What is Your EDC Pocket Knife?

[Mguts]

Used to have a Benchmade Griptilian and gave it to a buddy of mine. Thinking about getting another one. Anyhow, what do you guys carry?

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Gerber Paraframe. Not the most expensive by any means, but gets the job done. Had it for three years now.

I've got a Paraframe, too. Nice unit; light & subtle.

I have a Gerber Suspension Multi-tool I leave in the truck:

But I usually carry something from CRKT (Columbia River Knife & Tool) in my pocket.
Either this tactical one (love the 'auto-lawks' & the hilt):

... or this Ed Van Hoy creation:

Which is kind of funny to watch people try to open it (because the blade swings out & around in 180 degrees)

Also, "EDC" = 'every day carry'? That's a new one on me ...

 

[Edubsam]

Correct. EDC = every day carry

Ordered this about a week ago and havent received it yet. Not for edc per say, but rather an inexpensive knife to leave in the rig and 'be prepared'.

CRKT Kommer Fulcrum... a wicked little peice of engineering, and it stays super sharp.

 

[Dawg4Runner]

Benchmade TiPika II, Combo edge. Inexpensive, flat smooth metal case makes it easy to remove and replace in your pocket and lightweight for it's size. Easy to forget it's there. Excellent blade.

Kershaw Leek, excellent knife. It's my second one, third kershaw. I love the kershaw spring mechanism, as far as I remember they the first to introduce spring assisted (not automatic push button) opener, bought the first one off the snap on truck.

I lost the first two and I'm sure I'll buy another when I lose this one (cuz it ain't breaking or wearing out anytime soon). Before the kershaw I had a gerber applegate fairbarn folder and it was ok but 2-3x the price and half as easy to use or keep sharp.

Edit: my favorite thing about the leak is how thin it is and disappears in my pocket (I removed the clip)

CRKT Kommer Fulcrum... a wicked little peice of engineering, and it stays super sharp.

CRKT makes some great stuff. I've also got a Guppie (which I don't carry often, as it's a little bulky, but it's convenient in a pinch or small gear bag), and a 'K.I.S.S. in the Dark' which is very slick:

I've got a couple older Camillus "Lev-R-Lock"s knocking around too. Almost like a small switchblade w/ a lever instead of the PB + spring.

I carry a Kershaw Clash(serrated blade).. pretty good considering you can get em for under $50.. never had any problems.. has spring assist for easy one-hand opening/use, I've had it for a while now, and it hasn't ever given me any problems.. good knife.. so I'd go with anything made by Kershaw.:iagree:

 

[~KnuckleDuster~]

CRKT M21-04. love it

 

[techmen17]

smith and wesson extreme ops, cheap yet effective...



I also keep a leatherman in the truck too

 

[JCC]

I have another version of the black S&W Extreme Ops, but I really want to get another Kershaw. I need to go to Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops to do some shopping sometime soon.

 

[TOY2G]

SOG N66N, Have had only gerbers before this SOG and I have to say, I can never go back. perfect function, and i love the grip. IMO the best one on the market today.

BM Mini Grip about the time I got my '07 SE. Full size Grip unless I am going into California.
