What's your Cold Steel EDC today?

Pretty nice little compact /easy carry size Holdout .

Lot of SD and utility potential , for such a small package . 😎 :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I ve been carrying the Hold Out 3 for more than a year now, in addition to my bigger work knife rotation which generally have 3.5-4.0 inch blades. This is the first time I vet carried two knives in all the years I ve carried folders. I started carrying the Hold Out as a knife I could easily use around others without getting unfavorable attention. Particularly since I ve gravitated more to 4'' work knives in recent years. I find that I m using the 3 inch hold out for 90% of my work. I cuts and slices better than most of the knives I ve ever had. And it s a very strong little knife. And with the thin grind as well as the steel treatment, it holds an edge extremely well.

I wonder why the 4 inch model Holdout is no longer available.
 
When in bandit country, my folder choice for SD/ER is this Pro Lite. Very capable blade.

And always an EDC knife for utility - my SD/ER blades are never used, always sharp, always ready to go.

That looks like David Mary Customs mod , regrind SE ? 😍

Looks great ! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I’ll speak for him because I was part of the process. No, not David Mary. It was a plain jane flat grind Spartan, and he had the serrations done by Tom Veff.
