What do you carry?

Not sure if this is the best spot for this post but here it goes. I always enjoy reading all of what people have to say on here (and to paraphrase Ronnie, "read it all"). I love all of the knowledge and history shared about RMK. But what I would like to know is what does everyone carry on a regular basis? Could be Randall, could not be. What knife do you have on you when you go to the packy or walk the dog? What is your go to got to have when you leave the house knife for everyday use? Mine is a simple Buck 110 folding hunter. So everyone. What do you carry?
cheers!

Good topic. I have a Randall 8-4 always at home. Sometimes I use also a small utlity knife I have made formyself.

kalervo: every knife of yours that I have seen on here looks very well made, even the deer antler one ... I wish I had that talent...

I always have my ESEE IZULA as my EDC in a custom Kydex sheath. But for walks in the woods or working in the back yard, Randall 5-5 with Angier configuration baby!!

Scott,
This is a great topic and...I feel...would be better served in the "Sharp Talk" forum. If everyone is in agreement, I'll move the entire thing when I get back from delivering a Randall to one of my customers. Let me know what ya'll think. There will obviously be more than Randall knives discussed...(and I have photos!!!).
Best, Capt. Chris

I have spent money on almost everything: Grayman, Strider, Busse, Benchmade, Chris Reeve, Al-Mar, Emerson, Zero Tolerance, every ESEE made, much of what Ethan Becker has put out over the last 8 years and a whole bunch more. But, you know what? I end up carrying a Swiss Army knife in my pocket every single day. If I'm in the woods, it's my Randall 25. If I'm in another country, it's an ESEE product.

Same here. That must be an Indiana thing. Once you go SAK, you never go back.

I have no objection. I was not sure from the start so I just gave it a shot ... and yes, pics would be welcomed as well as stories. Looking forward to seeing and reading...

I always have a Benchmade. When hunting I have it along with a Case Bird Hunter and a Randall either my Pathfinder or Woodsman. Most times it's the Pathfinder. When the Capt gets that Model 3 to me it's going to get carried and used also. oldguy

colt 1911 or chiefs special airweight

I carry lots of knives!

One of these is always with me!

Randall #8-4
Randall Denmark Special
Andrew Jordan Scout
Bearcub Bear
Buck 110
Buck 112

This Buck 112 for trail riding.



And this Fällkniven F1 for backpacking.

Fällkniven F1 is a fantastic knife.

Randall Model 21
Ruana model 10
Reeves mnandi and Sebenzas
Various Case peanuts in the ole pocket.
Others of various makers all with 31/2 inch blade or less.
I can carry a firearm but only short blade knives. O.K. what ever.

My EDC knife is an Emerson CQC-7:








At the range I wear a MOLLE belt and there is an ESEE-3MIL attached to it:











Until I get the Randall Model 23 I ordered, I have been using a Leatherman Wave for hunting:

For EDC I have either a ZT 0300 or 0350. I also always have a SAK with me. And if I thought I could get away with it I'd carry my favorite Smithsonian bowies.

Steve, a cross-draw double sheath across your chest like in your photo would definitely be the way to go!

Here's what my daily (Mon-Fri) carry looks like. A Randall #5-4 and a Syderco Delica. Sorry for the grunge, but these are real world working knives.

tataaaaaaaahhh!!!!!

I wear a Chris Reeve Sebenza on my belt....regardless of whether I'm wearing an H,S, &M suit or blue jeans. I really like the knife and since 9-11 it has always been there accept on one occasion when I had an appointment with a client in the Federal Courthouse in town. In my pocket I carry a small SAK that is incredibly useful and holds an edge. In the field...back packing, hunting, or just hiking/walking I wear one of my Randalls, usually a 23 and or a Treeman Alaskan Skinner. Sort of got a new "hankering" for a Model 15 CDT for field/camping trips. I have seen some really nice ones here.

Rick, I like you idea of the sheathes for my Bowies. And that's the way knives are supposed to look IMO, well used.

Edo ... You almost had me there!
I like it ... except it would ruin the lines of my Armani jacket!

Benchmade in my back pocket, Victorinox small in my front pocket and a Randall Cattleman's in my Gutcher Beavertail pouch sheath, every day.

Pap

I always have a Swiss Army classic in my front right pocket (I'm left handed) I practically always have a Benchmade auto in my left pocket, that I've carried daily for 7 years, since it was given to me in Iraq. I'll add a pic later, it's one of the most worn out pocket rockets you may ever see, but it's been through hell and still does everything I ask of it. on occasion I will belt a 4" gambler to my left hip. All my big knives are retired...

