Sidearms & Scatterguns Post a pic of your EDC knife under $200

I'm on the fence on getting a new EDC knife. Post up a pic of what's your daily carry.

I just picked up this Spyderco Paramilitary a few weeks ago and I am digging it pretty well so far.

 

[chaser_2332]

i have concidered a emerson, also looking at ZT

Benchmade Griptilian

Im not a knife guy but I just bought an adamas last week, if its too big for edc ill probably swap it for a grip.

 

[ggmanning]

Had an Emerson Horseman that was my favorite everyday carry. It got lost from leaving it on my tailgate and I picked up this Journeyman....no plain blade horseman in stock anywhere at the time

I prefer larger EDC's b/c I'm a bigger guy, but I do carry my 707 quite a bit too:

 

[ZLBubba]

I love the HEST. It's a strong, sharp D2 blade with a window punch and wirestrippers conveniently placed. I only wish it weighed a couple ounces less, but you can't have everything, right?

 

[WildBill3/75]

I like to keep my EDC small and simple. Schrade Old Timer 340T, SAK Cadet, Kershaw Skyline, or Spyderco Delica 4....Got alot of other knives but I have gone away from EDCing larger knives...

 

[ZLBubba]

If I'm not going to a government building (where blades aren't allowed), you'll find that HEST in my back pocket. You're welcome to come frisk me...

 

[chaser_2332]

Thinking hard about they ZT 0560 what do u think about your hawk?

 

[pyplynr]

The Zero Tolerance 350TS knife is a great knife. It's what I carry everyday now.

 

[Biggerhammer50]

Spyderco Manix 2
CPM S30V blade
This thing is spooky sharp.

Spyderco sage in carbon fiber

 

[stmcelroy]

ZT 0561 for me.

Awesome knife. Best thing is the pocket clip allows the knife to sit deep in the pocket, plus it's not that heavy for how large it is. I also have a ZT 0300 and can't EDC it because of the weight and pocket clip design.

 

[EXTREMEPREJUDICE]

TOPS CQT 304, been carrying for years and still works.

 

[b7tac]

Here are mine. BM551 Griptilian, BM810 Contego, ESEE 4.

I usually carry the Contego, but the other two are in the mix depending on my clothing and where I may be going.

Lately I've been carrying a Benchmade 581 Barrage and really like it. No pic of it at the moment though.

I'm also partial to my Spyderco Delica Wave though too:

 

[flysolo]

ZT 561 here. It's massive for edc but surprisingly light and I like a large multi role knife on me. The benchmade adamas is a comparable knife (size and use wise) for about a hundred bucks less. Have carried benchmade 950 rift and 940 Osborne, both well under $200 and fine knives. The 940 is a very light, sleek, edc yet has enough blade and handle for some harder use. Benchmades quality control is just a bit spotty, but their customer service will take care of anything you're not satisfied with. Haven't had to use ZT customer service yet but I hear it's excellent.

I typically carry a gerber combat folder or a browning black label tactical fixed blade. Yesterday at Walmart I scooped up this Kenshaw. I'm very pleased, its smaller than the knifes I normally carry, nice blade, textured grips, & assisted opening all for under $30. I don't know how long it'll last but I'm pleased so far.

Here's my EDCs together.

XDS in a Cook's iwb kydex & the Kenshaw.

I have carried CRKTs for years they aren't horribly expensive and have held up quite well. I have a Kershaw that isn't bad but the CRKTs are definitely my goto EDC blades.

I carry a zt0350. Its a nice knife .

 

[dgrifith21]

ESEE 3 Military

 

[Boyscout618]

CRKT M16-13Z has been my main pocketknife for four years or so, but it is getting old, so I just ordered an Ontario RAT-1 because I have only heard good things about them. Also looked at the Spyderco Resilience, but it seemed like a lot of knife for regular work.

Here is a standard Internet picture.

 

[KillShot]

I tend to lean toward the bigger knives, like someone else mentioned above. Here is my own edc knife, the CRKT M21-04G, pictured with my edc 1911.

 

[Twitch2120]

spyderco native. you can make a shade tree emerson opener on any spyderco by putting a ziptie in the hole.

 

[themightytimmah]

I'm partial to the mini barrage for work/hard use carry, and the 470 Osbourne for dress carry.

 

[Baron85]

Al mar

My edc for the last couple years has been an al mar sere full size. Think I paid around $215 for it. Changed from benchmade griptillion and kershaws. The action is so smooth and fast blade holds an edge for a really long time and it gets used a lot on the job. Only thing I miss on the bench made is the locking system i prefer the release of the bemchmade over the liner lock but its only the idea of having to put my fingers where the blade is going to release it.

 

[gatorforgeck]

I have the 0561 and love it. It has a lot better feel than the 0300 or 0350 due to a narrower profile. The scales give you great grip, and its a beast of knife, no blade play at all. The downsides: Its huge; The frame lock is so stiff you'll need two hands to unlock it sometimes, theres a trick, but thats for another day; Its a fair sight above that $200 ceiling you initially put in. Hope this helps.

SOG mint tac auto. Great little knife. Small, lightweight and has an outstanding pocket clip: carries very low in the pocket.

same here, and the hair shorter tanto version

My current is an Al Mar Mini SERE 2000.

Great EDC. Can be had for just at $200, perhaps a little under.
