Your daily carry knives

In the knife department I carry a XM-18 and a Swiss Army knife every day, I have several flavors of each. I also carry a fixed blade in my vehicle as well as a RMJ shrike in my patrol car
 
I carry a Case mini copperlock or Buck canoe in my front pocket, a Buck vantage in my back pocket recently, and a Buck 112 or Case trapper (as ground blade) on my belt.

Still looking for a replacement for the modern one handed opener....

I have to get some of these Case Ivy knives - that Peanut is stunning.

Case really need to get someone to take better photos for them - the actual knives are so much better than the pictures on their website.
 
I'm pretty much a ZT 0562cf, ZT 0550/551 or Hinderer 3" wharnie or 3.5" wharnie for my daily blade carry. I rotate through a variety of firearms depending on the need and the season.....my light choice also tends to vary depending on need.
 
First off, the pictures of your knives are amazing, Gary :thumbup:.My default knife of choice has changed several times over the years, but for the majority the past decade, it's been a ti-handled framelock. Currently, it's a LionSteel SR2 and it's paired up with a Victorinox Executive most of the time.
 
My EDC generally consisted of:

Victorinix SAK Executive
CRK small Insingo
Victorinix Swisstool Spirit
And sometimes my Victorinox Spartan w/mini-screwdriver comes along for the ride.

As long as it's legally permitted, I always carry either a Spyderco Dragonfly (clip removed) or a Case Peanut and one other, larger knife.
 
The knives I carry often change daily. There are some things that never change though. I always have these on me: Juice CS4, Preon 1, Uzi pen with glass breaker, and my Glock 26. That said, if I am at the gym or in the water I won't carry the previous but will have a Salt knife of some sort on me.

I've got a lengthy hospital stay coming up and that means pajama pants and a very lightweight folder. Which means I finally have a really good excuse to pick up an SE Pacific Salt.

Sucks about the hospital stay but :thumbup: for a new knife and the salt line is fantastic. Which one are you looking at?

Pacific Salt SE with yellow FRN. I like bigger folders, but I figured something bright and friendly so the hospital staff don't yell at me too much.
 
Nice day carry Gary, those have lots of character.

Wish I had nice knives to carry, i tend to carry simple but good enough knives.

I work at 2 sushi bars for my employer, so I carry my chef knives eith me. But I don't think that counts as daily carry hehe.
 
Great thread Gary. I carry an Alox Classic SD on my truck keys, Minichamp in a homebrew "sheath" made from heat-shrink tubing on my keychain and either a Case, Buck or Northfield stockman or trapper in my pocket.

Really nice guys, I'm liking the set that I narrowed down to, as I say in my 'manbag' there is the Swiss Army Tool, I like it a lot better than the Leatherman, had one of those for a very long time now. What I am using as what one lady at work called it my purse...:( lol is a Craftsman two pocket zippered pouch. Very handy one side has electronic gizmo's cables, phone and iPod classic and the other has the Swiss Army tool, a set of torx wrenches, a couple more of the larger/more tools SAK like the Tinker and Mechanic for odds and ends but it's rare that I end up using those, but you never know!

And of course flashlight(s) always need a good flashlight. I had a streamlight but recently moved to a Thorfire AAA one that I like a lot, battery life is short if used on the higher output but it really throws a nice beam of light.

I would have to go with an Endura ffg, Bm grip or mini grip, Ritter mini grip, Spyderco Squeak & serrated Vic Spartan. Using a ffg Delica for work. Sometimes a Kershaw Skyline or Link. It varies. But the Squeak & Vic has more pocket time off work. Gary
 
Jackknife, are those Christys pretty sturdy? Do they open and close with purpose?
