EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

i-ZDRhkZg-X2.jpg
 
For over 30 years I’ve carried a black SAK Nomad in my front pocket. The plastic casing has worn out so I’ve had to replace it once or twice.

And then in the last year I’ve started carrying a new Leatherman in a sheath on my belt. It’s the Leatherman Free P2.

I also added an Emerson knife to my other front pocket.

So I’m carrying 3 these days. Overkill? Yeah, probably. 😇

You say it so nonchalantly, like it's something you just picked up at a garage sale haha. You got one of the most desirable Sebenzas right there. A true classic. The 'Regular' Sebenza. A very nice and highly collectable one. Here's a couple quick threads on it:

Thread 'Regular vs 21 Sebenza Review'

My first Sebenza was a small regular back in the late 90s. Fast forward to this last year and I picked up my first Large 21, and also my first Large Regular. I've been fortunate enough to spend some time with each and here's my thoughts.

Overall Looks. Visually, it's a tradeoff between the Regular and 21. I prefer the scalloping of the Regular to the smooth lines of the 21, but it's mainly aesthetic. While I imagine it's possible to feel the scalloping during extreme heavy repetitive use, I can't tell on casual use. If I was using the knife to cut for hours each day, I might feel a...

Thank you for the information! I'll read through these when I get home and have a larger screen then my phone.

You're not far wrong. I inadvertently ended up with a larger one due to a miscommunication with a lady who had bought it for her dad to take camping. While talking to her over the phone I made the mistake of assuming it would be a fixed blade when I kind of committed myself to helping her.

I got it at a really good price, so I was going to carry it and use it but it was just bigger than what I want to EDC. So I traded it to a friend who does some knife selling and trading for one that was more pocket friendly and already used so I didn't mind using it.

We made the deal sitting in front of his garage...

This Bear and Son 4 3/8" Cowhand made the rounds with me today. I got it for half price. I wasn't really figuring that I would like it, but everyone needs a yellow delrin knife in their collection. I love this knife. It's slim but of substantial feel. Shipped hair shaving sharp, deploys pretty quickly and build quality is very good.

The sky looks ominous.

Getting to the good time of the year, or at least good to me. I am a fall / early winter person. I know losing daylight makes your outside work a little more trying. Stay safe working by flashlight

Yea I love the fall weather. I can handle winter but it just makes everything you do harder. We’re not set up for it down here. Two inches of snow and everything is shut down for a day minimum. If I could have the spring/fall weather year round, with summer daylight 5:30 in the morning until 9:00pm it’d be perfect. Just skip winter all together
 
I didn't do a lot today--had a long conversation with my forester updating him on settling our timber trespass, got my wife's truck back from the shop, and picked up the mail and a couple packages (no knives 😞). It was a good day to carry my nudist Scout with its polished Zladinox Dama blade, though its great reflectivity poses quite the trash-filling photographic challenge.

This little bandit came out this afternoon after he spotted me putting out food for the birds (I saw him at the neighbors looking at me just before this). He was munching on the peanuts I put out for the crows when I went out there to get a few pics of him. He ran off when I got too close, but then after I talked to him for a second, he actually started walking right up towards me. He was about 7 feet away when I decided to try to get a knife pic with him in the background, but he didn't like the sound of the Sebenza action opening and then finally took off up a tree.
