i have been trying to convert people i know too. unfortunently with the knife laws here people are not inclined to carry one, the laws are to fuzzy about what is and isn't legal so people are scared. i converted a college of mine though got him to buy a delica.

couldnt help myself been fiddling with my first aid kit here for the past hour taking it down to bare necessities. got a new bag today so trying to work out where to put everything. this i love the fiddling about and moving stuff around, same with EDC knives and load out.

yes Bjorn I think you understand the sole purpose of EDC it is not just about me. I'm a human and i wont and cant just stand by and do nothing if someone is in need of help and that could be my colleague, neighbor, roommate or and animal in distress.  We do care about others that is why we are willing to trade some comfort every day. I strongly advice all my friend to at least carry a knife and to say the truth it is not a easy process but wit some time and work you cand persuade them. For every EDC person in your proximity your safety increases because even we could some day be in a situation when we need help and even when other ones want to help you but are not prepared or don't have the right tool they can't be helpful. I will make pictures as soon as i have time so you can see my EDC pouch.

i think what you state in the beginning of your post is a realization that i have come to, maybe i am getting old:-) but the fact of carrying stuff for helping others is number one, doesn't matter if its just helping someone unscrew something or handing them a pair of scissors or if it´s literally saving their life with my first aid pack. i wanna help others,thats number one.  i would really appreciate the pictures mate if its not to much of a hassle, i need the ideas, got some of my own but more never hurts, like i said, i got a great first aid kit but its WAY to big,needs to be downsized.

other then that i see the lovely delica in your EDC, i am getting one next time i order from the US, purple plain grind and a streamlight stylus pro. squirt is on my list aswell, got more then half prize at work on all leathermans so going a bit leatherman crazy at the moment:-) thinking about the style just for the twizzers

That is nice Bjorn you have to take in consideration that if you caring all that extra weight it has meaning and one day maybe it helps you to save a persons life I think to carry even one single blade can mean in a certain situation a lot of differences even if you thin of a hostile situation or a rescue situation. There for i carry so much stuff. I need to add that my EDC pouch is not on the picture because usually during the week i have it at my drawer in the office I can make some pictures and send them to you but the point is to make your own EDC pouch or bag fill it with stuff you think you will perhaps need during the day. I think that the basic stuff is like you have at you some kind of first aid kit a light source, extra knife or safety razor some tape pack of gum or sugar as for extra energy you never know when you or somebody in your proximity will be in need. The list can go on and on.

As for what is on the table:
My ixus pouch with a canon IXUS 130 camera under it
tripod
usb key
leatherman skeleton
leatherman Squirt PS4
leatherman Squirt S4
My valet it is some AVON brand product my sister gave it to me
Samsung galaxy s1
HTC Desire S
Endura 4 PSHG
Delica 4 PHG
Meadowlark 2 FRN PFFG
dragonfly 1 FRN SFFG
Leather change bag - this was a gift from a god friend from US
Lansky keychain crock sticks (nice portable ceramic sharpener)
Smith's 3in1 pocket sharpener this was again a gift
Victorinox SD black
Victorinox super thinker
Sreamlight microstream

you are so right, no one item can do everything, but your pockets can only hold so much stuff:-) you mind telling me whats in the picture?

i would like to take a picture of my EDC but i am at the moment expanding it to accommodate my new way of thinking. until recently i was without a knife and just carried a giant multitool mostly. but have now started thinking a bit different, started with me expanding my outdoor gear and now realized that i want to get myself a descent EDC kit as well. 

today i carry a spyderco ambitious for work(opening and cutting boxes) and a benchmade mini grip for after work. a no name flash LED flashlight, gonna upgrade that to the led lenser V2 and a streamlight stylus pro for redundancy. i have a leatherman juice S2 multi tool on my side everywhere and a leatherman wave to go in my bag( unfortunently ATM misplaced) pen and paper of course and phone and a large first aid kit, gonna down size that to a more portable kit though, takes up almost all the room in my compartment in the bag so wanna sort that out. i am getting there slowly:-)

Hi Bjorn.  Redundacy is key plus I say to evarybodu you need to have the right tool for the right job there is nothing like a universal knife or tool that can do every task. I do not carry all that stuff on my person the whole day because I work in a office but I have at least 2 knives plus multitool on me while other ones are in my bag or jacket. If the last EDC picture was to much for you here I did a photo of my today's my today's EDC 

Enjoy.
