How Many EDC a Flashlight and a Knife?

[adorable_harree]

The core of my EDC everyday is my Endura 3 and a Fenix L2D Q5 in black. Love these two...Even if I forget to add on another knife I'm good for most emergencies.

I always have at least one of my knives and a Fenix P2D. I've found so many uses for the flashlight and its very bright and small. Heck just the otherday I was driving at night when something flew across the road and landed on a tree. It was too dark to see and my camera couldn't even pick it up, but turn on the P2D and voila it was a beautiful little Owl about 15ft away staring back at me. 1st time i've actually managed to see an Owl in the wild...thanks to the p2d!

I made this little set-up for my daughter to carry in her purse. Shes 15 and lucky enough to go to a school that allows carry of a knife with B.L. 2" or less.

The knife is D2 steel with wssi stabilized grape vine scales & the light is just an inexpensive LED type. I added a glow in the dark lanyard end and bright cordage to the little kydex sheath so its a bit easier to find.

It gets so very dark (unless there's a moon) with no street lights on the mostly wooded roads where we live. IMHO, just a little flicker of light along with that little piece of steel can mean the difference between panic & anxiety or manageable discomfort when a flat or breakdown occurs.

I've taught my little one that a light source and small knife is like an American Express Card ...... you "don't leave home without it"

We just recently picked up a "first car" for her, getting ready for that soon to arrive day when she gets her drivers license One of the first things we did after cleaning the new ride was to put together a little survival kit. It of course contains, a good light, another knife, "space" blanket, lighter, etc. , etc. all in a waterproof hard side handgun case. Into the corner of her trunk it went, hopefully never to be needed. But, if ever she does, its comforting to know that its there. Comforting for me ...... and her

And please pardon the bad pics. It had been in her purse for a few weeks before I was able to take them so it shows a little wear.

Anyway, here's her little combo..........

Nice combo for your daughter David Wesner, can you maybe tell me something about that Led Lenser?I recently saw it in a store, and have been eyeing it ever since.

On-topic:I usually carry a Fenix L1D along with my EDC knife.

This is a photo I found somewhere else. Interesting knife design.

I was into lights long before I started my blade addiction.

See my list of lights here.

I generally carry a Fenix Q5-flavored light as my primary light, usually in a belt holster. A long-running Fenix E0 lives on my keychain.

Lights have come a long way in just the past few years. Not that long ago, a Surefire 6P was the thing. Now days, much smaller, brighter, regulated and longer running LEDs have supplanted it. Its a good time to be a flashlight freak.

MY light EDC is either my Wolf Eyes Defender, or a Nitecore Defender infinity, or a Fenx P1D-CE or a Pelican SuperSaberlight LED.

wont list the knives, i rotate thru about 12 all day long.

 

[bigbcustom]

LF pocket-native, and vic tinker, RF pocket-mini grip, chest pocket of overalls when at work-surefire E2DL

 

[jayinhk]

I carry a Surefire 6P Defender and a Romisen RC-C3 in black every day. My current EDC knifes are an Emerson Combat Karambit, Nemesis Hellion, Victorinox Huntsman (black) and a Spyderco Native III. Three or four knives and two flashlights every day..hehe

 

[znapschatz]

I always carry a tiny, cheap Inova Micro light, used to navigate around the house at night when all lights are off, in darkened audience venues to read programs or find things dropped on the floor, to look for stuff in unlit corners or under furniture etc. Most of the time, that's all I need, but use it almost every day. When I anticipate more serious use, I reach for one of several larger flashlights stored at home or in my car tool kit, but not nearly as often as the little LED micro. I have a spare in case it gets broken or lost, but after two years it is still going strong.

 

[omaha-beenglockin]

Benchmade 520 or 525(depending on the mood)---Vic Farmer(always)--Surefire E1L(always)----I go through a battery every month or so---seems like it gets used on a daily basis for one reason or another.

 

[USSR]

Usually a SureFire E2L with whatever folder I feel like at the time.

 

[mpc12]

I carry a mix of knives, but always have my Surefire E1B Backup and the Surefire Titan on my keys.

 

[Lenny_Goofoff]

I used to carry Fenix L2p, for two years ... lost it somewhere... meanwhile I use small light embedded in my cell phone. well, better than nothing.

 

[James Y]

I carry a few different knives and tools, but I always have my Micro Photon light on my keyring. IMO, the best of the little keychain lights I've owned.

[oaktree]

I carry a LM PST II and a mini mag lite in an old nite iz pouch. Along with a
spare house and car key. In my pocket is a Schrade 34OT. I just got an email from my sister to remind me to bring a flash lite to the horse show this
weekend. Told her no worries, I always carry a flash lite.
