My Everyday Carry Load



Keeping things light and simple has been the driving principle in my philosophy of everyday carry.  As you can see, I attempt to carry only the essentials.  Whether in a suit at work, or in jeans/shorts when not at work, this has been my typical load for several years.  Of course, individual items will be switched out from time to time.  So here's what I'm carrying today:
  • Glock 26 - Extremely comfortable to carry IWB and most important; a very concealable, reliable and accurate companion.
  • Timex Expedition Chronograph - Stylish and Bold.  I love this watch, especially since it was a gift from my kids.
  • Esterbrook J Fountain Pen - A vintage pen that is more than 60 years old.  I have several vintage fountain pens that I rotate routinely, but this is definitely a favorite.
  • Moleskine Softcover Notebook (not pictured) - This has been, by far one of the best notebooks I have ever used.  The Private Reserve ink I use with my fountain pens works exceptionally well with the paper. 
  • Black Leather Wallet by Stafford - Nothing fancy here, except to say that this particular wallet  wears well and has improved with age.
  • SRM (Sanrenmu) 710 Knife - I just started carrying this knife and have found it to be perfect whether wearing a suit or in other attire.  I've been able to get the edge on this super crazy sharp.  I will most likely post a review on this knife in the next couple of weeks.
  • Motorolo Droid 4 - I very much like the Android platform.  This is a recent acquisition; switching from the HTC Incredible.  So far I've been satisfied with the change. 
  • Braided Lanyard with Keys - On the ring is a Victorinox Classic and Fenix E01Light.
Perhaps in another post I will comment on the content of my two ready bags that I keep in the car at all times.  In the meantime ~Keep it Sharp.
