At work I can't carry a knife, so I carry my nail clippers that has a knife blade

And this is my EDC when not at work
It has all the tools I need, 90 % of the time

This is my daily carry. It is a Kershaw leek model. The 1660ST model. I have carried one of these for about five years now. This is my third. The first one was given to me by a girlfriend, I carried it for about two years before giving it to my brother. He agrees it is one of the best pocket knives he has ever used.

My second one was stolen about three months ago. Unfortunately, by a young person who thought it was a good idea. I immediately replaced it with this new one and I am very pleased once again.

Like many users here, I find that I pull it out and use it almost every day. It is extremely handy being a one handed knife. It has cleaned many fish, and will probably help on a deer this fall.

It comes new with an incredible edge. I am now in the process of learning how to maintain and keep that edge. I don't do badly, but after I work on it it's never quite the same as new.

My daily carries, usually the Benchmade and the Squirt. Always carried my Leatherman Wave before I retired, now I just keep it in my car.

My everyday knife, I made it when I was in school 23years ago, the look did not turned out as I intended as unexperienced the sanding smoothed our all edges on the handle but it has a good grip and has served me well, blade is carbon steel, handle made of reindeerhorn and curly birch (masurbjörk)


When i Hunt I also use these knives:
EKA Nordic W11

EKA Swingblade G3

I carry the Craftsman most days. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge. It sees a lot of use.
I carry the Case when I have occasion to dress nice. Momma told me "You don't alway have to look like a bumm."
The case doesn't see a lot of use.

I love my case! It’s been riding in my pocket every day since I bought it a couple months ago. I had expected to get tired of it quickly, to be honest. I’m glad I got it.

I too, carry an Opinel. I love the wood handle and the blade stays sharp forever. It was a gift from my son, out of the blue. About 6 yrs. ago I thought I had lost it. I was really heart broken for the obvious reasons. I went ahead and replaced it because I really liked it. When we moved from the house a couple of years ago, low and behold, my wife found the knife under the bed. I swear that I look under that bed a couple of times looking for that dang thing. Any way, the knife is back in my pocket and now I have a back up. It is a fine blade made in France, I believe.
