I rotate my blades but just picked up the excellent Kershaw Chill, thin ,light,elegant,sharp and inexpensive. A gentleman's knife and not  really suitable to those tough jobs but more than able to withstand everyday light duty. I've been carrying it for a week now and forget it's even clipped in my pocket.

A Swiss Army knife - a tinker or cadet-type for normal everyday carry - a classic or a bantam for more formal occasions.

 

Always a Victorinox, and always in the right front pocket (with my comb).

 

 

EDIT - forgot to mention - a Buck when out deer hunting...usually a bucklite folder with a knife/flashlight combo sheath - I don't know if they still make that combination, but it's been awfully useful...

Very nice

I have a N.I.C.A. Tanto, wouldn't dream of using it everyday, only "special occasion" carry

  

I love the look of that, but I'm not that serious about my knives to justify that.

I really think its one of the best choices for edc. I've dropped that knife 3 times & used it hard but you can't tell.

Usually I rotate between: XM-18 (3"), Strider PT-CC, Bark River PSK or a GITD Spyderco Manix 2. (And I always have an Atwood MSoPT in my wallet.)

 

Sometimes on the weekend I'll carry a ZT-0566 or a Boker Pry-Mini, especially if doing yard work or something... but they're generally too big for my weekday work-wear.

I just started EDC'ing a small Chris Reeve Sebenza. I like the look and workmanship, but I have to admit, the opening is nowhere near as smooth as my prior EDC, a Benchmade Griptilian, which costs less than 1/4 the sebenza.

 

 

... and if for some reason you lose your Griptillion while EDCing it, you won't feel as bad as if it was the Sebenza.  I tried the Sebenza once and sold it.  I didn't feel the value was there when comparing product vs. cost.

How the eff did you get a 0566? Everywhere I look says its still not available!

 

I fat fingered/had a brain fart... I meant the 0560. Not the spring assist. (To be fair... I'm not sure the 560 needs spring assist. It's pretty smooth.)

 

I waited for that one too though. I preordered the 0560 in June 2011 and waited something on the order of 4 months for it. (And I'm STILL waiting on my ZT0777 that I preordered on the same day. Ha! Kershaw/ZT better get cracking on shipping the knife of the year 2011!!! Hahahahaha!)

 

I LOVE the 0560... it's so similar to the 3.5" XM-18 that I had before I sold it to get the 3" XM. It's a great knife without the price point or hassle of finding an actual XM-18.

 

FYI... knifecenter has the 0566 for $144 pre-order which is very good. (The 0560 is still going for $250-ish.)

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
