EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Yep, I can usually deal with the heat but being drenched in sweat the moment you step outside just sucks. The ground here is still soaking wet from the storm, so it’s like a humidity double-whammy. I should probably give a shout out and thanks to all the hvac techs and electricians that keep the indoors cool.

Speaking of cool, great pairing and cool shot. I’m intrigued by the offerings from Rosecraft, I hear a lot of good things.
While they hold probably very little interest or value to truly hardcore traditional collectors, since they’re made with modern CNC methods and, sadly, their current country of manufacture, they really are well put together and I think they’re a great option at the ~$50 (sometimes sub) mark for those unwilling to hunt for or obtain the coveted, truly traditional brands. I have several now, and each has been great.

I love my many Cases and other heritage brands, and the few GECs I have, and definitely prefer to buy American, but as we all know, Case can be a roll of the dice with fit and finish (though I think they’ve been better recently) and GECs can be cost prohibitive, if you can even find what you want available. Plus, I have no patience or desire to stalk dealer drops.

These are accessible, don’t break the bank, and so far the ones I’ve received have been perfectly or darn near perfectly made. This one (the Otter Creek barlow) is my favorite so far, with the Loosahatchee jack a very close second, but none have been disappointing.
 
Carried the Case until I opened the mail and this Buck was waiting for me

Well today sure didn't go as planned. I was getting ready to go install the awning mount standoffs for my client and headed downstairs to bend a little flashing I might need in the sheetmetal shop only to find the basement floor largely covered with water. I thought at first the dehumidifier's full-tank shutoff had failed but found instead that our 11 year old water heater had let go. It took a while to get the flow to stop and we've spent most of the day moving stuff around and mopping up. My plumber's on vacation, but I managed to get ahold of his main guy and he'll install a new unit in the morning.

I'd already grabbed a favorite work knife for what I thought was a day in the field, but it came in handy slaying a couple big boxes that were still dry, but in the way of moving stuff to high and dry locations in the basement. There's really not any knife better for breaking down cardboard than a Sebenza and my large 21 CF fit the bill nicely.

Any lock stick on 21’s?
 
And it's Friday! I always forget how awesome this Kershaw RAM is until I pick it up again. This design spent many, many years being one of my all-time favorite knife designs during my last period of knife obsession before coming back here a couple years ago or so. There have been so many amazing knife designs since it came out, however it still remains such a unique design, and if it fits your hand, then it fits like an absolute glove. Thanks again woodysone woodysone for this bad boy back a year or so ago! The G&G Hawk Clip is such a cool and unique design too. I always love seeing what kind of crazy contraptions the Hawk brothers come up with.

I personally never figured out how to use that damn bar above the message box😖
So I use the attach file button below the box and it send me right into my devices files......Pics, vids etc... Easy peasy! Toughest choice is thumbnail or large and that's no choice really😉
That’s what I did as well but it makes the image small. Is there a way to make it bigger like in your post?
