EDC…

[Roper]

Every day carry, not the firearm kind though. A recent flight brought to light what a creature of habit I am. I have three things I carry in my pants pockets every day. A knife, bottle opener, and nail clippers. And I use them a lot. Not having them on a plane with only carryon luggage left me feeling “naked”. Throughout the four day trip I instinctively would reach for one or other. Nope, not there…

Back home now they‘re in their place and I’m whole again.

What are your EDC things?

Don't carry a gun anymore, not worth the lawsuits/jailtime.

And here I thought this was gonna be an Electronic Data Capture thread....sorry, too much time in the research world....lol.

Mine look somewhat similar to what you've got there, Roper. Opener, pocket knife (more of a OEDC type of thing for me there).

RL those "nail clippers" sorta look like a roach clip

 

[SurfnFish]

never, ever without a pocket knife..fancy box a gift from son

 

[Driftless Dan]

Swiss Army knife, these cool Italian nail clippers I got decades ago, pocket change, and a handkerchief in my left front pocket. Pen and comb in the left front, sometimes accompanied by my mobile phone if I have no jacket. Back left, wallet. Back right, a notebook for whatever crosses my mind that I don't want to forget ten minutes later. That's my EDC.

@Roper is that a Ken Onion knife?

I'm with you Roper; I don't feel complete without a knife. I'm not sure how many of my knives TSA now has. EDC starts with my keys (have a nail clipper on my key chain, which is a piece of leather boot lace), Swiss army knife, chap stick in RF pocket. LF pocket has coins and maybe half a comb (I only have half my hair left, so half a comb is enough). RR pocket is wallet. LR pocket holds a handkerchief.

I have a bottle opener and cigar punch on my key chain and usually carry a folding knife of some kind. Here is the knife I'm currently carrying. It was made by a friend of mine!

I need a good knife sharpener too.. any suggestions?

A Williams folding knife, two sizes of Swiss army knives, silver money clip with a $10 gold piece.

Work Sharp Ken Onion edition. Search the forum, there’s a whole thread on knife sharpening (on my phone and don’t want to search )

+1 on the wound stop powder. While I don't EDC it I have a bunch of mini first aid kits I made and always have a pack of that stuff in them. It's like magic!

 

[up2nogood]

These days , I keep it simple on non fishing or vacation days , a small combination Swiss knife with built in finger nail clippers. Can’t be without the tooth pick or scissors that come with it .

Ya have enough for a Fanny Pack.

and nail clippers.

I had a set of those clippers for years (though not and EDC item for me). They were great. Then they disappeared to the great junk drawer in the sky. I should try to find another set.
