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!

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 11, 2011 at 19:13: One of mans truly great accomplishments!

Comment by Mackenzie Soileau (sebenza100) on January 11, 2011 at 10:30: Yes we did the very first knives were discovered completly by mistake they were simply broken rocks with sharp edges handles came later

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 11, 2011 at 10:20: They come in every shape size design form and function, but fundementally remain the same. The more i thought about it, fire has always been here, WE made knives!

Comment by Mackenzie Soileau (sebenza100) on January 11, 2011 at 8:17: Exactly i find it fullfilling when i have one of mans oldest know tools that has been so successful from its primative original stone to modernday steel and handle materials. And so many to choose from.

Comment by Terry Waldele on January 11, 2011 at 5:02: I wholeheartedly agree with Chris Hillier's comment. Here I am at 3:00 am PST and can't resist chiming in on this point. It's true that knives warm our souls, but isn't ironic that "cold steel" can do that? But, it's so primal, you know? Owning one or more knives is so reassuring, so connected with our ancestors and heroes that they're, in a way, spiritual.

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 11, 2011 at 1:37: I think that second to fire they have been used as a tool by man for so long they have become genetically ingrained in our make up. The same way a crackling fire gives you that relaxed feeling inside, knives warm your soul. How is that for 4am deep thoughts from the graveyard

Comment by Mackenzie Soileau (sebenza100) on January 10, 2011 at 9:31: I am asked this question quite often and i always give the same answer. If any one wants to share their opinions feel free. "What is it that makes us so into knives that we must carry at least one no matter where we are or what we are doing?"
