I forgot about what I use my EDC folders for! I was thinking only of fixed blades! As for my folders, I use those for everyday cutting tasks. Those are things like cutting open packages, boxes, or cutting tags off of purchases. The funny thing is that whenever anyone in my family or my girlfriend's family need to cut something, they know who to ask for! It's only funny because none of them really understand the steel addiction, but they sure do like knowing where to go when they don't have a pair of scissors handy!
