EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

As I've mentioned a couple times recently, the job I just finished yesterday has been kickin' my old a$$ to the extent that I've barely been able to manage any knife pics, get to my daily postings, or even keep up with things here. After like 10 hours sleep last night, a rest day before returning to clean up and get my gear home has already enabled me to catch up on the thread and execute a massive like fest. It's also influenced my choice of knives for the day, adding my 0801BW to the Shiro 111 I was gonna carry after seeing the Arsenal Show limited release of the latter over at USN. @wayben 's earlier post and JonesE JonesE showing off his newly acquired Rexford design reminded me how much I like mine and that got my favorite model ZT out of the drawer and along for the ride today, making this a kinda Thursday Black Friday carry with these two.

As a postscript, I would add that I've divested myself of most of the ZT's I've owned largely because my beat up old mitts have found many of them difficult to disengage. Another dislike has been their blades-as-billboard ethos--an unattractive feature along with their painted black with white ZT logo clips. I do love ZT blackwash finish, though, which helps disguise all the verbiage on the 0801's blade and the new powder-coated, deep carry MXG clip I added really complements the look of this very favorite knife. No offense intended to all of those here that love their ZT's--they're solidly built, good value knives and, as usual, to each his or her own and YMMV. ;)

Still got that contented new knife feeling from yesterday. Went with the 0801BW again since it is such a good design. I can’t seem to leave leave it alone though and ordered some titanium hardware and new clip. Like ChazzyP, I dislike logos on the clips of my knives.

Did you get black hardware and clip for that or bright? I thought a little about going bright with my clip but hadn't considered changing out the screws and pivot and decided to keep the stealth finish throughout. I figure if the powder coated clip gets a little banged up it'll blend with the blackwash just fine. I love that look and one of the knives I regret selling was my de-assisted 0350 in that same finish. I look forward to seeing your Rexford tricked out when your parts come in.

I like everything about the 0801 and the BW is just icing on the cake. I always wanted a second one as my first pimped model is just too pretty to carry and scuff up. I spent a whole evening re-sanding the bolsters after scratching them up when I first got it. Off-topic here, but I'm always happy to show that one off too.... ;)

...and no more billboard effect, either. :)
