Folder front right pocket, fixed blade straped to my back.
 
Last nights set. This inexpensive Kershaw Crown (3160) is a really nice little knife. Sort of like a dialed down Nakamura... ;)

It is not a RedTail feather, those look like this:

Its a Barn Owl Feather. Owl is Tecolote in Mexican Spanish.
Some indigenous cultures consider an owl sighting a harbinger of death.

"Among the Kikuyu of Kenya it was believed that owls were harbingers of death. If one saw an owl or heard its hoot, someone was going to die. In general, owls are viewed as harbingers of bad luck, ill health, or death."

"In the culture of the Uto-Aztec tribe, the Hopi, taboos surround owls, which are associated with sorcery and other evils. The Aztecs and Maya, along with other Natives of Mesoamerica, considered the owl a symbol of death and destruction. In fact, the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use[32]: Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies"). ... in the native Cherokee culture, as well as many other Native American cultures, owls are a very bad omen. It is said that if you are outside in the broad day light and owl flies over your head a family member or loved one would die within the coming week."

Im still EDCing the Slimline Trapper. I love the handle ergonomics and the blade size and style. I have the Chrome Vanadium blade. It is developing a nice patina, really fast, like in the same day as I cut a lemon with it :-).. I like patina instead of Shiny Stainless..

Spyderco Sage 2. I gently - and just barely - rounded over the edge of the Spydie hole because it was too sharp for my liking. Opens like butter, flicks open easily, and excels at EDC and gentleman's knife duties. Wish it gave me a tip down option, but I'll get by. :thumbup:

Still carrying the same thing, a hot pink Izula. I'd talk about how much I love my Izula, but I think enough has been said about it elsewhere.
