boom stickwhat is your daily carry?
forget your collection...what do you carry every day?

07 September 2005, 06:23
djpaintlesOn belt in Sheath: Leatherman Charge Xti with extra bits.
Left pocket: Leatherman Micra and Fallkniven U-2
Right Pocket: either: Reeves Large Sabenza, Spyderco ATR, Spyderco Military with 440V, or Syderco Terzuoala with 440V.
I use the right pocket knives in rotation to keep a sharp one at hand. I sharpen when a few are dull and restart the rotation.........DJ

Sendero300I've gone back and forth for years carrying either a stockman or trapper Case knife sometimes Schrade.
For the last few years, and now, my every day knife is a large Case stockman. 4 1/4" closed, 3 1/2" main blade, red bone handle. I have one just like it with yellow handles for a spare.
My "dress up" knife is a small Case stockman.

<BWN300MAG>I carry a Leatherman Pocket clip model. I use it everyday without fail.
07 September 2005, 07:13
300 H-HI have carried the same case stockman for years--but lately its been a spyderco Calypso Jr its so light and easy to get to--I still feel like i am cheating on my old case.

boom stickmy daily carry till it broke was the carbon fiber spyderco civilian...its amazing how easy it is to carry. i put a small clip on it so on the outside it did not look intimidating. i lost one kyaking my next one broke now i carry a benchmade full size skirmish

but for security, damage potential and awe within reason its hard to beat a cicilian.
p.s spyderco card knife in my wallet, multitool on my key chain. if anyone asked me for my wallet they would get the sharp end first!

The top knife is one I am making to try on a hog some day. It is a copy of a confederate bowie.
The bottom is my everyday knife. Its a copy of the set Fred Bear carried and based the Fred Bear archery knife set on.
It is a puma hunts pal with a Nickolson file and a norton stone(he only had 6 or so made with the Puma knifes). The sets you bought from Bear archery had a western knife. Wish I could find an original for my bear collection.

MarteriusA Victorinox Swiss Army knife is my everyday knife and has been since the age of 11 I think (I have been through a couple of them). I recently got one of the smaller leathermans, a nice alternative.
I usually stick to smaller knives, also in the field. None of the hunting knives I normally use have a blade over 3", most of them are smaller.
Regards,
Martin

Widowmaker416In my line of work I'm always reaching for a knife. I carry a "Ramon" knife on my belt, it's a 3" blade, overall 7"
I use it from gutting big game to skinning and caping clients trophies. My friends get a little squirrelly when I pull it out in a restaurant, can you believe that!

This "Winchester" brand Wal-Mart knife is on my keychain. After a year or more of use it has been about as durable and sharp as a Swiss made one. The saw blade you see there is of the staggared style and it will cut bone. The sissors are good and work well. It's a very useful piece.
In my car I carry tools etc. When I ride with someone else I take the box with me when appropiate. Most other people don't carry tools. It's amazing that over and over a flashlight, tire repair kit etc. saves the day. When I have this stuff it seems to make no impression on others. They never have whats needed the next time either.

thornellWhen I am at work I carry a spyderco endura stainless steel. When I am not at work I carry a microtech ultratech carbon fiber.
15 September 2005, 11:12
DoublessMy carry is a BEAR MGC single blade stainless lockback. It is cheap and dulls easily, but I don't do much on a daily basis with a knife.
When I am in the woods, the knives in the hunting pack are a Schrade LB7 and a Buck 110.
Both have done me extremely well, and I have learned how to separate deer and pig pelvises with them, so there is no need for a saw...
15 September 2005, 18:04
aktoklatI alternate between a Cold Steel Stockman and a Queen Cutlery Stockman. The Queen has D2 steel while the Cold Steel uses their Carbon V steel.
The D2 maintains an edge for a longer period of time while the Carbon V is easier to hone. Both serve their purpose quite well. I have carried a pocket knife all my life, even before I had a pocket to place it in.

Focus on the leading edge!

ASS_CLOWNUtica Cuterly pipe knife, a Queen mini folding hunter, Queen Canoe, or a Schatt & Morgan English Jack. Any given day I will have one of these with me.

Parker12SSS aka BigJohnOn my belt I carry a Buck 110 and in my pocket I always have a SAK Rucksack.
When I travel by motor car I always keep my Buck General and my Randall #1 handy and usually have three or four favorite pocket knives in my bugout bag.
I'm looking at getting the Kaybar Dozier and possibly the Warthog. Does anyone have a RAT knife and how do you like them?

The Randall #1 a fine choice. Is it a 7" or a 8" blade?

