EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Been in the hospital since Tuesday, hoping to go home today. I've had the 0470 all week but didn't get much use. I suggest not getting burns like these or falling like I did. My knees are still black from bruising (and bone bruises). Blood work was pretty good yesterday.

K.O.D. K.O.D. , I’m not sure what happened but I sincerely hope you get home soon and make a speedy and full recovery!! You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
 
First harvest, about a month late.

Oh well there's always next year.
 
I've got 9 or 10 knives with Micarta, but when it comes to fulfilling my Monday obligation either this one or my F3 Python seem to jump to the top of the list. Today I went with the large 31 NM. I do have and enjoy at least a couple pieces in green canvas, but, with apologies to our friend J jfk1110 , I'm just a natural kinda guy.

That’s a shame. 🙁 Maybe fried green tomatoes?

Not sure why mine put out the way they did. We had snow on April 20th (rarity in Oklahoma) and I put them out a week later. First fruit came off of them the second week of July. I bet I gave away a bushel….and we still had more than we needed. I always plant Beefsteaks….don’t know why. Usually 14 plants and I always lose a few to our famous Oklahoma storms.

My onions and peppers outdid their selves too. I’m on my third planting of radishes, with each planting getting stronger and hotter.

You’ve got some NICE looking plants but I know how disappointing it is when they don’t produce…it happens to me often.

I bet you get a good amount still.

Rookie mistake. I forgot my carry at home on the table, had to improvise. Does it get the job done? No. Is it well made? No.
I’ll remedy this tomorrow.

If im ever posting pics of a large CS voyager or a byrd hawk bill in this thread then you know I forgot my knife that day and carried the glove box or visor backup which has happened on occasion. At least your paper knife looks well designed and Hinderer-ish haha.

Thanks, and thanks everyone. Tomorrow the plan is to move me from my hospital room to the rehab floor. The bone bruising in my knees is still so severe I can barely walk, and cannot get up more than one step. There are 14 stairs at home so I will be working on both that and strengthening my back. A lot of stuff was wrong from a medication reaction, then I tripped on a dumbbell, smashed into a hot electric radiotor, hit my knees on a 2 drawer file cabinet, and then my head and shoulder hit a shelf, knocked me unconscious.

Great looking plants and soil there Martin! I’ve been killing some thick slabbed tomato sandwiches lately myself. Nothing like homegrown.

TheFactor TheFactor Had one land here myself. No kidding on the packaging! The AD20 comes in a lonely, thin box, and the 20.5 gets the Caddy packaging! Lol

Still digging the Shaman, but the lure of the Stretch is strong!

I've been on the fence about this knife, mainly the AUS-10a. Does it work well with the thumb cutout?

Feels great in hand and really liking the shark lock.
As far as Aus-10a I don’t have a problem with it as I’ve had Aus-8 and I was fine with that to. I guess it all depends on your own individual needs and wants though and I enjoy hitting my knives on leather strop block anyway. If I wait to long to strop it there’s always my Edgepro or worksharp.I’m liking this one so much I might try to snag a sharks foot also but this clip point was first on my list👍🏻

EDIT: Sorry man I missed your question about the thumb cut out but yes the blood groove cut out works great for another option to flick open vs the thumb studs or even just to roll open.
