And honorable mention goes to these... they are either rotated in or carried in addition to the above :D
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms..disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria

EDC for today. Don't typically carry a lot in my suit pants. Just got the Spyderco "S" a few weeks back - really light weight, plus a compression lock. As you can tell, I'm into Atwoods as well. Brass whistle for calling the kids to dinner - and Ti Pest on my key ring. I use the pry tool a lot more than I thought I would.
The pen is kinda cool as well. It is a Fisher Millenium Ti Space Pen. It is guaranteed for the life of the user and never needs refills. Ever. If it runs out of ink, just send it in and they will replace it free of charge. Supposedly the thing holds something like 35 miles of ink... I've had it for eight years, and I'm keeping the receipt in a safe place. They are going to buy me a new pen sometime soon, I just know it!

I added a US Shelby Co. P51 can opener, at least it is stamped as such, when asked by a cute young lady (while watching Swifts swarm down a chimney @ Chapman school with the usual enchanting crowd of citizens) if I had a can opener, for use on her olives, and I had to say no. I'm ready now. The yellow thing is a electric lighter/led, usb charged. The silver item on the Eagle Creek wallet is a cool thin folding SS nail clipper that opens like a switchblade when you slide the nub on its side. The P51 and nail clipper ride inside a four-panel Big Skinny wallet, not pictured, with a zippered pocket.
PS: The folding tool is a Swiss+Tech micro tool, the early original: Micro-Tech 6 in 1. For your amusement a link (no connection with vendor): http://www.swisstechtools.com/proddetail.aspx?pid=6

Ha, I love this thread. So very interesting to see what everyone's carrying around :-)
Here's the stuff I usually have on me at all times or grab when leaving the house without a bag. Lately I've been switching between the UKPK and the Squeak. On my keys is always a small Vic classic, along with a little lighter, flashlight and bottle opener/multi-tool.
Being a woman of course I usually carry a bag where keys, wallet and assorted other stuff gets stashed. I try to keep it organized and mostly well-arranged. That's the place where I carry some additional tools and where my beloved Delica(s) reside since I'm not allowed to carry them in my pockets.

It is a BuckLite 424. Thank you for asking JD. A knife that was dormant (unavailable from Buck) for 10 years but came to life for a Canadian Tire promotion last year. I was fortunate enough to have some terrific friends in Canada who graciously sent a few south to me.J D Wijbenga wrote:@oregon: what knife is that? Thanks!

When I went to OKCA last Spring the cognizanti in attendance, three great guys, of the Buck Collectors Club all enthusiasticly accepted 3 as gifts to the club despite being surrounded by fabulous, rare and costly collectible cutlery of their club's marque (they paid the club and bot them for themselves).
16.51 centimeters overall (6.5 inches), 36 grams (1.27 ounces).
It disappears in my pocket. A lockback that I like and find uses for regularly. Note, no nail nick on the blade despite one being shown on the packaging.

I got enthusiastic about the Buck marque after I stumbled into an exotic Buck folder in a pawn shop located about 300 miles from my home. It looked, felt and smelled like titanium and had the Buck name on it. I was able to buy it for $60 and began to research it thereafter.
It turned out to be the Buck 186 associated with the American weapon inventor Charles "Mickey" Finn, now deceased. This fellow and this knife, along with other knives he is associated with, told quite a tale and this really put the hook into me.
A fellow in Idaho just wrote a book about Finn's knives, the Buckmaster 184 and its association with a Seal Team.
Here is a link to pics and talk you might find interesting: http://www.quarterbore.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25
I still have the 186 and I've acquired a couple new supersteel blades for it. This knife came with a tool attached used to dismantle the knife.
All the best.
LOL I see your also missing your VW logo on your key! Glad I'm not the only one!phillipsted wrote:
Sweet S also!! I almost got one about three weeks ago but for some reason decided against it. Regretting it now, of course
Here's my EDC. I'll rotate between the three, usually its the Para2 or the Manix2 I've got a CRKT M21 I'll throw in the mix once in a blue moon also
Also thinking about getting either a Fenix PD31 or possibly a PD20. Still not sure on which one though
