The EDC picture thread

That definitely looks like a Strider. Yet... the handle says Buck. That is very interesting, but a great heavy duty knife either way.

You see a lot of collaboration pieces these days. Benchmade, Buck, Boker, Spyderco all do them. It's a nice way for someone to try a more custom design at a generally somewhat lower price and gets the design into more hands with higher manufacturing capacity. Sometimes the designers join the company but more often remain independent.

Spyderco has had around 40 of them (not all current) from Phil Wilson, Gayle Bradley, Chad Los Banos, Ed Schempp, Jens Ansö and many others.

I love the concept and the results of collaboration pieces. They can really broaden out a product line.

Mine EDC: Fossil watch + wallet .. home and car keys and one of the two Boker-s depending where i'm going (the big one is a counterfeit Boker model )

as for CCW here permission is only issued if you have a reason for one .. otherwise weapon carry for self-defense in public places is forbidden .. you can only have it at home or in the car. Even cold weapon should be registered into the system as soon as bought(but doesn't need a permit for acquiring it).

edit: forgot my phones HTC Wildfire + Samsung Galaxy Chat (can't go anywhere today without a phone or two ... )​

Average off work EDC. Benchmade 300SN, wallet, keys, Hinderer Aluminum Investigator pen, Leatherman Juice S2, four sevens quark tactical QT2L-X, and xd40 loaded with hornady critical defense and hogue grip in a white hat holster, oh and an iPhone 4 in magpul case. The knife varies between what is shown, a 940 with black blade or a Keyshawn cryo. Also switch between the quark and a preon for lighting.

the star is a texas star that a small company in Austin made for me and engraved the back. It's a keyfob that hangs on the pocket. It's 100% peso silver. As far as the pen goes I love it. It's the size if the fisher space pen cartridge basically and super light. The traction is ridiculously good as well. I have a Crkt Tao pen as well that I carry at work and like the hinderer far more because of the size and the threads are not as long winded as the Crkt.

Dig that Benchmade!

Dig that Benchmade!

Thanks I really like it as well. It's definitely not made for big paws though. I don't have huge paws so it is just barely enough handle for me.

Normal day:



(Oh, I suppose there oughta be a pen in there somewhere, too...)

Shameless plug - I'm going to have to sell the knife and flashlight, as shaving and Nib'ing are more of a priority lately. So, watch the BST for these, upcoming...

(Mods, feel free to delete if this isn't kosher!)

Ah, yes. They provoke an almost immediate attitude adjustment.

I've started to get an EDC kit since I started riding my own bike in the city.

In an old camera bag...

Add a fountain pen when I'm going to college/any place in which I have to write "seriously", a mobile phone, some cash and good to go.

I have two EDC setups... one for work, and around town kinda situations, the other for what I consider higher risk situations (like traveling in Detroit).

Here's the lighter setup:

Glock 26 (9mm w/ 124 +P Gold Dots), Crossbreed SuperTuck, reload, Gerber Paraframe mini, keys and the necessary tactical chapstik.

My heavy metal carry setup:

M&P9 w/ same Gold Dots, Reload, Safariland ALS paddle holster (excellent and cheap retention holster!), Timberline knife, and again, the tactical chapstik.
