EDC-4 vs 4.1

[Silver Needle]

What is going on here? Where are there a bunch of EDC 4's for sale???

It just kinda fell in my lap as money fell outta my pocket. So to speak.

That's how it always happens!

Haha man, I'm gonna get a complex not having one!

I think Riz said it best. I have an addiction what can I say.

I lucked into a few of them last week, one of them has no markings at all.

Any thoughts of trading one in 3v for one in elmax?

 

[Psybull]

Sent you an email Texas_toothpick.

 

[Texas_toothpick]

I didn't get one but I sent one.

I finally got time to confirm my EDC 4 blade steel is Elmax. As described by Ellie and Psybull, I found the indicator hole near the middle hole. Here's a photo:

A wealth of information is an understatement.

I just received my edc 4 in the mail. I think my wife's jealous.

Pics are always a good way to make us jealous.....

Can do really love this blade. I think I'm gonna have to send it to Guy for a touch up. I just can't put an edge on it like him.

Whoa! That color combination is so cool. You have some highly functional history there!

Nice knife and nice patina! Love it!

 

[Silver Needle]

I'll let the man himself answer for sure, but I'm thinking that is a coated EDC 4.

 

[Texas_toothpick]

Yes of is, I'm gonna touch up the edge next week while I'm on the road. I bet my work partner hates me digging out my knives I'm always running them on either my stone or my sharpmaker. I know it drives him nuts trying to watch TV. But the edc 4 needs it so he will have to suffer.

 

[Standard78]

That looks a lot better oiled up!
The edge definitely needs some help. It was so dull that it wouldn't cut skin much less anything else.

Is one of the handles cracked?? The left handle from the middle screw the the bottom. Or is that just a trick of the photo?
