF/Ti necker for about one year to cut fruits and envelops without sharpen it. It still held very good edge. Very nice necker indeed!

Ok, I gotta know:

Why's a sebbie got 2 holes at the back?

One for the lanyard, and the other.... :S

Anyone?

[Stuart Ackerman]

The second hole is for securing the scales when machining takes place, and the lock slot is cut...

[mikehill]

Juice Pro and the SF L4. Keep it simple :)
Mike.

[dunc5]

Yes and they all have them . Some people dont like them and think they shouldnt be there on a knife of that value but its all part of the things that make it a Sebenza .

Dunc

[dunc5]

Huh... ok.

Cheers :D

This is from the Chris Reeve website
'This is a tooling or locating hole and, in the finished knife, has no real function. The process goes something like this: we buy titanium in sheet form and cut it into rectangles approximately the size of the handle. We drill all the holes into this rectangle which is then placed onto a fixture, held secure by locating pins through these holes. The profile of the handle is then machined and the rectangle begins to look like the handle of a folding knife. It is at this stage that we select left or right-handed knives. One hole becomes part of the pivot assembly while the other is left vacant. Sometimes, however, we use the hole as part of the graphic on the decorated models and, on occasion, enlarge the hole and inlay a cabochon or coin into it. '

My pockets EDC are my keys with assorted bits;

http://static.flickr.com/50/109629532_db6185c7d2.jpg?v=0

radioactive glow tube thingy, swiss tech mutil key, car key, Res-Q-Me tool, 'nemesis' bottle opener, flat key with entry tab and mini swiss champ.

Spyderco Pride - which I may butcher, definitely taking of the 'stars and stripes' badge whatever!

leather wallet with a Swiss card perched on top (to show)


And then in my work/carry-all bag;

http://static.flickr.com/35/109629533_9fc0b4b9b8.jpg?v=0

baccy tin o'stuff, QIII and a SAK Spartan (corkscrews are invaluable)


And in the baccy tin;

http://static.flickr.com/50/109629534_35cbec2840.jpg?v=0

portex resus valve and face mask, pair of disposable rubber gloves (held with rubber band), piece of string, two mini faux photons from ZDP, alcohol swabs, lots of tablets of 400mg Ibuprofen, IKEA pencil, EKA small folding knife with bottle opener (bought from MOTW), couple of odd sized sheets of elastoplast, steristrips, piece of card holding heavy weight black thread+a large eyed needle

Also in the front of the bag is a high-vis vest for when I ride my push bike to the station or of course if someone decides to do naughty things to the tube system again, theres also a spring loaded centre punch (do a better job on tube windows that the Res-Q-me) and a triangular bandage.

As you can see my EDC is geared to normal life and doing bits and the work bag supplements are there in case 'the need' ever arises (hope not)!

Thanks Wolfgang, I just found the tree chopping thread a minute ago. It looks like a great knife.

I do not have any pix of my EDC. OK, I carry a small classic Sebenza, a Peter Atwood Solar Arc (which IS the knife that is my avatar.), and a Ritter Mini-grip (yellow handled.). (3-4 knives out of the house.)Or instead of the Mini-grip, a Combat Elite RRF, or a Rick Hinderer Firetac. I always have an Atwood PryBaby on me, as well as an Atwood Tactical Whisle, and an Arc-P. I always have my Nokia vell phone, as well as my Palm TX PDA. (I don't always have my PDA on me.)

A friend of mine, gave me a tin for pencils, and stationary...
I will enlarge another EDC to see what I can get in...the container is more than four times bigger than that of a Ritter kit, and with a cartoon of a chicken on the outside, looks rather innocuous...

[kibitz]

EDC for me is a Fenix P1D , an Elishewitz Folder and one of my Atwood tools.
Looks like I am not permitted to post pictures yet but I will when I am.

