I'm gonna change things up and go a little different today. Delica in right front pocket, and the trusty K55K in the back left.
 
Awesome picturess Singlaurity. Ty for sharing :thumbuop*

Today I am carrying light: Case red Barnboard Canoe Stainless Steel.
 
Switched it all up today! Had planned to carry the new Spyderco Vallotton I bought, with Saturday Delivery, but someone fogot about adding it on and it shipped out with standard Overnight shipping instead. Enough of that though as I broke out my John W. Smith SD-3 folder for my front right hand pocket, and my large Case Gunstock for my slippie that goes into my left front pocket. I hadn't carried these two in over a month and forgot how good they feel and handle!:thumbup::)
 
At first I was like:

I managed to find a Kershaw Skyline (a rarity up here in Ottawa) at a local store and I jumped all over it. I can see what all the hype is about. Really cool, cheap, decent knife for $50.

You paid $50 for it? You can get them online for $35 shipped.

Three points:
- Customs: Any knife that passes through the border, whether ground, air, or express (UPS, FedEx, etc.) has the liability of it being taxed heavily. It's not uncommon for Canadians to see a $35 knife turn into a $70 knife.
- Seizure: Since most knives are designed to be opened by one hand, it's up to their discretion of whether or not to seize it. After talking with suppliers, they said that even themselves get seized shipments, or shipments that get held for 6 months.
- Supporting local supplier. This pretty much explains itself :)

I pay almost twice as much as you guys in the states for knives. For example, the Spyderco Tenacious is about $50 also, and a ZT 0300 can cost up to $350 here. A CRK is close to $450 and even a Benchmade 710 McHenry Willams cost close to $200.

Still these two today.

Agreed with poster above... awesome pics and awesome knives!
