What's your Custom EDCs?

Here are my EDC's the folder I made over 25 years ago and has been in my pocket ever since.It has gutted many deer and fish.It is used in the shop to open packages cut sandpaper,cut rope and anything else that needs to be done.The stag handled fixed blade I made last year for Deer hunting and it just goes on my belt next to the non cutter every day.

Lot of great knives so far. I really like some of the smaller fixed blades.

For folders the large Dozier is my primary choice, though it is getting competition from the Obenauf Model 3. If I need something dressy rather than tactical I go for the Kelly Carlson Hawk. If I go with a neck knife instead of a folder it's usually either of the two Todd Begg models shown, Tree Frog and Meso.

jujigatame you have a nice set up there. How do you like the doizer?


Thanks. I love the Dozier. Stout but not that heavy, very smooth action, solid lockup, great finish, the whole nine yards. Really, it's got everything I want in a tactical style folder.
 
here is a group picture of the knives i switch off on. Starting from 12 o'clock going clockwise CQC-8, CQC-5, CQC-13, CQC-10, DDR Gun hammer w/ Tritium in the spine, Elishewitz Anubis, Chris Sebbie New and Classic, Pat Crawford Triumph w/ Devin Thomas Damascus Hornets Nest, STR modified CQC 14, Dwyer custom w/ the indestructible CRU-WEAR steel, and last is a knife that i made Zero ground Chisel grind Tanto.

During the week, I switch off between the John Fraps and the Ray Cover folders.

Weekends, I like to have the Adam DesRosiers or Burt Foster along, also.

did you make those knives there beauties
Yes sir, they are the Stiff Horn and All integral Stiff Horn. I got the patterns from RW Loveless when on a visit out there a couple of years ago. In fact, I'm making bob and His partner Jim Merritt a set for our trip out there in Feb. after the Pasadena show. The All integral is a very modern rendition if the Stiff Horn that has been one of my favorites for years. I wanted to do something to make it my own. They have been extremely popular. There are two more models. One we (Me myself and I), are already producing, the all Integral city Knife. There is to be one more addition to complete the set. The All Integral New York Special. I'm just not quite happy with the NY Integral quite yet.

Her is a pic of the City Knife version. And a big Thanks JB!!! Mike and Manuela (the Sheath maker) Lovett
 
This is the new All Integral Little City Knife. I need to make myself one of these as they completely hide them selves in the back pocket even better than the slightly larger Stiff Horn.

What are the dimensions of that knife? It looks like it could be the size of a Little Bird, or slightly larger & what's the steel used?

Very nice knife, BTW.
