EDC III Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Not open for further replies.
Ontario Rat II
Aus 8, orange nylon 6 scales.
At $27.00, not much to complain about other than the almost smooth scale texture.
Great ergos, very sharp, opens smoothly, perfectly centered blade, perfect evenly done bevels, great EDC.
(though I prefer my Dragonfly 2 and/or my Ritter Mini Grip)
This Rat II is a small unit of cheap well made Taiwanese fun.

Not a single thing wrong with RAT folders. I think that they can even be compared to larger, more expensive knives at double to triple the cost in terms of strength and reliability.
Im carrying my Native 5, like every day. I'm not gonna post any pictures because I need to take new ones.
 
In the city to teach a BJJ class Wednesday:

Today:

Ontario RAT 1 today for some work around the house

(No work today because of the flash floods. The rivers have been too high to rent canoes for two days and look like they will be for another yet.)

All three of these knives are great and have exceeded my expectations. I recently started a thread "Which knife were you disappointed in, which knife pleasantly surprised you" and all three of these were contenders for the second spot.

I'm relatively new here, but not new to knives. Here's my most recent set of favorite EDCs. sorry about the quality of the photo -- I know it sucks, and the blades are dirty!



left to right:
1. Hubertus German "camper" leverlock (JUST!! got it today - it's German made, the real thing)
2. Lone Wolf Harsey D2 D/A - bead blast
3. Microtech Navy SEAL edition Scarab single edge utility blade
4. Al Mar SERE 2000 Butch Vallotton D/A Conversion
5. Chris Reeve Large Insingo dual stud.

Small Insingo. Just finished with a quick strop and hair now just flies off my arm with zero pressure. This knife is SOOOO much better after I put a better primary grind with a micro bevel.
