EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Okay, back on topic on a Throwback Thursday with my BMK 550. That model's 154CM hollow-ground blade is no longer available, having been replaced by the flat-ground S30V that's in current production.

I've also replaced the stock Noryl scales on the knife with these Wilkins G11 slabs and milled, anodized aluminum back-spacer. Unfortunately Kevin is no longer producing his excellent replacements, variations of which adorn this and three others of my 6 Griptilians.

Friday’s carry posted early :)
I did an ungodly thing 😱 and flipped the clip on the Military 2 to tip up . Why you say ? Even though most folks including Spyderco say tip down is the way to go on the military because of the size and the position of your thumb is right there on deployment and I agree 100% . But here’s my dilemma and reasoning for going tip up. After multiple times trying to deploy the military tip down even though your thumb is right there by the spydie hole. About 50 percent of the time because of muscle memory I kept fumbling it and reaching for the spydie hole on the other end like on all my other spydies tip up. I’ve been doing that for many years and my muscle memory keeps glitching and reverting back to tip up . Now can I get use to tip down and retrain my muscle Memory? Absolutely but then what happens when I go back to 99% of my tip up knives then I’ll be jacked up again lol. I mean if when and if ever the shit hits the fan I’m probably not going to be grabbing something below my waste anyway😆 but something on my waste instead. Regardless Less thinking the better and muscle memory is the way to go less to think about also it’s way more comfortable the way the clip Hits my hand in both hands and how my fingers rest on the scales/clip. And just to be even more of a rebel I ordered a DP Lynch clip for it lol.
Well sorry for the long winded most post but my guilt felt it need be a necessity🤪
