EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

When I was looking everwhere for my case xx select and I finally found it 😆

I'd picked out my 0452 to carry today as it's been quite some time since I've pocketed that one. I like the design and shape as it's very much a Russian/ZT hybrid and it's length is very much up my alley. Handling it at first, I immediately recalled that it gives me more than a little trouble in closing given my old, beat-up, arthritic carpenter's mitts. I've developed the habit of slipping my pinkie to the show-side of any frame or liner lock which gives me a better angle and leverage on the lockbar. Still, the 0452 takes a few practice closings to get my muscle memory right anytime I carry it.

As I was just a little annoyed initially as well as being a bit suggestible, I moved up a drawer and grabbed my Cruwear full-size Adamas too as I'd looked at a thread about those knives earlier. I ended up with both, either by my side or each rather fully occupying a separate pocket as we spent the day on and off with our company who spent their day partly hanging out with us or off knocking around the Cape. I sure wasn't lacking for blades, carrying two large knives that have not a lot in common other than their size.

I really like my CRK's and 3 Rivers knives but the AB iMamba has got to be one of my favorite folders. I know RWL34 isn't the "premium steel"many are looking for these days but it's easy to get a very sharp edge and is easy to maintain. The polished blade isn't gonna hid any scratches but screw it, it is a tool and doesn't need to be pretty.