[Stuart Ackerman]

[bentusian]

A new addition to my EDC inventory :D :

G-shock wristwatch (model no. MTG910DA-1V)
http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t206/bentusian/DSCN6685.jpg
I believe this is a sister model of so called M:i:III limited edition G-shock, which I origianlly aspired to. But I think I made a right decision after all. :)

Hence an EDC update:
http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t206/bentusian/DSCN6692.jpg

1) Lifeventure wallet
2) Wristwatch
3) Keychain EDC group (Photon II, Wenger SAK, Atwood whistle & indispensible Tesco keyfob)
4) Mobile
5) Fenix P3D

[mrwilmoth]

any new ones?

[HootUK]

I've recently started adding these to my EDC.

Basically, because I get sick and tired of seeing cans of pop, plastic bottles, etc. dumped eveywhere when I'm out walking. I used to role my eyes and moan about 'who are the idiots that dump this stuff', but then I decided rather than raise my blood pressure, I'd pick it up. Hence the plastic bags.

Of course I may have to rethink if Brown and his lackies come after me for using plastic bags! Little bit of politics there, my name's Ben Elton, goodnight!

Cheers.

Off topic, but how is the minichamp size wise, I don't want something to hefty on my keys.

It's the same length as a classic, but about three times the thickness so it's pretty much square, end on.

Here it is my actual EDC.
It was updated today with the Wee NS.

That I must say, Rob has a excelent customer service. When the package was thought to be lost, he was more than happy to send a 2nd one, but unusually the 1st package arrived today with a HUGE delay.

I've heard ALOT of good things about them, Sigs are qaulity weapons mate :)

[vic]

hi falster

which model glock is it?

do you prefer the sig because it's da/sa and it gives you more options like the safety of a long first trigger pull and also the accuracy of a light single action if you need to make an accurate shot?

also, how does the trigger pull on a glock compare to the sig, is it closer to the double or single action?

thanks mate

[Levi]

Just a list because I can't be bothered laying all this stuff out for photo's; there is a LOT!

Basic leather wallet with cash, cards, receipts, tickets etc. plus some blank index cards for notes

Keys for home, bike & topbox. Also have a Victorinox Manager (includes pen) and a 'fauxton' on the keyring.
Cigarettes
Zippo lighter

Manbag

Some cheapo 'magic' and some SealSkinz gloves
Cheapo 'beanie' hat
Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ sunglasses

Mini FAK with the usual bits
Victorinox Deluxe Tinker
Mini screwdriver set (few small Torx and Philips bits)
Tissues
2 x AA & 2 x AAA batteries
Notebook with a stamp, envelope, Post-its and rubber bands in the fold-out pocket

Motorcycle Tankbag

Bigger FAK
Victorinox SwissTool X with screwdriver bits and wrench
Spare bulbs
2 x Glowsticks
Alan key & spanner (I forget the sizes, but just the most common for my bike)
2 x Pairs of earplugs
Helmet camera (when it's not on my helmet)
Visor cleaner & cloth
Rain dispersant
Insurance, MOT, Licence & related documents (actually in my jacket pocket)
Spare pair of leather gloves

And I must of forgotten something :D

Obviously I don't carry it all. The tankbag stays on the bike (my only means of transport so it's usually with me if I go anywhere :P), and my manbag will go with me in the topbox and then spends most of its life in my office at work, strapped round my waist or in the fold up rucksack if I want to look a little less 'dorky'. So essentially if you ever meet me I will have all this stuff with me, even if it's not all on my person at the time.

I still have a bit of room in my manbag if anyone has any suggestions for stuff I've overlooked :P

I always carry a microfibre towel.
use it for everything from cleaning specs to using as a scarf if I'm cold.

[Meganoggin]

Microfibre cloths and towels are awesome, I carry one in my bag, truck, at work etc etc.

They are great for cleaning cars especially windows and cleaning knives prior to taking photos.

I hate to break it to you Levi but your EDC is flawed; you are missing a essential item.

Only messing lol, you have a pretty extensive setup :biggthump Have you got any pics?

One thing I always carry is a pack of Wet Wipes. Not just for the kids, they come in handy for me all the time :)

Ah yes, the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Don't forget you can wrap it round your head to protect you from the ravenous bugblatter beast of Traal (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A387029).
