Just curious if you carry a knife and what is your EDC of choice?

Since I’ve started camping I’ve collected a few various new knives recently.

My Buck 110 is what I’ve been carrying the most. It’s been a great knife. I ordered a custom 110 from Buck earlier this week. Excited to get it.

Just wondering what some if your favorite or go-to knives or multi tool you carry.

If you have a knife collection I sure would enjoy seeing some photos!

I carry a Kershaw Blur. I don't need it much, so it works for me.

Same, but with the serrated edge on the back half. Mine is just black, but that green looks really nice. Good thread, I’m in the market for a new one.

One of the guys on my service team had this knife made for me (I’ll be making sure he gets a nice raise this year Wink )..

Well, thanks TX. It’s all your fault for starting this thread 😉. I just ordered a Spyderco Atlantic salt and a Spyderco Bow River. I’ll post pics when I get them.
Here’s my Endura I carry.

I just ordered another custom Buck 110, a custom Buck 112 and my first Spyderco!!

Ugh. Must put phone down!!

I’m definitely partial to Buck just because that’s what my grandpa always carried. And the price is right for me. The Spyderco and Benchmade will be in my collection for sure!

I was just googling and reading and ran across a place called Randall Knives. Custom knives for sure. There is a 5-6 YEAR waiting list you can get on!! lol damn..

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts and some pictures!

My wife asked me why I have so many knives. And finally today I was with my four year old daughter and my wife. And I had to open this plastic bag of gummy worm candy for my daughter. I couldn’t open it by just tearing it open. So I reached down for my knife and cut it open.

I looked over at my wife and very dryly said, that’s why I have so many.

lol

Milwaukee Fastback is what I've been carrying for work the last 10 years, open a lot of boxes.


For riding and camping I have a Gerber Crucial multi tool.

I carried a Gerber Diesel Mulit-Plier Stainless when I worked, now it rides in the Jeep. Gerber makes good and stuff, not at crazy prices.

I’ve got an SOG and Gerber I really like.

The bottom knife is just a cheap Reapr I got I think at bass pro shops for $30 for one of my boys. Thing is solid as a tank! Surprisingly. Not my style but for an 11 year old coolest knife in the world!

These are on my wish list. Currently in my cart...

Wife wants that small boot knife. So if she gets that I can get the others she says.

Was looking at Carbon Fiber knifes when I found this on Amazon for $13.42. How good could it be? If nothing else, I was out less than $20. Turns out to be one of my favorite knives I've ever owned. Like it so much that I bought a second one for my SHTF bag.

Kershaw Chive. I need a small everyday pocket knife and this one fits the bill perfectly. Holds an edge well and has open assist. Over the years I have had an array of pocket knives and this is my favorite. Cheap knives are like cheap sunglasses, they get lost and you don't care, get a more expensive one and you will be more likely to keep an eye on it.

I like the knife a lot but it doesn’t flip out buttery smooth like the SOG.

Benchmade and SOG make good knives. I have had this Seal Pup for about 13 years. I usually carry it on a backpack when I’m fishing. I also like the SOG Tigershark with the knuckle guard. It’s on my wish list lol.

The Atlantic Salt I ordered came early. I just opened the package now. I will say the blade is high quality. The handle feels slightly thinner then the Endura.
