EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I've been meaning to give this one a bath for a while as it tends to pick up hand oil and darken after several days' worth of carry. I've found that
Dawn and other surfactants tend to leave the Arizona Ironwood looking flat and bleached out so I used the bathroom bar soap with a medium brush after removing the clip. The wood still looked a little blah but it didn't take much of a rubdown between my hands to bring back a bit of luster and contrast.

I was able to sharpen my Maxamet Para 3 without too much trouble, least from what I recall lol. And being the Curious George I am, decided to try sharpening this one on the same setup (WS Precision Adjust Elite) after breaking down a dozen cardboard boxes — granted it probably didn’t need to be sharpened, but it didn’t feel as sharp as I’ve come to expect Spydercos to be. I was able to get a burr quite easily going really lightly on each pass with diamond stones 220 grit, but as I increased the grit, I wasn’t able to get a burr anymore. I ended up reaching out to a buddy who is much more experienced and sent the knife for him to work his magic on. I’ll use the newly sharpened version to test how long that edge lasts.
