EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[kfalk]

A pre pocket clip Pro-Tech runt. Probably 20-22 years old.

I haven't really had much carry today as I spent most of it wearing what I slept in, re-doing the temporary fix to our tub/shower walls which had gotten pretty grody. Removing the the bottom course of tiles, replacing the substrate, and re-tiling is something I've managed to put off for far too long. My middle son and fam are here from the Left Coast, staying nearby but without a tub, and my grandson will need a bath, so I got things considerably cleaned up for them.

I used the shower myself when done, finally got dressed, and made it an M390 MILK Monday when I had a real pocket to clip into.

Thanks! It is an “Essential”. And yes it does work well as a small edc. Nice four finger grip and enough blade to do standard edc tasks.

Very similar size to my Barkie

Last night I cut up 7 large cabinet boxes into small pieces. The governor performed very well and only required a light stropping when finished. Overall very impressive. Switching to the frag pattern 0562 today.

Not too shabby for a factory edge. Remember that factory edges are usually the bottom and performance tends to pick up as you sharpen into fresh steel.

As Edgeoflife commented, the Governor is a good but generally underrated or overlooked knife. I have a slightly modified version in their 9Cr/10Cr Damascus. While not expensive, I tend to view that steel as "fancy carry" material so it doesn't come out much. I've got too many thumb studs in rotation but maybe this will be a good motivator come Thumb Stud Thursday.

I'm sure you are right about the factory edges. It held up better than I thought it would. It is a nice thin grind, but seems to be sharpened at around 20 degrees. When I eventually have to sharpen it, I think it would be even better around 17 degrees...I'll let you know when the time comes!

I decided to a pocket dump of all my pockets right here and now, to see what I've got. Normally never carry more than 3 knives, and 1 is always an SAK or Leatherman type knife, but I've been playing with 2 new ones this week. Back pocket knife is usually always my "dirty and hardworking knife", as is the SAK, and the other one(s) for clean or delicate work.

Left back pocket - Wallet
Left front pocket - Spartan Pallas in sheath with iPhone 14 Pro Max (in hand)
Left belt clip - Rental car keys (car key, bottle opener, Spyderco Manbug, Rovivon flashlight, Pepper spray, mailbox key, frosty discount
Right front pocket - S&W 360PD w/laser in DeSantis nemesis (my P365 sits in a Remora)
Right front inner hidden zipper pocket - Buck 841, cash, pen and comb (long deep pocket)
Right leg pocket - AirPods Pro, Mask, Hand sanitizer, Streamlight, lighter, SAK Warhawk
Right back pocket - Benchmade Shootout, coins (too lazy to remove), reloads on speed strips

Left my tracker tags on my own keys with car in the shop. Lost my lighter and got Dessert Warrior lighters with windproof butane inserts for me and my son's Xmas, so not unboxed yet. Don't smoke, but sometimes need fire. Still planning to incorporate my new prybar in place of cap lifter since SAK has one.

Very similar size to my Barkie

Remarkably similar. I had never compared them directly before. Although the PSK (top knife) appears to be shorter in the picture, it is ever so slightly longer than the Essential (bottom knife).

Such a great knife. I feel like it's underrated around here
