EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

A small 31; my ā€œDedicated Travel Knifeā€ā€¦.or ā€œDTKā€ for short.

And hold the phone. Did I just coin a new term?!?? I think I did. I think ā€œDTKā€ is a brand new, 100% original acronym being put into play for the first time ever right here, right now….on page 5217 of this thread…by yours truly, Z Zeroedin

Holy crap! This is huge!

I can see it now; the term will take the knife world by storm. Heck, the concept itself will probably reshape the landscape of the knife industry. ā€œDTKā€ will soon be as common as ā€œEDCā€ā€¦..and makers will be racing to bring ā€œDedicated Travel Knivesā€ to market.

This, my friends, shall be my legacy….my gift to the knife world, my contribution to the industry.

Or maybe, just maybe…..this is a prime example of why one shouldn’t be posting on a ā€œlitā€ Friday night.

This week is about UGLY. Two of my ugliest knives: Kizer Horn in N690 and SRM 9202-GW (imaginative naming there) in D2. Both are imperfect beasts (tricky liner lock on the Kizer and a bronze and teflon washer pairing on the SRM pivot) but with a little maintenance and love they work just fine. I especially like the Wharncliffe on the Kizer. One of my favorite blades among my small collection. But that Micarta is plug ugly LOL.

You're right about the ugly factor here. I wanted to like the Horn but just couldn't do it. The design looks like it should have been longer or something. Still, if that had been a complete cut-out without the recessed billboard and it didn't use the funky detachable flipper tab, I might have been down. The ugly flat for the reversible clip doesn't help either... :(
