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
I got the same reaction / question from a 40 year old guy but I was hauling around the Regulator at the time. Yeah bud, this is my seven + inch machete.
Totally blew me away but considering the sheep that live in Virginia it makes sense the more I think of it and TOTALLY EXPLAINS A LOT. Been here almost my whole like and I still don't get these people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
