For me, it's almost always a Stretch, a Kiwi, and a burgundy micarta Jester.

Re: go to edc combo?
One of these, most often one of the three bottom ones in the left row or the one in the center, although today it's been the black Nishijin GF one:endgame wrote:Pics
One of these, almost all of them get carried at least one day a year, today it's the sun yellow Corian one (middle row, 5th from bottom):

Cllipped:
-Paramilitary 1 PE
-Manix 2 LW (translucent blue) PE

Deep pocket no clip:

Today, I'm carrying my Para 1 clipped, and a Delica 4 pink frn deep pocket.

Re: go to edc combo?
My go to edc combo is these two and one of my multitools. Love them both so much and while I say I like other knives better I carry these two the most. I love my other two para2's but this one is so smooth and broken in and the g10 is all pocket worn. It has become an old familiar friend. The lock on it is a little worn and it pinches me a little more these days but I still love it. I'm carrying my cruwear military with that SB delica today though. Also carrying my victorinox craftsman today instead of my leatherman wave or SwissTool.
Re: go to edc combo?
Thame thin g10 in pm2 or millies seems to feel better once worn in.when knew the g10 is thin so it feels stiff or crisp and cheap.once in pocket and used allot it softens up very true bearfacedkilla!
Re: go to edc combo?
Lately, it's been my CF S90V/CPM154 PM2 in RFP, S110V Forum Native with pewter bead on a lanyard in lfp, and the DogTag on the lanyard. Just reground the Dogtag (a bit hastily I might add eek!) to be 2mm stock instead of 2 and it's a slicing demon now! Just need to finish the regrind off with high grit and it'll be ready for pics, I only had 30 minutes before work so I just barely got done with the 50 grit belt and re-profiling the edge before I had to leave. Once I work my way up to 80 and then 120 it'll look much better but that's for another day when I'm not working.
Re: go to edc combo?
Lately C83 Persian, 2013 Forum Native, grey Jester and my ascent Novatac120T.
Re: go to edc combo?
Basically the tool layout and design of the tools. I HATE Leatherman's bit drivers. They lack reach, and all too often I find that I need a long screwdriver to reach inside something. I also prefer Victornox's scissors to just about anyone's, as well as their file and saw. I wanted a specific layout of tools (file, saw, scissors, long reach screwdrivers) and this was one of the only tools that had everything I wanted, in a package that doesn't weigh 10oz. The Supertool 300 has everything but scissors, but it also weighs a ton. The Spirit has all the tools I want, in a package that only weighs 5.75oz, and has locking tools. The only other thing I could ask for is an outboard one hand opening blade of quality steel, but I have a dedicated EDC for that so the Vic blade stays sharp as a backup. I added a ClipDraw clip to it and I've been carrying it for over a year in my right back pocket next to my wallet and I hardly notice it's there. I think too many people are drawn to the Leatherman name and should really shop around before going with the trend, because Victornox know what they're doing with multitools.
Re: go to edc combo?
At work it's always the heavily used g10 D-fly in the back right pocket. It's either some variation of the pm2 in the front right pocket. Currently it's the elmax.
At home cruwear Millie in the back pocket and GB, pm2 204p, pm2m390, Hungarian, rock lobster, chokwe, ppt, or.....

Right now it's a ZT 0560 Blackwash and an SE Manbug. I replace the 0560 with a Sage 1 if I'm going to be around NKP's.

Re: go to edc combo?
Lately, I only carry one spydie.And I discovered with amaze that my Dragonfly Salt PE is more than enough for my mundane tasks.I love my Delica in ZDP189 and my yellow Salt in PE (which used to be my go to edc) but these days it seems that even the Delica- Salt size folder is quite big for my real cutting chores.I can't explain why.I never thought that the Dragonfly could be so capable.When I heard that Sal allways carry a ZDP189 Ladybug or Manbug I was amazed.But now I start to understand.I just ordered a Dragonfly in ZDP189 and once it arrives I am almost sure that it will take over.Only once in a while a carry two spydies, the second one being my beloved Harpy(right back pocket).But, two Dominos are also on the way and things may change...This "go to combo" bugs me.Maybe because all my life(collector life of course) I tried to discover which spydie is the best "allarounder" for me.Most say there is no such knife.THE ONE.But I keep searching.Who knows, maybe one day I will find the "holy grail" and I will rest in peace(alive I hope).Maybe the Domino is the answer to my quest ...
