Ok Nate as I don't have a fire arm permit so i cant carry a pistol with me therefor there is just one option for me and since I also collect knifes I like to carry more then one knife. Usually 1 tactical large 1 utility medium (assisted) and 1 small automatic in my jacket. If I count my back pack them + 2 one swiss victorinox and one small multi tool in my EDC pouch. And for the pollice office question here in Slovakia we dont have any legislative restrictions regarding knifes just dont display them in the public because than you can be charged wit endangering. I did not come across a case that a police office asked you on the street to empty you pockets and I always stay out of trouble and mind my own business. But to answer your question I don't know what my answer would be maybe something like ,,Oh look office a UFO and when he turns around a wold trow the knife away,,
I emailed Kershaw some time ago regarding this unusual version.

Here in California, state law frowns on folding knives more than 3-inches, should be hidden, but any blade style including karambits. Fixed blades should be sheathed and fully exposed, no size limit (maybe sabers and katanas are fine :) ?) Automatics, butterfly, double edged daggers and such strictly banned countrywide unless law enforcement or military. Knives come in so many styles, sizes and uses that to get just one of each might mean more than 300 knives. So you guys got me salivating again for that next sharp edge...
Nate, here's a good deal on a Spyderco Atlantic Salt (an even $50). Compared to the Pacific Salt, it's only 1/8" shorter. But it has a sheepfoot blade, which is less aggressive looking and much safer on kids' toes.
Oh that Atlantic Salt looks NICE since we don't have any salt water here in Slovakia this model is not on my wish list but it is a very beautiful knife.
Either way, Nate, good choice! Someone mentioned that H-1 scratches easily. You could try Flitz polisher to buff it. Have fun in the water!
Patrik, you mentioned the pricey Para-Military? Spyderco has another CPM-S30V in the Native ($61 at Amazon). Slightly thinner blade at 1/8", instead of 5/32". Hollow-grind, not Flat-grind. Lockback, not Compression lock. Tip-up, not tip-down carry. It could quench your thirst... temporarily at least.
Hahaha Patrik, i almost spit my coffee this morning reading that "look officer a ufo and trow the knife away". So classic! A lot of people frown on the older blade steels, by that i mean the 440's which were common place when i was younger. We didnt have the s30v or 154cm etc. One thing i will always say is that the lighter/cheaper steels 420, 440a, 440c, might not be as durable or hold an edge for long, but the average inexperienced knife user/sharpener can put a razor edge back on them without expensive tools.
I have run my tenacious for awhile now and it seems to be holding up fine! Will keep ya posted. I dropped my spyderco milli the other day, it stuck tip down into linoleum covered concrete without the slightest tip deviation "whew".
Canadian laws are the same, limited to 4" folded, no switch, spring or gravity knives, but fixed exposed as long as its sheathed. I carry a left pocket tarani master karambit, and a right (lately) either millie, A100, ak-47 or in the yard my trusty kabar k2 warthog. If an officer asks, i will try the ufo, if not then will have to ask why he carries weak side weapons.
Hi Mig. Yes the Native is one piece of a nice made knife but i would rather go wit the Caly 3 is just my personal preference I like the caly's leaf shape blade more :-)
Hi Chris sorry for the coffee. I agrre with you. 420 and 440 is a light to sharpen steep type but has the disadvantage that has a low edge holding since i have a loot cheap knifes with this type of steel. Here arrounda loot of people buy knifes mainly for display purpouses so they dond care about the steel type and I agree that for the main EDC knife AUS 8A, VG10 or if you are willing to pay more CPM SP30 or 154cm.
I agree with you, Patrik. The Caly 3 has nice clean lines and curves. Plus the flat-ground leaf blade, my favorite style, and G-10. Although twice the Native's price at ~$133, the Caly 3 is still definitely preferable. Thanks for the reminder!
Like you, I was also thinking of the Resilience. The 4 1/4" 8Cr13MoV Leaf shaped flat ground blade is big. The 5 1/4" G-10 handles have stainless liners, and 4-way carry. It should feel solid in the hand. At $48, it's reasonable. I really enjoy the Tenacious and the Persistence, so the same styled Resilience should be just fine. Spyderco did a good thing with this Value line. At least more people can afford and appreciate them. Plus they're much better than the Byrd line, imho.
