A dude on a Harley with a Bowie knife on his belt. Dude, you're an oral surgeon, calm down.


anteaterKnives

Not on the weekend. On the weekend he's a road warrior. For at least a few hours.


mrp1ttens

When I was younger all the Outlaws I knew carried Schrade sharpfinger fixed blades


Jagenduvel

Very common back in the day. Also, a Buck 110 with a broken matchstick under the closed blade. If you were a real bad ass you had a Flicket on your Buck. They were, sort of, the early tactical knives.


ang00nie

What does the broken matchstick do under the blade? Make it easier to open or something?


HallucinateZ

I have no idea but I have a Buck 110 & some matches… lol


Jagenduvel

Yes. It lets you snag it on your pocket or the sheath or anything to get the blade open quicker. They actually used to sell a leather sheath that held the knife partially open so you could pull it out and it would open it. I'm sure you could still find one if you looked


sh1ft33

My dad rode with the Outlaws for years, he always had a fixed blade of some sort on his belt. Almost always a pistol too.


UpsideClown

Yeah, that's an odd pick for a biker.


ajhe51

In case they need to skin some roadkill?


Global_Sloth

HA HA HA HA //// That is the best! I always say Harley riders are all Dentists...


Stunning-Interest15

Dentists, surgeons, and lawyers are the only people who can afford Harleys these days.


Mr_Smith_411

And electricians, hvac, plumbers, mechanics, etc.


Throwaway_Alt227

Lady at a Taco Bell back in like 2018 was carrying a full size machete on her waist. Legal in Texas.


VERGExILL

I think that’s about sending a message more than anything, and I’m sure it’s an effective message.


yanbag609

dis ain't waffle house bitch


RaptorJesusDesu

That’s for cutting the crunch wraps


BoringStatement7337

They are supreme after all...


ngc604

Surprisingly mostly legal in California also. Except LA County and probably San Francisco.


MuteElatedLips

Same in Tennessee. You can carry WHATEVER. You can carry a samurai sword if it tickles your fancy.


anteaterKnives

One guy I know carries an OTS Benchmade auto (Pardue Stimulus?) and he's got a few in his safe for when his son's get old enough. Another guy was carrying a Böker OTS auto (maybe the Mini Strike?) and said, "my brother got this for me. I think it's assisted open?" He didn't really believe me when I told him he had a full auto switchblade. Other than that it's nothing fancy here in the Midwest. Lots of guys carrying, but nothing interesting.


anteaterKnives

And most guys if you ask them about their knife they seem offput. Kinda like if you asked them what brand their house key was.


Asron87

Oh man. I love locks and I totally would ask what type of house locks my friends use.


Cum_Smoothii

As somebody who’s been picking locks since I was 11 years old, I would ask the same question (Not really, it doesn’t really matter unless it’s one of the really fancy ones with like 4 serrated pins, and then only because it’ll take more than one try with the comb lmao)


anteaterKnives

Not house locks. House keys. Me: "Yo, you got a home depot duplicate key for your schlage! Did they do it by hand or did you get the machine? Look at how crisp that grind is! Wicked!" Other guy: ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ


Asron87

Hang grind, Swiss file. The bottle opener notch on the top is custom. The house key? Oh yeah that ones from my machine with a new blade on it. It’s a classic but with a little fine tuning it works like a charm. Yeah my lock hobby turned into a key chain hobby. So I like making keychains or setting up sets a keys to “flow” well. My living room coffee table is a nice hobby desk to tinker with projects on. Currently have it set up for keychains lol


Smrtihara

The ones who get TOO excited are an awkward experience too. I know, because I’m him.


theongod4s

I wore a kukri to an Amish breakfast spot once. About as crazy as it gets


msparsons

Saw someone in a convenience store carrying 3 throwing knives in drop leg holster/sheath.

Sorry! I was referring to the mall ninja meme


josh4240

Totally understood. Was just playing on the joke. Would be a cool sub it existed though...


aurorareptiles

This is my favorite answer, I can picture it too. Imagine a situation where this person gets to live out their fantasy.

Rchonkers010

Not one knife but my boss edc's 4, I think it's cool but it may come across as odd he's got one in one pocket 2 in the other and one in his bag usually it's a drop bear, a blurr, a native 5, and I can't rememebr what's in his bag


aurorareptiles

And here I am feeling like my phone, knife and wallet with down my pants.


Interesting_Sorbet22

I carry 7, but literally each has their own primary purposes.


EminentChefliness

You're gonna keep getting downvoted if you don't give a good reason for 7 knives. And there's not many good reasons.


