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 Ally Burnham on May 5, 2009 at 12:01: Lee is ready for the Zombie Apocalypse!!
Okay not really.
But I don't think it THAT strange...Ken (my bf) has been know to carry 3-4 in a day for no other reason then because he can.

Comment by Andrew Thornton on May 5, 2009 at 11:09: Geez Lee! Planning o getting attacked?
I can understand carrying two (as I do), but 5?!

Comment by Keelen Grimm on May 5, 2009 at 7:55: I am on the same page with Lee. I always have more than one knife on me but not always 5!! Today I am carrying my Spyderco Delica wave, Byrd Robin, Blackhawk Hawk Hook, Leattherman Juice(Multi-tool with blade). Today I am working outside so I have more but on a normal day I wouldn't walk out of the house with out my Delica, Blackhawk and Leatherman.

Lee is right, being prepared is never a bad thing. Never know when you will run into a situation where your life or the life of someone else could be saved by having a knife.

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on May 5, 2009 at 7:01: Lee- that is really interesting?

So, let me ask in response to your comment "It doesn't hurt to be prepared" Prepared for what? Where do you live? What do you do?

I can see the logic through- if you like knives, why only carry one?

Comment by William Cutting on May 5, 2009 at 0:50: I feel weird saying this, but I never have less than 5 blades on my person at all times! Today for example, I carried the KABAR Bob Dozier Spear Point Hunter, SOG Trident, Byrd CaraCara, Boker KeyCom, and SwissTech Utili-key. What can I say? I cannot pick one knife to carry, I have to carry several because I like them all so much. (I also carry multiple blades for different EDC Tasks and or situations. It doesn't hurt to be prepared.) p.s. I also have the ColdSteel Bushman in my truck.

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on May 4, 2009 at 16:35: I hear ya. That knife was first made as a heavy duty work knife back around the turn of the last century. It's too heavy to carry in your front pockets, but I did day before last. It feels good in my hand, open or closed, but too heavy in the pocket.

Comment by Andrew Thornton on May 4, 2009 at 8:05: Well it's nothing like shown below. I usually carry my Spyderco Endura and/or Spyderco Dragonfly.

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on May 4, 2009 at 7:06: Thanks for joining us Andrew- what is your everyday carry?

Comment by Terry Barkes on May 3, 2009 at 13:24: I added some old knives to my photo to see. I think you will see the kind of knives from year of old I am talking about.

What are the paths you take to acquire the old ones you do? What do you look for in the one's you get?
