EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Carrying the one on the right that I just received yesterday. Apparently not so many fans of the Redoubt, or even Benchmade for that matter, but I’m a big fan of these. Great action, no issues with the steel after a year or so and relatively lightweight.

I dug around through my knife drawers this morning until I came across something that piqued my interest and settled on the Wilson Combat Large 25 Starbenza. This one's the smoothest of the smooth and freest of any of my fairly large accumulation of CRKs and was that way from the git-go. I may not have even had this one apart in all the years since I acquired it.

The only downside of carrying the knife is it makes me miss our absent friend Kettleman Kettleman who withdrew from our numbers a while back. 😞 He and I often shared our appreciation for both 25's and WC CRKs.

I agree on missing Mr. Kettleman. He and I discussed CRK blades, guns and the like.
Nice knife

Yeah, Clays's a good dude and it was fun having him around. I keep hoping he'll pop back up on these pages like he did after a previous hiatus. Thanks for the kind words on the knife--it's most def one of my favorites. :D

Yes he is. Looks like he was banned.
I can see why it is a favorite.
I wish I would have learned of CRK knives years ago. I would most only have a couple knives if that had been the case.

It doesn't seem that he was actually banned--that's just what he added as a Custom Title in place of displaying his membership level. I've seen a few others who have dropped out--and some who are still active, for that matter--use "BANNED" in a similar manner. He's not on the banned list.

This is correct. Clay “self-banned.” I do miss him as well
