In your pocket do you carry a knife much larger than your flashlight?

[Bicycleflyer]

Depends,

Most days I carry a leather man "Wave" on my belt and a nitecore "Tip" on my key ring. There are days I don't care for the extra weight on my belt. On those days I carry either a Gerber "dime" or a Leatherman "Juice S2" in my pocket.

It all depends on what pants I'm wearing. On work days I'm usually wearing 5.11 taclite pants and can fit a lot in those. I carry smaller flashlights than knives during the day and usually have an Olight S1 mini in my pocket and a Fenix E01 on my keys. Knife wise it varies, currently a Spyderco Delica Warncliffe. Somedays I also carry a serrated Spyderco Rescue in addition to the Delica. Prior to getting the Delica I usually carried an Endura or Manix 2 lightweight as I usually prefer larger knives.

At night the ratio switches and I usually carry a Surefire EDCL-2T and a Benchmade Bugout or the Delica in addition to the Olight. I'll just say I wear a good belt.

(On a side not, I checked my pockets today after we stopped in at my in-laws to see how they were doing before Hurricane Florence. I had seven different lights on me, six of them in my pockets. A Surefire aviator amber, my EDCL-2T, Foursevens Mini MKII, Olight S1 mini, PKDL-PR1, the E01 on my keys and a Surefire Titan-A around on a neck lanyard. Just a tad bit of overkill though some of them I had just charged the batteries in at home and put in my pockets to store otherwise and forgot about.)

Sometimes this combo also:

 

[Bullzeyebill]

Vemice, which Spyderco with the E01?

Bill

 

[archimedes]

Looks like a Manbug

Vemice, which Spyderco with the E01?

Bill

Yep. A Manbug. Also have the Lady.

 

[archimedes]

Nice combo.

My preferred setup is the Ladybug Hawkbill Salt + Univex AAA.

@Bullzeyebill, if you like blue scales, there is a nice sprint run out now in V-toku2/SUS410 "super-steel"[emoji317]

It is kind of funny when I think about it but I guess I carry a much larger light than knife at least part of the time. My EDC lights vary a little but are usually a small one cell except the Malkoff MD2/M61T that I carry frequently at night clipped in the front pocket of my cargo shorts. My EDC knife is a SAK Compact and usually a Spyderco Dragonfly. Sometimes I carry a Kershaw Leek instead of the Dragonfly but even that is smaller than the MD2.

It looks like all those show your Knife with Flashlight threads are just showing off. I do not know anyone carries a knife like 4"+ in pocket.

I carry Glock 43 on shoulder holster. Of course AR15 only on my property. Stupid law here big trouble if caught in pocket. That like signals Gangbanger or something. I mean according to LEO's.

[flatline]

I've found that as long as I carry my wallet in my left front pocket, I can carry up to a 4-layer SAK beside it and not notice it.

So, while it is true that I always carry a knife and a flashlight, the size of the knife has nothing to do with the flashlight(s) I carry.

That is my Favorite buck. "Prince" or something? people think 420Hc but it is the BOS heat treat. Buck are great knives. I do not know why all I see is photos of knives much larger than light. I guess I am going to carry the BM gold class at 3.4" blade and Photon Killer. The WH Kestrel B09 is fancier but simply too small to be useful. A few years ago 200Lm lights were 2xCR123A. now 1xAAA. Knives unfortunately did not get smaller and as effective HAHA.

PD22 & Yojimbo 2.

 

[MadAmos]

Right front pocket, Chris Reeve Sebenza and keys
Left front pocket, Ready made Alpha and Wallet

I sometimes swap the Alpha for a DC1 when I want to go light.

 

[jabe1]

What I carry varies greatly due to my mood and what I'm doing at the time.
usually, some combination of Kershaw Blur, Vic Pioneer, Spydrco Delica wave paired with a Peak Eiger, Logan 17500, or a 4sevens quark 123 ti nichia (fantastic light).

 

[nitebrite]

For a while I carried a large decorated Sebenza. Somehow pared down to WH Kestrel B09. Too small. I have to say The particular BM Gold I am using now Has a much better blade than CRK. However CRK has it easily on the frame. Light in pocket tiny compared to knife. Have much bigger on belt.

today was fenix pd25 and a benchmade bugout 535 for me

 

[5S8Zh5]

I've carried my Fenix PD22 daily for the last 2 years, and it just got kicked out of the pocket by a Zebralight H502w L2 AA Flood Neutral White. Great u/i. Button is sublime. Smaller, lighter, one white AA (made in Japan) eneloop lasts forever. I got it Sept 2016 and even though I haven't used it at all since a couple days ago, it still shows a good charge. It is a headlamp, so the button is at the end, and the light is sideways - which I like.

I'm a fan of small knives and prefer smaller lights as well. Almost always have a serrated H1 Dragonfly in my waistband and lately have gone back to carrying an Alox Pioneer along with it. Photon Freedom is the only light that I always have, if I've got my keys, but the past few weeks has been the Stylus Pro clipped to my back right pocket. Went a whole day last week and completely forgot it was there. 2xAAA pocket carry pretty well. Got another SC53w and that is good clipped to a pocket also.

Carrying a leatherman micra which is about the same as my s1 baton
