Does anyone EDC their Becker?

I don't "E"DC my BK4 but I usually strap it on when I plan to spend the day around the house. I live in the country, deep in the hills and hollers of the Missouri Ozarks. I find the 4 handy as I move around my 2 acres during the day, beating, chopping or slicing stuff.

Forgot to say, that here in Czech we can (luckily, rest of the Europe is insane) carry any type of knife, nothing is forbiden and also CCW for the knife is not mandatory. You can open carry even a larger fixed blade.
But guns must be concealed every time. Only police and military can open carry guns. But our guns laws are second best on the world right after Arizona and Texas :-).

North Carolina offers open carry of any firearm without the need of a concealed carry permit! I'd say we are ahead of Texas!
 
Bk15 every minute since I got it, belt carry but dangling into my front right pocket. I live outside a little village where everybody knows me as the harmless friendly character that I am, and knows I live and work in the woods. Nobody thinks I'm trying to be a tough guy and they know that a knife is a tool to me and not a weapon. If I go outside of my normal area, I'd leave the Becker at home and clip my Kershaw Swerve somewhere inconspicuous.

Here in Washington too. Open carry anything you want. I do from time to time, but mostly concealed. Knives however depending on what I'm carrying I will open or conceal, and no permit is required for them. Like I'll open carry my 9 but conceal my 14.

And I carry my 13 at work. Anything bigger scares the sheeple around there.
 
I run my bk11 with green g10 and a kabar tdi clip. Its open/concealed on my belt hidden by my shirt jacket sweater.
 
I carry my 11 a lot on the belt - but only on the weekends when I'm in NH. I work a lot in MA and their laws are a LOT more restrictive. Of course, NH has NO carry restrictions, so....sometimes I carry my 15, 16 or 7....whatever the hell I feel like carrying, really. I'd carry the 9 or the 4, but I can't get in and out of the car with them, so....not that practical.
 
Laws in illinois are pretty straight forward concealed is like 3" but open thera are no laws prohibiting it. Problem is i spend most of my time in chicago where the laws arent as clear. I spoke with an officer and he told me there is no open carry none and concealed is by law 2.5" but they always go by the four finger rule. So my 11 concealed under my shirt or jacket is kind of legal. Most cops here dont care unless you look like they should.
 
My bk5 is my here at home working outside knife. So....EDC on my own property ......walking into the grocery store with a 5 on may be a bit odd.....
 
I EDC several knives but a BK14 or BK24 is always one of them. We can conceal knives with a blade of 3.5 inches and under so the 14/24 is perfect for Colorado. I carry it in a pocket sheath in my back pocket behind my wallet.
 
I'm waiting on CCW license to come through just so I can carry a BK2 under wraps for work and play and nobody freaks out seeing it. Gonna pimp that sucker out too, cocobolo handles and a nice leather sheath for my upcoming birthday.
 
I've been known to carry my 11 and 14 in my pocket on occasion. At one point I carried the 14 every day for several months. I just measured out a length of paracord that was a tad shorter than my arm's reach in any direction with a loop in the end, tied it to the end of the sheath, tied it onto my belt loop in the morning, and dropped the knife and sheath in my pocket. That way, if I needed the knife I could grab it and yank, and the knife would come out of the sheath and the sheath would dangle by my side until I needed it. No muss. No fuss. Quick and easy. Can't misplace the sheath, and the knife is tethered to me so I can't lose it either.
 
A 14 and 15 in my coat pockets, and the 21 in the ever-present backpack, leatherman surge horizontal (10 O'clock) on the belt line,
and a cs hold out I in the front right pocket, streamlight micro clipped to rt cargo pocket (yeah, I'm a fashion icon).
(It's night-night time, so no pics for you!)
 
I have been carrying my modified BK24 for awhile now and have fallen in love with it all over again. Great, great knife.
 
I keep my 11 or 24 in a concealed sheath in the inside of my waist band. Made by Patriot Leather co.
This is my office carry.
