EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

For someone who's a self-professed bigger folder guy, I've been flirting quite a bit with smaller and/or lighter knives lately. I think that's somewhat due to the warmer weather--not real hot, but muggy here on Cape--which has me hanging out more in b-ball shorts for coolness and comfort. I haven't taken on much of any work lately either, so the longer, heftier blades I generally prefer in the shops or on job sites have been carried less frequently.

Today I went with my BMK 707 Sequel, the successor to the 705, companion to the much-loved 710. This one's been modded with D.O.A.T. CF scales and weighs in at 2.375 oz. It's just a little smaller than the Strizh, but a taste heavier due to its full, though skeletonized liners. While the Strizh gives me a more solid three-and-a-half finger grip, the Sequel leaves my pinky with nothing to do, making this one more of a light EDC than a knife for serious work. Still, it's a nice little piece that will handle everyday cutting tasks and is an easy carry IWB in light, pocketless shorts.

Finally settling into the new pad, a felling cemented with some Sunday morning listening on vintage Hi-Fi

Nice, enjoy your new pad! I too just moved into a new abode, and it was just built and I am the first one to live in it.
 
Been doing lots of riding, weather has been on the humid side (for here) and warm, mid 80s to mid 90s. Finally getting back to doing the amount of bike riding I like, over 80 miles this week. MagnaCut Native has been drenched in sweat for several hours while riding, so far seems to be living up to the Salt designation.

Many thanks! You know it my friend. I was working on renovations right up until the day before we moved and just barely got it move in ready in time. I still have to do the trim-work, and plenty of other projects to finish, not to mention unpacking and organizing. It never ends, but honestly I kinda like it. My favorite part is that now I'll finally have some time to get out in the mountains 👍
 
Getting ready for menacing Monday. I'm picking someone up at O'Hare, and it's such a pain for both driver and the person flying in so instead of getting bitched at by the cops who give you 30 seconds to pick up/load luggage before they threaten you I just park, walk in the underground tunnel, and meet them at baggage claim. It's $3 to park, very much worth it since flying is stressful enough. However, there are sketchy people in that underground and since I can't carry a gun there, this is the next best thing.
