Spyderco Forums

I carry a solid brass knuckle duster not daily but sometimes.

I usually have a variety of small tools with me, a 24" cloth ruler, small brass caliper, ear plugs, titanium flat tool, Yubikey, titanium toothpick, spark striker, $20 bill, cell phone, one flat multitool, one mini Leatherman blade-free multitool. Wallet and other things if leaving the house.

Most used? Cell phone, then cloth ruler, then Leatherman. All the rest have seen use, except for the striker as that's just for emergencies.

I'm a minimalist who abhors bulging pockets, but this stuff goes with me almost everywhere. Aside from the recommended uses, I've used it on a sticky dropper post while in the middle of the desert with no other options.

Phone, knife, lip balm, sunglasses if outdoors.

LTT Elite Centurion, dog poop bags, and wallet always, flashlight for pre-dawn walks.

Ladybug, Victorinox Classic, and lip balm during the work week. On weekends, it’s a larger knife of some type, plus a Victorinox Rambler or Sportsman, wallet, micro bottle of hand sanitizer, wallet, and Apple Watch.

Depends on the mood.....HK P2000sk, HK P30sk, or a Glock 26. I'm with RustyIron, I hate anything in my front pockets except for a knife clipped to my RFP. I'd almost rather carry my phone and keys in my hands than put them in my pockets!

Flashlight and watch if that counts

I keep it pretty minimal
+phone

Aside from my phone and a 3"-4"folder, I always carry a Leatherman Skeletool CX in a kydex sheath on my left side. Generally keep a Spydie 'bug or Dfly in my 5th pocket as well. Olight in my LFP, small pry tool and backup rechargeable LED on my keychain. Now and again I'll drop a Case Sowbelly Stockman in my RFP just cuz.

You’ll never find me without at least my wallet, keys, gec 66 stockman, and 1 locking folder, usually a sage 1 maxamet.

I love the Olight Baton 3. I loved it so much I bought another 1.

My daily is this:

Knife - Choose 1 (Native 5, Demko AD20.5, Bradford G-Necker)
Flashlight - Sofirn SC31 Pro
Phone - with wallet on back for ID
Arc Rambler XL which contains - Pen (Copper Refyne EP1), small sharpie, glasses screwdriver, modded Leatherman Sidekick)
Keys in a KeySmart orgainzer
Chums Wallet for cash, and insurance cards

I hate to have lots of stuff or heavy items in my pockets, yet I also hate not being able to take care of trivial problems on the fly, so EDC is very much about striking the right balance for me.

LFP: foursevens p1mk3 ti AAA flashlight in the bottom, leather wallet above w/ a 3” CC Ti prybar inside. The prybar is really a relic from before I regularly carried a SAK, to save my knife from being abused for non knife tasks, but I literally don’t notice it’s there and I still find use for it ever so often.

RFP: cellphone

Watchpocket: Small MT/secondary blade: A slightly modified Victorinox Cadet most of the time

RBP: Dedicated folder. Dragonfly most of the time.

LBP: Earplugs.

And a wrist watch. Always.

This all fit in a fairly slim pair of jeans with no issue at all. No bulging or heavy items trying to pull my pants off.
To be fair, I hardly ever leave home without my backpack which has a more comprehensive set of tools and gadgets, so I can reserve my pocket space for convenience items.

Keys used to be my biggest headache, but luckily that’s a thing of the past.
