Knives like flashlights are very personal items, what works for one person may or may not work for another. With that said, I EDC a SAK, Micra and Spyderco Ladybug. The SAK is a recent Father’s Day present, replacing one that my wife gave me before we were married over 22 years ago. It has been through a lot, having both kids and dogs tooth marks, having fixed everything from cars to toys. It has a lot sentimental value and although many years of potential use, I have retired it to a shelf in a place of honor. The new one unfortunately does not have the saw, which, on the old was used a lot. While I do not carry on my person, I do also have a Leatherman Wave/Original and/or Gerber pliers handy. When in the woods, etc. I always have a mutlitool on my person as well as a number of other fixed or folding blades depending upon environment and potential need. As mentioned in an early post about two weeks ago, I have just returned from Ecuador and will try to post some experiences on the trip. One thing I will say now is, I highly recommend an ARC LS Led flashlight. I purchased a factory second (it comes with 3 options for battery usage), while a little pricey at $70.00 USD, (the firsts are I think are around $160.00) it was well worth the money. The reason it is a second is either slightly off color battery holders or slightly off color hues from the LED. The situations encounter in Ecuador for which I required the light, the minor cosmetic defects did not matter at all. Pete
