EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

As often happens lately, I stayed in the same knife storage tier for today's carry while putting away yesterday's, this time grabbing another Wilkins Grip. My 550 HG wears what Kevin describes as Coyote G11, though it's a color that presents quite variably depending on the lighting. Sometimes the scales have a sort of greenish hue, sometimes sorta beige-y, though they never really look like what I would consider Coyote.

Today I was over in the woodshop cleaning up my old Milwaukee SawzAll, its box, and blades which had suffered from the effects of that truck-box leak. Working under the overhead LEDs there, the 550's scales looked and photo'd positively yellow. G11 has an interesting translucence, a very nice feel in hand, and I'm glad I picked these up out of Kevin's remaindered stock.

Edit: doing a quick internet search just after posting the above, I read that G11 is somewhat less strong than G10, but is a better insulator and can withstand higher temps. It also was described having a natural yellow, green, tan color, which is definitely what these babies are.
