EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Moving on from the Shiro-a-thon on another wet and dreary day here on-Cape, we managed to get our cardio laps in mid-day in a light, drizzly rain before the drops got bigger and more frequent. I shot these pics of the Firetac in my trash trailer out front as the knife got progressively wetter. Our long-term re-roofing project has been stalled again by all this wet weather, but the old red cedars do make for a decent photo background.

I just ordered a brass Monster Disk for this knife. I can generally open it OK as is, but have to pause and consider my thumb placement before flicking. I'm hoping that the new disk will make that more of a no-brainer.

Off-topic (imagine that!), I can't resist a bit of showing-off, under the pretense of a public service announcement.

Don't trust these non-contact voltage testers, too much. They're pretty good for verifying that the power is off, but they can be fooled by induction. My workplace has an entire building where you'll see 30 volts, on any connections, because we have cables for 100 HP motors running in the same raceway as the signal cable for our bin radars. It's spooked more than one contractor, and you can waste a lot of time chasing "ghost voltage" because your "sniffer" gave you a false alarm.

It's even better when the government inspector waves his sniffer at a cable, and I have to spend half an hour up a ladder opening connection boxes to show him the wires are disconnected and capped. 😞

Funny you should say that. I must have spent an hour chasing ghost voltage in that particular box.
