To avoid confusion I have decided to only carry my favorite knife until a pic solution is offered.

2004 Large Sebenza Classic MM is now my official EDC.

That is all.

Ditto for the Knife Art Inkosi you sold me, as it seems to always be with the others in my pockets. I'm going to miss it when that Magnacut blade arrives, but it sounds like CRK wants to make sure they fit it properly to the knife the first time.

Okay, I'll post a pic...

I got a bit side-tracked today as I had to do hip roof calcs to get some of the angles needed for my little copper pent roof job. As I've gotten deeper into the retired part of semi-retired and have pretty much given up the carpentry side of things, it's been a while since I've cut a complex roof. I'd taught myself how to do all the geometry and trig needed, but I was pretty rusty, so I figured to build a bit of a template/trial model of an 8/12 pitch 90 degree hip with all the angles and bevels accurately cut to confirm the bends I'd need in the copper. That led me to fine-tuning my slide/compound saw which had wandered a bit off true which ended up taking way longer than I'd hoped as the instructions were little or no real help. Here's today's carry, my calcs, a downloaded table that turned out to be for a 135 degree case, and the instructions for my Makita...

...and an angle pattern I made on my chop saw to work with truing the slider along with the back tensioning handle that ended up hitting the saw's back leg when making compound cuts and had to be removed.

The two-sided model with an appropriately angled pattern to prove the 8/12 pitch...

...and the same, but with one side lifted off to expose the double bevelled hip rafter supporting the "roof decking"...

...and no, that's not a space under the remaining piece, but a layer of Linex as the scrap was from a flat roof job from some years back that had the decking pre-sprayed as a bonding primer. And yes, today's work carry does have another side. 😏
