The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
We have a great group "EDC Club" and has a lot of good topics, but no place really to post your EDC. And you have to be a member of that club to post on that group. I have been using a couple of posts in that group for my EDC's but does not relate to the topic.
SO - how about an ongoing Discussion with pictures of what you are carrying today?.
What are your favorite EDC's? What is your EDC lineup?
This will be for all IKC members, not just members of the EDC group.
So Post those Everyday Carrys and show us what you are carrying today.

like that sound.
I have an old WWII US Marine Corps utility knife, a BUCK 110 or an an old 3 inch Imperial I carry depending on what I wear. The most useful is my Imperial because it's as sharp as a razor and opens all my mail, packages and blister wraps.
Thanks Peter, I really like it and am going to carry it some. May lose some of its value but I will enjoy it more.
ken,
I've heard that a lot from various people about devaluing a knife by using it. I guess wear and tear would do that but why have the knife? The beatup USMC utility knife I carry has brass spacers and so anyone who knows pocket knives knows it's worth something,I mostly get avid ebayers tell me it's worth money. When I tell them it doesn't matter I like to use it, they don't understad. The small little Imperial pocket knife belonged to my grandfather and is almost razor sharp and I have gotten so much use out of it over the years. I guess people don't understand
Greg, you are so right. I guess different people look at it in different ways. That's OK. I like to carry them.
It's kind of funny how some of us get really attached to our EDCs, for what ever reason.
As much as I agree with the philosophy that a knife should be used, I know I have several that will not be used and many that will never be carried. I also know that some companies, make knives that they claim could be used but are really made to look at! And quite often when you start using them, you begin to realize that as a "user" knife, they are over-priced. You also begin to realize that it is the true EDC that become more collectible simply because all the good ones were used!
I seriously think that any factory produced knife that is in current production is not going to go up in valuable by very much in my life time so I'm not going to worry about using it. The main reason some of my knives will never be used is simply due to the number of knives I have the limited number of cutting chores I need to accomplish.
Good points Tobias
