Can't do the 0450. LM Skeletool CX every day for 1 year.

My main EDC is a Manicx XL. I took the clip off and it fits into any pocket quite easily despite it's size. I can't carry EVERY day as I fly occasionally and the TSA frowns upon knives in carry on. I don't do checked baggage as it will likely be stolen. I usually end with a $4.00 dollar Walmart or truck stop knife I give away or throw away before boarding a return flight.

I an gonna try with a ZT0350. So far, 2 weeks =)

No fine print about no buying other knives in the meantime eh?
 
Knives should be used. I'll join you with my 940-2 - I already carry it daily, but only picked it up maybe 3 weeks ago, so we're still getting to know each other. Great idea.
 
I have one of these in the safe, along with several other great knives. I've carried my Southard AVO for two yrs now, and haven't yet found anything I like better.

No reason to look away, it's perfectly understandable. I think the Skele will be up to the task for the entire year, mine is a pleasure to carry and can do most of what I use my folders for. Clip is also excellent IMO

If I had to pick one I'd probably pick my 0801. I do like the 0452 and 0450, but I don't think I'd want for anything with the 0801. It is more confidence inspiring to me because it fits my hand and handles tasks better. Blade shape and tip work better for me. I'd love to get a BRZ.

I agree. The 0450 is very nice but too small for my hand. I agree entirely concerning the larger 0801, as it fits my large hand better, and the BRZ version is terrific.
Of course, some folks would prefer the Elmax or the M390 (BRZ model) over the S35VN in the 0450.

The CX stays in the car, but my regular Skele is one of my favorite MTs for off-work carry. Typical weekend carry is this

From improvised food prep

To fixing the bike twice during the same month (November 2016)
And most of the regular cutting chores that I can't do with the matriarch because of the people around me when out of work (for that I carry the ST300, Surge or Gerber/Swisstool as I'm rougher on my tools there)
