EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

This is almost exactly the same photo as yesterday, but the edge has been thinned down to where I want it. Much better. Going this thin on a Sebenza does show how the grind thickens toward the tip on the drop point blade. Edge angle is the same all the way along the edge (or as good as I can do freehand anyway).

Looks very clean. Good work!
 
So nothing sexy to say here but honestly, I’ve whittled it down to a Skeletool CX with a full bit kit. Is is cool? No. Is it practical for me? Quite so. I love blade steels but the 154cm has met my personal needs and is easy to touch up. If I need to break down days of of cardboard I will reach for my Lennox utility with break off blades. The utility of the Skeletool has served me well.
 
This copper handle PM2 is the best PM2 I've handled (pun intended) the copper is very warm and the action is nice and smooth. I'll put on a deep carry clip and this will be a frequent flyer for EDC for sure!

I've had mixed results stropping, sometimes getting a great result and others not so much. I've taken to doing what you guys mentioned and often just use the fines on the Sharpmaker to restore a slightly dulled edge. Usually just a few passes, alternating sides gets things back as they should be.


I've got lots of knives priced new in the mid- to high-hundreds and one 4-figure piece, but I really don't discriminate based on cost and a lot of my favorites are lesser priced Spydies and BMKs. I generally prefer larger knives, so the Endura's a bit more my style, but the Delica is a fine little piece and a great cutter. Following my HAP40/Pakkawood Endura carry yesterday and thoughts of drilling it out for a lanyard, I picked the Delica version from the same Spydie drawer and slipped it IWB of the b-ball shorts I wore today. It's short, thin, and the smooth flat scales make it a great choice for carrying thusly. :thumbsup::cool:

Yeah, mixed results with stropping here too. But I did have great results stropping my Okinfe Rubato 2 in 154CM and micarta, and my CRK Inkosi Knife Art in S35VN tonight. Those were today's two EDC for Monday May 20th.(with the usual Shootout in the weak side left front pocket, and my SAK in cargo pocket)
