What blade did you EDC today?

The Copper Bean

The fh11 anf fh12 is good but the real kwaiken for me from sanrenmu is the 1161. The fh11/fh12 has a too much rounded tip for being a kwaiken knife, the 1161 is a real kwaiken.
I am going to do a video talking about kwikens soon.

Regards!.

The SRM 1161 is also nice but it’s a bit too butt heavy for my taste. It weights almost a full ounce more than the FH12 (137 g vs. 111 g) so I tend to grab the FH12 for EDC.

Mini Enlan EW148 flipper is in the pocket along with the FH12 today:

Typically I carry 2 knives regularly. My choices for EDC are my small A.G. Russell which is carried every day, and then I’ll add either my Spyderco Delica or my Kershaw Leek depending on my mood. All are solid knives with good steel.

Spyderco Delica - SS scales & VG10 steel
A.G. Russell - bone scales & ATS-34 steel
Kershaw Leek - carbon fiber scales & CPM154 steel

I’m not familiar with this knife, what is it?

Thank you Man Without Shadow. Amazon is where I got it. They were $10 off one day when I stumbled upon it. That was the only reason I picked it up. It’s super small and easy to carry in the pocket. The pocket clip on it is a monstrous little thing. Clamps down on your pocket something fierce and doesn’t want to let go. Hard to unclip from your pocket. Rides really nice in the pocket. No locking system at all on it. Just a couple of indents for a ss ball to rest in. So user beware of that.

Ganzo FH21 flipper:

Received this morning my Sanrenmu 9165 with aluminum handle. Great large blade and very light (85 grammes). The optional locking mechanism is original and you can lock it closed.
My only complain is the thumb-stud that is hard to use and not comfortable, two hands opening is far better. I will remove it.

I asked them for a lightweight gentleman large non-locking knife and its good that they are listening to the customers. :wink:

Nice! :+1:
How do you like the alu handle? Is it grippy enough?

The holes in the handle really help with the grip and the shape of the handle is comfortable. Its surprising good for aluminum, I’m only afraid of getting scratches on it.
The one hand opening is also getting easier with break in and learning to place the thumb on a special angle.

I might order the plain Jane G10 version and drill the holes using my CF version as template for maximum grip. :slight_smile:

would have been perfect with a liner lock or back lock…

But this way it’s unique and perfectly legal in nanny states.
Except the UK, fork the UK.

Subvert clone:

I like the look of that one. Spyderco’s designs are a bit strange but they seem to make it work. It’s a big knife, isn’t it?

Yes, it’s a big fellow with 4.14” (105 mm) blade and 9.17” (233 mm) overal length. :slight_smile:

It’s not a Spyderco design. It’s designed by Nati of Black Snow Customs.
