EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I was planning to clear all the wood from the 40 foot double Y we took off the tree yesterday and at least prep for dropping the rest today, which is about a 60-footer but now largely a single stem with a high, depleted Y for a crown. I ended up getting side-tracked though, working on my wife's little battery-powered chain saw which was pretty gummed up and dreadfully dull. After cleaning, it took about 8 strokes per tooth to get it right plus a couple swipes per raker. I did use it after to section up most of what we'd dropped which comprised around 50% of the tree above 15 feet. The rest of that already dropped will require one of my Jonsereds as there's a fair amount of decent sized, split-able firewood there.

I pocketed my XM18 Dragon today in anticipation of needing a stout work knife, though I mostly used it in the shop for light duty while working on saws.

As I went through my wife's little B&D I did a double-take realizing that the mid-sized knife I carried was bigger than the saw's bar...

...though it's smaller than the 14-incher on the pole pruner and certainly dwarfed by the overall size of that machine.
