On the search for the perfect EDC fixed. Been at it since 1971 and maybe a street scrapper 4, a rat hunter or a mean street could be the holy trinity of EDC. Hope so, I've been lookin a long time. Any comments from those blessed ones who aready have one or even more of these on how they carry and conceal?

Welcome Hatch, while I like the SS4, the handle is a bit large for EDC, the mean street thinner, and shorter. I had an IWC sheath for my MS and it was perfectly comfortable. The SS4 has a more rounded belly and I find it is a better small camp/utility blade.

Hatch - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! You can't go wrong with either knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Welcome to the yard Hatch. I have to agree with GF, the SS4 is a little big and bulcky for me to EDC I like to carry a fixed blade EDC in my front pocket and the SS4 just don't fit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It is a great knife though, just can't EDC it on my daily routine.

I liked Vance's idea of a SYKCO Game Warden style and size knife called the Dog Catcher, I'd be all over that!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I am fixing to EDC a DM.

Hi, Hatch! Welcome to the yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a MS ( <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />), but I've been EDC'ing my SS4 at work since I got it about 4 months ago. I wear khaki slacks and carry it concealed in my right front pocket. Here are a couple of pics of it and the kydex sheath I made for it.






The knife stands straight up and the sheath makes it tilt toward the front so it doesn't peek out. Luckily, the pockets are just deep enough. The pants are also pleated, which helps conceal it, and the knife itself is very light for it's size.

That works! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I can't vote on those choices, because I do not yet have a SS4. Usually I carry a folder for EDC, but sometimes I carry my Swamp Rat HRLM. I just love that little knife. On occasion, I have carried the Dumpster Mutt.

i carry a small custom "Boartooth" made by Gossman knives for my fixed blade EDC

Folders are my normal method but I have been carrying it ina pocket sheath for a couple weeks and love it!

The size of the mudder handle makes the SS4 both longer and wider than the DM. I have my sheath ideas sketched out, and used my Ranger TFI (nearly the same size as the DM - Micarta slabs make it wider as well)as a test for sizing. It should come out cool.

I have some sheaths on order for my SS4 and DM so I am going to try EDCing them when they get here.