Ok
I carry every day the custom Benchmade Griptillian with S30V blade steel and etching of dog paws and my dogs names on the one side and more dog paw and my name on the other side. I also have the Leatherman Micra with Photo light in my pocket. The Benchmade pen is a great writing instrument and is better than a sharp stick in an emergency.

When I am hiking or biking, the Randall model 28 is attached to the shoulder strap of my backpack. It has been on many hikes in central PA as well as all of the national parks in southern Utah. It is getting some scratches and a patina, but that is what it is for.

Living in the city, my regular EDC is a folder - anything from a Case Swayback Jack up to a Puma or a Trapper

I carry these.

The two EDCs are here:



And this...



I rarely carry a Randall but when I do it is my Model 19.

no wonder my pants are so heavy!

I wish I could carry a Randall on a regular basis ... an EDC.
Well, I guess I COULD, but it might "upset" some people in the offices I work.
So ... these are my usual carries ... in a pocket. The SAK is usually in my bag/briefcase.
From the top ... My Remington 1989 Bullet. Gerber Vulcan. Gerber LST/Gold Micarta.
A Laguiole. A new acquisition ... Hugo Koller Bartenders Knife/Walnut Handles/Solingen Germany/1980s.
And the SAK Spartan (34 years old) on the right side.
They all get their daily turn. The Remington Bullet is mostly for the weekends, in a pouch sheath on my belt.

This is my go to work package. The little Sig is a nice package.

That's a nice assortment Tony. I have one of those Laguioles but find it very hard to open. The spring seems exceptionally tight. If it wasn't for that I would carry it.

Nice Jimmy. That folder looks like it's seen a lot and been used a lot.

Dang Jimmy, that pic of yours reminded me of one I'd posted a while back. It "sorta" fits in the thread.

I called it "A few of my favorite things"

Steve, Thanks!
I've had some folders like that. Several treatments with Tuff Glide usually helps.

Thank Tony I'll give that a try.

Love the Hugo Koller Tony..... Where did you find it?

My EDC is a Palm Wood Triathelete; fits in the pocket or can be worn on the belt.

Tony great Hugo Koller!

Regards,

Tom Flynn

Thanks Tune, Tom ...
I found it on ebay!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400243375794?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1180
The seller ... Silverladdie ... has been putting up some cool stuff.
I don't know anything about Hugo Koller ... are these knives well known?
Tony

Silveladdie is Buzz Parker, Jim Parker's son. He runs the Seveirville, Tn. show (Parker show) twice a year. I have bought some of my Remington Bullet knives from Buzz. Good guy!
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Spotty Com. from here on out, as I'm doing the "Bama Thing".
Best, Capt. Chris

Yes!
I also got a couple of Bullet knives from him. Along with a few others. Good seller!
Found this about Koller ...
http://www.iknifecollector.com/profiles/blogs/hugo-koller-cutlery
Seems Hugo Koller made military knives during WWII. Some collectable German Army/Nazi stuff out there.
My knife seems to have been made in the 1980s ... a Bartender's Knife ... which got my attention!
Tony

He's got a couple of very interesting knives there! Too bad he doesn't sell to Germany

thanks for all of the great pics and stories.

cheers!

here is one I forgot - Case small sodbuster. It sees a lot of pocket time, covers nearly all of the EDC tasks and is SCARY sharp

Now THAT'S a no-nonsense EDC!

Here's one I can't believe I forgot too:





It's my constant companion no matter what else I may have on me.

Here is my new Gerber 06 Automatic EDC. It seems to be very well built and is very sharp from the factory. If I had to nit pick something, it would be that the opening action is a little slow. I like that it has a safety and the pocket clip can be mounted on either side.

That's a serious looking auto, Jimmy.
I wish I could carry something like that but over here any auto with a blade longer than 3.25" is strictly forbidden

When I have on jeans, I carry a Microtech Troodon auto.

In my dress slacks for work and travel... I carry this little razor. It will go undetected ANYWHERE.

Jimmy,
Your email address is gettin' kicked back to me...AGAIN! Get in touch, dude!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Oh - that Microtech looks like a mean cutter

Such a good flow, come to life!

This is my EDC - Strider PT, it does not cause increased attention
from the police and ordinary people. Light and it cuts well

There was no light for a while, so I decided to light it with a flashlight.
In fact, the my eyes see well, but for camera light lacks to make everything clear.

Strider makes an outstanding EDC. Great knife. I do not use mine, but I love Mick's Customs.

This is beauty!
I, too, do not raise my hand to use, if knife new))
Therefore, I specifically bought in the secondary market
from a third owner.
