What blade did you EDC today?

Nice! I’m glad you like it. I haven’t done one myself, but there are people online who mod their Opinels by reshaping the wooden handle and staining it different colors. They look really cool too.

RC take care in that heat. I understand you are accustomed to dealing with it but please be careful

Fossil fuel to the rescue.

Well fossil fuel are outlawed in Denmark soon, as i recall the plan is for a 70% reduction in CO2 output in 10 years.i dont quite get it, electricity prices here are about the highest of any country in the world, but of course nowadays much of it come from wind.
Not long ago electric heating was just about the most silly thing you could ever do in a house, and since KW prices have not gone down i am wondering why people change or are forced to change to that now.
Maybe newfangled heat exchange things ( air 2 air or air 2 water ) are better than a old school electric heater.

AC in a house, at least for the the regular mortal house owner, that pretty much dont exist in Denmark, and really from our place on the globe we dont really need that, at the moment.

Like the shape of that Emerson, aside for the thumb thing.

My freshly pimped CRKT Crossbones today:

That is a really striking design. Glad to hear it hit home for you, Raccoon. :+1:

3.5” and 5.3oz weight is a bit on the heavy side for what I’d considered an ideal EDC. But for some, it may be just right.

I found my perfect EDC — The Asher Nomad. It ticks off “all the right boxes” — size, weight, performance, action, design, and steel. Pretty much the largest knife I own that can “disappear” in my pocket. Thin enough profile that I forget it’s there. Really loving this knife on so many levels. It is keeping me from buying anything else right now. :smiley:

Yep, we will.

My family is used to it by now, but it is really important to be careful with this heat.

That means staying inside as much as possible during the day.

Inspired by raccoon city’s talk about Kershaws, here’s one of my favorites:

Kershaw Ferrite

Hinderer design, lock bar over travel stop. The blade spine has a contour that fits my thumb perfectly for finer control.

I didn’t like the thumb stud as it’s redundant with the flipper tab and practically impossible to deploy with it anyway. It also sits in the cutting path and hinders sharpening. So I heated it with a soldering iron (red Loctite) and removed it with a vise and channel locks. I also sanded the blade coating as it looked very bland with the scales coated with the same color.

Got a pair in the mail today .Nice little knife for under 10$

Sanrenmu 9202 and my pimped Voltron razor:

That Voltron razor with wooden scales looks gorgeous. Do you have a link to the topic where you modified it?

Thank you! :slight_smile:
Unfortunately I was too lazy to document the process which included the following mods:

- rounding the corner of the lock- bar;

- slightly reshaping the wooden handle scales then finishing them with some linseed oil;

- replacing the nylon washers to bronze ones;

  • reprofiling the edge using 120# to 3000# diamonds and the UF rods of the Sharpmaker as the last step;
    I also had to replace the pivot screw since the original one was so heavily locktited I had to drill it out.

Yeah, I’d want to get rid of those nylon washers and go to bronze too. That’s disappointing they used such serious Loctite on it that required drilling out the pivot screw. I see it’s a mini (V15 Razor) and it was sold back in 2018… not available any longer. Bummer!

I can’t upload a photo via mobile as i use tapatalk and this forum isn’t available…. but today i’m EDC’ing a Chris Reeve Large Inkosi in red micarta. Normally it’s a carbon fiber/titanium spyderco military in s90v. And i always have a victorinox minichamp in my pocket with whatever blade i’m carrying.

That is beautiful! what size blade? i may be buying one. I love my bugout, but i like the look of this knife better. nice high flat looking grind, which i prefer greatly. I love this forum page as i very regularly see knives i’ve never even heard of before. i got into knives before flashlights, but both within the last two years.

My EDC most days (FH-41 in D2). I can abuse it, dont worry if i were to lose it. I dont much like clones as it kind of rubs me the wrong way. although this isn’t a clone (i don’t think) i know Ganzo makes them regularly, i just don’t buy those models. I only buy what looks like, to me, to be an original design. speaking of which, this knife’s design is great. Fits in my (XL glove size) hands very well. Fall shut action which is impressive for a $20 knife found on Amazon.

Thanks. The blade is 3.2” long. Weight is 3.5oz. The minimalist design is what initially drew me to it and the build quality is excellent. Plus axis-lock & S35VN. Thinner profile than most knives I’ve owned makes it an ideal EDC. Phosphor bronze washers. After opening/closing for a few days, breaking in the washers, action is so smooth.
