EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Yeah, I know where you're at about having hard time setting the SERE aside--just too much old school goodness there.

The fasteners are a little bit challenging, starting with the pivot which takes a 2.5 mm hex bit (my Wiha curiously marked SW 2.5, not with the more standard M). Once I'd identified that, suspecting it was metric due to its Japanese manufacture, I had to order a set of micro-bits for the microscopic scale screws as I had nothing below 1.5 mm. I definitely needed a magnifying glass to even confirm the socket shape. Those little babies are 1.3's, the 5-piece, short-handled set I ordered coming 2 down to 0.7 mm. The tiny Phillips clip screws got my Wiha Precision slotted/Phillips set out and, while I originally used a PH0, I find its more common PH1 a more positive fit, though I suspect that one, more closely machined and less worn, would be better than those that have been been banging around in my toolboxes and bags.

Well, as long as I got it out to check I might as well carry it today. 😏

TheFactor TheFactor , I replied to your earlier post yesterday with a description of the SERE's various fasteners. Just click the link, my man. ;)

Edit: That's assuming your knife and mine have the same hardware, as they may be different vintages.

Thanks again brother-man 😆! I went back a few pages on notifications and didn’t see your reply. This thread moves like wild fire !!
Edit: ChazzyP ChazzyP just ordered a set I’m pretty sure we have the same hardware. I was going to just get the 1.3 and 2.5 but for about 10 dollars more I got the set

0.7, 0.9, 1.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0mm​

Don’t know what I’ll use the others for but you never know and at least I’ll have them. I had a 2.5 in a cheaper set and it was the only one missing lol of course. But figured this Al mar more then deserves wihia no doubt . No adjustment is needed now. It’s smooth as glass with no play and with a couple of light shakes she drops. The perfect detent for my preference anyway. But I’ll be ready now when the time come for adjustment or maintenance 👍🏻👊🏻

Funny how their thought process works. To keep this knife related, my ex- wife is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She actually told me that she was the best thing that ever happened to me. I told her, giving me a divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. Sometimes words cut deep.
