EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I'll make this a Throwback Thursday carry as I assume the Military 2 has supplanted its predecessor in the Spyderco catalog, though I also assume there's still plenty of new old stock out there too. This S90V CF frame lock is a sold out Knifeworks exclusive, so it certainly qualifies for throwback status anyway.

I've had a digi-cam Military 2 on pre-order at KC since July with only occasional emails reminding me it's still not in stock. I've thought about cancelling it for a while as I'm not really crazy about that handle finish and was tired of just being in the queue anyway, so I called and did just that this morning. I did see that they have the black G10/S30V in stock but figured I'd wait for the release of something a little more interesting, but looked at the Millie 2 thread here and found out that RC Bladeworks is making scales for it already and I could put together a Nat Micarta version to go with my PM2 CruCarta and Kapara. Though not really exciting, I'm fine with S30V, so now I'm tempted again. Oh, this knife life....

Your definition. In my business "Quality" is "Meeting Customer Expectations".

Welcome.

MCE is always the goal. The highest art of suceeding at it emerges when you're a free lancer or a consultant. Then it can be trying to walk a path that is a cross between an invisible tightrope and a minefield! Customer expectations are best when they're mutually understood and agreed upon. It's the unstated or blurry ones, and those that pop up after a contract is signed, that tend to bite you in the end.

I certainly understand your cheapskate viewpoint and largely share it .

But this here forum is more about enjoyment and pleasure seeking via the "knife hobby" .

Function , performance and even value , is often a concern .

But the primary concern is for entertainment and improved quality of life (fun) .

I have loads of fun - get absolutely giddy! - when I can buy a product like a quality knife for 70% off an obviously inflated MSRP.
I understand how seductive cool gear can be. I've built myself a stupidly fun car back in the days when hot rodding meant building the best you could within an average person's discretionary (broke ass college student) budget, then going out and blowing the doors off the rich dumb kids in their "Daddy bought it for me" ego rides. I still smile when a hot rodder builds an innocent looking car and beats exotic supercars at the track. I'm probably just a remnant of a dying breed.
