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 John Bamford on November 18, 2013 at 15:05: It's a poor picture Ron ,its a four blade congress. I edc it cos England is so knife phobic now and this is the least threatening knife that i have. The quality isn't a patch on GEC, quite a few rough edges that needed touching up. This wouldn't have bothered me if I hadn't experienced a GEC,and in fact it makes the knife more sort of personalised.Stag is okay but had to reshape one scale to get them even. Was still looking at Friedrich Olbertz site last night and eyeing up a trapper with wood scales, didn't say what the wood is. Maybe get one after Christmas when there is less excuse to spend big bucks ,German Eye's are a lot cheaper here than GEC's, but can't imagine a better knife than my new 81 though.

Comment by Ron Cooper on November 18, 2013 at 14:43: Nice looking Schlieper German "Eye" Brand Whittler, John! How would you compare this Whittler with your new Stockman pattern? Aside from the obvious blade placement differences, of course. Do you prefer one over the other? That looks like some nice stag on your Eye!

Comment by John Bamford on November 18, 2013 at 11:17: Have been carrying this a lot as it is less likely to upset non knifepeople, no pointy blades.

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on November 18, 2013 at 9:18: While not a seahorse, JJ. I did keep an old worn Case XX probably only in VG condition out of my auction to carry when I'm out walking in the woods :)

Comment by J.J. Smith III on November 17, 2013 at 0:05: Oh boy. Another convert.

Comment by john garcia on November 16, 2013 at 22:24: Well i like it because it is a case and a whittler pattern and a seahorse most of all i decided i like the seahorse most. like the conoe pattern also but dont have one and trappers too. if i ever whittle anything with the seahorse i will try to post i pic. right now it just feels good to be carrying one!

Comment by Ron Cooper on November 9, 2013 at 19:22: John, once you start using that Seahorse you'll gain a much better appreciation for what a great little knife it is. The way it fits in your hand is amazing! Let us know what you think after you've used it for a spell, okay?

Comment by john garcia on November 9, 2013 at 19:08: Carried my new sea horse whittler today. really like it even though i have not used it

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on September 4, 2013 at 17:49: It's still my Tiny Trapper. Once I get attached to a certain knife I have a hard time switching.
