EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[Wolverine666]

I was waiting around before and after supper yesterday for my new Cheburkov Leader LW to show up, following the UPS truck on their live delivery location map as I sometimes do. Oddly, the truck was driving in and out of a rat's nest of small residential roads in the next town, a route not at all normal for our address, and I'm wondering if my package is on the wrong truck or if it was just mis-scanned. It's at least a couple hours late for UPS here, and the map shows the truck, which had drawn somewhat closer, rather suddenly headed in the wrong direction and some distance away. At least I haven't gotten a delivery notice yet, I reassure myself, as that would mean it's been dropped off at someone else's house, then sure enough it pops up with no sign of a truck on our road as "delivered at front door". Oh crap, methinks, but sure enough, there it is, mysteriously on our stoop, just before a quick rainstorm comes through.

Anyway, the knife is as I'd hoped for construction, super-light for a 4" bladed piece, and just exceptionally well-done in every way, save for having a wicked stiff opening detent that makes flipping an index finger piercing experience. It's reminiscent in that way of my ZT0452, though not as bad, that was eye-wateringly resistant to flipping opening when new. That knife did eventually break in and I've gotta figure that this one will too, as I'm otherwise extremely pleased with it.

Beautiful knife. Also , my UPS delivery arrived extremely late yesterday too (9:30 PM). Maybe something is going on with UPS around here. Enjoy your new blade.

What could go wrong in here? Reminds me of some panels in the corn processing plant I worked in years ago. Don't breath hard of something would go wrong.

Nice carry setup. Love the title of the boox

Just came home from epic hike.

Looks like a great place to hike, camp and relax

Today the day started at dawn.

I went fishing with my daughter.

The first fish was behind her.

Then I caught up.

The result of three hours of fishing.

As I was packing up the boat and gear, my daughter checked her life jacket.

Looks like a great day and a lot of memories made

Little weekend road trip.

I love that saps are still a thing beyond pulp novels and black-and-white movies from nearly a century ago. I carry a gun for defense but I knew a guy who worked in a NY office and didn't have the option. He carried an antique sap not unlike the ones pictured above.

That said, here is my EDC shot for this evening. I'm going light and will be outside for a while. With neither my key-ring pry tool nor my Swiss Tool on me, this little Travel Dime will be my bottle-opener and mini-pliers.

Is that #12 in the middle row your new Biryukov? That's one I've almost pulled the trigger on a couple times.

Yes. My first Russian knife.

It’s actually a condensing unit for a freezer on a chain restaurant I’m sure you’ve probably ate at before. Fan motor went out and was changing it. Capacitor was just zip tie to other wires and hanging free air ha
