EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

After including this one in pics for comparison's sake alongside yesterday's main carry, I had it with me solo IWB in b-ball shorts today.
BMK 94(3)-1 Franken.

I do like carbon fiber a lot and, alongside examples from Shirogorov and Cheburkov, Benchmade CF is some of the best around. Aside from its good looks, this one has a texture to it that makes for a really solid grip in hand.

I'm going to need something like this for my REK Benchmade 940 re-blade that I have pre-ordered, as I don't have a 940 yet (just a 9400) 😂

I did a quick search and there seem to be lots of aftermarket scales available from a bunch of makers, but you'll need a 940 for the guts anyway. This one of mine is a stock 943 S30V. blade in a Benchmade 940-1 handle that I found as is on the Exchange. I had bought a 940-1(S90V) earlier but wasn't really a big fan of the blade shape and found BMK's version of that steel to be kinda chippy. Once I got the Franken I sold the stock 940-1 in fairly short order. Josh's re-blade is pretty cool. The 940-1 and the G10 940-2 both seem to be still be in production and maybe you can find one on the secondary market so you don't have to shell out full price for a new one. I don't imagine you want to put that sweet blade in the stock green aluminum handle.

Yeah, I've PM'd someone about some etched Ti scales here (but OEM CF I like more than aftermarket), and I would pick up a basic 940-something for the guts, and upgrade with scales and blade.
