EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Not my longest knife, but for sure the longest named--Monkey Edge Frag Pattern Three Rivers Manufacturing RJ Martin Machine Flipper-- is my carry on this Framelock Flipper Friday.

I carried my Wilson Combat Les George Eagle Wednesday and posted it here and in a thread about CTS-XHP. I got the aforementioned out as it also has that steel and wanted some pics of it alone as well as the two together. Here's the TRM downstairs in the sheetmetal shop while I worked on making a (hopefully) watertight parting strip for our basement bulkhead door...

Decided to go with the Machine for today as your post got me hyped up to pull it out the zipper pouch as well as the other day i was exchanging with Marianne, the owner of TRM, on their FB group about the Machine. She had mentioned only 200 in total were ever made with 150 in the standard wavy pattern and only 50 in the Monkey Edge frag scales, of which Ive only seen 1 or 2 at most in the groups i visit of the latter.

Nice pics, Edge, and I'm glad I inspired you to carry yours. I might prefer the look of my Frag Machine, but I sure do like your wavy pattern too. Thanks for posting the info from your conversation with Marianne, as I'd always wondered how many of them were made and how they were proportioned. I've read that RJ personally sharpened each knife as well as setting their detents for flipping action, so while it wasn't a big run, per se, that's still a pretty fair number of knives to individually handle.

It's kinda cool that many of see someone else's carry one day and match it the next or at least carry something related. I'd been kinda hankering to carry something long, slender, and pointy today and was tending toward my Russian drawer but ended up a couple feet away and grabbing my 0801BW after seeing Keyopp Keyopp 's knife carried and posted yesterday. Funny too, as I was catching up here before posting and there's two entries from today of yoko yoko carrying his Rexford-designed ZT. His lunch looks pretty inspiring too, but I just ate. ;)
