Tough call

Post by Left Hand Path »

My favorite EDCs have 3" blade and usually some serrations.

Delica 4 foliage green CE is my favorite.
Salt I yellow SE is another good one.

I also think the Caly 3 has all the ingredients of a perfect EDC. I have the SE version, and plan to get a CF/ZDP if I can. Oddly, I have not used mine that much yet, but I anticipate liking it more and more in the future as it sees more action.

By the way, I also carry a SAK every day in addition to whatever Spyderco(s) I have on me - this is part of the reason I like serrations on my Spyderco EDCs.

Oh, yeah - the upcoming Stretch II looks like it will make a great EDC.

Currently E4 wave. If I would have a Street beat, though, I would carry that- screw funny looks!

UKPK, "S", Caly3 (esp the CF zdp version), zdp Jess Horn, Dodo .... :rolleyes:

For me it's the Lil Temp during working hours, and the Cento 3 when in my comfy clothes. But on a recent work trip I took the smurf Yo and was impressed. One thing I like about the blue Yo is how it blends in with jeans & how only that little tip of tail shows during carry, making it appear to be a tiny. skinny, unassuming little thing; akin to an iceberg.

Endura 4 CE (when I'm wearing jeans)
Delica 4 CE (otherwise)

(A small swiss army knife if wearing a suit.)

Caly 3 for all reasons except near water.

Persian, Tasman Salt, or Yojimbo if showing there is a knife in my pocket is not a concern.

BRG Endura

Stretch
R2
Millie ( my favorite being BG42 version so far)
Caly 3
Caly jr.
ATR
Lil Temps

I can live with any of these. Top 2 would be BRG Endura and BG42 Millie Joe

"Call me crazy", but I used to love my Para Millie. Now that I have a Pacific Salt, the PM sits in a drawer.

The one I have been carrying every day for 15 years: Endura SE, G2 blade steel. Others have come and gone, but the Endura is still here.
