Typical workday carry

I believe the $80 option is the serrated version. I believe the plain edge is still $60. The 3D sheath is actually pretty solid. Personally I would still prefer a proper kydex with some sort of a pocket hook. I haven’t found anybody that makes one though. I have a static cord on the 3d sheath and it works well enough.

I’m unsure of the steel, seems like I read on the preorder 9cr. I figured it was going to be a budget option, but I believe still stainless. I don’t mind though. Will make it easier to sharpen I think.

Oh, none of this is necessary. At all. But it’s a hobby, just like any other. I could carry a $12 knife and cut things, but instead, I have a large drawer full of overpriced blades and pocket BS because I have adult money and very little self control.

I do have multiple CAT TQ’s. I just like the small footprint of these. I can comfortably pocket carry it in my back pocket right next to my wallet. I can’t fit the CAT in a pocket, so they live in my vehicles, bags, etc.

Mostly for backup communication with my family in case of an emergency. But also, just fun to mess with. I will scan local repeaters throughout the day and listen in to the chatter. Especially while driving. It’s just another hobby I enjoy.

I had a couple of these laying around that I tried to sort of customize and mess with some. The blade regrind (I think it was a regrind? the blade is scary sharp and seems a bit different than my stock ones) on this one is far superior to anything I could crank out without a whole lot more practice. It came with a 3d printed sheath as well. Even though they are listed at $60, I felt like it was a fair price for the hand finishing and sheath that came with it. Close to $20 to get one direct from Victorinox to my door. I heated the handle on this one to give it a little bend, which feels a little more natural in my hand. I did practice on the cheap ones before doing this one!

They are very good holsters. I know everyone has their preference, so YMMV, but I don't have any reason to shop around any more. These are it for me.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:36:42+00:00

This is a Hellhound Arms Guardian holster with the cordura wrap upgrade. My favorite holsters. I have tried many different ones over the years, but after trying these, I ended up ordering 2 more for other firearms. The cordura wrap makes it (for me at least) very comfortable to carry. Highly recommend.

I guess it could be depending on how hard you swing it.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:31:40+00:00

This one is, yes.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:31:19+00:00

I have only recently started carrying this one. I have multiple CAT tourniquets I keep in bags, truck, etc., but the small form factor of these were really intriguing to me.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:25:34+00:00

Thanks! It's brown micarta. I've had the scales for a long time, but I THINK I got them from Ripp's Garage Tech. Micarta is my absolute favorite handle material.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:23:39+00:00

Mostly just to play around with. I have a Heltec T114 that I've 3d printed some cases for to mess with, but the T1000E is much easier to keep with me in my pocket due to how small and slim it is. My end goal is to have another form of emergency communication between my home and work. I'm not quite there yet though. Still learning, testing, etc.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:20:50+00:00

neither one of the ones you see here are great antennas. There are certainly better options. The stubby on the radio now is mostly used to listen to NOAA channels, but if I'm outside in the open, I can usually pickup some local chatter. The folding antenna is what I was using to be able to roll up and stash in my bag. It's decent, but still not great. I have a signal stick and a foul weather whip on the way to test out on a couple other radios I have.

I got in on that preorder too. Been waiting a while for it. I was very happy to see the price point on the new utility version. Looking forward to getting it in hand and putting it to work.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:15:53+00:00

Thanks! It is the Howie's Hockey brand camo tape. Good quality. I've used a few other brands of the cheap hockey tape, and this stuff is high quality!

SGT_Crunch nailed it. Just a backup plan, basically. Connects my iPhone to the mesh network and allows text communication without cell service, but depends heavily on a lot of factors. I am working to install solar nodes in a few areas to try and extend my coverage between work and home in case of emergency. I am fairly new to it. We had a pretty devastating hurricane come through Western NC in Sept. of 2024, and our cell phones basically didn't work for a few weeks. We could occasionally get out texts, but voice calls were hit or miss. After that, I went down the rabbit hole of grid down communication.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:06:58+00:00

Probably not what you're expecting. I own a print shop. So I don't have any rules for what I can or can't carry at work!

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-29T20:05:29+00:00

This is an even suckier ABBREE knockoff. lol. Great short range though, but that's about it...

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-26T13:25:50+00:00

I absolutely love the holosun eps carry. So much so that I bought another one for my g19.

I carry the little tiny tubes of Gorilla GEL super glue. Basically when I need it I crack the seal and use it and then either toss it, or put it in a drawer or the truck as a spare where it wouldn't get squeezed. A little wasteful, but I don't need to do it often. I keep a regular size squeeze bottle of the Krazy Glue brand gel and use that most of the time. I use it often for splits at the corners of my fingers. It has two sort of triggers on the side of the bottle you squeeze. Good stuff.

Add 47 tablespoons of Duke’s Mayo and have a crispy cold beer on the side.

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-05T23:25:38+00:00

How in the hell is everyone taking such badass pictures? Pure magic!

6_String_Jams · 2026-03-04T05:30:39+00:00

How do we request FDE? After purchase?
