EDC Rotation?

Since getting my Izula a month or so ago, I always try to make that my carried knife (I love this lil bugger). But if carrying it isn't an option due to attire or where I'm going...

Folder rotation:
Benchmade Grip (551)
Kershaw RAM
Buck Vantage Pro
Spyderco Tenacious
Benchmade 940 (dress occasions)

<=2.5" Folders
Spyderco Ladybug
SOG Flash I
Boker Subcom

And I carry one tool:
Leatherman Charge TTi
Leatherman Juice S2
Leatherman Skeletool

You nailed them all (except the SAKs :D). Below are some extra details about some of them that you could not get from just the pic...

Spyderco Military (S90V w/CF)
Benchmade 14460
Large 21 (G10 Scale from Barry H. to cut some weight)
Strider (SnG 3/4 Spear GG)
UKPK
Small 21
Large Sebenza (Regular with a custom scale from Barry H.)
Umnumzaan (custom scale from Barry H.)
Para-Military (Low-Rider Tip Up clip by STR)

SAKs are a Pioneer Pruner and my Boy Scout knife from my youth.

Sweet! :cool: The Benchmade I was not familiar with - I don't really know the HK line - but it looked Elshewitzy and like an AO model; very nice. And the SAK's I didn't even notice :eek: I guess I was just focused on your orgy of awesome knives there - not an SAK man myself, but they definitely have their uses and fulfill them well.

I'll probably post my own EDC rotations soon.
 
Queen Sodbuster D2 black
Queen Sodbuster D2 yeller
Case Sodbuster jr yeller
Case Barlow ss Salmon
Boker Barlow carbon Grand Canyon
Bulldog Sodbuster carbon red
Fallkniven U2 basic black SGPS
GEC Barlow stag carbon nice!
Queen Congress D2 Honey Amber Carved Stag
Byrd Robin
Buck Alpha Dorado

All nearabouts 2.5 inches, which is my legal limit. Some a tad over.

If going south out of this nutty place:
Native
Tenacious
 
Right now it´s either Benchmade Nagara, Benchmade NRA Mini Griptilian or Leatherman Expanse e33b. You can read my reviews of the knifes at MY BLOG.
 
Interesting thread. I always have a HAK on my key-chain, so that goes with me everywhere along with a Fenix P1 light (Old, but only 2.5" & 90 lumens).

I usually carry a slip-joint & a folder.

Slippies:
Boker Treebrand Barlow: Old with steel bolsters & carbon blades.
Bulldog Sowbelly Stockman: A '93 in stag & carbon blades.
Case/Bose collaboration Dogleg Jack: An '03 in antique bone & ATS-34.
Colt Congress: Made by Rough Rider (China), but a decent slippie in stag & 440A.
Menefee Back Pocket Shadow: Awesome, 3 3/8" ATS-34 blade & green micarta handles (4 1/8").
Queen #9 Stockman: Stag & D2, tough combo to beat.

Folders:
Begg Glimpse: Sweetest flipper I've ever had.
BM 425 Gravitator: Love Snody's work.
CRK small 21 micarta Seb: What more can be said?
Spyderco ZDP Delica: Love ZDP-189.

This lists changes constantly, though.
 
here is my edc rotation...well except for the Spyderco Street Beat fixed knife, I didn't want any hassles for carrying a fixed blade in the city.

Benchmade Mini-stryker (I carry this one the least)
Spyderco Stretch II Carbon Fiber with ZDP-189
And my newest favorite, Umnumzaan.

Hey Jamppa,
Just wondering, can you not carry locking blades in Finland? Or is it just your preference?
Nice selection of slip joints btw. Good working knives.
 
Its a preference really. I got plenty locking knife but moment you pull out Kershaw Zing or Kershaw Skyline and have its lock snap in office environment people intend to get nervous... And I kinda like slipjoints more.

I still like to have Zing or Skyline to be with me when I go woods for stroll or JYD II Composite/Lahar. For real hike and camping I got reserved JYD II, Lahar, Mora 2000 and Kivimäki Puukko + Michael Morris Necker.

I can't wait to have my Case Texas Jack CV or 6.5 StagBone Medium Stockman added to my EDC rotation ^^

Well it's nearly been a year since I started this thread and I just wanted to update my EDC line up. The only knife that has survived is my Vic Farmer. Most days I am carrying a Kershaw s60v Blur. But lately I've been trying my new Cold Steel Recon 1. I picked up a new pistol a few months ago as well. I've found myself really paring down my collection lately and just going for very good value knives. Moving away from fancy knives and moving towards good working knives more and more.

Tell us about how your edc line up has changed in the past year. Or if your a new comer just post what your options are.
Looking forward to more pics!

So I guess I'm just keeping a record for myself since everybody else is ignoring this thread :D

I still carry an ALOX Victorinox Farmer everyday. And then I choose from the selection of locking folders above.

Every once and a while I put this on my belt.

My entire collection to date. :o It's a pretty humble assortment, but I rotate through all of 'em. The only constant is the little blue Victorinox Classic SD because it lives on my key-ring. The Spyderco Kiwi 3 often tags along if I pocket one of my larger folders for the day.
 
lately i have only been rotating my slip joint.

boker stockman
buck 301
SAK cadet
SAK camper.
 
The last few weeks all I've carried have been my Damascus Delica and my small BG-42 Regular sebenza with the seb getting most of the carry.
 
Love those beat to hell black Spydie clips guys! Why I don't know. Anyway mine are:
Caly CF, Sage 3, Delica, CQC-8, Lum CF, and a SAK. Always a Leatherman Squirt in the left front pocket.
 
I still EDC a HAK. Non-working days I also carry a lg. reg. Seb with fluted CF scale. On work days it's usually a Hogue EX-01 (3.5" Drop-point version) or a Spyderco PPT.
