Hey guys. Just wandered into this section. Figured i'd see who else here is into my hobbies. My two MAIN hobbies besides for photography are knife collecting (well, not really "collecting" but i have amounted a ton) as well as tools. I originally studied IT but could never find a job where i'm currently living doing computer work so i went the way of automotive to make some money while i (still) wait for my chance at my original study. Over that time period of about 8 years or so professionally i have acquired a TON of tools. In fact, i'm finding new and creative ways to store them in my billion pound toolbox. If anybody wants pictures (this is a photo forum after all) feel free to ask and i'll snap a few, but i'll list my most carried knives since it's easier than all of my tools lol. Lastly, i also enjoy BMX biking, Mountain Biking, Motorcycles, i have a couple reptiles, i am VERY much into freshwater fishing (trout in the beginning of the season and then bass until they go deeper), i just recently got into kayaking, archery (and hunting), airgun shooting, hiking & or general woods exploring. I feel like i'm missing a bunch... I also have amounted a few watches, many flashlights, multi tools, fixed blades. I could go on... i'm a man of many talents and hobbies lol. Anyways, here's my EDC stuff
-Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21 Carbon Fiber
-ESEE 4 in Orange and Venom Green
-Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in Digi Cam, non coated blade (My most carried EDC)
-ZT 0561 which i customized front to back
-Benchmade Griptilian in D2 (Cabelas)
-Kershaw Blur
-Spyderco Caly3 in ZDP-189 and Carbon Fiber
-Spyderco Manix 2 XL (another favorite EDC of mine)
-Spyderco Military black on black
-Victorinox Huntsman Lite
-Victorinox SwissChamp
-Opinel #8
-Case Medium Stockman in Amber Bone (Carbon blades)
-Benchmade Benchmite II
-Spyderco Salt I
-Leatherman Charge TTi
-Evans Knife and tool (i forget the model name, it's a small fixed blade with carbon fiber handles)
-A custom fixed blade i had made out of O1 tool steel and maple burl handles (full tang)
**I carry only ONE of these unless i'm in the woods, then i'll pair a fixed blade with a multi tool
I also sometimes carry a light in my pocket depending on what the day may bring
-Streamlight Stylus Pro
-Streamlight Microstream
-FourSevens Preon 2
-Just recently i had the pleasure of buying a Zebralight SC600 III which is my new favorite!
As far as my tools go, i am not a tooltruck junkie. I buy quality tools from quality makers but i do not prefer tool trucks. I am very heavily into tools to the point where i have come to know certain makers type of tools and more than likely the ones i see in shops stamped *Tool truck brand* i can find from the OEM at a much cheaper price with their name on the tool. I always found it annoying that tool trucks stamp their name on somebody elses tool and take credit for it (i know they buy the rights but still....). My tools are kept IN a snap on toolbox, but i only own two snap on tools in the box. Anyways, share away guys!
