EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I can't really say I could improve the design of a master designer like Bastinelli. Maybe I just made it more my own and made modifications to things that personally irritated me. Sorry Bastien :) The "bottle opener" was in my opinion quite unnecessary, so it went. Also the tip in my opinion did not line as well as it could, so I dropped it slightly. I heated the sheath, put the knife in and pressed it in foam (using a 20 kg kettlebell as a weight :D ) and now it has a good retention. I also tuned, with some trial and error the retention with a zip tie, it also gives a brace for thumb to press on when drawing the blade if I carry this in my pocket. The knife sits just a bit deeper in the sheath.
I gound the handle more to my taste and in my opinion it is more comfortable now. I like simple carry systems, IWB and pocket with a statick cord are my favourites. Included is also a picture of the knife in it's original form.
