EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Ed G said:
Thanks!
Hey Tony, sorry for delayed response, been under the weather …
The watch is a Citizen Aqualand, the “fuel gauge” is exactly that - a battery level indicator (it’s an Eco-drive; battery charges with exposure to light).
The buttons on the left side (top and bottom) control secondary functions; chronograph and depth readings. The center one is actually a depth sensor. The actual crown is on the right side at the 4 o’clock position.
It’s a great watch, I am a fan of the Citizen Eco-drives, but be careful … watches, like knives, are a slippery slope … 🙄

Cool, thanks for the explanation, I don’t know much about watches, but I have heard they are as addictive as knives lol
PS: I hope youre feeling better soon
 
Evening walk with the dog.

Trip to San Francisco for Christmas was my first one anywhere since COVID started...so of course I got COVID for the first time. That's after my wife had it a couple weeks ago and I somehow managed to dodge it then.

So the "house EDC" is sweats, tissues, dog, and a front flipper skinny mod s110v Para 3 abomination for mindless flicking and flipping. The front flipper works but needs a little wrist movement to deploy fully.

Is that middle knife a Kershaw link? I need a torsion bar for one of them. But mine's old I wonder if they're the same size?

I would email thier warranty/parts request form to customer service for your Kershaw link. They are great and probably send you out a new bar at no charge. I had great luck with them getting parts for a blur.

Still rocking my Delica now on day 30 of carry. Here it is with the long board I received for Christmas. Maybe i can keep up with my daughter on her scooter now.

Also just received my GP knives Rex 45 Native 5. I had one before and quickly moved it along but after enjoying my Delica so much decided to revisit it. It feels great this time around.... Go figure!

Blue and copper seem to be a problem for cameras. Maybe if you've got really serious photography equipment. I wouldn't know, and I refuse to toss myself down yet another "gadgets and gear" rabbit hole!

Light has a huge effect on photos, and you might have already found that. Obviously, sunlight is the standard, but it's not always possible. My experience has been having a light source behind me, and a light source off to one side, works pretty well. It helps if one of those lights is a little "whiter" than the other, but it doesn't seem to matter which is which.

Back ground color makes a difference, too. I can show you two pictures of the same knife, and the scales will look much darker because of the background.

For this light blue, try a white background, a very light tan/khaki, or a light gray. Avoid any strong, primary colors, which will "wash out" subtle blues.

If you go for the khaki background, you may have to play with your focus. Camera phones seem optimized for taking selfies. So, they sometimes interpret tan or light brown background as "skin tone", leaving you with photos where the background is in perfect focus, and your knife, in the foreground, is just a blurry mess. It's a perfect opportunity to remember to keep "first world problems" in... focus...

Thanks so much for your advice. I have enough rabbit holes going myself. Here's another 2 of my blue jean 247 that seem better. Going outside helped.Will keep your advice in mind for future pics.View attachment 2030801View attachment 2030802

Switched it up today for an outing in the bush. (Right tools for the job and all that) Walked a couple miles in a foot + of heavy wet snow. Cleaned up all the fallen trees and branches. Too rainy and wet for the chainsaw, so…

(I need to make a new throat protector for the axe…hmmm)

My legs are burning and I feel a nap calling me. 🤣😂
 
I went with the Kapara today for no other reason than I hardly ever carry it and was looking for something different to pocket. It's a very decent mid-sized knife, solid enough in hand despite a certain slickness, plenty slicey with thinnish blade stock in S30V, is possessed of typically excellent Taichung F&F, and its CF scales are nicely done. I've always liked Spydie's compression lock and wire clip too. I might have sold it off a while back after giving it a few carries back when, but my wife thought it was pretty sweet, and I don't mind keeping it in the accumulation and giving it a turn once in a while.
