EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

You should see the Halloween costumes my wife has bought for him

 

Carrying this Diskin Volcan today -

 

Newly arrived Pena X Apache. I actually managed to score this one from a dealer at retail, which is a first for me on the Pena front flippers since I'm usually at work when they are released. It's a shame they are produced in such small numbers because they are truly excellent daily carry knives. Very glad to have the Apache in the rotation!

 

Benchmade Mini Griptilian (20CV blade steel + Contoured G10 scales)

How cool !! Hope you share those when Halloween arrives He's going to be a rockstar here

 

Today I posted first and caught up later, @filtrum , so now that I know--Happy Birthday, brother!

 

Very nice. Akitas are no joke.

 

Yeah, like said before they are great dogs! Very friendly, smart and loyal (and they never leave you alone in good and bad).

 

Nail nick looks close to pivot - is it difficult to open? I like the Pena jigged titanium pieces.

 

Not at all difficult. The detent isn't super strong so it's much less effort to open compared to a slip joint or lockback.

 

My new favorite knife, Cheburkov Strizh small

 

Out of the safe to give my Barkies some love and a wipe down.
