EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

LimpCroissant LimpCroissant Happy trails, my man! Looks like a fun trip, always liked the idea of a nice bike ride winding up a mountain! You have tent, sleeping bags, food, fire equipment, but... where knives?! I can't find them in the picture 😂

WValtakis WValtakis Christy Cutter - the manual OTF by and for grandfathers. I absolutely love it though, it is more slick than one would think, smooth movements, not any of that "ck-ck-ck-ck" ratcheting-sound. Just three smooth placements, with a smooth return... Classic knife. Been meaning to carry mine more.

I was going to leave with this stuff, today... I just put the Cruwear to the strop yesterday, and wow! I really tuned the edge up something nice. I haven't carried any kind of Cold Steel XL or PM2 regularly in a while, so it's back to the basics with this kind of carry. Ah... this is really God's country. Back to nature, you know?

😂 The Cruwear/Micarta combination is perfect and very "woodsy", in my opinion. Steel is very stainless for being a tool steel. Good companion to my Explorer, of which I am showing off its screwdriver as part of the scale tools, the magnifying glass (helps me sharpen!) and "De Hook". I love de hook, I just wish the orange peeler was a more popular tool, esp on smaller models.

Hashishiin Hashishiin Haha true and good eye. I was thinking about that after I posted it. It's because I haven't figured out what folder to take yet and my other knives are already packed on the bike. So far I've packed a Leatherman Supertool 300 and a Mora. I wanted to bring a bunch of knives like I would if I were car camping, but I really just don't have much room for anything other than what I actually really need. I'll probably get held up and leave late just for the fact that I can't decide what folder to take. 🤣

My buck purchased 1978.
After being under 7 feet of water during a severe hurricane, this knife sat in a tool box for years. I found it and took months to bring it back to life.View attachment 1917199

Looks like you put a full life into it.

I'm off on a camping trip after lunch up Mt. St. Helens! The last pic shows all the gear I'm packing including enough food to eat plenty for 3 days (two Mt. House dehydrated meals not shown). In my other dry bags I have my tent, sleeping bags, pad, clothes, rain gear, water, and enough tools to do fix most anything that could happen although not comfortably.

Just picked this up from @oldmanwilly (sale went flawlessly btw).

The hype is real. While it's only a day old in my home, I can tell it's gonna create some fun memories.

I broke my dollar limit rule, but I think in this case the quality justifies the cost.

My favorite hunting knife is a CS MH (Taiwan) in CPM-3V, as it's a fantastic alloy for an outdoor knife.

This Carothers is probably gonna take that top spot.
