Ah, yes, Spyderco. Very nice. I have the Spyderfly, a butterfly knife. I think there might be some pics of it with some pens in one of my albums in my profile.

I bought one of those Centofante 3's for my son for Scouts, that is a great little knife. I thought about getting one for myself. Though I prefer thumb-studs to thumb-holes.

Hi there Leo! I too am a Leo...small world because I am a knife collector too. I have a Spyderco Harpy and a Fred Perrin Street Beat also sold by Spyderco.
The Fred Perrin Street Beat is the bottom knife shown here:
1466

And the Harpy:
1467
The Harpy has been my EDC for nearly 20 years.

Best regards
Leo

Hi Will
When you say the second knife, do you mean the Syderco Harpy or the second one in the first picture, the Fairbairn - Sykes Commando knife. The Harpy has been my most useful knife ever. The commando knife is probably the most famous combat knife particularly of WWII. Was your Dad in the Armed Forces Will?
Best regards

I meant the one in the later half of the OP's picture (bottom half.) My grandpa fought in WWII, but my dad is a yacht designer...

That is really scary... and probably illegal in the UK. I know butterfly knives are.

It gets creepier in the context of thread necromancy...

Boss gave me one of these and I have been EDC'ing it for a few weeks now. I kind of like it. Definitely handy if not a bit bulky.

not illegal to own in the uk at all or use if you have a good reason , a knife is a tool as useful and older than the pen .

hard to think of a good resonable use for that blade but if you can think of a reason or have reason , you can legally carry any knife in the uk .

i carry everyday the spyderco ukpk or delica which is a more non knife person freindly looking , spyderco are an excellent company i dont know pens well enought to name a similar company but i bet there is one , great ergos , blades steels , handle materials,designs , packaging and customer care.

Consider this a n00b question, if you like:

Why would anyone have an EDC knife? What occupation or lifestyle makes having a knife on your person ubiquitous?

The question is: why not?

A few examples: cutting food, opening packages/letters, cutting string, whittling wood, clean your nails, removing splinters...

Any more or less "outdoor" lifestyle require a knife.

Any more or less "manual labour" jobs require a knife (construction, farming, carpentry, electrical installations). People working in warehouses, supermarkets need knives...

The list is endless! I could not imagine life without a knife!

Kind regards,

Jos

Believe me, this isn't trolling at all, I was sincerely curious. "Why not" doesn't ever seem like a good answer, because virtually anything could fall into that category. As to your reasons, I suppose that my occupation (a professional musician) means that I don't do the kind of things one needs to do to constantly have a knife. Make no mistake: I have a set of tools at the concert hall, including some sharps, that serve me well, there just isn't any need to carry one on my person, nor would I want to. "Cutting food" - you're not kidding, are you? With the same blade as cleaning your nails?

Of course, most of this is about lifestyle, and I'm in a pretty urban environment. Every place I need something knife-related, there are knives available, so I don't carry one. I think, just as I can imagine people carrying knives all the time (or will be attempting to do on a broader scale), maybe now you can imagine someone not. :)

My EDC is a Delica. I'm out of my home state and feel naked taking the bus everyday so I asked my brother to borrow one and without hesitation he hands me a blue Paramilitary 2 (discontinued) in M390. I'm good. :)

When I was growing up a boy or girl who did not have a knife on them would be as strange as a den without a gun rack or a house without a rifle or shotgun by the rear door. From first grade on knives were truly ubiquitous.

A major playground event was mumbly-peg and whittling was what you did when just talking. Pocket knives were appropriate in first through about Little League years but by late pre-teens a sheath knife would be equally common. In class it was essential so you could sharpen you pencil before class or if you broke the led.

I can't remember a time in the last three quarters of a century when I did not have at least one knife on me with the exception of the recent utter insane nonsense of banning knives from airliners where I have to pack my knives (and firearms) in the luggage.

AbE: some examples.

I was considering a Benchmade 581 for EDC.

Been though so many S&W that cost 30$ I might as have sprung for something high end.

I carry a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian knife as my daily EDC. Also carry my multi-tool made by Leatherman. I might get a Grayman Satu if I manage to save up about $300.00 :):)

I'm not a fan of folders and just don't carry them. This is my EDC knife (belt or pocket, usually pocket), a Canadian belt knife by John Kiedaisch of JK Knives. For reference, the blade is 4 in., handle is 4 1/2 in.

http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k511/Pennanngalan/RockMoss2_zpsf84f5fa5.jpg (http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/Pennanngalan/media/RockMoss2_zpsf84f5fa5.jpg.html)

And an "in hand" picture. This pic was taken about 5 years ago before the maroon/burgundy micarta darkened and patina formed on the blade.

I carry a knife in my pocket - not as expensive as these beautiful Spyderco knives, but serviceable all the same. It's mostly for opening packages (people keep sending me pens) but occasionally a sharp blade can be useful in pen repair too. I wouldn't carry it outside as I would be hard pressed to explain why I needed it should the situation arise. It's changed days here in Britain. At one time most people would have carried a pocket knife but not now. Too much stabbing going on which makes the police very suspicious of anyone with a knife.
