Just getting ready to go shopping and decided to pull my Gec 62 easy pockets out of the safe to admire and relive the chase to get them

Part of the trip to the store carry

Giving this little fixie a go today. Haley DesRosiers designed/Winkler made BTU (Bird-Trout-Utility). I’ve never had any of these contoured scales, so I was a little concerned with that unknown, but they work well in hand.

I like the design, though the edge could be a bit thinner. It’s a nice minimal size with a 3” blade, similar to the UTX-85 in that “just enough” handle dimension.

Amen to that "just enough handle" perfect edc blade for me

Broke out probably my favorite G10 Para 3 variant I own. But....... I have to say the LW versions have surpassed it on the likeness scale for me over the G10 models. Oh well, still enjoy carrying them but only with an aftermarket clip. Give me a wire on the G10!

Starting to look and feel like Spring here today, some green new grass planted last fall. I love the orange/black Para 3 and one of my trusty SAK classics.

Yes, it's an old-style liner lock Rainmaker. I'm glad I got one before they switched to frame locks--I much prefer a well done liner lock to a frame lock.

All stealth + gold sounds pretty cool, hmm. Olamic has so damn many options that part of what keeps me from buying the next one is not being able to decide which options to go with.

That blue Rainmaker is one of my favorite ~4" blade folders, I carry it and my 0454 most out of my folders that size and the Rainmaker is by far the better cutter of the two (ZT-style fat wedge on the 0454 vs thin hollow grind on the Rainmaker).

Just in case the stealth + gold description isn't tempting enough, here's a few pics from back in the day of my 247.

I'll carry it tomorrow so as not to be too far off topic today.

It's a surprisingly good cutter for a big knife, thanks to a deep enough hollow grind to make it quite thin at the edge. I'm partial to skinny handles on big knives, for the ease of carry, but too often the short blade height combined with thick blade stock yields knives with fat wedges at the edge. And yes, it's very pretty, though I love it too much to leave it in a drawer, so the blade and pocket clip are dinged up in places.

I really like big knives and have quite a few that I carry regularly. I know what you're saying about the big wedge of a blade on some of them making for less than ideal cutters, though. I had my Crooked River with me back and forth between the two workshops today. It's a handsome knife and great in hand but not really a good slicer nor fine cutter with its BMK saber grind and fairly thick blade stock. More of a woods knife really--after all it is part of the Hunt series.

And yes, I've got a lot of knives that are too nice to leave in the drawer too and have the marks to show their use. It's just that some I'd rather not suffer gratuitous damage from banging into standing power tools or metal forming machines. I've gots lots of Shiro's, CRKs and others that are work users and bear the scars that show the love. Others are carried and used more lightly in an EDC sorta role.

Probably not anyone's fav but I'm carrying my Outdoor Edge 3.5" ONYX EDC. I love it because it's sturdy and cheap and flips out like mad, and when it gets dull I can plop in a new razor sharp blade in two seconds. Also its extreme grivory scales keep it from slipping upright in the pocket into an uncomfortable horizontal position at the bottom. These two points are to me totally worth the price of admission. $21 dollars for the knife with three blades, and extra six packs for ten bucks. Hard to beat for me. Much easier than sharpening. I've never been good at that.
