Great thread and posts. Lots of Gerber and Cold Steel. Interesting.
In my personal truck:
First generation Gerber multiplier (SS with scissors and awl) in glove box; Cold Steel CV Bushman in custom kydex, an original carbon steel Schrade Old Timer Mustang folder and Gerber/Fiskers extendable hand saw in VEP bag behind the seat; Cold steel LTC chopper in custom drop leg kydex sheath and customized Cold Steel Spec Forces shovel in custom kydex on gun rack; also a small Tekna knife on keychain, but I don’t leave that in the truck.
One I don’t leave in the truck every day, but put in whenever I head out on a field trip or to travel such that the truck is with me (or the family) as “basecamp” for more than a day, is my moded Ontario RAT 7 with custom drop leg kydex and attached kit pouch and “stuff”. This one jumps between my work and personal rig, and gets the most use, other than the full size Spyderco Manix in the right side leg pocket of my Carhartts.
In my work truck:
A much older and larger Cold Steel (actually stamped Special Projects-from the 80’s) LTC, Ontario RAT 7 rig mentioned above gets rotated in and a L-6 5” blade handmade hunting knife by Carl Sontag for food prep. My field pack has a Cold Steel CV Master Hunter attached to it, so that ends up being in the truck as well, and then on me when I leave the rig. I also often bring along one of my own latest designs I am testing, which is currently a drop point 7” bladed with a convex ground in differently hardened in O1.
I also keep a Pulaski and shovel in the work rig, both very sharp, but not knives.
Also, all my first aid kits in all vehilces have two scalpel blades in them, but that might be over-reporting...
It may seem that I am somewhat over-bladed, but, with the exception of those in the VEP which are backup, I use them all almost every day, often multiple times a day. They are in fact some of the tools of my trade.
Thanks for sharing and stay safe,
