EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I put my name on the "alert when in stock" list on BladeHQ about 6 months ago, and on Tuesday I got the notice. As I fumbled for my credit card and fat fingered it in my iPhone, I fully expected a message when I hit "submit" saying "Sorry no longer in stock" - but somehow the order went through. And today, two days later the man in brown just dropped off this beauty...

So this is what I'm carrying today (starting now).

After carrying the Quantum Ursus NL yesterday, which to me bears only the slightest suggestion of a Persian style blade, I went with the Olamic Swish today which tends more in that direction with an actual initial upsweep to its spine, though it drops off precipitously toward its point.

Dewalt himself made this one for me - it's a special lightweight aluminum framed T/E + PS, I hear Dewalt almost never makes a tanto edge but I guess if a custom maker likes you enough... my DWHT10272 also has the "WLL" system for solid lockup, an older pattern of lock but one that Dewalt is bringing back. Getting into customs is pretty cool.

😁

Oh yeah, and I have that Desert Ironwood Dodo plus my Craftsman mini razor. Kind of cool - functioning thumbstuds and a lock + choil.

I'm always in awe of the color and variety on display every fall here. These are just from my yard.

Wait….you’re telling me there’s a tree…..in your yard…….that dropped THOSE TWO BEAUTIES??!?!

Ok, forget what anyone else has offered, I’ll pay ya’ double…no, eff that…..TRIPLE!! I’ll pay you triple the price for a package of seeds!!

Oh, and by the way…. “DIBS!”

Too late suckas, I called it first!

But on a serious note, that’s a great pic. I’m jealous of you guys up north. Down here in FL we get two colors in fall; leaves are either green…..or just plain dead. I miss autumn/fall more than any other season.

And now I also have a serious hankerin’ for a purple Microtech. Geez that’s sweet.

Haha. That’s actually relatively clean to a lot of them. I’ve seen this particular one twenty times worse than that

Gross. Remodeling/trade work in restaurant kitchens is the worst. I was repairing a septic system all morning and I’d rather be doing that.

Can’t argue any of those statements. I’ve worked in a ton of commercial kitchens and a ton of lift stations and septics, and yea I’ll take the later every time

Very true

The fact that the receptacle is still energized with all that glurdge on it is actually more concerning. Nobody can convince me that this isn't a grease fire waiting to happen.

Worst one I ever saw was under a fryer, it had a compartment that held a pump motor. Entire thing was buried in grease. I’ve had to change relays and the motor itself a few times. Just terrible every time
