EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Nasty looking wasp there. Kill it, stab it, burn it with a flamethrower and drop an anvil on it. Those suckers are really bad here in GA in the summer.
That is a Cicada Killer Wasp. They are huge. One of them stung my dog and it nearly killed him. For the most part I’m a live and let live kinda guy, but my dog takes precedence.
I lived in Columbus for 5 or 6 years. The thing that gave me the willy’s was those giant black grasshoppers. Creepy. 😳

I hate it stung your dog.
I did not know it had a wasp variant as well. We have cicada hornets. I encountered one last year and this one was as big as the famed murder hornet.
 
I'd never participated in a time-sensitive drop before, but have kept an eye out for another Les George for a long time and figured I'd take a shot at the DLT release of the VECP Morph button lock as it seems a good mid-size and I like milled all Ti knives a lot. As the drop was today, this made it a Want it Wednesday.

I had my Les George Eagle out for support and luck while I watched the counter go down on the product page, making this a Wilson Combat Wednesday too.

I was all ready to score my new knife--signed in, made sure my payment info and address was correct, and was sitting on the counter. The second "add to cart" showed, I clicked through all the screens, hit submit, and the knives were gone. Couldn't have taken me a minute. What a Wednesday Waste.

I'd lubed the Eagle's Teflon-washered pivot with TriFlow, added a little FinishLine to the detent ball, and slab shifted to improve centering the night before without garnering any improvement, though that work did add a little click to the lock release. :confused: I've always really loved this knife, but it's always been a little fussy and not the greatest flipper. After whiffing on the VECP, I untied the Eagle's lanyard, gave it a thorough cleaning, carefully re-lubed, re-assembled, re-shifted the handle slabs, and re-tied the lanyard. The centering is dead-on and the knife is now super smooth and flips lightly, free and easy--better than it ever has. It's almost like having a new knife--a favorite that's even better--and I still have my 450 bucks. What a Wow Wednesday!
