We are the EveryDay Carriers!

We here at the EDC Club are the side of the knife hobby who are the "Users." We are the EveryDay Carriers. Yes, we probably have one or two stuck back either due to sentimental reasons, or the knife was one of those- "just couldn't say no" when we first saw it and now it is a trophy knife in our possession, BUT, for the most part, we are users.

It's hard for us to imagine spending hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on knives - then stashing them away and not putting them to task, like they were made for. We help knives fulfill their destiny! Yes, they get scratched, tips broken off, and lost, but sitting there collecting dust, all the while its screaming to be carried and used- not our knives.

Granted we may rotate our EDC's in and out based on what we are doing for the day, or our moods, and may even retire one every now and then, but use them we do and are proud of it!

PoliceMag.com - Review :

There are others of similar design, like the Benchmades, but pricier. You can also check various YouTube videos for more insights into the RESCOM and the HAWKHOOK. I think the kids will like (and the liability-conscious managers will prefer) either of these. Have fun!

Comment by Mig Santos on January 16, 2011 at 17:23: You might want to look at the BOKER RESCOM by Chad Los Banos, AUS 8 steel with 2 cutting edges for rope or seatbelts :

Comment by Nate Andrews on January 16, 2011 at 16:16: Chris I just looked up the razel and I would agree that it would be great but only two problems with it A it's a fixed blade and I would get in lots of trouble for having one of those and B most times I'm using this will be when I've been out in the middle of this lake and I have to go under a boat to cut the rope out and trying to carry a fixed blade out into the lake without a leg strap makes it difficult. Plus most times everyone doesn't know I have a knife on me till they need it

Comment by Nate Andrews on January 16, 2011 at 16:06: Chris- where can I find a razel... What is a razel?
Mackenzie- I've slowly been trying to get some knives around the camp... Like a multitool on the boats and something like that but they just don't quite get the fact that it's a tool that is needed

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 16, 2011 at 12:37: Your rescue hook will be hard to get behind tightly wound cordage, i would recommend a ringed razel, good edge, pryable, push cutting edge, and doesnt look like a knife for the sheeple!

Comment by Mackenzie Soileau (sebenza100) on January 16, 2011 at 12:01: They dont have to be scary it could be an opportunity to teach them that knives dont have to be dangerous and are pretty dam cool

Comment by Nate Andrews on January 16, 2011 at 11:24: Yeah given it's a camp with kids at it they didnt exactly like My "big scary blades" a 2in buck folder. Ah sheepeople how I
Have to work
With you

Comment by Mackenzie Soileau (sebenza100) on January 16, 2011 at 8:58: If you can manage to get it behind the tangled rope you won't band the side of the blade as you would a knife so yea i think it could work well

Comment by Nate Andrews on January 16, 2011 at 2:23: So I have a question for all you benchmade users out there. I was looking at getting the ERT1 rescue knife (Houdini pro) because I work a summer camp and am one of the primary boat mechanics there. Now over the course of the summer our boats drive over multiple ski ropes and they often get tangled in the rudder. Now I normally just have a cheap buck knife on me but do you think the rescue hook be helpful in this situation and work of getting these ropes off?

Comment by Mackenzie Soileau (sebenza100) on January 15, 2011 at 12:44: ouch sounds painful lol Imknow how that feels. Ive done that several times while cutting onions.
