Almost lost mine today too. Set my bag down to put my lock in it, and totally didn't realize that when I picked it up to put it on my shoulders, it pulled it straight out of my pocket. I took off and got on the road, started sprinting up to speed, and it was stuck on part of my shoulder strap. So lucky.

What are your guys' edc's?

I have an expensive Benchmade, but I find that I prefer the SOG in pretty much every way.

Mines a S&W Extreme Ops folder. Cheap, sorta pos. But I love it. I have a couple small Meyerco Necklances, fixed, that I might carry as backups/in my boots.

I own a benchmade butterfly, but can't carry it in CA.

Carry a CRKT M16. Great little knives.

Also carry a CRKT Gruppie, great little tool.

I wish it wasn't looked down upon to carry something a little bigger on the belt. I have a Cold Steel Tanto Lite to use hiking/camping/backpacking. Great knife for like no money.

FTFY

Please don't disrespect the knife. :p

Whatever loser.

I'm sittin in a math class in San Jose. See you when I get home.

the one i lost was a cheapo benchmade lockback that i got from wallyworld when i was like 13
it wasnt good steel or a particularly good knife, but it had sentimental value and i kept it sharper than the stupid orange plastic boxcutters they get at work

soon ill be getting one of these gems

yous 'bout to get shanked

I finally got an email from the guy with the super deal on a beatnik on CL. He sold it the first day it was up, and it took him another five days to finally email me to say it was gone.

Repacked headset, new brake pads, trued rear wheel, happy bike. I got a line on a 2011 Giant Bowery '84 in the wife's size for dirt cheap. Just needs a rear wheel *cough Scrod cough*.

whoa major knife guyz

Today I wanted to go create a pedalroom account and found that someone took my username. :cry: :(

i'm usually more of a Spyderco fan, but the Benchmade Mini Griptillian is awesome for edc:

today i needed a headlight. got stuck at work really late. around town a blinky is fine at night, but out on a county road w/o streetlights, not so much. super creepy. with only about 12' visibility and no cars around i was convinced i was going to roll up fast on some animal or zombie or some such. buddy at the local shop said he'd slide me a Cygolite Metro 300 for $30 when i come in to pick up fenders for the winter commuter.

Today I finally bought a chainring nut wrench and centered my chainring. Why did I wait so long??

i think spyderco has a lot of great designs, but the axis lock on benchmades is just the best
i wanted to get the pramilitary 2, but liner lock, meh.

i have a gerber
i dont like it, keep trying to lose it (havne't yet)

Yuck. You can probably equate their high end to benchmade low end.

Today I got my stem and my first look at a Thomson handlebar.

CRKT's autoLAWKS is a fantastic mechanism.

i consider pretty much any modern lock design equally useful / untrustworthy. it's either fixed or it's not. always have an ESEE Izula (also pink :) ) in the messenger bag with a multitool. but, just my quirk and i won't get hassled for a fixed blade around here.

Yea it is! basically turns a folder into a fixed blade. My dad won one of the nicer 16's as a door prize a few years ago at the state IDPA match. Great knife.

I thought you guys were talking about knives.

I want/will soon get a Spyderco.
