EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I spent the weekend replacing the wheel cylinders, drums, springs, and brake shoes on my Jeep's rear drum brakes. This is the second time I've done drum brakes and they are a pain in the ass unless you have some good experience with them! The first one took way too long just because this one stupid piece wouldn't stay in place. The second one went real nice and smooth though! Just got to adjust them and the E brake, flush the brake fluid, and I'm back on the road! Have a good day fellas/felletes!

Oh, by the way I used the old school USA made Gerber to bend the hooks on the springs a little more closed, those springs are really strong and it takes a lot of force, but the ol' Gerber did it beautifully! I had 4 other regular sets of pliers with me, but the Gerber actually fit the job best the way the plier jaws are configured. 👌

Micarta Monday. This knife has been in a drawer for almost two years. It had cheap knockoff GITD Punisher canvas micarta scales that had cracked and cut into my hand. One of the screws had cross threaded and I ended up using a punch and hammer to get the screw out of the standoff.

It now sports green linen micarta scales with full titanium hardware. I need to clean the blade and sharpen a chip out that I'm not sure how it happened.

Edit. I need to clean my desk too!
