EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Back in the shop just to admire my work :)
 
First Fuente Friday of 2025 and carrying a couple of David Chen designs. The PF818 is practically a modern classic and the new TS519 is a great partner. It has some nice ergonomic touches that really make the smaller handle and larger blade work together. It's also 14C28N, which I love in both budget knives and fixed blades in general.

The TS519 was almost a contender for production fixed blade of the year but aside from getting it with just a couple of days left in the year, there is one issue holding it back. While getting a full grip on the draw is awesome, the fine heel of that blade is right on my finger. I haven't had any issues but I am conscious of it, so I'll probably do a safety mod.
