EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Photo made for the CPK forum yesterday. Today, I'm carrying - the knife that is. The other thing is a little too large to EDC - in California at least :)

Couldn’t decide this morning which knife to carry. Currently got both of these 940s at my desk today. Will most like end up with the Brass 940 in my pocket later. It has been my companion for the past couple of weeks. So far, I really like how the character of the scales change daily.

Working (on my RDD) Wednesday. The clip on this one sits in a milled recess and is held tight by a single interior screw. The recess is just the tiniest bit too large and the clip will develop a little lateral movement over time even with the screw honked down as tight as I dare go. I've used clear nail polish as a fill and bonding agent for the screw and between the clip and handle slab, but it gives up after a while even though the screw does not seem to loosen. It's a PIA to re-do as it requires disassembling the knife and dealing with any roller bearings that escape, so this time I used blue LocTite in the recess and on the the screw, hoping it will hold.

Am I seeing things, the bit in the wiha seems to be missing the center?

Looks like a spanner bit.
OO, is correct, it is a spanner bit. The blue anodized Shirogorov Hedgehog tool in the pic has a bit small enough to fit the little Shiro PacMan screws, but you can't get any torque on it to break a galled bond or honk down tight. The pictured Jekyll to Hyde tool smaller bit is too large. I'm more comfortable with the spanner bit at the extremes as it seems less likely to cam out or do damage than a common screwdriver, though I have gotten good results with a properly fitting common tip covered in electrical tape. I've never had any interest in a Shiro pen tool at the price of a good quality mid-tech knife. 🙄
