Kershaw Leek

It's thin and easy to manipulate. Good blade on it.

A lot of people seem to carry the leek, I've had knives with similar handles that work great as tools but when digging the tip into something, I often found my hand would slip down the blade which made me question it's effectiveness in a self defense scenario. That being said I have no training with edged weapons, and I think even if my life depended on it I'd use my hands rather than going for a knife but is that a concern to others, or does effective training and grip eleminate that knife, or is your knife just a tool (ie NOT a weapon) to you like it is to me?

ZT 0560 though when I get some edged weapon training I'll rotate in a CQC-8.

Its mostly a tool for me. I don't typically think if it as a defensive weapon. That being said I do see how the hand could slip towards the blade if applying pressure to the tip. I hold it a bit differently there if I need to poke a hole.

My index fits well and the thumb helps hold the knife into the crook of my index.

The main purpose I need my knife to fulfill are the everyday tasks: opening boxes, digging out splinters, slicing apples and breasting ducks during waterfowl season.

I am in the market for a new EDC knife and I wanted to see what everyone is carrying these days. I am leaning towards and auto (OTF) but I am open to anything.

Post pictures of your EDC knifes. I am currently carrying a MOD CQD Mark 1.
