There have been some other non-pinball collecting threads - I was wondering if there are any knife collectors on Pinside? Spyderco, Kershaw, Custom, Buck, Benchmade, James, William Henry, Esee, Tops ?
What is your EDC today? EDC = Every Day Carry (a knife you carry frequently)
I don't collect but got 2 guys I work with that were on that forged in steel, or whatever that show was. if anybody is looking for custom knives I can put you in touch with them. One guy won it, other guy got second I think.

My son is a hobbyist knife maker - nothing like those guys yet, but that's what he wants to do one day.
About 20 years ago I treated myself to a Chris Reeve Sebenza, unique graphic, raindrop damascus blade and it has been my EDC ever since. I have a much nicer "day one" photo somewhere, but it has spent a lot of time in the real world and has the scrapes to prove it.
My new bad habit though is collecting Japanese kitchen knives. I tried to sell my wife that they are a gift for both of us but she isn't buying that.
CR sebenza (resized).JPGNot a collector but about a year ago decided I wanted a couple nice knives. Love the benchmade axis lock. Both rocking black mini clips and both use crucible steel made 5 miles from my house 
Bugout (s30v) with carbon scales is my backpacking/edc.
The super freek (m4) is the trophy wife.

Quoted from Nhpolarbear:Digging the micro knives.
Can you tell me anything about them? Age etc.
The tiny Spyderco's are not old, you can get them on Amazon for about $16. Can find them on eBay a little cheaper, called Spyderco Bug. All stainless, kind of a keychain knife.
SPECIFICATIONS - Closed Length: 1.63", Overall Length: 2.9", Blade Length
.27" Blade Steel: 3Cr Grind Full-Flat
I have 2 Benchmade auto knives and a Spyderco assisted. The Spyderco is nice for the money, but its hard to beat a Benchmade.
Not a collector but I bought a Case Toothpick knife from Amazon for myself a month ago and I love that little thing. I'm going to be pissed when I loose it!
Quoted from Nhpolarbear:I’ve got quite a few. I’ll click a pick and post. I’m into small or micro knives.
Are these micro? My dad gave em to me in 1965 when I was 5. Mother of pearl, steel blades. Does anyone have any info on them? I always assumed they were out of vending mach in the 50s
20191211_093027 (resized).jpgQuoted from RTR:That Damascus pattern with circles, swirls and stars is SWEET!!
I enjoy it as much today as when I first bought it. There are so many more damascus patterns available today than when I had this done - Devin Thomas and others have really done wonders with their creativity in creating new and interesting patterns.
I bought the John Wick set from micro tech More as a collectible than EDC. But my Benchmade OTF is my EDC knife.

That is very sweet - and the price is right! I hadn’t heard of them before but now I need to do some shopping I see.
Quoted from DanDanDAN:Many moons ago I was a Hibben collector, had some pretty rare pieces
I has a switch blade years ago. No idea what became of it. I miss it.

Switchblades (auto knives) are now legal to carry in many states.
Quoted from Pinmeister:Switchblades (auto knives) are now legal to carry in many states.
I had it taped to my leg when I worked for my Father. No idea if it was legal then or not. Carried brass knuckles in my pocket.
LTG : )
Quoted from RTR:Uh, I think we are gonna need pics of the John Wick Microtech knives!
I can make that happen.
I noticed the poll shows 5 votes for "What's an EDC?" - For those who don't know, it stands for Every Day Carry - the knife you carry as part of your normal gear every day. It sometimes changes for your activity.
I have different EDC's depending on whether I am hiking, hunting, fishing, opening Christmas presents, etc.

Dirty Harry...I mean Dirty Lloyd?
Quoted from BudManPinFan:Dirty Harry...I mean Dirty Lloyd?
No. Just aware that the area where my Father's arcade was in the 1970 era wasn't a safe place to work. A few street riots. Crime galore. We had a huge trained guard dog too.

I started looking into knives soon after I saw this thread. Had to Google what EDC was, but now I want one!
My grandpa always carried a pocket knife. I’ve never felt the need for an EDC but I do like to know where my LeatherMan is at all times.
I’d be very interested in some direction on how to sharpen a knife.
Quoted from PaulCoff:Would Jack Crain be the Jpop of knife making?
I don’t think so.... It appears none of Jacks knives are made up of foam core, and they are actually functional. They also appear to be complete and ready to use.
I have had 3 EDCs, all Gerbers. I rarely fly, but I lost my first two to airline check-in. The third one I am on now is going on year 8. I can’t imagine not having a knife, I use it for random things all the time.
I don't know that I'd call myself a collector but I've always liked pocket knives and have around 40-50. Here are some, I'll dig some more out next time I'm in my storage boxes. I have a lot of case, some gerber, a Bob Duley boot knife, my original boyscout knife when I was a scout, some political knifes that I got at the time they were running for Pres., and just a lot more. Oh the big orange one is the OJ Juicer lol
PKnives3 (resized).pngPknives1 (resized).pngPknives4 (resized).pngpKnives2 (resized).pngI carry the yellow case and the blue thumb flip case most of the time, switching off at times of coarse. I grew up carrying a pocket knife my whole life from about 10 to now at 63 but it is fast becoming a world where you can't carry a "pocket Knife" as entrance into most buildings will not allow it, or the air lines too. I've given my son and my grandson knives as well but like I said they have to be selective when they carry them.
Pknives (resized).pngI was an EDC guy too, farming you always need a knife. But, lost 1 to airlines and 1 at a concert. So my edcs today are in all my vehicles and equipment. really like the craftsman razor exchange folders. Cheap and always sharp. Not very collectible tho,,,,
