All About Pocket Knives

Jim; Those sound like 2 very Good Laws to me! Do you think

we will ever have those 2 Laws passed in California?

Probably not in our lifetime. I was surprised it all came about with a Democrat for Govenor. Most of my friends and co-workers carry now. I've had a CCW, for the past ten years. Working in a Forensic Center which is a prison for the criminally insane certainly helped. When I went in front of the gun board, they didn't even ask why I wanted one. The county prosecutor just said where I worked at and everyone said yes. Now, people don't even have to go in front of a gun board. They just fill out a one page form declaring that they've never been mentally ill, and pay their $100.00. They also take a CCW class. Permits are good for five years. Move to Michigan is my advice.

Most of Arizona has become pretty sofpistic...er, cosmospolly...er, "modernized" I guess.
However, we can still carry a firearm openly... ...and only if you wish to carry concealed, do you need a permit. I for one, sure hope that never changes, as it would just signify further erosion of individual choice.

Sigh.

today my EDC is a jason jack Raptor (talonite blade and carbon fiber)


and a little SAK victorinox Mini-Champ (sorry no picture for this)

I've been changing my EDC knives lately. For the past yr, I carry a kahr PM9, recently a Kel-Tec P-32 as a BUG, a Benchmade 210 Activator as a kneck knife, & changing my main knife every few weeks.

Right now, it's Buck/Strider 882, but I'll probably start carrying the Benchmade HK 14250S. I'm picking up a few nice knives that I'll probably put in the rotation. For most of the last 8 yrs, my knife EDC was an Emerson CQC7.

today two Pat Crawford Standard Knives :

Unfortunately, no. There are some counties that are easier to obtain a CCW from, but it's not L.A. county.

Here is my EDC:
A Jens Anso Rebel
A Charles May Fireant
A McGizmo McLuxIII PD

my everyday EDC RAT-3 & LM wave

Buck Quest and Spyderco Delica.

I edc a variety of things! I always carry two knives. One is in my left pocket and is usually a small slipjoint. This includes a Case Barlow or Case Gunstock. I also carry a Protech Runt2 w/o clip and is what's in my pocket right know. I also carry change, lighter, or anything else I need to in that left front pocket. My right front pocket carries ONLY my large tactical folder for the day. This switches between; a Strider AR modified with a deep carry clip so that only the clip shows when in my pocket, currently my edc. I also carry a BM Rukus, Blade-Tech Rijbak, Kershaw ZT0200, or a large Classic Sebenza w/snakewood inserts. As I said, my current carry is my Protech Runt 2 in my left front pocket, and my Strider AR in my right front pocket...........between the two I think I have things covered!

after some holidays in your country (actually very interesting for European guys with the rates) i have a new one EDC : a little mnandi from Chris Reeves production. I'm very happy

On a normal day when I leave the house I have a S&W 325PD worn strong side in a Hume J.I.T., a Colt Detective Special (old model) worn weak side in a Hume J.I.T. set up for either crossdraw with strong hand or twist draw with weak hand, and in a Kramer Confidential T-Shirt normally a Kel-Tec PF-9. If not the PF-9 I will slip a 2" S&W Model 12 into my right front pocket.

I also carry 2 reloads for each, a pocket clip knife...most often an AG Russell Folding Spear Point, and a slip joint (CV Case Peanut or Case Shadowbone Baby Butterbean) in the watch pocket or a larger slip joint like a soddie in my back pocket.

I am carrying these two:

my newone

very nice stan!

My William Henry and a Springfield .40 S&W. (Mostly thre Springfield stays in the door pocket of the Truck. Two 12 round clips also.

A Queen classic redbone whittler stays in the right pocket. A .357 glock 33 and that dreaded cell phone.

On my right hip I carry IXL Stockman, left pocket three blade serpintine Winchester.
On my key chains I have a ket knife, in right pocket!
I'd really love one of those men purses. I wonder if I'd get shot here in Texas..

I'm really liking this site! I see some really good people enjoying each other and having some major fun, all with my fondness for cutlery. For EDC, I always, always have a Spyderco Native (in CPM440V, now S60V) clipped in my left front jeans pocket. In the right pocket, I like to switch up, usually a Kershaw Speed Bump, Gerber Trax, Kershaw Avalanche (love that 440V!) or Camillus Heat, but I do switch up a lot. Stay sharp, people, and G-d bless!

Whoops, been over a year since my last post! I had forgotten the forum name until I just ran across it on my phone. My last post in this thread saw me carrying a Strider AR, and a Case barlow. Still have both, but my carry has changed a little. Still subscribe to the big knife/little knife carry, and today it is a ZT0200 and a Super Tinker SAK. I have also begun to carry flashlights on a consistent basis, and this includes a Streamlight Microstream (20 lum.), and an iTP C9 (190 lum.). Microstream rides in shirt pocket and the iTP in my right rear pocket. I will be posting again before this time next year!

Lately I've been carrying one or the other of these along with my Kershaw double switch.

It's a beer belly pack. Capable of holding close to a dozen beers or so.

Bryan

Well I have a pretty good size belly.

I added this to my EDC, a Strider PT, with Ranger green scales, and a stone washed blade.
