EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Today in the territory of the former USSR they celebrate the Day of the Archaeologist.
I devoted nine years of my life to this wonderful profession. Dirt, dust, sweat, heat, and a sea of alcohol!
Well, let's not break the tradition! :)

Congrats on surviving all that dirt & alcohol 😂 👏🏼

I keep a C harp in my day bag. I have some nicer ones in my music room. But the daily carry is a Marine Band
 
Having given up my CRKT Piet to my wife's TRUE EDC, I "settled" for the good ol' Mini Grip and Wenger Pocket Tool Chest.

I looked for scales for the Mini Grip yesterday, but all I could find was shady ones from China for $22 or flashy metal ones that I don't like for $90+. (I only paid $75 for the knife!) There are tons of options for Griptilians, but not as much for Mini Grips.

The Wenger shown is one of my favorites. I carry it for awhile, then I get afraid to lose it (as they are collectible now, with Wenger out of business) and switch to something else. It has a nice thin toothpick and a unique tool set. The eyeglass screwdriver and punch are noteworthy, and I like that the scissor spring uses the knife's backspring instead of a cheesy little leaf spring that's easy to bend and get out of alignment.
 
No theme here, just a good chance to EDC my 806-1101 on a light day around the house. This one has uncoated scales and I gave it a bit of a bath to bring out the tan color in the G10's fluted furrows, did a little handle shifting to improve the slightly off centering, and re-lubed the pivot. I was thinking of giving its toothy factory grind a bit of a touch-up, but it's really sharp regardless, so I think I'll leave well-enough alone.
