- Got this as gift
- First post! Pocket carry.
- Wondering about the Olight Olink magnet strength? It can carry a 26650 size light just as securely as a 14500 size.
- Knives like the Gerber Remix?
- Need help from a pro sharpener. Anyone here a professional or know someone that could sharpen an xm-18 M390 spanto?
- any idea on age. my dad handed it down to me
- Is it good
- Thrifted an old wooden chest this afternoon that was for a set of silver.

Only edc you need is a single, live frag grenade
LOLOLOL seriously what are we doing these days
Wait, I thought everyone carried two nearly identical knives and 3 titanium pry bars for their job at Wendy’s?
I’m much more concerned by dudes that carry a second gun, in case the first one jams. Like, buddy, maybe try carrying one better gun.
Fourth knife, isn’t that the game all the kids are playing these days?
Doesn’t everyone add beads to all their EDC items too? Otherwise jowls would you know it is for EDC?
Not even real knuckledusters. Just a “knuck” which I guess would be like punching someone with a ring on.
I lurk here because I’ve find out about some really awesome gizmos and gadgets I never would have heard of elsewhere. For example, I never knew you could buy vials of tritium to use in a keychain. Also, I like very small flashlights.
I was wondering why everybody posts knifes and gun… i was beginning to think i was the only one living in a safe contry
Funny story (maybe). I work in education with Native American students. Earlier this fall a colleague was telling me about her elderly mother who was going through security at the TSA. Her mom had a knife on her. Some of the elder women are not real happy to be told they can’t do something by *anyone* badge or not. They take sovereignty seriously and they are tough as nails and not gonna back down from a confrontation where they know they are within their rights. It is actually quite charming and inspiring to witness if you ever get a chance. So apparently this elder tells the TSA: “An Ojibwe woman must carry a knife at all times.” They didn’t let her keep the knife, but she also didn’t get arrested. And she was allowed to get on her flight.
Fast forward a few weeks and one of my students is in school and *with* some kids who are breaking a rule. I am being intentionally vague here. Anyway, she wasn’t necessarily doing anything wrong but they searched her and she had like a four inches folding knife with a locking blade that her dad had given her before he died. In my head I was like *how am I going to fix this.* For those of you who do not have kids, schools have become zero tolerance zones for weapons over the last 25 years. And this constituted a serious violation of that standard.*
Anyway, I told my student that I would do what I could. I told her that there is no way ever that she could bring a knife into school ever again, especially one that size. I said that there are just too many people who will never understand even if we can get her off on a warning this time.
I don’t know if anyone has read this far, lol, but I will tell the rest for those who have.
I told the administrators that Ojibwe women are taught to carry a knife at all times and she was just following her teachings. I also told them that I told her under no circumstances was she allowed to follow that teaching at school anymore. But I implored then to give her her knife back and excuse her from the punishment, which could have been expulsion or even criminal charges.
She got suspended for the rest of the day and then an alternatives to suspension (in school) for two more days. They gave her grandma back the knife. And the grandma being a tough, smart Ojibwe woman is going to hold the teenagers knife for her for a few more years until she is a little older.
My favorite part of this story is that we didn’t need to lie about it. This is not the advice that lawyers give, but in school type situations I always find that the unvarnished truth is usually the best. Silence being a close second. Either you get punished or you don’t but the truth tends to earn respect and respect is an absolute EDC.
As for finding it scary not carrying certain objects, I agree that you always want to be prepared. But if you are going into a space where certain things are not allowed, then I urge people to respect those rules. Or don’t go into that space.
Glad you mentioned second multi-tool, got worried for a minute!!🤣
Guys that peel an apple with anything less than m390 steel… those are the scary ones.
Ah yes, every warrior must carry a special *dessert* knife. I carry one for cheesecake and a separate one for blueberry pie.
Wait, isn’t this meme backwards?
