EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I switched up this afternoon, although the 247 is still in my pocket. I was reminded that I posted in the knives with holes thread and got out my 710-1401 modded with gorgeous Keyman Desert Ironwood Holey scales. I've been a little frustrated with the knife as it's a BM with a drifty pivot and for some reason the LockTite just wouldn't set on it despite numerous cleanings with swabs and alcohol and overnight dry time. I finally disassembled again, cleaned the pivot with acetone, reassembled, LockTited, put it in the drawer, and kinda forgot about it. Seems fine now and I think it's gonna stay put.

It finally stopped raining this afternoon--wetest Fall I can recall--and I actually got some fresh pics.

Nice really nice :thumbsup::thumbsup: I sure hope the lockTite keeps things in order this time. :D
 

Imho an assisted or an auto isn’t even good enough. A folding knife has to be waved in my opinion and then a reverse wave draw has to be practiced until it is second nature. (Regular wave draws the knife into a weak grip).

I can actually get a waved folder reverse waved faster fron my pocket than an iwb fixed blade because the fixed blade is typically under my shirt, which I have to move out of the way to access the handle.

However nothing is faster than a fixed blade where that isn’t an issue of needing to clear clothing to get it.

Compound grind edge?

The darker area above the edge is the exposed Super Blue steel. The edge itself is just very slightly convex, and sloppily maintained with low level freehand sharpening & stropping ;) No microbevel or anything like that. Where it looks like a funky grind above the edge itself in that shot, that’s just where I buffed the patina off rubbing it against the strop.
Just got it back after it spent some time with another cool member who I respect greatly, ScooterG ScooterG , so I couldn’t resist touching it up & pressing it back in to service. This stretch has been around the block!

Thanks for the kind words. That Stretch just wasn’t getting the pocket time it deserved over here. Glad you’ve got it back and will enjoy it!

I was responding to Filthy. He accidentally put the post I am responding to inside the quote brackets causing his answer in his post to all be hidden inside the drop box. His post is #5683 if you are curious about the context, you just have to open the drop box in that post.

Le blade du jour. Plain old cqc7 and I love it.
