What do you carry and what is on your list to get next?

Here's my rotation of EDCs from top to bottom

Benchmade Bugout -S30V
Benchmade Mini Griptilian -S30V
Spyderco Dragonfly 2 -VG-10




Next will probably be a larger Spyderco

For blade length and weight, I agree

Best bang for my buck was my Ontario Rat II with a D2 blade. Its at the bottom of the gulf, though. I'm getting another one soon.

Currently rotating between a Civivi Pintail and a Mini Bugout. I think I'd like the bugout more with different scales on it. It just feels cheap.

If I lost the Civivi I'd probably replace it. Not sure I'd get another Bugout.

Check out the offerings from Civivi and Kubey. They have some very nice budget friendly EDC knives.

I’ve had an Ontario Rat for about a year and it’s pretty damn good for the $

Benchmade Osborne 940-1
Benchmade Bugout

Benchmade mini bugout.

That’s quite the personal question. What works for one may not work for others.

I have several that I carry but if I’m going to the farm I’m always carrying my Bugout.

I lost the CRKT I loved for 15 years, and to punish myself I bought a $20 Smith and Wesson knife at Academy. It is a $20 knife that cuts what needs cutting.

That’s a loaded question but I’ve been carrying a mini bugout for the past couple years.
It’s small but also so lightweight that you don’t realize it’s in your pocket.

Some days I’ll carry a zt 566 for a change up.

Usually this.



Spyderco Native Chief. But I put a deep carry clip on it. You'd think a knife that big would be a problem in the pocket but it's slim enough that you don't really even notice it. It's S30V and I do pretty much everything with it. I would feel pretty comfortable that I could part somebody out with it if they required it. It's stabby as hell.

For an EDC I don’t have to be careful with I carry a Boker Kalashnikov Auto. A Work Sharp Ken Onion sharpener keeps the edge nicely.
