lureman asked this question on the Spyderco forum and I thought it was a great topic. What do my fellow LEO's carry? I carry an Emerson LaGriffe around my neck, a Leatherman Supertool on the belt. In my pocket is either a Starmate, Wegner, Axis, or Carnivore depending on my mood of course.

I myself carry an emerson la griffe neck knife also
A Gerber "flick o the wrist" multi tool
and a BENCHMADE STRYKER

A Spyderco Wegner in my pocket, a Spyderco carbon fiber serrated dragonfly in the vest and a Cold Steel Culloden in the vest. There's also a 14" Dhankuta style village khurkuri (HI) in my gear bag for those special occasions.

Most of the time, I carry a large Sebenza and a SAK Executive. On my tactical duty belt, I have a Wave and FB, a Mike Irie MFK, Glock Field knife or Cold Steel Master Tanto. In my briefcase, I keep a Micra and Military or sometimes a Carnivore. Neck knives are a must and they rotate between Emerson, Perrin, REKAT, RJ Martin and soon a Running Dog Pup.

One of several Fred Perrin neck knives, or neck knives by Rob Simonich, Ray Kirk and Chris Hatin.

In the pocket it really varies.

Kit Carson's folders regularly ride there as do a Sebenza, Spyderco Military, M2 AFCK, or 710 Axis. Sometimes a Microtech LUDT or D/A SOCOM.

There are others, but those are the main ones to get pressed into carry duty currently.

I always have a Leatherman Micra and couple of photon lights as well.

GT police left pocket, Emmerson Commander right pocket, Benchmade Nimravus boot knife, Newt Livesay Bowhunting Buddy neck knife, and a Leatherman Supertool duty belt. Can never be too careful you know.

forgot to mention that I have a micra on my keychain and a Livesay air assault in my bug out bag. But don't tell my dept, there is a policy against fixed blade knives.

On regular patrol I carry a CS Voyager with a 5" tanto blade in my pants pocket and a Super Leatherman on my duty belt. I also just started carrying a BM Nimravus clipped to the inside pocket of my jacket.

On my BlackHawk tactical vest that I use for search warrants and marijuana eradication, I have a CS Recon Tanto.

Nowdays I carry a Leatherman Wave in my pocket, a BM Stryker, and attached by velcro to my vest is a Livesay Woo. When wearing tactical gear i also have a Livesay Intrusion Team Knife on my harness.

I have also Pi$$ed off teammates or other street cops by refusing to lend out a knife unless they explain, in detail, what they intend to use it for and they get my approval. However after many years I think most all the street cops have seen the importance of carrying a good knife. Most guys and gals on my dept carry a Buck, BM, or Spyderco.
 
LM Wave in nylon pouch on duty belt, M2 AFCK in left pants pocket, Carnivore in right pants pocket. Occasionally a Lynn Griffith Texan clipped to the trauma plate pocket of my vest. Lately I have carried a CRKT M16-04 in place of the Carnivore some days - it is fun to flip around during down time...

I have lanyards on both folders and refuse to lend the knives out to people around water unless they wear the lanyards - ditto on the leatherman...

For some reason I just can't bring myself to carry my Benza or Carsons on duty...

I carry a Benchmade 710S clipped to right front pocket and a Livesay Woo around my neck. My old Cold Steel SRK is always in my bag.
 
Strider DB in the trauma plate pocket of my body armor, Strider BT in my gear bag, Strider WB on my tactical rig. LH old Spyderco Police model on duty. Off-Duty, lately an Emerson LaGriffe and a Commander. I have quite of few Emerson customs as the mood strikes me. Always have a multi tool available.

Mike 45: I too have angered many co-workers by quizzing them on their intent with my knife. ( A good friend of mine had his Spyderco Delica injured by the Chief Deputy digging a bullet out of a wall; Chief Deputy used my friends blade - he refused to use his own Endura!)

At work, I carry a Schrade Multi-Tool, & a BM Pinnacle.
Also been keeping a CRKT Cobra Gold in my back pocket as a cheapie/utility blade.
 
I carry a BM stryker on and off duty, just got a Nealy neck knife and keep a Gerber multitool handy. On my tac vest I have a well used Randall 15 that I can't seem to retire. I'm thinking about carrying a Sebenza to replace the stryker as I'm not really happy with it under hard use. Any suggestions ?
 
Emerson LaGriffe attatched to the front of my vest, Carnivour in my pocket, AFOsbt on my belt. SRK and Gerber multitool in my bag. On my tactical belt I have a Leatherman Supertool and a Nimravus modified a la the4th.

A SpyderCo Civilian, or Blackhawk depending on what I remember to grab out of my locker and a Buck tool on my duty belt. I am looking at a neck knife from Neil Blackwood right now however. I don't make nearly enough working for the county to buy all the knives some of you guys have.

I currently carry a Spyderco full serrated Endura in the pocket. I also have a CS Recon Tanto for eradication duty. I have been mulling around another knife, Spyderco Starmate or Benchmade AFCK.
