I am curious, whaddaya Spyderco nuts carry alongside your Spyderco?
A Benchmade? Another Spyderco? A Victorinox? Do you carry a beater like a RAT or a K55, or is the Spyderco Tenacious your beater and you carry a Chris Reeve. What is it?

These are the last seven pictures I posted in the EDC thread. Always a Victorinox... some Cold Steel XLs or Demkos, though they are not well represented in the pics, I love the feel of David Mary, mine feels like a Spyderco Victorinox. Small OTFs... Boker or Microtech. Knives like Buck 110/LW, RAT, K55, Opinel, Douk-Douk.

Have 3 different Autos that I rotate when carrying my Spyderco of the day. Benchmade Autocrat, Microtech Socom Elite, And Protech TR3!
 
I usually pair my Enduras (or Matriarch) with a Griptilian. Sometimes a Manix XL takes the back pocket beater role, with a Spartan Ronin Shoto in the front pocket. Then I got a Police in K390 on sale at St Nick's and bought a 20cv Grip off the Exchange. Ever since, that is the perfect combo for me.
 
I just can't get into carrying more than one knife at a time. I don't like keeping track of a second knife and I haven't found a good way to carry a traditional folder where they don't fall out of my pockets. So it's usually just my Spyderco.

This month is my Native 5.

Dear Hashishiin Hashishiin , that wood-handled Dodo is extremely cool! Can I ask who made the scales?

I usually just carry one knife at a time, but if I do have a back-up it is likely to be a trusty Victorinox Classic SD. That little knife is just too handy to leave at home.
 
My EDC is typically a Spyderco Canis or a KnifeJoy edition Delica with blue scales and 20CV.

Barring extreme security measures of wherever I'm going, my always-carries are a couple of keychain pieces -- a Victorinox Classic and an ancient Gerber lockback of equal size.

I've lately been playing more with small fixed blade knives. I'm thinking of supplanting or occasionally replacing my Spydie folders with a Swick 6 or a GiantMouse GMF1... In the past couple of months, I realized that neck carry isn't as horrible as I'd always imagined it being... :)
 
All spyderco blades are too wide to be optimal for every use. I always carry a traditional too for a those hard to reach places.

Thank you my good man! They are made of Desert Ironwood from Custom Scale Division in Germany, beautiful makers.

Love a good 58mm!
 
I always like seeing your SAKs with that little dude on them! :thumbsup:

Lately, I pair an Albers Cut Co jack knife with my Delica (VG10 with Flytanium CF scales). And usually, a SAK classic stowed on the keys or somewhere.
 
It varies, but typically a traditional and SAK to accompany my primary carry, which is often a Spyderco

Then there's the question of which Spyderco do I carry to accompany my other knives. Well, I've found it quite handy to carry a fully SE Dragonfly along with my primary folder. I carry it regularly, and it rides so unobtrusively in my back pocket that I often forget to include it in edc pics.

On the farm, I most often carry a serrated Spyderco especially for bailing twine, and a plain-edge 4-6 inch fixed blade such as a Mora or ESEE or Cold Steel for various other things. Or sometimes a Benchmade auto for variety. And maybe a machete or an old SOG multitool. Got myself a SAK for Xmas, but it is too hard to open and too easy to close.
