EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Pared it down to only the Case for the evening, as I'm just wearing boardshorts Florida Man style while I'm grilling my supper. Also switched my watch to the G-Shock to aid in timing, seen here timing the rest. Then went with the BM to slice up dessert. Curiosity got the best of me, and I finally looked up what model it was, the Protagonist. It's actually a cool little pack knife, and quite the slicer. Just 154CM, but hell, that served me well for years before I "knew better" :rolleyes: ;)

Thanks its a Vosteed Nightshade. Ball bearing flipper with good action and F+F for a budget folder, as expected from an OEM like Kizer. The 154cm blade has a nice sticky edge from the factory on my example, feels ground thin, and slices pretty well the few times I've used it since arrival. The stonewash finish looks good on this gray G10 version. Its definitely a unique looking blade shape which is what drew me in and is surprisingly useful with the thin geometry and negative blade angle presenting the edge to the work easily. Medium sized so it carries well and the liner lock is a good thickness with no play. Everything is rounded off pretty well on the handle and the blade has a crowned spine. Diggin it so far!

Yeah liking it for sure, it's very simular to the original, the carbon fiber is darker vs the og, and the new blade shape is curvey but not crazy.

I like how it feels, and they changed the feel of the detent, more crisp now. I knew I'd like it, but having it in hand solidified getting it.

Here it is vs the first version

Both have exceptional cf, no gaps or voids.

I'm glad they are keeping the Sprint line going.

Happy national knife day everyone! Today I carry this Kershaw Scallion. A very handy little pattern. My first quality knife (besides a SAK) was a half serrated Scallion with aluminum scales. I traded a small bag of marijuana for it 🤣 and was the happiest young man in the world! I've since grown out of liking half serrated blades or marijuana personally, but have some very good memories of time spent with both.
