EDC - What's In Your Pockets?
-
@henry_david do you like the punkt cellphone? How do you survive without google maps, etc?
-
I rly dig it, @68degreesorless. I've had a dumb phone of one kind or another for the last five years with good effect. It was hard for several reasons:
-
no GPS
-
no rideshare
-
no email
-
no MMS/group chats
Once I schooled my buds on not sending me photos or including me in group texts, it was smoother sailing. I then memorized the # of a local taxi service (415 333 3333 isn't all that hard lol) and began consulting Google Maps before leaving the house, writing down the turn-by-turn directions fo reference. I'd often end up not needing them as writing them down led to some sorta memory retention.
Overall, I would totally recommend it. I don't feel so beholden to being in constant communication all the time.

@henry_david thanks for the feedback. I love the idea of this and continue to think about how to make this happen.

…more like 'Daily Metal' and stuff.

…@henry_david yes sir! Limited Edition aircraft aluminum.
...I see you're a Micro-tech OTF 'Outlaw' also. :o
First and last serrated edge for me.

Ah yes! Love that Ultratech dude. Have one of those in TX for when ai visit my Mom. You carry it often, @vaquero357?
-
…@henry_david Nyet. Used to, but now I roll with the slimmer Bugout...and a CRKT boot knife.

After a couple of rough months, I decided it's time to treat myself to something nice.
This didn't disappoint!

That’s so beautiful @scarfmace
Love both the scales and blade shape -
Finally tracked down an IH card holder at Rivet and Hide. A nice alternative to my Flat Head bifold

@Bored In Breck that looks to be the epitome of solid, good quality kit. The Omega, the BB, the wallet. Is than the USMC sigil on the knife? Who makes that one?
-
@neph93 Thanks! That is just a Benchmade "Osbourne Designed" folder.

Ah… both Benchmade and Zero Tolerance are on my list of brands I’d like to try.
I picked this up a while back, and while my two small MKM knives are my EDC/beaters this fella demands a place in my pocket.

ZT is probably my favorite mass manufacturer brand now and I say that with prejudice towards Spyder because they’re local to me @neph93
My normal DC is a ZT flipper and the action is on par with a custom. Just a great product.

My first “proper” knife was a Spyderco, Para 3, and while I appreciated a lot about it I’ve since discovered I prefer other brands. Having the closing mechanism on the spine of the knife was always an issue for me. Fox and MKM have it underneath and I find one handed closing a lot easier. It was the less Spyderco features of this Smock collab that attracted me to it. The flipper and the button for closing, as well as the blade shape and slender profile.

@neph93 @mclaincausey Very cool, Spyderco is local to me as well. Haven’t picked one up for some reason, but I have heard they are great. That pic makes me think I should grab one….
-
Spyderco’s price/performance is hard to beat! I just love flippers and ZT does those so well.
Flipper or no, I love a frame lock mechanism in Ti.