Parker12SSS aka BigJohnAndre-: I have a 7" blade, stag handle, with brass cap. It is beautiful and got it on ebay for a reasonable price. I also have a Model 25 with stag handle.
I bought a CRKT M16-13T at the McChord BX the other day and have added that to my EDC. I like the knife but need something with a larger handle. I may have to save up for a Szbenga.
I will buy the Kabar Dozier for my next large knife. I'm lucky to have a wife that doesn't mind the big knives. Where we camp, in Canada, there are a lot of lions and we can't take a gun across the border.

Get a Trailmaster in San Mai or the Bowie knife from cold steel. They are top quality for the dollar.
If you have to much cash I will be more then happy to sell you a Randall made knife.

Arctic GunEveryday, except for my time at school teaching, I carry a Groman Russel belt knife in the drop sheath and a Victornox Hunter in a snap pouch. If I think I'll be out for a few days, I always take my bolo style large knife by Meula. Now that's a great moose knife. The Groman I use for birds, beaver, and caribou generally. If the caribou isn't dead, it is excellent for finishing off. I also carry a Falkniven VG-10, the little one, holds up well when there are a few animals to skin. I'm a firm believer in water stones, and carry nothing less than hair shaving razors.

LasseI always carry a Leatherman PST II on my belt. I Feel very naked without it when out flying and cannot take it. Most of the time I fly with hand luggage only so I cannot check in a knife.
In my jacket I carry an EKA folding knife which I use for dressing and skinning. It’s not ideal from a hygienic point of view, but it handles nicely and is easy to keep sharp.
I while ago I was at my kids nursery on a parents open day where we cleaned the playground, repared outdoor toys and did all sorts of other maintenance.
Someone had tied a loop of rope round a climbing frame to use as a fix point for a hammock.
I pointed out that if a kid would climb up and put their head through the loop they could easily strangle themselves. One of the female teachers, who also hunts, said “You’re a hunter, have you got a knife on you?†No one batted an eyelid when I pulled out my knife to cut the rope.
It’s nice to live in an area where carrying a knife is part of your natural every day getting about.

Ryan CampbellEmerson designed Benchmade CQC 7, from when they were still making those. I use it almost every day for one thing or another.
The Hunt goes on forever, the season never ends.

458RugerNo1My trusty old Leatherman is a constant companion and sees daily use for one thing or another. I've had this one for 10 yrs now and it and it's sheath are plenty battered but have always been there for me.
I also wear a 4" fixed blade knife by Paragon with a single edge and slender wood handle. It's exceedingly sharp and is worn in a belt sheath next to the Leatherman.

Phil_NesmithVictorinox Alox Harvester and a Queen copperhead. I love big old folding hunters, but they are a little bulky for pocket carry, the copperhead patterns are miniature folding hunters, so I like them for everyday use. The Alox Harvester has lots of handy tools in a compact lightweight durable package, gets constant use at work opening packages, paint cans, whittling off excess wood, sawing, sharpening pencils, etc. I'd like to buy a nice two bladed stag handled copperhead pattern for my next knife, something like a Kissing Crane, Boker, Bulldog, or Eye Brand.
16 April 2006, 22:13
CrazyhorseconsultingI carry 2 Buck 110's, and at leats one Leatherman Supertool. I have been carrying the 110's for about 20 years now. Carry all of this in my pocket, as I don't like fumbling aroud with the sheaths.
Even the rocks don't last forever.

Ol` JoeI have a Benchmade Mini grip on me almost everywhere. When I`m not carrying the Benchmade I have an A.G.Russell Muskrat in my pocket.

Camillus DOMINATORâ„¢ (Tanto Blade)
.
This Tanto bladed version of the C.U.D.A. Dominator was designed by Darrel Ralph. The Dominator combines the best features of current custom tactical folders with its flipper-actuated, assisted opening ROBO mechanism, Titanium frame lock design, and ergonomic handle shape for a sure grip even when wet. The slim Titanium handles are the rugged base for the strongest lock of any knife in its class. The 3.65†S30V clip point blade is perfect for the military or LE user seeking the toughest, fastest tactical folder made.
This "Robo Power" knife is the pinnacle of the Camillus Speed Assisted Line.
I was carring the Kershaw with the asst. open. There are times when I may be on a ladder, scaffold or sissor left, when the asst.open is very handy. The steel is just outstanding!
BTW - It look real cool too!

billinthewildLike the rest of you, I probably have more knives than any one man can use. And with respect to all the custom knife makers, and the high priced factory pieces, at the Shot Show a few years back I visited the Kershaw booth. Since then my daily carry knife has been a
Kershaw, K.O. Blur,with a 3.38 in. partially serrated blade. Ken Onion design. Excellent quality, remarkable sharpness retention.
