EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

We returned home to find the replacement filter for my 40-year-old shop vac had arrived from the Big River Site. It fits way better than any of those I've bought locally over the years and can't find any more anyway. No more cutting Gorilla Tape to bridge the gaps. :)

Carried the Air this morning to an interview for a volunteer position and now I'm carrying this newly constructed Franken Native 5 (my first blade swap; it took me almost an hour for a couple embarrassing reasons) which I'm super happy with (carrying/keeping the CF/Maxamet one):

The air is such an awesome little knife. I regret trading mine sometimes.

Did you know the liners are titanium?

I do now (didn't really give it too much thought to be honest and figured they were just stainless steel, but given the name, that makes a lot of sense)! ;)

I agree though; I love the Air! I kept wanting to pick one up for the longest time, but the retail prices for them new up here (Canada) weren't exactly conducive to me doing so. I was lucky enough to snag this one off the exchange at a very reasonable price in very good condition as more of an impulse buy iirc (I think I maybe thought about it for maybe all of 5 minutes before committing :D).

I really do like smaller "gent" knives, and after picking up (and also being extremely impressed) with the Benchmade 482 Megumi, I wanted to grab what I believed to be the Spyderco equivalent to that in the GB Air. Love the compact nature combined with the beautiful silver twill handles and the M4 wharncliffe blade!
