EDC for me is also a medium folder. In my socialist State of MA (where Freedom started and ended), anthing larger than 2 inches is VERY SCARY to most people. Fixed blade EDC - not a chance here. In the woods, sure, but I prefer 5-6 inches.

Was doing some chopping with a dogfather at a Scout campout the other week. One of the smaller kids asked with wide eyes "Is THAT a machete???" "Hey look! He has a machete!" "Why are you using a machete???".

They don't see too many real knives in these parts. Baahhhh... baahhhh
