I carry that same Gerber knife. Been sharpened so many times, the blade is a bit smaller than yours.

That thing has been around awhile and I keep going back to it. Best thing I ever did was tear it apart and "massage" the little bump that makes it so dang hard to open.

My BUCK KNIFE, AND, lots of LINT !!!

I work in a textile mill. My pockets (shirt pockets especially) pack a nice stash of lint away. Pants pockets **** -- my hands stay greasy so at the end of the day they're full of greasy lint.

...Plus change, a lighter, smokes, wallet, knife, and keys.

mohawk dave, why do you take steel wool to yard sales? I'm assuming to do a quick cleaning to make out names/numbers but i figured i would ask. i carry a g2 pen, kershaw blast, coast g20, keys, iphone, wallet and work key card.

 

[AV tinker er]

At work I carry a "wurse" aka work purse aka FOD bag, with a flash light, safety razor blades, pin extractors, string tie, notebook, pens, grease pen. I keep my wallet in my pocket but my keys stay in my lab bench drawer.

wellpoison-you got it. Learned it somewhere here on GJ. Take that steel wool and clean up an old tool to see just what the heck it is.

EDIT: Those G2 pens are the only ones that should exist! Love them things!

 

[roadracer97]

on a daily basis my phone,wallet, knife, and change and headphones

 

[zmaxmotorsports]

Back when I was working in the trades 24/7 I was told more than once I carried a craftsman tool box in my pockets.
The last electrical contractor I worked for before opening my shop in 96 used to call me pockets because I carried everything I needed around whatever plant we were in at the time in my pockets from the gain box.
He would walk around looking like hop along Cassidy all day with a tool belt,It seemed like every time hed climb a ladder he'd lose half his tools.
Then Id tell him that's why I don't where a tool belt,then Id spend rest of the day dodging fling screw drivers when Id get in range!

 

[danielhp89]

Gerber knife, love these knives, I buy them two at a time so if I forget one somewhere I always have an extra.
SOG multitool, I carry it in my old schrade tool pouch as it is much more comfortable.

Unpictured is my Eagletac D25A clicky titanium flashlight and my Droid RAZR Maxx phone. Soon to be added is a Springfield XDs in a crossbreed holster.

 

[06 DIESEL]

Car keys, house and misc keys in one front pocket. Equipment keys in other front pocket. Camera in side pocket. Wallet in one back pocket with a handkerchief in the other back pocket. Belt has cell phone, Gerber multi tool, AA Maglight. Belt loop has work keys. I think all in all I add about 10# to myself putting things in my pockets.

I really like that knife. I carry that little husky carabineer knife because I like to have the ability to change blades. Most utility knifes are too bulky to carry in your pocket but that one looks really nice.

Also digging the 5.11 tactical pants.

Things I omitted from my list, bose headphones ( they were in my jacket pocket), and iphone 4, im a little behind the curve.

 

[ilovevocs]

Just order two of the gerber EAB's. I have been carrying my carabineer for a while since I have yet to find a suitable replacement, but I think this will be a nice upgrade. Next on the list are a pair of the tactical pants.

 

[Mohawk Dave]

(SNIP)
Also digging the 5.11 tactical pants.

IDK if that means you own a pair yet, but if you don't I HIGHLY recommend you try a pair. In fact, I IMPLORE you to. lol

Check out ebay if used is ok with you, if not LAPOLICEGEAR.com is always running deals.

 

[whitetrash1]

i've owned one pair of 5.11's for the past 3 years. i bet i've worn them no kidding, 500 times and they're still holding strong. best pair of pants i've ever owned. put a few more on my list on amazon. i wore them when i was a parole officer and did home visits. we carried a good deal of gear with us and the extra pockets were a blessing. only thing is my pants were made prior to the iphone being popular, and it wont fit in the magazine pocket like it does with other pants. in the summer they're cool as can be. you could run in them. and i did, often, after felons lol.

 

[Outlawmws]

I'll have to look into the 5.11 pants...

My daily carry is slightly different for work or "Play" (Non work)

I only carry my wallet or phone if I'm out of the house, The small tape and Magnifier are always with me, as are the LED Flashlight, nail clippers, vintage 4" adjustable and the small disk magnet that keeps them together. (I use the magnet while yard-sailing or at Flea markets to test if something is magnetic or not. I got tired of surprises...).

At work I have a couple of pens in my shirt pocket. and I carry the left knife while at work the other two the rest of the time. why two knifes? the inlaid Kershaw is for food items, and the other is for all the cutting, scraping, and digging I often do. I don't want to use that one for something I want to eat...

 

[Southern]

Typically a phone, wallet, knife, 38, and a flashlight.

 

[Pumpman1968]

Outlaw goes old school on the cell phone! I carry an older LG with a padded leather case.....ugly as hell and my kids pick on me about it but the damn things been dropped, stepped on etc. No touch screen to crack! I see busted $600 iphones all the time!!

 

[liquidcougar]

This is pretty much my average day at work. Of course, there's always a tool box/belt, but those change from day to day.

Oh, and there's my takes-a-licking-and-keeps-on-ticking HTC EVO 4G. It took the picture.
