Right now, I have a Case/Bose 2002 pruner to go with my CF Police lefty SE. That's just a temporary thing, since I'll probably settle on a dfferent combo in a week. I too, like the conventional slipjoint to pair with a Spydie. At work, it's still a D'Allara and Spyderench (and has been for a while).

I am what I am, and that's all that I am. Popeye

Anything else as EDC than my Delica? Never! Oh well, sometimes the Calypso jr. but that's not quite EDC (Every Day Carry), right?

Aloha "Dinosaur"!

well, I do carry a Leatherman Micra at work EVERYDAY. Rescue Jr. not far behind.(but don't say a word or I will get suspended!)

I've been wanting to try out an old Uncle Henry 3 blader that I got, but they're a pain to clean.

Other than that, Matriarch off duty, and of course like Alex, my delica. i put away my SS PE Calypso Jr. so i no longer use it anymore. Been giving props to my Toad, and am waiting to test out some Jesters

Thanks again for turning me on to BestKnives!

Yeah, DINOSAUR! Old ideas, not "buying in" to "pop culture" ( or psychology ) or the
21st century, for that matter!

Earthdog - Brad Duncan is a cool guy, he has built 3 knives for me. Right now he is making something special for my daughter, she graduates high school soon and needs a slim edc for college and Brad's ball bearing pivot is smooth as snot. Rico
P. S. I just had another pink cricket arrive today and a custom Emerson CQC-8

If you really want an old school knife, I carry two on a regular basis: Victorinox SwissChamp at work and my dear old carbon #8 Opinel. They both have a nail opening thing and no pocket clip. The rest of the time it's my CS Recon 1 until the factory resharpens my Endura

Sold by spyderco but without the name, I'm carrying a G SAKAI titanium clutch lock. The anodizing came off almost as soon as I got, just by rubbing the handle surface with my thumb, there was a bare patch so I took the rest off with #0000 steel wool, looks good now. The thing is sharp as a razor, might not hold up for heavy duty stuff but for opening envelopes and everyday cutting it's great.

I did carry a CRKT M16 for a while once upon a time but sold it to a co-worker...except for that once, everything has been Spydies...

I carried a Terzuola C15S for many years, rejecting every alternative that came into view until finally going for an M2 AFCK. I carried that for about 3-4 months before getting my Calypso Jr about 5 years ago (along with a C19S that I never used) which became EDC until the Dodo turned up (I rotate now). My BM42 is always to hand indoors, so that tends to get used for a lot of stuff, but there's really no temptation for me to carry anything other than a Spydie.

Can't wait until the UK Penknife comes out - then I can go street legal.
