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 Nate Andrews on January 21, 2011 at 11:18: I have a few crkt and they are alright but the only problem
With benchmade is there so expensive. They dont have any good entry level knives like under $50. I just compare it to cold steel and if I could get a better deal so

Comment by Mig Santos on January 21, 2011 at 4:54: Wait til you hold some of the Benchmades... Then the CRKTs... And that's only some of the production knives! And then the customs! Before you know it, you'll be needing another cold shower!!

Comment by Mig Santos on January 21, 2011 at 4:53: Oh yeah, Nate, your Tenacious has 3 mean brothers, all scary sharp - Ambitious, Persistence, Resilience. Not to mention the Delicas, which I think come in more than 10 variations (grind, color, steel)... Yup, there should be a contest for the thinnest wallet somewhere here in iknifecollector!!

Comment by Nate Andrews on January 20, 2011 at 23:42: So I don't know if you guys know this but knives are freaking addicting. After collecting cold steel, kershaw, and gerber for a long time I was getting kinda bored with It but I just received my first spyderco knife the tenacious and I am so readdicted

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 19, 2011 at 1:33: Good thoughts Mig, kudos..." what Mig said Nate!"

Comment by Nate Andrews on January 19, 2011 at 0:47: Chris - my trunks usually had pockets and if not in the waist band.
Mig - that helps a lot thank you... Now the objective is to acquire enough money to do this. This is proof that the economy sucks... I'm
An assistant manager and I'm only making minimum wage. So yeah. Thank you though for all the advice it's been a massive help.

Comment by Mig Santos on January 19, 2011 at 0:41: Chris, you should have written "what Chris said!" :)

At work, my Hawkhook and Wharcom were just clipped on my belt with a pencil-sized Streamlight. I never had them on a carabiner because both clips were tightly matched to my belt. Lucky for me, none of them ever fell off. On water though, they should be tethered (clip it or lose it!)

Comment by Mig Santos on January 19, 2011 at 0:24: You can clip a carabiner to the string that tightens your trunks or make a hole, if your swim trunks don't come with a key loop, usually near a small inside pocket. Be creative. There's also grommets you use in tarps. Or make a belt of a paracord. Lots of ways. To make it bouyant, connect a small air bladder, like the famous rubber ducky... ;)

If you check the Salt I in the previous photo, that Goldenrod-colored P-TRRS paracord has the 3M reflector stripe (when you shine a light on it).

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 19, 2011 at 0:12: Ok, how about a small spydie H1 with a sailors keychain float attached to the lanyard hole, where you keep it is up to you!

Comment by Chris Hillier on January 19, 2011 at 0:10: SWIM TRUNKS!?!?!? Where did you carry your old knife....?......wait, dont answer that. Ok now your relegated to attaching the knife to your hip with 4" deck screws. Unless you want to neck lanyard one of the tiny H1 spydies...any ideas Mig?
