EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[Fullflat]

Quite literally, I've been carrying this one today as I worked on b-ball admin all morning and into the afternoon wearing what I slept in and had my new-to-me RDD in hand moving from my office to the LR and down to the kitchen writing schedules, emailing, and printing documents as I prepare for our 7 league championship finals this weekend. I took a late shower and if I head to the metal or wood shop will probably pocket something more work-like for that. I'll probably just work on layouts at the drafting table, though, and will keep the good doctor with me for that.

Such an excellent acquisition Chazzy! Congrats, and enjoy

I'm carrying 3 nice ones, IMHO.
Others of course, will disagree with me.

In my RFP:
Rough Rider RR1057 'A Stroke of Luck' Stockman (4.25 inches closed)
Clip Point, Sheepsfoot, and Spey/Budding blades.
Rough Rider RR1062 'A Stroke of Luck' Canoe. (3.685 inch closed)
Spear Point and Pen blades

On my belt: Marbles MR417 (2 blade) Folding Hunter (5.5 inches closed)
Clip point and Drop Point Blade.

Only the clip point is redundant.

Mostly a mix of these two perennial favorites on this drizzly PNW day.

Love the umnumzaan and that Shiro looks pretty damn nice as well.

This thing has really grown on me (Wano bolster release auto)...great lines and ergonomics. I think it might need a swedge though...

I vote "yes" to the swedge. Very nice knife and engraving work.

I was wondering what type of locking system this was. I noticed the seam on the backstrap, but I'm not familiar with autos.

Thanks! It's similar to a lockback, with the same type of notch in the tang. It just engages in both the open and closed positions, and instead of depressing the lockbar at the butt you shift the bolster which is attached to it.

How's it flip Edge? Does it have a nice balance to it?

Im not much of a flipper but the little i can do it performs pretty good imo. First bali ive had with bearing pivots and the biggest of the 4 i own at about 10.4" overall with a 4.7" blade. All the edges are rounded off nicely and even at almost 6 oz with ss handles it doesnt feel too heavy in motion. Im happy to see Kershaw USA get in the game and i think the lucha is a real bargain. I like it more than my bradley kimura which does feel kinda heavy being a little smaller. I might just need another for a backup haha!
