EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

This one has been in my pocket for a while. Even the edge out of the factory has been holding up amazingly well. I have yet to sharpen this knife after several months of carry.

I was gonna do wood today, but as I've been a bit displeased with my recent attempts to relieve the darkening of my holey Desert Ironwood 710-1401, I avoided that scale material altogether and made this a Wilkins Wednesday instead. It's actually a double-W knife with both Kevin's scales and his hand-ground replacement blade. This one was earlier a WWW with a Wilkins clip as well, but I decided to provide a bit more contrast by subbing a BMK black oxide split arrow for the polished deep carry. That clip now resides on a set of empty Wilkins flamed Ti scales that has sat that way for a while and whose fate is still undecided. I'm reluctant to sell them as Kevin stopped making his scales a while ago, but I don't know that I reallly need a seventh Griptilian either. More First World problems, eh....

Aside from the fully transformative nature of Wilkins Grips--feel in hand, heft, and audible change--something I like a lot is they feature perhaps one of my favorite sorts of rear scale joinery, a short butt-spacer with integral lanyard attachment.

Yes, but he had so many random fishing related odds and ends when he passed it was hard figuring out what to do with some of them. No one in my family is into fishing. I gave away a lot of his stuff but held on to some of the nostalgic stuff, like a tackle box full of my great-grandfather's lures, many handmade by him.
