Whenever I'm deciding which of my EDC blades to take with me for the day I always have a hard time choosing. I always end up carrying more than one, Five to be exact. Does anyone else have a hard time deciding which knife to carry so you end up taking more than one? If so which two do you have the most trouble with deciding on?
I probably have two dozen knives that could be EDC, but I am a carver who works in various cafés, so the only knife I have in my pocket is a very nice MasterCarver with a single blade. I carry other knives when I want to show-and-tell, even though it's hard to find anyone who cares!
Usually 4 for me. My little SOG Flash1 in my front pocket, my Benchmade Barrage in my back pocket, and my Zero Tolerance 0300 in a belt pouch. I also have a CardSharp in my wallet, but I always forget I have that one. :-)
Been awhile since I've posted in this group and my EDC rotation has changed. I don't EDC any collectible knife that wasn't already used at the time that I bought it. With the exception of a Busse Natural Outlaw that only comes out when I'll be in certain areas or around certain people. Better to have it and not need it. There's always a Spyderco Native in my boot, either an Al Mar eagle Talon or one of the old Seki made Browning folders in my pants or vest pocket, and either a fixed blade or larger folder on my belt. Most of the time there's a custom Mark McCoun tactical Fighter on my belt. Mark forges a lot of knives and tomahawks for service members, particularly SOF guys. I have one of his hawks and several knives. The finish is forged so they're not what most collectors would call pretty. But I'll take one of his knives into any situation over a hundred pretty ones. Others include a Seki made Beretta skinner, a Buck 110 given to me new in 1984, an Al Mar SERE, a SOG Tomcat 1 with custom burl wood scales, and a SOG Tomcat 2. These were all carried and used prior to my acquiring them so their value was already diminished. A lot of people think I have a problem due to carrying 3 to 5 knives daily. Each has a specific purpose and what people think of me is none of my business. The burl scales on the SOG Tomcat 1 were done by myself, along with all of the sheaths except for the Beretta skinner.
