What are you EDCing?

[Siberianfury]

what do you carry on a day to day basis, including public places?

i carry these things, From left to right.

DC4, Firesteel, cheap Lighter, ancient Phone, Leatherman Juice KF4 (Legal) or the Leatherman Charge TTI.

 

[JonathanD]

Spyderco UKPK or Leatherman Wave, iPhone & wallet.

 

[Kerne]

Not good to flash knives around at school - even legal ones; so I carry a Spyderco Bug on my keyring - gets used most days even if only to slice the apples the kids leave on my desk in the morning... .

 

[w00dsmoke]

Where I live ALL knives whether legally carried or not are reported as offensive weapons and carrying even a "legal" one in the pocket or car will end up with an arrest and report to the PF if you are in an urban environment. That came from my local community cops who are backing the campaign to ban knives... even so I carry a gerber vise as an edc.

what do you carry on a day to day basis, including public places?

Shoes, socks, trousers, handkerchief, underpants, belt, tee-shirt, sweatshirt, wallet, optional long johns, woolly hat & jumper, coat.

Anything else that I might have on me is really nobody else's business unless I make it so. I do my best not to make it so. I wish others would do the same, then some of us might worry a lot less about the law, and the people who made the laws might worry a lot less about us.

 

[Shewie]

Usually just my laptop and plenty of change for the coffee machines

I have a couple of Leathermans which get used most days though.

Knives are about as much use as a hammer in IT, although sometimes i wish a had one

F.Y.I.

I am pretty certain that slicing apples isn't classed as a good reason.

Bad day sir?

No, bad question.

 

[Lurch]

any article to which s.139 applies.

Spydie bug is exempt from 139 as it is sub 3in and capable of folding at all times.
A school in this case is not considered different from any other Public Place.

Allways carry a sub 3 slippy on principle. Higo at the moment, I rotate as the mood takes me.

 

[gregs656]

Always have a uk legal knife on me. I am loving the kit in that 3x5 notebook cover though. I could use something like that to organise my life a bit.

 

[FreddyFish]

While having a browse around I came across this.

http://www.davidappleton.co.uk/bbforum/cja1988_s139_card.pdf

it's a link to a printable wallet size PDF of the Criminal Justice Act Section139.
The idea is you can print it out and laminate it and offer it to security guards or police that try to give you a hard time about a legal EDC.

 

[ananix]

only sure thing is my victorinox huntsman wich is legal with no purpose in public (Denmark). But i leave it at home when i know im going tramping, then i bring the leatherman wave. Although i prefere the Victorinox Outrider i need them pliers and cutters for safety purpose (i beleave).
