POLL! What's your ideal blade size for EDC?

[Edged Tools]

Saw this on a discussion forum and thought it was a great question!

So everyone is in agreement so far. I assumed there would be some carrying smaller blades due to company rules or city restrictions or something.

I was torn. When going into public, typically a Spyderco Delica or a Tenacious. When working around the house/property, it's a Milwaukee utility knife! So a medium or tiny.

ah yes, a razor blade should've been it's own option.

4+ would be a good sized blade and knife…
I may need one just to have…

you know what they say, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

I like my CRKT Razel fixed blade. I’ve been carrying it for over a year now. Not an expensive blade but I get a lot utility from it. I think it is a little over 3”.

My ideal EDC is a Kershaw Skyline. 3.1 in blade. I have carried one for 15+ years.

Sadly I could use a new one, and the knife is no longer made.

I am feeling pretty good at almost 3 and a 1/2…

How long?

Depends on where you are going that particular day...

Small...



Medium...



Large...


Yes, in cold weather, that CRKT Hisshou rides between the shell and liner of my M65 field jacket.

minimum 4 inch for my exacting tactical requirements (bigger flips better)

Just seen these. I like the gentlemen style knives for some reason.
I like the 3.5-4" thin blade it just seems perfect for certain things.





INGO's favorite knife reviewer.




I've bought a few of these $8 cheapo knives. They have D2 steel though. Seem to be decent for the price.

Wow those anodized knife scales are are just gorgeous. That's the knife I wear with my Sunday best. I just carry an old SOG I got for my 16th birthday.

I have a 3 inch blade on my EDC. I'm close to the state line with Illinois, and I keep it small just in case I happen to cross over.

BTW, I stay the heck out of Illinois if at all possible!
