    Good morning Andre - In answer to your question on my edc - in my right pocket I carry a lock blade Swiss Army Knife which also has a very handy saw in it, that cuts very well. On my belt right side I carry either a Chris Reeve, or a Dave Ricke lock back folder. Of course on some days I vary this. Hope you have a great day. "Lonewolf"

    Andre, it's awesome to have you in the Arsenal.

    I know that as a fellow hunter you should have an awesome opinion on a few guns. Thanks for joining.
