[MACGYVER44203]

i am thinking i will get 2 enduras and carry one left front pocket and one right front pocket for my EDC. anybody else carry a pair of mirror <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ? maybe back it up with a fixed blade.



also does anyone carry a set with one a PE and the other a SE ?



thanks

as soon as the para millie comes out, I'm buying a se for left, pe for right.

currently have been carrying the se/frn(ats-55, 98 model) endura on left, and rotating my right side carry. Today was the pe calypso jr lt(vg-10, 01 model) and se cf 'fly.

i had read a while ago that they were teaching tactical classes that stressed having a knife on both sides for access during a confrontation, a SE right side for
primary defense and the PE left side for utility and back-up left handed defense, the ambi endura is the best choice between size/cost/and ease of use.

Welcome to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>co Forums, 44203! I know of a Nashville Metro Police Officer that is trained in martial arts, and carries a match pair of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>edge Police models! RKBA!

Man, BE AWARE of THE CONSEQUENCES by carrying 2 folders and posiibly a fixed on top of that! Sure, you may survive the encounter but then you'd be "living" in a cell with two other guys for who knows how long! Prior to becoming a Corrections Officer, I trained a lot of LEO's and I used to carry all over the place...sometimes FOUR blades. But then when they made me aware of legal issues, I only carried one, sometimes two at the most. But my main carries were rotated depending on where I was going, the weather, what I was wearing etc...they were usually the Delica, Endura, D'fly's, Crickets, and the Rescue Jr.

Research your local laws prior to leaving your property with three...train smart and stay safe. Aloha!

Tactically speaking, it is good practice to have mirror-image tools available on either side (with full muscle-memory ingrained for deployment and use).

Practically speaking, I don't think it appropriate for me. I do, however, always carry the same knife in the same place for my "emergency" knife (weak-side back pocket) while my strong side has a firearm and an EDC utility blade. If I had no firearm, though, I'd be more inclined to keep a mirror-copy of the emergency blade handy.

I am what I am, and that's all that I am. Popeye

In the event that you are attacked and cannot reach your strong side knife, a knife on the weak side might come in very handy.

I carry my Emerson CQC-7B on my strong side, and my Dodo on my weak side. I wouln't choose the Dodo as my primary weapon, but if someone was choking me to death and I couldn't reach my primary or get out of the hold, then the Dodo would do just fine.

I'm aware of no laws that forbid the carrying of 2 or 3 knives, especially small knives like the Dodo or the Native.

Well, Today I am carrying a ss cricket in my 5th "watch pocket" and my harpy in right front...would you consider that cricket as a tactical blade?

[MACGYVER44203]

i know that might seem like alot of steel for EDC (2 <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and a fixed) trouble is i am used to packing heavy as a former LEO, my EDC formerly was a Glock 27. i am familiar with the local courts and if you are forced to slice and dice a perp they will most likely try to hang you regardless of what you were geared up with.

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.
Sometimes I use to carry my SE Delica on the right and my PE one on the left. But this for utility purposes rather than SD.

I am odd in that I shoot a handgun lefthanded and use a knife right handed.I think this will cover any thing that might happen.

I learn something new everyday,even though I don't want to. Jeff

Depending on where I'm headed, I occasionally carry two Delicas, one on each side(one SE, one PE). The SE has almost never been used; the PE is EDC. I find myself not going to such places so much anymore, as I get older - which is hopefully a sign of wisdom kicking in...<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Haven't ever been even in a shoving match in my entire life, haven't even been pulled over (ever!) after 25 years of driving, and I don't ever want to be in a threatening situation. But, in such places where it might happen, I'd prefer to be better equipped if things really get out of hand.

[vampyrewolf]

Jeff: now try being a natural leftie that was forced into right handed. took me 5yrs to get writting left handed passable. 7yrs form the time I started left handed again when I finally got the choice.

Fully ambi, I just grab with whichever hand is closest.

I'm right handed, and shoot left handed, but I'm pretty much ambedextrious with knives. It comes from my right arm being in a cast 5 times in my life, I believe.
