ileft my edc at home depot today after cutting the plastic bands. of course it was gone when i went back. any suggestions? don't want to spend a whole lot as i need that money to buy antique autos speaking of which can anyone i.d. the antique swing guard on ba?
missaman,
After a good deal of experimentation, I settled on a mini-UDT and have been quite happy. It only weighs 1.9 oz. and has great snap for its size. They can be had for $60-70 from e-bay
Funny thing happened at work yesterday. I was at my desk and really needed to fire a switchblade for therapeutic fidget purposes. I pulled out the little UDT, held it up and fired it just as someone stepped into the office. Fortunately he had a sense of humor. I am a politically incorrect person in a way too politically correct workplace.

Mr. mr. bigg,
I carry the Whirlwind. If you're going to Eugene tomorrow, I'm sure you'll see plenty of them.
Best Regard's,
Bonz

One of my favorites is a very simple french jack-knife with a carbon steel blade. [I got it before they "wimped out" on us]. When the spring arrives for my latest Hubie it will probably take over as my edc. but I always have a couple knives [at least] somewhere on my person. If I had to choose just one knife I'd go nuts, even manual knives can be great tools.

I stay away from anything longer then a 3" blade for an EDC unless I have a particular task in mind that would require a larger blade. I rarely carry an auto as well because of certain issues, I do like clickin' em' at home though. I carry a BM 556 (Mini-Gripitillan), black handles, plain edge satin finished blade for my EDC at the moment, at Benchmades List price its $85.00 US, but I got mine from Knifeworks.com for about 50. I've heard about prices around $45 but those are hard to find and its only 5 bucks difference.

the knife i lost was a benchmade spike i bought 5 years ago, work as a project manager and work often in the projects doing 300-400 unit rehabs for that reason the knife is secondary. my chrome plated pearl handle .25 auto pimp pistol is primary. better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6 . i like the smaller benchmade knives but don't like serraded blade prefer a regular blade i hope the guy who picked mine up enjoys it
