WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?

[zp4ja]

CASE XX 65 Hunter
CASE XX 10 DOT 5375 Jumbo Stockman
SIG SAUER P220 5" 10MM

A Buck.

Nice piece!


I think the curves of the earlier Crosslocks made them look so much better than the clunky aluminum frames with slots cut into them used on later models. Been meaning on getting one with a hoof pick and another with a seatbelt cutter/pry tool, and there is a seller with reasonable prices, but not so reasonable shipping (like $15 each, and they don't combine).

2020 Buck 285 Bantam, Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops SFO. Never got why the 283 packed with it wasn't orange too.

Buck is sorely lacking in solid colors for the Bantam line. There's this one, and then the 284 in blue (which was a Colt SFO), and well, that's it. The camo patterns don't age well, as they are just vinyl wraps over black handles.

I think they were great knives back in the day... and still today I used to live in San Diego and I went to a Law Enforcement deal in the 1990's with a buddy in El Cajon and a rep. from Buck was there and showed us the Crosslock prototype and wanted our feedback for LEO use, cutting flex ties with the seatbelt cutter/pry tool, and genral use etc. I thought it was a pretty cool knive. Remember back then Spyderco had a BIG share of the LEO market and the "pocket clip one opening knife" market, not like today where there are hundreds (maybe 1000's?) of options. I wish I could have scored one of those proto types!!!

Hmmm... Mini Pizzas!!!

Mini pizza bagels--picked them up at Sam's Club a couple of months back. They're pretty good. The one complaint I'll make is that getting just the right texture is hit-or-miss. Sometimes, using the crisper tray they're packed on results on them being hard as a rock. Putting them on the "bacon cooking" dish I usually use for small microwaveable items often results in them being too chewy.

I think letting them thaw a bit before they are microwaved and then using the crisper tray they're packed on usually results in the best results.

At today's prices I hope they haven't gone bad sitting there on the counter for a couple of months!

Really cool bone on that Hunter.

Micarta all around

[Dan In MI]

And you are carrying some GREAT looking knives today

Thanks! Your Buck looks like a nice stout workhorse, too.

These again this weekend...

A most excellent trio! I'd like to get some range time with a 10mm.

Buck is sorely lacking in solid colors for the Bantam line.

That's a gripe I have with Victorinox and anything that has Alox scales and isn't a Classic SD. Your Buck sure does look good in orange!

Micarta all around.

Some really nice Micarta!

Choosing the Saturday carry is going to be sorta difficult for me...

[Dan In MI]

Choosing the final carry for a week of "from one AAPK member to another" was a little difficult, as I got a big ol' bomb dropped on me by TPK. I went with an F.H.N. Solingen pen from that recent bombing run, an Imperial that TripleF bombed me with last year, and a Leatherman Freestyle (as chosen by Bluegrass the cat).

[bighomer]

Noticed after I posted this ole heifer yestiddy how much Delrin haze there was in the jigging, cleaned up fairly well and so I decide I'd tote it again today.

[Sasquach]

Today's EDCs.

Top to bottom, watch pocket, hip pocket, and on the belt.

Sure made that one look better. Great job.



Rrider, that's sweet, love the splotches and the blues. Wow, is that cool.

[TPK]

Beautiful carries everyone!

I picked these for the next few days, maybe a week.

[Dan In MI]

Nice little group, Tom! The Purina is especially appealing.

[1967redrider]

Very Patriotic, Tom.

Nice ones, gard & David.


Going with this today, a good cutter.

Thanks John!
Good looking knife ya got there!

Thanks Dan! Purina knives got me started into being a knifer. Got this one from my Hometown friend John (AKA) 1967redrider. I love it & it seems to get more than it's fair share of pocket time.

Lambsfoot and a Barlow

Awesome duo David! A+

[Ivoryman]

Had the Schrade 893 all day. The 92 Eureka just part of the day. Love this old Schrade with Jeffinn bones. His stuff is great, check out Second Life Knives. Really like his work.