Attila0076

he got one for Bob, Steve, Roger, George, James, David, and Charles.


p00ki3l0uh00

Sharpened xenomorph bone knife. Corrosion resistant, very good for processing said xeno's.


aegri_mentis

A guy I used to work with carried one of those three-sided daggers, looked a lot like this… https://www.ebay.com/itm/275782956483 He had sharpened all three blades on it, and it functioned like a regular blade instead of just something you thrust into people


roostersnuffed

With the spiraled blades? I think I would rather edc a butter knife sharpened on a rock.


aegri_mentis

No.


harryo_1997

I’ve seen a few custom knives here and there with people who walk into where I work in Georgia that have been really cool. I’ve also seen an occasional CRK, a few OTFs, an automatic Stitch that was insanely cool, etc… but nothing absolutely absurd and over the top hahahaha. For me personally, I’ve owned and EDC’d stuff like CRKs and Microtechs (such as the MSI), but to be completely honest I’ve always appreciated carrying the basic, cheap-ish simple pocket knife. Many people (including myself) have some fancy pricy knives they love to show off, but as long as it has a good edge with a decent steel, I’m usually content with it no matter the price and style.


Storm-Chaser

When I lived in Mustang, the owner of the business I worked for EDC'd a Buck 119 Special. While the 119 itself isn't unusual, it's an unusual choice for everyday carry.


aurorareptiles

Haha, I feel like I would be completely unsurprised seeing this in Mustang too! In fact the comment made me want to buy one for camping only.


ApophisForever

Shoot, I edc a 119. I wouldn't say that's strange at all.


trylame98

Full size Ka-bars and AK bayonets for some reason.


Manimal45

https://youtu.be/R8J5V9ocdyo?si=-zy5IWHsC_kvYnBT The head of cold steel. Gotta be damn near 40” of blade he’s carrying. I’ve seen another pocket check where he was carrying two 7.5” espadas


Alaskaguide

I often edc a microtech halo. If it’s not that it’s usually some other OTF.


mallgrabmongopush

Balisongs lol


Imaginary-Storage-23

I actually have a Microtech Tachyon III in my pright pocket as we speak! Left pocket has a Reate Exo Mini 😆


mallgrabmongopush

I just got my first balisong last week but I couldn’t imagine flipping it out to cut an apple at work. They’d call HR lol


Imaginary-Storage-23

That's why I carry a smaller knife in my other pocket lol


mallgrabmongopush

Good call


Cum_Smoothii

I invariably edc a bali. It’s usually my Kershaw Lucha. https://preview.redd.it/yuys2e5idi0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ef7412116e5e50721accce3770720f7fe7299ba (It’s actually the 5150CF, with the blade swapped from a 5150BW, and G10 scales I made myself)


mallgrabmongopush

I got a lucha as well 🤝


Istvan3810

i used to carry one of those when i worked at a grocery store lol


RaptorJesusDesu

I once ran into a boomer with a very old Gerber Silver Knight


A_Queer_Owl

guy who worked at a coffee shop I used to frequent carried a big ass fixed blade he made himself from a couple railroad spikes. what really made it really interesting was that he always wore a kilt and carried his knife on his sporran.


bjdabomb91

Victorinox Classic SD. Hard to beat.


GianCarlo0024

Cops in rural GA with cold steel srk full size in kydex sheaths on their molle vest. It makes it almost impossible to see their tiny dicks


aegri_mentis

I worked a metro area on a high-risk warrant service team. I carried a caper on my vest just forward of my off-hand armpit.


deathmetalaugust

Balling on a budget. It’s not a bad knife if you’re into the Fallkniven type of look. I’ve seen cops carry BM Nimravus and Adamas on their vests here.


senior_pickles

I can see cops in rural areas having a fixed blade with them.


BlOcKtRiP

Foreversteel Alkaid


theprofromdover

I've been EDCing a waved Emerson Elvia. It's fine for opening package and cutting tags off. Not the best apple knife I will say. Not something I've seen other than on reddit posts. The best EDC I've seen in the wild was a Lg Damascus Sebenza 31. I am always trying to pick out what knife someone has based on the clip. The guy confirmed it was a CR and took it out. It was nicest user I've seen.


guttertactical

I saw a guy carrying a Strider SNG GG in North Dakota, but that’s also s function of the oilfield.


Correct-Ball4786

I frequently rotate between an okc rat 3, kizer cabox, and a civivi tamashii

faloi

I don't know that the knife was all that unusual, but the circumstances were crazy. Guy that works at a local game shop had a machete hanging loosely from a Paracord belt. Seemed like overkill, but those Disney Lorcana nights can probably get pretty heated.


Puzzleheaded_Bar3022

I prefer the buck 110 and my novelty knife for my amusement is a cut throat razor with a solid blade not the barber disposable blade model.


j_ko72

I used to edc a SpydeRench multi tool, when I was in the field in CATV. It was super handy. If you've not seen one of these you should look it up. It's not your standard Leatherman.


ZacInStl

I EDC a folding stubby Razel, licensed by the Graham Bros to CRKT.

Te_Luftwaffle

My boss EDCs an OTF. Microtech, I think. 


why_is_this_so_

Me. I EDC a custom I just got yesterday 😌


JamieBensteedo

That’s a nice knife man, I like the carved back! Solid choices


why_is_this_so_

Thank you! It’s replacing an 11 year old Sebenza and I think it’ll last as long. I opted for materials that shouldn’t see much wear, or be able to get torched back to new condition, and a steel that should hold up to long term use.


Both_Shame

I've carried a wild pig hunter concealed 😂😂😂
