EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I did the unthinkable yesterday: I used my prized Endura in 20CV like an average, non-knife-nut person. Which is to say I used it like a fool and paid the price.

I needed to add some weep holes to a tin pot I was using to re-plant my Thai chilies. All I had on me was my Endura, so I stabbed the pot, heard a light crinkling sound, and discovered chips out of the edge. I'm a little surprised at how chippy the steel was, i expected a little rolling, however the damage was 100% my fault. So, until I have time to sharpen out the chips, I chose to carry a different Spyder with a steel renowned for its toughness.

Edit to add: I definitely applied some lateral pressure when I wiggled the blade out of the tin, which is probably responsible for most of the damage. Again, 100% my fault.

I'd be curious to see how it fairs after a good session on some stones. I had a Manix 2 in S110V do that too, but after a new edge was ground in it's been pretty stable. Same deal with a Kershaw Blur in S30V.

Hopefully that will help a bit.

Mechanical Monday blues with this MRX Chief from Rat Worx/Guardian Tactical...this chain drive mechanism really is something else

That's my hope. I've seen Sal Glesser post that he doesn't ascribe to the "burned factory edge" phenomenon, but I'm optimistic that I'll get positive results after one or two good sharpening sessions.

I read that comment too, and while I have no doubt Sal is the content expert, there is certainly some sort of phenomenon that is rectified after a good and thorough sharpening session.

Finally picked one up. Carrying this evening.

How do you like it

 

[pholder]

Haha. So I believe the way it shook out was Benchmade lost, but not totally. It ended up that spyderco couldn't claim rights to a hole, but they do hold a patent in the hole distance from the pivot...or something.

Location of the hole can make all the difference

I'm a sucker for a sweet set of aftermarket Ti scales especially on my Spydies. I found this set for my Sage 5 Lightweight. Bulked it up by over an ounce which only made it better as far as I'm concerned.View attachment 2194835View attachment 2194836

Crazy pattern, looks really good

Had to get a box cutter for work. Carbon razor sharpens nice on white rods and cardboard. One is work approved and the other isn't even though they're close to the same.

If they made them in steel toe I prolly wear them to work

I am back to my Lil’ Native. I tried the Delica and Dragonfly2 and it seems that the Lil’ Native is in the Goldilocks zone. The Dragonfly 2 is just a tad too small and the Delica is too large as an office knife for me.

Haha! I carried the growler a week straight when i first got it which says something considering I normally switch up my EDCs daily. Hope you like it!