Mig, what to say just that I completely agree wit you the value line from spyiderco is a big score and wit a nice pricing. To address the bird line I'm not impressed wit those knifes I own now for over 4 years the bird cara cara it is a OK knife with a big blade but the opening of the knife just is not what I prefer. The Resilience would be in my opinion since I don't own that knife at the moment much better than the bird cara cara. FFG is a much better blade grind.
In cooperation with industry leaders, the American Knife and Tool Institute (AKTI) approved updated standard knife definitions to use for legislation and law enforcement purposes. Visit http://www.akti.org/resources and click on the red "AKTI Approved Knife Definitions" link to see official, legal definitions for such edged tools as an "Arkansas Toothpick," "Bowie Knife," "Dagger," "Ballistic Knife" and many more.
Patrik, the Resilience (like the Tenacious) has phosphor bronze bushings. I guess that's why the Value line has a smoother opening/closing compared to the Byrd line. Could also be the eye-shaped thumbhole that just feels a little weird. But they're cheap, disposable and screwable enough to use on grimy stuff or chemicals.
Chris, I always wished I had the Millie or the Para. What's held me back were the right-side tip-down carry (ambidextrous preference) and the high price (so many others to select from in that price range). Other choices had titanium liners, or Axis-lock or Arc-lock. I ended up with the Spyderco Barong, and that quenched it for me. Yeah, full flat grind is the best. That's the only grind that cut my finger (by a cheap Tenacious)... :)
Indeed personal preference must play a role, if not we would all EDC the same blade :). I still wouldnt have a millie if not for the excellent deal i got on mine!
Patrik, I also wanted the Kukri although the blade angle was too steep for me. But the handle gave a good grip. Like the Millie and ParaM, the Barong locked your grip solidly. I would still go for the Caly 3.5 as my next premium knife. I'm perfectly contented with Spyderco's VG-10.
Chris, if I had found a better price than what was available then, I could have been tempted. But the moment I saw the Barong, it was LAFS! I guess that's "luv at 1st sigh-t".
Here are the 2 I carry most allways... now on Sunday I will pull out a looker or 2, but most of the time it's these 2. Being an electrician the lenox gets worked the hardest, love the new gold blades.
Hi Bjorn. Redundacy is key plus I say to evarybodu you need to have the right tool for the right job there is nothing like a universal knife or tool that can do every task. I do not carry all that stuff on my person the whole day because I work in a office but I have at least 2 knives plus multitool on me while other ones are in my bag or jacket. If the last EDC picture was to much for you here I did a photo of my today's my today's EDC
you are so right, no one item can do everything, but your pockets can only hold so much stuff:-) you mind telling me whats in the picture?
i would like to take a picture of my EDC but i am at the moment expanding it to accommodate my new way of thinking. until recently i was without a knife and just carried a giant multitool mostly. but have now started thinking a bit different, started with me expanding my outdoor gear and now realized that i want to get myself a descent EDC kit as well.
today i carry a spyderco ambitious for work(opening and cutting boxes) and a benchmade mini grip for after work. a no name flash LED flashlight, gonna upgrade that to the led lenser V2 and a streamlight stylus pro for redundancy. i have a leatherman juice S2 multi tool on my side everywhere and a leatherman wave to go in my bag( unfortunently ATM misplaced) pen and paper of course and phone and a large first aid kit, gonna down size that to a more portable kit though, takes up almost all the room in my compartment in the bag so wanna sort that out. i am getting there slowly:-)
That is nice Bjorn you have to take in consideration that if you caring all that extra weight it has meaning and one day maybe it helps you to save a persons life I think to carry even one single blade can mean in a certain situation a lot of differences even if you thin of a hostile situation or a rescue situation. There for i carry so much stuff. I need to add that my EDC pouch is not on the picture because usually during the week i have it at my drawer in the office I can make some pictures and send them to you but the point is to make your own EDC pouch or bag fill it with stuff you think you will perhaps need during the day. I think that the basic stuff is like you have at you some kind of first aid kit a light source, extra knife or safety razor some tape pack of gum or sugar as for extra energy you never know when you or somebody in your proximity will be in need. The list can go on and on.
