EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Big love for USPS today, as I got three nice packages when I went to the PO this morning. One was a thick mailing envelope with a lovely Fathers Day card and kind note from my middle son, a card sent on behalf of my 7 month old grandson, and several great pics of the little guy with his Dad in some.

Secondly, was the free Veto Pro Pac TP5B Tech Series bag that came as a promotion when I bought my XXL-F carpenter's bag last month. It's really more of a way over-sized side bag for a sparky like @Dcdavis or tech like @Korean Hog , but it comes with an attachable handle and stand-up bottom besides having both a belt clip and loop. I can see outfitting it with basic tools and using it for small, quick jobs when I don't have to drag the full complement into a client's home. VPP's stuff is extremely well made and thought out and a pleasure to handle and use.

Thirdly, I got my new-to-me RHK 3.5" XM18 No-Choil Skinny Slicer from @MacLaren1 which arrived a day ahead of schedule after our friend shipped it almost immediately. It's not often that a knife you have great expectations for meets or exceeds them right out of the box, but this one is everything I hoped it would be. Even though I'm more of a coarse stonewash kinda guy, I really like the working finish and two-tone blade with the satin flats. The action on the Tri-Way with the bearings installed is outstanding and the overall thin-ness of the blade and handle are even better than I might have imagined. I thought I might want brighten up its color scheme too, but am really kinda digging its overall gray vibe.

The only one not happy about today's gains might be my Plain Jane Inkosingo that got thrown back into its slipcase and drawer for Throwback Thursday afternoon. (Still love ya, PJII! :))

Beauty is in the eye of the knife holder? I can never remember sayings correctly. :D I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for one of these on the exchange. I don't care how smooth and ergonomic that thing is in hand, it's especially hard to look at with that fluting widening up and all that perfect machining....:cool:

I think its “beauty is in the eye of the beer holder,” been wrong before tho. ;)

Thanks brother! I’m really digging your FK2 & beaver tail combo today, btw. Forum member @Signalprick did the covers for the 71. I can’t say enough good things about Jason, as a craftsman, or an individual. Hope you’re having a great Thursday

Thanks man, having a great day. Hope the same for you. I am definitely going to have to get in touch with signalprick sometime, those are just too sweet.
The 71 is a great knife, love the ergos and the manly pull.
Also big thumbs up on that DEK, double black is my favorite!
