September EDC Challenge! #OneKnifeChallenge
Back in the day most people only had one pocket knife for most of their lives... Today many of us have several, possibly tens, or hundreds of knives! (my knife collecting friends). This is a challenge to remind us of more austere times and to remember how fortunate many of us are.
Check out the the video for details of the challenge. Are you up for it? Not for the faint-hearted knife nerd.... A month is a long time!! Let me know in the comments if you are taking up the challenge and which knife you have chosen..... If you can't do the challenge... at least let me know which knife you would choose if you had better will-power!!!🤣

Great (collection) video and selection criteria (camping/bushcraft) to get to the Farmer X. Great choice, good luck, and ... NOPE (like 2 knives always). Thanks MB.

@MB_EDC 15 дней назад

Thanks Byron. My collection is small compared to a lot of you guys. I thought it might be a tough challenge for a lot of people😂

@davidkurle5418 15 дней назад

I think you chose well, the Farmer X is a fantastic carry IMO. Cheers, buddy!

@MB_EDC 14 дней назад

Thanks David. What would you choose.. The same?

@davidkurle5418 14 дней назад

Would have been a tough choice between the Farmer X and the Huntsman, but I think I would have chosen the same👍

@ParkerBinion 15 дней назад

Thought provoking, thanks for another great video. If we define it as "one knife," I can cheat and carry a knife AND a Knifeless Rebar or a SwissCard Nail Care or Jetsetter or a Roxon S501U with a file or saw paired with the scissors. Even a Roxon Flex without a blade. I think you may have been thinking about it in terms of "one tool."

@MB_EDC 15 дней назад

@@ParkerBinion Great point. This is aimed at my knife collecting friends who carry at least 2-3 knives every day!!

@ParkerBinion 15 дней назад

@@MB_EDC Tangent incoming. You can get A LOT done with the Milwaukee Fastback 6 in 1 paired with a Roxon S501U for scissors and file/saw and a pair of Knipex 100s or 125s. If I was limited to "one knife," I'd be VERY happy with this set up for September. Great little three tool kit with some spare bits. I REALLY like driving screws with that Milwaukee. Perfectly centered, locked in place and very ergonomic handle. And the utility blade is so easy to deploy. The Roxon S501U scissors are the best I have ever seen on a multitool. More like shears. Knipex makes incredible pliers of course. Every tool is exceptional save maybe the Roxon file and saw which are at least average. Throw in a Swiss Card NailCare in the wallet and I could go YEARS with that combination and not suffer any FOMO.

@MB_EDC 15 дней назад

Great EDC set up. I love the Milwaukee 6in1. Just not legal carry on the UK due to the locking blade...🙁

@bdh3949 14 дней назад

I might give this a try. I'm thinking of a Pioneer Bantam, a Case mini-Trapper, a GEC 74 Stallion or an Explorer. Caveat: if I go on a canoe trip for a few days I will take them all plus what I need.

@MB_EDC 14 дней назад

Fantastic........ I can understand bending the rules for a canoe trip....

@kermitthepog7063 15 дней назад

I carried a Victorinox Explorer for a whole month earlier this year. I was buying too many knives, too compulsively, and I needed to remind myself that something simple with a sharp edge is all that's really needed for utility, everything else is just flavour.

@MB_EDC 15 дней назад

@ed.barker7069 15 дней назад

Victorinox Evowood 10. I love wooden handles and they are shaped nicely on this model. Don't need scissors as long as I have a blade but do need a cap lifter as a part time alcoholic. 😅 Just the right size for 5th pocket carry as it's not too heavy. Love the Alox range but find them too slippery when my hands get sweaty.😢

@MB_EDC 15 дней назад

Great choice Ed. I don't have any of the wooden SAKs... Yet!! Even with my relatively minimalist EDC I seem to have 3 cap lifters on my person every day!! 🍺🍺🍺. Cheers.... I am hoping to start a live stream this week on EDC great and beer.... I'll put a post up soon...

@Aeifur 15 дней назад

Despite having plenty to choose from, it's been a Marbles copperhead every day for getting on for a year. We just get on, and let's face it, it's expendable. So, challenge cheerfully accepted. Were I to swap, there's a Boker congress currently on pencil sharpening duty which would do nicely ... but I won't.

@kvernesdotten 10 часов назад

Im too late to really participate, but does "only one knife" include multitools? I dont think I would have any issues sticking to 1 knife for a month, but I would have some real issues if that meant I couldnt carry a SAK or Leatherman type multitool along with it since I use those for gripping, pinching, scraping, prying and all that on a daily basis. And if they are exluded, would it still count if I find a bladeless multitool? Or take the blade out of one?

@MB_EDC 10 часов назад

@@kvernesdotten It's never too late! I will be repeating it next month trying to carry a traditional knife and maybe a mini toolkit as I will miss carrying a SAK

@ajudygarlandfan3019 15 дней назад

Will take this up and will be either the SAK climber - although as modded probably not as seem a cheat 🤣🤣 so probably an old fashioned pen knife or the two blade SAK that is due any day as already ordered it. Will come back and post which I finally chose.

@MB_EDC 15 дней назад

@ajudygarlandfan3019 14 дней назад

Decided on SAK bantam as this fits with an experiment I have been meaning to do - carry only what my father did. He was 31 when he married Mum in 1946 and I will carry what he did in the 1960’s when I was born. He had 1)a two bladed knife but had filled the point of one to make a screw driver. 2) A key case of just keys. 3) A wallet with photograph, money and a shortish length of fuse wire. 4) A piece of string 5) A coin purse 6) A pocket handkerchief NO credit card as he never had one. NO ATM card as the machines had not been invented. NO mobile phone as they were not invented

@MB_EDC 14 дней назад

@@ajudygarlandfan3019 This is a great tribute. The bantam sounds perfect. Part of the reason I am doing the challenge is that My Grandad only had one knife... an old Army or navy one I think.... Most men only had one knife for their whole life if they looked after it...
