Ed, you've been an inspiration. I want a bedlam for sure. How far from Southern California are you usually? I'm moving down to Ventura County in mid July.

Do you EDC an bore brush?
 
Well its part of my gun cleaning kit, it’s in a little bag on my vest. I mostly hang out in San Diego on my days off, but do go all the way to San Francisco every now and then when I’m on vacation.
Get down here, I’ll take you out for a lobster lunch in Puerto Nuevo.

P.S. The plaza cutlery store is going to be near Ventura county. The best place to shop for knives on this side of the country. You must stop by.
 
For the past 6 months it has been a rotation of five right pocket knives and three left pocket knives, of course only one in each pocket on a daily basis. The right pocket choices are; Kershaw G10 Tyrade, Kershaw JYD II, ZT0205, ZT0500, and my current carry, a Boker Titan Defender. My left pocket is a Case CV Barlow Razor, Spyderco Persistence, and my current carry, a Case Humpback Whittler w/Goldenrod bone. I have two more coming before the end of the year that will go into rotation, that being a Fallkniven PXL w/maroon micarta, and a large Sebenza 21 w/African Blackwood inserts.



Well things have changed and things have not changed. Still EDC the ZT0500, and the ZT0200. But now it is a combo of those two and; UE M1911 Standard, Kershaw Volt, JW Smith Extreme SD-3, Mike Irie Model 11, and a couple auto's, BM 9051 AFO, and ZT0650.:thumbup::)

Here's my daily carry rotation. I can't find my camera at the moment, so no pics.

NKP-friendly Pocket Carry
  • Victorinox Super Tinker (either/or)
  • Opinel No6 (either/or)

Primary Rotation (one of these)
  • Benchmade 943 (most often carried)
  • Spyderco Delica 4 (FRN PE)
  • Kershaw Skyline
  • Spyderco Dragonfly2 (FRN PE)
  • Spyderco UK Penknife (Maroon FRN PE)

Backpack
  • Spyderco Rescue 79mm (always)
  • Leatherman Juice CS4 (always)
 
Benchmade 551
Benchmade 943
Spyderco delica zdp-189
Spyderco dragonfly 2 zdp-189 (when I need a people friendly one at work)
Kershaw blur

Those are my most common.
 
Well I changed things up again. I got a couple of knives in today on a trade and it was too much, I literally could not fit all the folders in the box I keep my knives in. So I decided to purge. I put up a bunch of my knives FSOT and I think I have it down to just 5 or so users that I will EDC.
Cold Steel American lawman
Cold Steel Recon 1 (ultra lock)
Kershaw S60V Blur
Benchmade Stryker
EDI Genesis

And of course the Camillus Cuda Maxx bowie
And I'll probably pick up a couple more super sized folders to play with, BM Bedlam and CS Voyager are at the top of the list.

But then I always regretted selling my BM Dejavoo....

It's a terribly thing, the affliction of knife addiction.
 
Any of these...

This is my entire collection (at home).
 
So now I went and bought a BM Bedlam and Onslaught and a Cold Steel 6" Ti Lite, and I have a Mini AFCK on the way too. Me thinks it's time for another purge already.....

that polished American lawman is lookin' good, and I love the design of it, too.
How does it hold up to every day work? can you compare Coldsteel AUS8 with Kershaw 14c28 or 13c26?
 
I cannot compare it to Kershaw's choice in stainless, but I can say that it hols up well for the things I do with it. Stripping wires, cutting line, scraping garlock gaskets, sharpening soap stone. I even used the lawman to split a 2x4 a couple of times. So far no blade play. I carried the lawman everyday for about a month and even using it every day I did not need to sharpen it after wards. It could have used a good sharpening at the end of the month, but it didn't absolutely need one.
 
-Timberline Kelly Worden Large Tactical
-Spyderco Military (More often than not, I have this knife on me)
-Spyderco Caly 3 in ZDP-189 and Carbon Fiber (When not carrying the military, this is my second choice)

-Kershaw Blur
-Benchmade Griptilian 551 (Partial Serrations)
-CRKT M16-03 (Aluminum scales, pre Auto Lawks)
