Nothing particularly original, but it’s mine, so here goes.
- Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
- House keys: well, duh.
- Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
- Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says “United” & “Taiwan” on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
- Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not “deep-carry”), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
- Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants’ front pockets.
- Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
- Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.
Not on picture: Samsung Galaxy S20 with a Spigen Tough Armor case.
I dig the keychain buttplug, bold of you to post it here
Got me good there, you scamp 🤣
I do see it, now that you mention it.
Butt how does it feel?
Sharp-ish with a metallic tang.
Goes in nature’s pocket.
Similar, but without the buttplug
Butt where’s the fun in that ?
Are those push knives legal where you live?
It’s legal to purchase and own any kind of knife where I live, but not to carry them unless you have legitimate grounds to do so (self-defense is not one of them). In the case of a push dagger, it would be tricky to argue it’s to slice bread or open boxes.
It’s too bad that “I would be powerless before my enemies without one” isn’t legitimate grounds in the eyes of the law. I think those knives are actually pretty handy for opening boxes, plus they’re just cool. It’s too bad they have a stigma to them, because they’re really cool knives.
Aren’t push daggers illegal in the US?
I wouldn’t know since I don’t live in the US. Then again in my country carrying any kind of knife is illegal without “legitimate reason”. So there you have it.
Til. However in the land of the Opinel ‘it’s too slice cheese for on my baguette’ would instantly mean legitimate reason.
Knife laws varies from state to state.
In my experience it’s more about specific features and sizes than what we traditionally think of categories.Knife laws are poorly written/defined. Push knife with only one sharpened edge 2.5" and under? legal so long as it is not concealed almost anywhere. Lethality of a push knife 2.5" or under with one sharpened edge? Just as lethal if punched into the throat.
Defense by any means is a natural right.
As other have said, varies by state.
Rather be carried by 6 than judged by 12 on that.
I think you have your saying backward.
No, we all want to die now, get with the times
Possibly, but in my experience, no cop here is gonna look at that and think twice.
Digging the zippo was thinking of getting a butane insert for mine (I also dont smoke)
Some of them are not great. The classic zippo naphtha and wick style is more reliable, despite evaporation. Honestly a Bic is more trustworthy despite the unstylishness of them.
Yeah I have also considered it. It’s quite wasteful to refill with lighter fluid that mostly evaporates since I do not use it all that much. I fear it will not feel like a zippo anymore with a butane insert though.
But no pen??? What kind of animal are you?
The kind that lives in the 21th century 😜
Kidding aside, pens are relegated in my bag, which usually contains the wallet with ID, work laptop, noise-cancelling headset, hand sanitizer, glasses case, etc. Thus it’s sort of EDC but not really.
When is the 21th?!? 🤣
Keys, wallet, phone for me
- Pixel buds: great for taking calls or listening to audiobooks while doing mindless labor
- Earplugs: I work in a loud manufacturing plant but also use them outside of work whenever things get loud like the swim meet this weekend.
- Ken Onion Leek: handy for opening packages and slicing salami. I accidentally got it as a gift and didn’t realize it was easy open, but now I love it.
- Seki clippers: I hate hangnails with a passion. Also handy to trim my nails as needed, some activities like guitar need shorter nails.
- fountain pen: it’s nice to use and nobody else has orange ink so I know what was written by me.