As for what is on the table: My ixus pouch with a canon IXUS 130 camera under it tripod usb key leatherman skeleton leatherman Squirt PS4 leatherman Squirt S4 My valet it is some AVON brand product my sister gave it to me Samsung galaxy s1 HTC Desire S Endura 4 PSHG Delica 4 PHG Meadowlark 2 FRN PFFG dragonfly 1 FRN SFFG Leather change bag - this was a gift from a god friend from US Lansky keychain crock sticks (nice portable ceramic sharpener) Smith's 3in1 pocket sharpener this was again a gift Victorinox SD black Victorinox super thinker Sreamlight microstream
i think what you state in the beginning of your post is a realization that i have come to, maybe i am getting old:-) but the fact of carrying stuff for helping others is number one, doesn't matter if its just helping someone unscrew something or handing them a pair of scissors or if it´s literally saving their life with my first aid pack. i wanna help others,thats number one. i would really appreciate the pictures mate if its not to much of a hassle, i need the ideas, got some of my own but more never hurts, like i said, i got a great first aid kit but its WAY to big,needs to be downsized.
other then that i see the lovely delica in your EDC, i am getting one next time i order from the US, purple plain grind and a streamlight stylus pro. squirt is on my list aswell, got more then half prize at work on all leathermans so going a bit leatherman crazy at the moment:-) thinking about the style just for the twizzers
yes Bjorn I think you understand the sole purpose of EDC it is not just about me. I'm a human and i wont and cant just stand by and do nothing if someone is in need of help and that could be my colleague, neighbor, roommate or and animal in distress. We do care about others that is why we are willing to trade some comfort every day. I strongly advice all my friend to at least carry a knife and to say the truth it is not a easy process but wit some time and work you cand persuade them. For every EDC person in your proximity your safety increases because even we could some day be in a situation when we need help and even when other ones want to help you but are not prepared or don't have the right tool they can't be helpful. I will make pictures as soon as i have time so you can see my EDC pouch.
i have been trying to convert people i know too. unfortunently with the knife laws here people are not inclined to carry one, the laws are to fuzzy about what is and isn't legal so people are scared. i converted a college of mine though got him to buy a delica.
couldnt help myself been fiddling with my first aid kit here for the past hour taking it down to bare necessities. got a new bag today so trying to work out where to put everything. this i love the fiddling about and moving stuff around, same with EDC knives and load out.
It's not fuzzy at all, Björn. If you for some reason need a knife you can carry one. If people can't even google the Swedish Police homepage and look up "knife law" it's their problem.
Did you hire an assistant to help you carry all that stuff? Between my pockets, my briefcase, I too carry much of the things you show in your picture. My selections are different, but similar. In my vehicle I have much more; road flares, blankets, folding shovel, saw, tube tent, 3 cell flashlight, industrial first aid kit, and of course more knives.
I noted that you don't seem to have any fire starters; matches, lighters.
Except of that little pouch on the right where mi pocket sharpening tools are I can carry everything on my belt or in my pocket but as I mentioned I have other stuff that is in my backpack in my bigger EDC pouch (first aid kit fire starter multiple options ect.) right now at work in office :( if you pack all the stuff there is not so much of it one knife per pocket the other staff is small potato's :) no assistant necessary.
You certainly have a good kit and I think you are ready to provide assistance in most emergencies. It is better to have the tools and never need them, then to need them and not have them.
You got that right. Exactly my way of thinking some of my friend making fun of me because of all the stuff I have by my self but when something happens I'm prepared.
just got my neww knife yesterday, a CRKT ignitor sport,my first aassisted opening,and i am totally loving it!! sitting here with a sore thunb though because of all the playing around with it
yes patrik, it will probably be my EDC for a couple of months.loving A/O will probably get a few more in the near future..just gotta learn to tacle all the ignorant people over here that think that an assisted opening is the same as a automatic which is illegal......got the knife law in my pocket now adays.
LOL! I have about 6 of them waiting their turn for an article. I know what your mean. These are good knives for the money. CRKT is a good bunch of people too.
