EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

For Saturday, an old favourite:

I finally got up on my client's roof to fix the top-floor bathroom plumbing vent boot that's been degrading over the winter, its leakage finally having gotten to the intolerable stage. The eave is a three high-ceilinged stories up, requiring a long extension ladder the 2nd story deck to get over the top deck rail with an assisting 4-foot step to cross, then another up to the eave, and a roof cleat set on the steepish pitch. Not a fun day for these old bones, though K came with me to set up the ladders late yesterday afternoon.

Here's my Carbon Fiber Friday carry with the old cracked and split boot on my tailgate after I limped back to the truck...

...and the new boot in place before putting the shingles back.

Sounds like a fun day! Lol Those architectural shingles are a pain to get apart to do a simple repair. Last fall I installed a roof cricket behind a chimney, had a time getting them apart. Sure glad the homeowner and a couple packs of extra shingles..

Yeah, they suck. Breaking the seal is easy on the doubled sections, but the single plies tear really easily. I had no spares and the pipe boot was well caulked. Thank god for BlueSeal and silicone!
 
Out of the safe for a glamour shot.
This beautiful queen with tool steel and Birds eye maple covers I won on a GAW a year or so ago with a picture of my cat Mercedes.
Big thanks to Black Mamba who picked Mercedes and gave me this stunning knife I will have in my collection for ever.
