EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

This one arrived early so it's kicking yesterdays arrival out of my pocket.
I was hesitant to pick this one up due to not knowing the brand but I read good things, the reviews are correct. 👍
Vanax gets crazy sharp with this thin grind. Sharp out of the box, just a quick strop.

I definitely fit into the target category of this book.

As I mentioned when quoting Edgeoflife Edgeoflife 's post yesterday, seeing his wavy fluted TRM Machine flipper did indeed prompt me to pocket my MEFP version of that knife today. It's a big chunk of a thing, analogous in some ways to the SHF's I've lately been enamored of, to my current state of owning 3 full-sized versions, but with a very tactical spanto-style blade with a pronounced swedge just made for poking large holes in things. Despite that configuration it has a a nice hollow grind to its CTS_XHP blade and a sweet convex edge supposedly executed by designer RJ Martin himself.

One of the cool things about this piece is its undulating handle with a bidirectional palm swell both in height and in girth, tapering in thickness from both ends and fattest in the middle at the vertical swell.

Being an open-construction kinda guy, I've considered replacing its full length G10 backspacer with standoffs, but the current set-up with its pronounced jimping both helps with the grip on a somewhat slick handle as well as suiting the overall vibe of the piece.
