EDC vs CC

[M118LR]

Is your EDC the same as your CC? Do you select one over the other when you exit the house at the start of your day? I carry a S.O.G. Pentagon Elite most days as I exit the house, but things change when I'm not expecting to enter the concrete jungle. So CC is my normal, but EDC changes as I enter the woods. How does it work for you?

'CC' meaning 'carry, conceal'? Or something else? Just trying translate your questions.

all the blades both manufactured and custom are put through my edc rotation.. I have been carrying a 7.5 inch cutting edge bowie design for most of my time when I was in the military, law enforcement and the civilian life since retirement.. I also back the big blade up with a folder which is usually one of my automatics or either my emerson cqc7 which is switched out with my spyderco and other manufacturer's blades.. Most of my big blade carry are all custom made and configured for my specific needs

I used to carry my Cheetah, 9mm short. Switched to Shield 9mm because of the size and larger cal I control well.
If I have to leave it at home, I'll always have firearm in my vehicle, usually G17/22 with at least 2 mags.
When carry knife, my choice will always be one with wave feature. I could be wrong but to me, every rule that applies to SD firearm,
will apply to a knife, if one intend to use it as a weapon. To me, quick deployment is imperative priority.

Yes, CC Concealed Carry Knife. CCW would be a Concealed Carry Firearm. Sometimes you can do both, but I can't leave home without a knife in my pocket. Can you?

I should also add that I also carry a 1911 45 acp when I am doing the secret squirrel stuff that is part of my retirement

Blade forum, secondary sidearms may not be as large a consideration as a terciary blade. When things get nose to nose blades are better. JMHO. But many carry a pocket knife for more mundane purposes. (Lucky Buggers)

I walk outside and generally whistle past the graveyard. My EDC is typically my CC in terms of blades. That said, I do keep a push dagger in my boot (Heretic Sleight), and I usually carry a Spyderco Civilian in my back right pocket. Many days, I don't sweat it.

In short, I don't worry too much about my own self defense in terms of knives. I currently carry a Shield Plus and lean more heavily on that to take care of things.

That said, I have a business trip coming up to an area where I don't feel like jumping through the hoops of checking a gun with my luggage. I'll probably pack an eyeball melting light and the Civilian.

For all of its shortcomings, it's a pretty effective slash n run CC weapon.

My edc in town is the same as cc. Glock G22, 2 spare mags, PM2, M2, CPE Tanto.

 

[ShaiHulud]

If i need to conceal it then it's illegal where I am right now just have a boker barlow, so no need to be sneaky
But I'm not against something that needs a "CC"
Just havnt found something I trust yet

I carry a concealed pistol and a not very concealed pocket clip folder every day. Knife changes based on whim.

I follow the Law.

Yes.

I don't carry any firearms unless I'm hunting.

Will not judge any that practice 2A.

I don’t leave home without a knife or a gun. Knives are back up weapons and as for your premises of CC/EDC…both. The get off me knife has been a fixed for a decade until OTF became legal. Still working out if I’m going back to fixed.

I’m a tradesmen so I believe in having the proper tools for the job.

In my case that’s a pocket knife in my office and a utility folder in my plant and if there’s a gun there’s a backup tool. View attachment 2366420

I work in downtown Seattle everyday on the road making many different stops, and taking breaks in the worst areas of Seattle. I'll park next to a homeless camp sometimes and take a break also, not sure why. I don't know, I'm not too worried myself when I'm out there. I've spent a chunk of my life living in my car and having a horrible addiction, so I'm pretty comfortable around street people. I think they recognize that, and see that I don't represent a threat and show respect to everyone I come across.

That said, you never know when a loose cannon will cross your path, someone who's so gone off whatever they're on that they can no longer perceive real from fake, reality from hallucination, and they just start swinging. I carry an embarrassing amount of knives on me each work day, usually 3. I for sure mainly carry them because I think they're awesome and love to play with them, fondle them, and use them every chance I get. However whichever folder is in my right front pocket is my, if ALL else fails, I couldn't talk my way out of it, I'm outnumbered/overpowered, can't flee, LAST resort weapon. Opening all my knives, unless it's brand new, is very second nature for me and engrained in my muscle memory, so that's nice. But yeah, I try to just be a peaceful, humble, respectful person, however do absolutely think about what I'd do in certain situations and always try to have exit strategies.

Edit: I'm also a gun guy though and have always loved guns. I have a S&W Shield 9mm, and a Ruger LCR 9mm currently. However at this moment concealed carry permit is out of date, and most of my time in sketchy areas now days is while working where I don't really feel comfortable carrying.

Edit 2: I bought this guy originally as a designated self defense blade. It's a bad mofo and works great with the wave opening. So far I haven't really used this for any edc type chores because I've wanted to keep the edge on it tip top. However I ended up not really carrying it very often. I really like it though.

My EDC can be any knife I have; that comfortably fits in my pocket.
My C.C. is a 1911-A1; in a left-handed Galco S.O.B. holster...

 

[115Italian]

Work edc- (landscaping) for example, Emerson a-100 partially serrated and a Benchmade bailout.

Edc CC- spartan enyo on my belt right side, a folding knife in a pouch horizontally on my belt left side.

Typically outside of work not CC I have a folder clipped in my right pocket. A slim folder in my left back pocket.

I don't really think of knives as a concealed-carry thing. Mine is usually a MagnaCut Hogue Ritter RSK just clipped in my pocket. Concealed-carry is a Langdon Tactical Beretta 92G compact.
