Who carries the most metal on them in terms of weight?

[Tuff]

Someone once said Cliff stamp carries 25lbs of steel on himself for various things. How much truth is there to that?

If it is true, who can top it?

 

[Cliff Stamp]

Tuff :

Cliff stamp carries 25lbs of steel on himself

This is not for use per say but for baseline purposes. For example I was doing chopping comparisons earlier this week and was carrying a 22", 18" and 15" Ang Khola, a 20" Sirupati, a Busse Battle Mistress, a TOPS Steel Eagle, A Strider WB, a Project I, a Busse Basic, a Barteaux 18 and 12" machete, a Stellite 6K knife from Gerber and a forged Cobalt 6BH blade from Kit Carson and Steve Schwarzer.

How much truth is there to that?

As much as there in anything else I say.

A HUGE solid stainless steel belt buckle, MicroTech SOCOM M/A, Mission MPF-Ti, Leatherman Wave, heavy divers solid stainless steel Seiko Watch, and fillings in some of my teeth

Never weighed myself naked vs. fully loaded before to find out

I think Cliff has me beat by far though

I don't even come close, but I remember reading that James Mattis carries quite a bit. He has a scan of all of his daily carries and there is quite a bit there. James, how about showing us that scan again

I know I was shocked to see how much you carried and embarresed at how little I carry.

 

[Marion David Poff]

I think you need to clarify what you mean by carry....

Every morning I put a Swiss Tool in my left vest pocket, an Allen Blade 52100 MEUK on a static cord in my left front pants pocket, a TOPS Talonite Shadow Hunter on my right rear hip, a Spyderco Wayne Goddard ltwt in my left rear pants pockets, a Spyderco Navigator in my right rear pants pocket.

In my backpack I have a Cold Steel Rifleman's Hawk and a Barteaux 12 Heavy Duty Machete.

In my hip pack I have a Mora 2000, a long and short Ericksons Mora Moderns, and a Frosts Laminated blade.

And any other knives that I happen to decide to throw in a pocket that day.

And my Madison Michigan 3.5lb Axe that seems to find it's way into my hand.

I don't know if that makes 25lbs, but it is surely too much steel.

And that does not include the other stuff.

by carry I mean what you carry on at least a semi-regular basis, maybe 3 days a week I suppose.

Where is James, I remember that photo....

DEXTER.

Definitely Dexter. Here he is on a light day.

Dex is the one with the Will Fennell hat on.

That's the one, James!!

I don't know what's wrong with me, I forgot, just for a moment, about Dexter! That's what he carries at shows, but does he carry all that on a day to day basis? More power to him if he does!

 

[tom mayo]

you guys are way off...THE TERMINATOR-hes nothing but metal....or maybe that other guy thats liquid metal.....I LOVE that movie!!!

Dexter will win hands down. He has more metal on him than a "57" Chevy.

Dexter hands down. He makes the rest of us light weights.

I think I may actually carry more metal than Dexter does, but in proportion to body weight Dexter wins hands-down!

I forgot about James. hell, you carry a lot yourself, I remember the other photo of what you had once day...

You need to lighten your inventory James. Lighten the Axis lock over my way eh?

 

[Blues]

Dexter for certain!

He weighs 135lbs loaded down, and 27 lbs when he removes his vest.

Some Knife Pix

 

[Double Edge Dave]

Since that last pic of Dexter was taken,he has gotten into a lot of large fixed blades as well.I have seen him with 3-4 fixed blades in and on his waist as well as all the folders in his vest.Truly he is a man of steel! I notice he stays away from swimming pools and other appreciable bodies of water
