EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

We’ll see how my Packers do against the Patriots Friday. Their second string QB Sean Clifford is looking much better than the starter, Jordan Love.

CRKT Piet for tomorrow. I love everything about this knife except the blade steel. CRKT ruins so many good designs by limiting them to 8Cr. The back spacer had sharp edges, which I rounded off and wrecked the anodizing in the process. Good thing It’s a $20 knife!

Oh well, I guess it’s just my light use knife. I’ve been playing frisbee and baseball with my daughter with it clipped inside my waistband. I’ll carry it tomorrow.

Nice rainy day here--steady and not too heavy, so it'll soak in and not run off. I took my cardio over at the home gym amidst the b-ball and general storage, getting a few knife pics there mid-day and more later in the roofing demo after the rain let up.

I had the Monterey Bay, Gerry McGinnis designed Sprocket IWB today. It's a nice enough mid-sized knife, well designed with premium materials--M390, TI, CF, ceramic detent and bearings(?)-- and really not lacking in the F&F or action departments. While MBK's intent was to supply a mid-tech feel at closer to budget pricing, the knife just strikes me as a bit meh, lacking in any pizazz, unlike some of the other mid-tech-line knives from custom makers that I've acquired from McGinnis, Southard, or RJ Martin, for example. Of course those do come at a greater premium and had the hands of those makers on them for at least part, if not most, of their builds. Still, I've kept this one in the accumulation and rotation for some time and it makes for a decent, light mid-sized carry.
