    Like someone else said, it would take too long to list all I carry daily. Different knives for different jobs. I wouldn't doubt what I carry on a light day is more than a lot own. What can I say, went from accumulating when I saw something that I couldn't live without to collecting to being a Knife Addict.

    How do you EDC that? In a boot or pocket?

    I'm working through that now. I've only had it for about 12 hours.

    It has a kydex sheath and belt clip, so right now I'm trying it concealed IWB on my weak side (8 o'clock).

    The knife is 9 inches long and it holds pretty tight to the body. Drawing seems easy enough. Getting it back in takes some attention so I don't slice off a love handle.

    There are some pretty cool custom IWB sheaths available for concealing fixed blades.

    I bought a Kershaw Leek a while back. I never carried it for fear of it opening in my pocket with the assist. Not sure where I put it, somewhere in the house I think. I might have to locate it and try carrying.

    If it's like the Scallion I carried for awhile, it has a small lock at the tip of the handle to prevent inadvertent opening. Pictures on Kershaw's website show it (small slide on the tip of the handle opposite the clip). FWIW, I never used it and it never opened in my pocket as I recall.

    As stated by FishnHunt, the Kershaw Leek does have a safety on it. The blade opening in your pocket isn't the problem. Think about it, the spine of the blade is traveling in the forward direction, not the sharp edge. The problem is if you don't realize that the blade is open, certain movements and reaching into your pocket is where the problem (accident) occurs. :twocents:

    I carry a Busse SOB (9.5" OAL) horizontal at 11 o'clock, in a Kydex sheath, with a Spyderco G-Clip. Works great!

    I also carry either a Strider SMF DGG or ZT 0550, and a U.S. Marbles multi blade slip joint.

    I carry my CRKT Crawford Kasper Large Folder. I got it from Brad's Knives about 2 years ago and I couldn't be happier.

    I've carried on a knife on my persons since I was 10 years old.

    Always be prepared, was what I was taught.

    As for my latest? A benchmade m2hs 710 that I've carried for about 10 years now.
