I have promised him that I would let him carry a knife. He owns a Swiss Army Classic that I keep for him that he gets to use under my supervision. I figure he'll own a million tactical-stlye knives in his life, so I wanted to get him a traditional pocket knife like a Case Peanut or a trapper or Stockman style knife.

It works as a bandana, beanie, sweatband, wristband, and dustmask, among other uses.<br /><br />They even have one with a skull face on it, should you be interested:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Black-Seamless-Skull-Face-Tube/dp/B00BLV7VJ0/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1420646253&sr=8-14&keywords=buff<br /><br />Another thing no one mentioned is the ubiquitous "altoids tin" kit. I keep one in one of my front pockets with a mini SAK, nail clippers, micro flash drive, mini Bic lighter, and earplugs. Keeps them from rattling around.<br /><br />My EDC is therefore:<br />FL pocket: keys and altoids tin<br />FR pocket: gifted black leather wallet, with inexpensive but very bright LED light clipped to pocket.<br />Watch pocket: Grandpa's pocketknife, either an Old Timer or Barlow, or my Boy Scout knife.<br />RL pocket: cellphone (Casio G'Zone flip phone from work, which I hate)<br />RR pocket: aforementioned buff and 3x5 notecard(s).<br />On belt: Leatherman Surge with spare car key and Space Pen (with Zebra 701 refill - I don't like "space ink")<br />Wrist: G-Shock. Can't remember the model #, but it's solar with the atomic timekeeping. Awesome watch.<br /><br />It looks like a lot, but it really isn't. No one can tell I have "loaded pockets".<br /><br />We can't carry at work or church in my state without permission, thus far not granted, so I don't EDC a pistol, but when I do, it's either IWB right hip at 3:30 or RF pocket carry, which moves the pocket contents around.ODGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-2855396442106064222015-01-07T02:42:24.897-08:002015-01-07T02:42:24.897-08:00I have carried one of these in my pocket for years...I have carried one of these in my pocket for years...it's not as cool as some others, but it always works, has never leaked like some others I've owned, and I'm able to get refills for it.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Compact-Ballpoint-Pen-27411/dp/B0017OYIO2<br /><br />jml1911a1http://contrarianistic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-13562585356242518942015-01-06T23:47:52.936-08:002015-01-06T23:47:52.936-08:00Susan,
