This is a concept I've seen with great proliferation lately...
If you have an "EDC rotation", you don't have an EDC. Let's think about it literally. EDC - every day carry.
If you have 10 knives that you rotate carrying, you do not have an EDC. Simply because you do not carry any knife every day.
I guess the concept of carrying A knife every day isn't too popular anymore. I don't even carry the same knife every day anymore myself except for my SAK.
I kinda miss the days when I'd just "carry A knife". I mean carry one single knife every day for years. Back then if a guy had more than one, we all thought he had chosen poorly.
Carrying one knife every day naturally forces the knife to build character. For those of us who have children, they also see you using the same knife every day and they'll think of it as "Dad's knife" (or Mom's knife). It might be more special for them to have that one special knife they remember you using to be passed down to them than 10 knives you used off and on.
Does anybody have a true EDC they'd like to show off? What are your thoughts on having one true EDC that you carry every day?
