EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I carried the Frieze for no particular reason other than I had a hankering for a Cheburkov this morning and it's been the better part of two months since I had this one alongside. I enjoy all my knives from Alex's workshop, and while this one is maybe a little further down my favorites list of his work, it's still an impressive piece. The handle shape and knurled exterior afford a solid grip. The 3.5 mm blade stock is tall, 110 mm long, FFG, just 0.3 mm TBE, and wicked slicey. For a large, all-Ti handled knife this one's pretty darn light at around 4 5/8 oz due to extensive interior milling. The action is smooth though flipping is more light-switchy than snappy due to a fairly soft detent, though it's OK by me as it's consistently dependable and easy with the right technique.

Not pictured: The Cold Steel Jungle Machete for wood fire prep, and a Cold Steel Shovel for fire management.

Plus the ten other cutting tools in my truck.

Its a sickness...
 
These 2 again today. I am blown away by this TEI. I find myself looking for things to cut with it. The handle is far superior to the HIGO I bought first. The pocket clip, while still bent steel, is not intrusive or uncomfortable during use. The bad part of the TEI clip is that the end doesn’t curve much, so it is harder to clip on thicker pockets like jeans or Carhartts. The blade is sharp, and the action on this one is even better than the HIGO. Very happy with this one.
