What blade did you EDC today?

:+1:
Do you have a matching shirt for it? :wink:

I was thinking about using this as a folding Sgian Dubh under the kilt while enjoying the neighborhood with some bagpiping.

Jokes aside, I actually have a colleage who’s doing that but to me it is as he’d hold a cat tucked under his arm with its tail in his mouth, alternately chewing and biting it, considering the sound and looks…

I EDC a knife. If it isn’t the same knife every day, I’m still EDCing a knife.

You might EDC a knife… but the question is which one did you everyday carry today, implying that you do not carry that same one every day.

Got tired of the stock blue color of my 535 Bugout, so I tried my hand at Rit dye for the first time, turned out pretty nice IMO. Used “frost gray” and had to keep it in the simmering water+dye for quite a while to get it as dark as I wanted, but that lighter dye color really let me choose just how far I wanted to go.

Included original carry bag for a pretty close reference to the original color.

CH Knives CH3541 front flipper:

Kershaw Cannonball 2061!

I received this knife yesterday.

It's pretty good, but it's not one of my very favorites.

It has a short clip on it that I thought I wouldn't like, but it's fine.

It kinda reminds me of my Cryo II BlackWash, but with better steel.

This compact Tunafire flipper lately:

Fake Kershaw Launch 10 arrived. Nice little knife. Generally I don’t like fakes, but tried to buy an original and that’s a little complicated with auto knives for non US buyers. I’ll keep trying.

I buy all the sub 2” blade autos from ali because I can carry them in Cali. And there are some bitchen ones too! I have that 10 so snappy.

Modded neck knife.

!!

I think that’s spaghetti sauce; could be paint though.

Nicely done! I was just about to quote your post before, pics or it didn’t happen sort of thing and there it is.

Today, my usual really, the UKPK in blood popsicle red G10. I’ll add a pic in a min.

Like how you made you own scales. Have you ever done a post on how you do it on any forum?
That Medford love it.

Carrying an Enzo necker today.

I’m very pleased with the result myself, I just wish the Titanium liners were not flat but with a recess for the scales like on the Mnandi (and other knives).

That would add a lot of stability (and manufacturing cost), the way it is the knife feels a bit flimsy to me.

Have you tried the Slack? Quite a few of the Bokers, like the Kwaiken and Trapper are quite long and thin gentleman’s pocket knives. The Slack is similar in design but fairly solid. Laser cutting the liners would be easy for Boker, but CNC work to shape the scales is an expensive way to make a budget knife more solid. Most manufacturers would just fit thicker liners.

Your knife blog is interesting.
How do you know those blades are D2 steel ?
Do you test them ?

I’ve seen the Slack, no clip, not for me.
Still I do like the Urban Trapper, it’s a wonderful knife by all means, with these thin liners maybe steel (skelletonized) would have been the better choice though.

Kershaw Terran 2080!

This knife is a lot smaller than most of my knives, but I do like it.

It's kinda like a gentleman's folder.

It's lightweight and pretty slim.

It has a 3.125" blade and seems like a toy compared to my larger knives.

I think it looks really good, though, and it's a nice change of pace.
