EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Another Spyderco Saturday with my modified Sage 5.

What do you think of the JRB blade, how’s the action with those bearings?🤔

I'd say very good. Could probably use some breaking in. Ever so slight hesitation when flipping open... easily overcome. But I'm not about to loosen anything. A little use and it'll fly. Satisfying thwack when it locks up. Zero play anywhere. Tight number. I plan on this guy living on me for quite some time so I'll certainly report back. It's a great "edc" size with wicked perfect ergonomics... it was fun bearing down on the jimping cutting this hard fruit in our yard. 20220820_140901.jpg
(Edit: weird yard fruit reacted immediately to the 01 steel and turned black)

Today I rode a 78 mile cycling event, with most of the roads being gravel roads around Lincoln NE. The event is called Gravel Worlds, if anybody happens to be curious. This is my second year doing the event and it is the hardest ride of the year for me by far. I took this photo before the ride, while everything was clean. UKPK Salt is by far my favorite knife for a cycling jersey pocket. Light, compact, and shrugs off the abuse of hours of exposure to sweat.

I had a nice lazy Saturday morning away from my cardio trek to rest my slowly improving sore foot, followed by a short wrangle to move and process a couple dozen unsplit oak bolts that have been languishing on our second lot. I dressed in jeans for the first time in a couple months as I had to wade through the underbrush next door and pocketed my Wayfarer 247 for the afternoon.

We've been chattering a little over on another thread regarding Olamics and Cheburkovs among others, and I had my small Strizh alongside for much of the day as I was taking pics and comparing its construction with another of Alexandr's knives I purchased yesterday. After receiving additional preliminary pics from the seller, I'm pretty sure the all-CF Leader that's on the way shares the same linerless linerlock construction as the Strizh, which is what gives a 4" flipper a stupidly light 3.4 oz weight.

I was just in the back yard talking to my dad on the phone when I got distracted with cutting the bases of blackberry bushes. Here in the Pacific Northwest they're a big problem and if you don't take care of them, they'll take over your property. When I was a kid that was one of my main jobs on my parents property every year. I'd be walking through the woods doing whatever and cut the base of each blackberry vine as I went. I'd also weedwack the bigger patches but if I'd just cut them at the base with my pocket knife as I came across them, it really made a huge difference. I've always enjoyed cutting them as it gives my knives a good hard use job and it brings back nostalgia.
