EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[ChazzyP]

Ahh, that makes sense. I was just saying it looked like the custom version of the MBK Sprocket, which I assume is his production model he had Monterey bay knives run. I actually like it more now that I've seen the custom.

So I did a little looking around after checking out your link, and see now that MBK is a Laconico/Owens-founded company that has their knives produced in China. McGinnis was the designer for them on the knife you mentioned, nicely priced at $225.

At the other end of the spectrum is the McGinnis Custom Sprocket from his own company, everything done in-house and numbered, those knives currently selling at AZK for 4 figures.

In between is my MCK Valve which is just a little bigger--3.625" v 3.375"--with everything done in house but the blades which are ground elsewhere but finished with the rest of the knife by Gerry or his dad. Those ProLine mid-techs sold for mid-500's when they were available new.

Working from Ft. Couch today:

Ah, so that's where that one ended up. I like my two Al Mar Talons a lot and that jigged bone on yours is great. Looks like someone has Chipped away at your bolsters, though....

Nice edge on that.

Thanks!

I like it, but why do I have to ask what it is?

Because you don't know and want to find out?

View attachment 1379031 For traditional Thursday I offer the Buck 303 and 301 along with the Mini Canadian.
i am doing a test today to see how much difference there is between the 2 slip joints in practical use for me.

Hard to believe it's Thursday already. For Throwback Thursday I'm going with a Case 62031 1/2 in rough black and my grandfather's Bulova (I replaced the band). This XX era knife snaps like a bear trap, could be the reason why no one has touched it.

View attachment 1379069 Quick update.. got hungry.. the 303 barely got it done.. the 301 did much better on its half. I think mostly weight was the factor here , because the Micro C with the shorter blade and bigger handle does this quite well.. hmmm

I’ve never seen a G10/bolstered Bug. Pretty cool!

Thank you! It feels really good in the hand for such a small knife.

How are you liking that Glock fixed blade? I don't really have use for one, but I've always wanted one.

So far it's been the Deka...

...but I just cleaned and lubed my Socom Elite and 0450, the latter being a step that's new to me for knives that run on bearings, so I think they'll be getting some love too.

I've read a lot of conflicting advice about running bearings dry vs. lubed, but over the past few months I've also bought a couple of knives on bearings that came visibly oiled from the factory. They were great, so I've been taking baby steps and lubing my bearing knives with 10w Nano-Oil, just like my washer knives. So far so good, and now my Socom is back to being the finger-guillotine it should be.

Very cool shot. Also, it reminded me I too have an AD10, so thank you for that. I might dig it out this weekend..
