My Favorite Small Carry Knife

[willis68]

This is my ODT Original Dog Tag Flipper, custom built for me by my friend Dave Curtiss, I love the little guy and when wearing 501 jeans or any jeans with a small watch pocket, this little guy has a home. I was fortunate enough to go to Blade show this year and while visiting Dave Curtiss at his booth, a gentleman Brian Lucas was handing Dave a bag of these Kydex things that he built. They are Kydex holsters that he built especially for the ODT flipper I just rode several miles on my Harley with the little guy clipped onto my front belt loop of my pants, it is secured in there so well  I never worry about it I love this knife and carrying it this way frees up my pocket for one of its big brothers so I always have 2 knifes on me

Those are neat little knives with a lot of workmanship built into a small package.  For the average consumer Spyderco makes one of similar form as well.

I'm looking for tips. How do you guys manage to EDC small knives? I lose pretty much everything at least once a week... car keys, glasses, knife. Do you put it in a particular spot or what? As a result, I tend to carry cheap knives, but I'd like to carry a nicer one.

Pocket clip in the back pocket with my handkerchief. Wallet in other back pocket.  I used to carry clipped to front pocket but found I'm in/out of those pockets so much the knife got in the way most of the time.

If you have this clipped on your belt loop, you can't loose it unless you lose your pants!

I don't lose my knife while carrying it. I lose it when I get home and lay it somewhere when I clean my pockets.

Got ya,

Best advice I could give you, get a key hanger with a small shelf on it, get your self into the habit of using it everyday
