My EDC short of the Surefire Nitrolon, Krypton key chain LED light, IPhone and A Kabar last ditch knife laced in the boot.

Revolver is a S&W 360, the leather is by Kramer and the blade is a Benchmade Auto.

I have at times been known to carry a 1911 or a GLOCK in addition.

Charlie_Kilo, excellent choice in phones. :D

Not exactly my full EDC, and it changes frequently. Last time I was in the States, this was what I carried, plus my wallet and a Spyderco Harpy.

Work days:

Inova flashlight
Bandanna
Wallet w/ duct tape and band aids
Swisstool Spirit multitool
Keys w/ Victorinox Classic
cell phone
$1 in assorted change
cheapie generic pen
Ka-Bar Dozier folding knife

Weekends:

basically the same, but add a lighter and exchange the Spirit tool for a Leatherman Wave, and the Ka-Bar for a Cold Steel medium Voyager and a black Kershaw Leek with a mother of pearl inlay (the only one I've ever seen). When I'm wearing cargo pants, I'll add a DMT Mini-Sharp, a Doug Ritter PSK, a fire steel, and other odds and ends.

Keys, car and truck on one ring; house, shed, misc. padlocks on another

wallet with usual stuff plus a p-38 and a 4-blade flat screwdriver (it came with the Craftsman set)

Buck 303, 3-blade pocket knife

Cheap Winchester liner lock knife (like they sell at Wal-Mart) which I found on the side of the road

small nylon pouch (it was a traveller's wallet made to go on a neck cord) containing:
bic lighter
2 small pieces of bicycle inner tube (fire starting)
whet stone
itty-bitty compass
tweezers
mag lite solitaire (I need to add a spare battery)
2 bandaids
small piece of mole skin (blisters)
10' hank of nylon bailer twine
small sewing kit (some thread wrapped around a piece of cardboard and a couple of needles)


I am thinking about adding some toenail clippers

I would like to have a weapon, but I work in a VA hospital and that is strictly forbidden. I have to wait until I get home.
