I'm a student at UW (University of Washington, Seattle). This summer I worked at NASA-JPL (where they do rocket science). I hope to learn something from a real rocket scientist like Tom Mayo...I think that'll really strengthen my resume for when I need a real job. :)

Ron (guncollector)
 
I work as a mechanic at a bicycle shop. My knives are used to cut boxes, nylon packing bands, zipties, rubber brake pads, and anything that's pretty soft and cuttable. I also enjoy dropping ball bearings into customer's bike frames when they hassle me and try to get me fired by the owners. Perhaps I should wave my knife crazily at them and hope that they listen to me for a change.

Hobbies, I bike, I save for and buy knives, and ummm...I also bug these swimmer girls who tossed me into a pool a couple years back. :)
 
I'm a union journeyman carpenter. I used to be cabinetmaker and guitar builder. My knife habit grew out of my woodworking affection.

Hobbies(before marraige and kids): Guns and hunting, music and bicycling. Getting older is hell on the waist line. Oh well....

Just like edmoses, I'm a computer/network systems engineer. Most of my tasks are easily handled with a Leatherman Wave, but the Sebenza comes out for the "mass rollout of PCs in cardboard boxes" days.

I have many hobbies, the foremost being fishing/hiking/camping and yo-yoing. When I'm doing my thing in the mountains, my Dozier K-4, BG-42 Buck 110 and Bulldog Canoe are taking the brunt of the work. The Spyderco Military pops into the scene for canoe trips.

My yo-yo hobby requires......... not much in the way of knives. I cut strings with a Leatherman Micra. I have been known to pull out a slipjoint for carving the sides of wooden yo-yos though. :)
 
the same kind I make for everybody else....

I am in the U.S. Army working as a Biomedical Repair tech. Calibrating and fixing Medical Equipment. My EDC is a Kershaw Boa and I use it for boxes,zip ties,wire,opening MREs cutting Mre's cutting cord, whatever sometimes I even get to use it to disable (destroy) unservicable equipment and stuff like that. I also just like to whip it out when i'm bored. Looking forward to getting a Spyderco harpy that i just ordered, That will be fun to play with too. Hobbies are playing with my 1 year old son. gotta keep the knives away from that one for awhile but can't wait to give him his first SAK
 
I work as a Customer Quality Liaison (covers a multitude of sins) for an automotive supplier. My EDC is usually my TiNi SOG Powerlock (also covers a multitude of sins...).

I'm a lawyer, and I use my knives on unruly clients .... Nah, seriously, one of my favorite pastimes is hiking, which lends itself to ample knife use. My other favorite pastime is playing my electric guitar at earth - shaking volume (Les Paul Custom + Mesa Boogie amp = thunder). In this last case, I use my knives to open packs of guitar strings, cassettes for recording on my tape deck, etc.
 
I own a small business that caters to the "individual" knife and gear lover. I am a FULL TIME single parent raising a wonderful 6 year old boy! My hobbies include Fishing, guns/shooting, KNIVES, Kayaking, hiking, camping, tomahawk throwing, cigar smoking, catching Venomous and non venomous snakes, making things(anything). I have been studing combat and tactics for 20 years now and eat sleep and **** the "tactical" lifestyle. I am a BIG collector of Popeye The Sailor Man antiques and a big fan of cartoons(classic and new). My EDC is as follows: Summertime carry= Spyderco Rescue Jr. W/stainless handle, WH Carbon Fiber Spearpoint, Bud Nealy Pesh Kabz, Leatherman Crunch, Sebertech Sebertool. My winter carry is the same except the Nealy is replaced with my INCREDIBLE Hossom Texican. My knives are mostly used to cut boxes, rope, tape, zip ties, etc.
