EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

My dad and I are on our way to another state for a blackjack enduro race this weekend, and the water tank on the toy hauler randomly fell down and was dragging on the road. We had to get under there and screw the mounts back up. The underside liner was so mangled I had to cut it loose with my knife and had to lay under that trailer just a few feet from the highway while cutting that stuff which was kinda exciting. So we don’t have any water other than a 5 gallon jug but we’re back on the road and it’s all good. A100 did nicely.

Sneaky Saturday with a Vallotton 1995 Soldier of Fortune Show D/A, this year had a super cool "On/Off" function to disable the spring🤯

I met Butch thru my old friend, now gone, Chuck Karman, gun and knife writer, at the Oregon Knife Collector Show. Butch was a genius at converting or making automatic knives. RIP. John

Many thanks! It's silly how much I'm diggin' this thing. I didn't expect to carry it often, but it actually makes a nice little around the house on a lazy weekend knife. I'm such a nerd that I was already opening all the wine with SAK's anyway, so I figured might as well get the one purpose built for the task. I may tinker around and look into customizing it at some point, it appears as if the one handed opening blade with the hole from other models in the range could fit 🤔

You can also take it to the next level and hang a pocket clip on it. 😉

Kettleman Kettleman , I should offer you my congrats on picking up that KnifeArt Inkosi and gave you a 😍 reaction. Honestly, though, if there was green-eyed emoji I would have chosen that as I'm more than a little jealous. I've been more than a little disappointed in the discontinuances of CRKs lines of exclusives for both KnifeArt and Wilson Combat. I'm glad I at least have my KA large 21 and both a large WC StarTac and Starbenza 25, but would love to have an Inkosi in either one or both versions.

Anyway, I carried the Starbenza today as I wanted another all-metal knife as I was putting a third coat of urethane on my handrail and wanted to be sure of easy and complete handle clean-up should the unfortunate occur. One of the things I really like about the WC CRKs is the way that snail trails are almost entirely confined to the flats of the handle slabs with the flutes untouched, lending a mottled, almost stonewashed appearance to the original sandblasted finish.

This knife was someone's safe queen when it arrived, but it went right into my pocket on the job site that day and has remained among my work users ever since. This is also the freest, most flickable CRK from the get-go that I've experienced and is the only one of mine (save my one drawer queen) that has never been apart.

Thank you for kind words my friend! I’ve always admired your WC 25, what a beautiful knife. I like it more then the Star-tac which I’ve owned a few.
As for this inkosi, I really lucked out! I like to go thru the exchange to keep track of the market before everyone deletes the selling price and there she was! I owned one in the spring and let it go and regretted it badly.

Be Well,
Clay
