I thought it wouldn't happen to me

I chuckled reading about you guys doing it thinking, what a bunch of nuts

Then it happened....








I overslept and forgot to take my Delica to work - felt naked all night long and now know what you all get cold sweats over when you forget to grab your EDC

I forgot to wear mine when I went out back to the garage once. That was bad enough. Have had mine at work every single day. The day I forget to bring it will be a bad day :D

My spare knife in the office desk drawer is a Ladybug. I have had it a long time.

Other guys laugh at it. They don't laugh at the Caly 3.

It's impossible for me to forget a knife when I go to work. I work from home. :D

When I did work in an office, I tried to always keep a Tenacious at my desk (as a backup, and to loan to people).

I typically have my Spyderco Delica4 in PE and SE, or my Spyderco Caly3 in PE or SE, when I go out the door. I do recall once forgetting to take these with me one day when I was running an errand and was happy that I AT LEAST had my Spyderco Assist I Orange FRN and Leatherman Super Tool 200 with me.

HAHA... I agree with Doc, redundancy is key with knives. I keep two in pocket, one in back pack one on key chain and two in car.

I feel like my system is probably a joke compared to Docs lol :D
