No photos, but today was:
Spyderco Resilience (left hip pocket)
Bad Blood Persian (right hip pocket)
Leatherman Wave (pocket clipped to left BDU pocket)
ESEE Izula (belt)
 
Sometimes I just like to carry this around the house whilst sipping my coffee. :D

Put a fresh new edge on my edc last night and back into the pocket she went. Of all the steels I have, no blade takes as wild an edge as Devin Thomas ss damascus. Smooth to the touch like glass, little bit of pressure and then it bites. Aside from a stropping here and there, the edge lasted 3 months of moderate to "heavy" cutting before needing a real hone. Constantly impressed by this blade.

I've gotta get me a Damascus Sebenza. I can get mine crazy sharp just from stropping it on my work pants. If the DT Damascus takes a better edge I've gotta try it.

Better is arguable, more refined however is certain. It comes down to the grain. The DT damascus just gets sooooo damn fine, so easily.
 
It has been either raining, sleeting, snowing, or a combination the last couple days here in the NorthEast so between these two I was rather rust resistant:

The refined portion of the Damascus Sebenza is clearly the owner. ;)

My girl got a fresh sand and polish.
 
My 1st ESEE. Have only had it for about 36hrs but really like it. Had to pick one up when I saw they now offered uncoated blades.

The one on my picture was a gift for my son, purchased May this year, exactly the same - un-coated blade.
I did some polishing and bluing after the first month, my son uses it very hard, cutting some building and AC materials, metal is fine, it holds good edge but it's rusting little bit if you don't clean it and protect it at least once a week...
It's a great size knife, love it...
Congrats on your new ESEE...

I went out to get the Christmas tree today. Was using the seb to cut those pesky white strings they wrap the trees with. It got pretty dirty and sap covered though, so I had to clean it when I got back. There was also a lot of dirt and stuff on the branches, and while I was cutting the strings the edge kept coming in contact with the dirty branches and it dulled it up pretty good. But definitely not as much as I expected.

The s35 is holding up quite well

Thanks! Bluing is a good idea. Didn't even think about that. Could've cold blued it.

We definately have a bit of a humidity battle here in FL - but i've never had any issues w/high carbon. Worst case scenario - maybe a little extra iron in the diet:p
