What blade did you EDC today?

I had owned a TwoSun TS66-G10 up until last week. I gave it away as a gift. The person said “this is an awesome knife, I love it.” Yep, simply amazing knife for around $30-$35 on eBay where I had gotten mine.

The mod you did to yours is very cool!

Thanks!
I mean the price - value ratio of the Land 912 is outstanding in the budget category.
The TS66-G10 is also nice but it cost me 3 times more than my Land 9103 (912).

I really like the TS66-G10 in blue/white. It reminds me a little of Japanese Manga.

Drop Gent G10 black. S35v bought on sale during Christmas.

I love that little guy. I have the same, and contemplating getting the CF or rosewood version.

G10, D2 for under $30. My edc workhorse.

Yeah same here. For $60 on special with the S35v steel, very toned down look, slim profile, and bearings. Makes for a very good EDC. The S35v holds it’s edge pretty good as well.

My EDC knife for the past ~12 years has been a Boker LEO-Damast III with the ironwood inlay. The wife got it for me and it’s been an awesome knife; much better than my $20 Gerber I had before it.

I also hate the cavity left for swapping recessed clips. Some designs address this by including a swappable steel cover plate but I think that’s ugly. This has caused me to pass on a bunch of otherwise nice knives.

This is the coolest and most interesting solution I’ve seen. How durable is that long-term?

Thanks! So far so good. :slight_smile: I hope this Gorilla epoxy won’t let me down.

I’m not a big fan of these left side carry pocket clip slots either. I can live with it on my Land 910plus and Ganzo FH11 but on this TwoSun it was quite irritating.

I think I’ll carry my new Emerson Commander Karambit for the first time. My Super CQC8 was getting a little heavy yesterday.

Bestech Texel

I’m thinking of dying it a light pink to keep the semi-translucent affect.

Nice! I’ve had a hankering for a knife with “jade” scales (semi-translucent soft green). There are quite a number of knife models available in the budget range, each with slightly different texture and shading. I really like the look of the Texel. Where did you find it?

Got it from White Mountain Knives. https://whitemountainknives.com/

The Texel is a really nice knife. I finally got a black one after getting my hands on a spare black back spacer to match it. Being a humid summer though, I probably won’t do the swap and start carrying it until Fall.

Given the excellent results of your lavender Feldspar, I’d love to see a pink Texel. I’ve been on the hunt for cheap Jade G-10 to practice my dye skills with your method.

Thank you for the compliment on my lavender job. Looks like it might be a while until the local Michael’s craft store will have pink DyeMore in stock.

The blade is coated with lube to inhibit rust, so it doesn’t look pristine. Plenty sharp.

Yeah, seems there’s many sites offering that discount at the same time. But White Mountain has no minimum for free shipping… and of course, it sold out there. :person_facepalming:

I seen the jade Texel on Amazon, as well, with free shipping. But it showed limited stock, six on hand I believe. It’s $52 like most retailers, too.
