The Spyderco Positron.<\/p><\/div>\n

When it comes to purchasing a firearm for every day carry, my boss always says, \u201cBuy the gun you will actually carry.\u201d What does he mean by that? Just that. Buy the gun you will actually carry<\/em> not one that\u2019s too big, too bulky, too uncomfortable. You don\u2019t want to feel like you\u2019re lugging around an anchor all day.<\/p>\n

Makes perfect sense. The same philosophy holds true for knives. Buy a knife that you will actually carry<\/em> \u2014 one that\u2019s comfortable, easy to conceal and, of course, gets the job done. However, since knives are considerably smaller and lighter than guns, most knives are easy to tote. Or are they?<\/p>\n

The answer to that question depends on what you wear. During spring and summer \u2014 down here in Kentucky \u2014 I wear shorts instead of jeans. That includes gym shorts with an elastic waistband. What I quickly discovered is that my typical EDC knife, a large Chris Reeve Sebenza, is too big and too heavy to put in the pocket of my running shorts. Between the knife, my keys, my cell phone and my wallet, it was just too much weight. I couldn\u2019t take more than a few steps without running the risk of losing my shorts and exposing myself. Some changes needed to be made.<\/p>\n

You can see the size difference between the Chris Reeve Sebenza and the Positron.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, I put away the Sebenza for the summer and brought out the Spyderco Positron. Coming in at just 2.6 ounces (compared to the 4.70-ounce Sebenza), it\u2019s incredibly light and easy to carry. I also bought a lanyard for my keys, so I could wear them around my neck instead of putting them in my pocket. That too, helped, lighten the load.<\/p>\n

The changes worked. I can walk around with my phone, wallet, keys and knife without worrying about mooning anyone. What about my gun? Where does that fit into the equation? Well, that\u2019s a subject for a different day.<\/p>\n
