Anybody use the Perrin Spyderministreetbowiekitchenknifethingy as their EDC? Was thinking of picking one up, since I was looking for a very light knife that I would hardly notice once sewed to the inside of my jacket, and one that was very quick to draw. Thanks.
 
I have occassionally, it is basically not there until you need it. Wear it either IWB or in the front pocket, it sorta disappears on ya.

What may work realy well for eitehr option is wrapping a rubber band around the sheath to give it a little grab. Result will be it comes out of the sheath easier.

Enjoy it as EDC, with a little forethought a fixed blade is as easy to carry as a folder for most people.

Hey...

All I can say is that its a bloody awesome blade...

There isn't Anything about the knife that I don't like.It's thin,, wicked sharp, and feels Great in the hand....

You can't go wrong...

Just my opinion though..

The only reason I haven't bought one is because we are limited to a 4" blade. :( :( :(

Looks like an awesome knife.
 
If I remember correctly Sal said in a post that they could custom grind blades. Maybe have Spyderco trim it back for you???
 
I have been carrying the Perrin off an on for 2 or 3 months now, and think that it is an outstanding knife that carries well. It has everything I really need from an EDC fixed blade. Very light, easy to sharpen, great grip, carries well, sharp, flat ground, excellent penetration, etc, etc. It's my favorite fixed blade right now actually. I would carry it more but, I don't like carrying fixed blades at the University. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
 
The Spyderco Perrin makes an outstanding EDC!! Best carried IWB set up for Drawpoint. Just enough for the city!
 
Fred's knives are extremey simple, which is refreshing in this market. I don't have a Spyderco Perrin, but I have made several small-ish fixed blades with handles very similar to the Perrin Street Bowie shape and they are very comfortable. The thin stock and deep finger notch, making the choil very thin, is really nice. I feel having the thumb (if you use a grip where the thumb rides on the spine) and index finger closer together give a knife a lot more control than if there is 2 inches of 1/4" thick choil separating them! Just my 2 cents. What I need to do now is find someone who wants a Trailmaster in exchange for their Perrin! Wish me luck!
 
I carry mine as an EDC when mucking around my small town of Wasilla, but I don't venture into Anchorage with it. I usually carry it set up for draw point with the lower third or the sheath in my front pocket. It's light, comfortable, and surprisingly tough. Also has excellent retention qualities, and it's extremely versatile for day to day cutting chores. The Perrin is as good as a knife can get for the $100 price range.

I'm thinking about getting two more for spares...:D
 
My Perrin finally arrived, and I must admit, it's one hell of a nice knife, and I'm very pleased with my purchase! Looks good, feels good, cuts good. 'nuff said. My first spydie... I think I like that little spider symbol... might be the start of a beautiful relationship!
