EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I've had a hard time putting this one down since it arrived, mostly because it like it so well, but also as I've been working to break in what was initially its super-stiff flipping action. I did a second quick disassembly a few days back to re-fill the detent hole with fluoro grease and since then will take it out of drawer or pick it up if it's not on me and give it a few flips just to work it in. So far, it seems to have gotten progressively easier since that last application and just requires a little load up to get it to open with a very authoritative and audibly pleasing thwock!...

...and, as it is Carbon Fiber Foreign Flipper Friday....

I have a hard time not abandoning all my other knives to just carry my Strizh. As far as the action goes, I found cleaning the bearings/housing out of the black grease and replacing it with an oil vastly improved the action.
