EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Yesterday was the first day where I sensed that spring is coming right around the corner. It just had that feeling in the air outside. I can't wait until the shoots start popping out of the ground and all the trees start getting their new light green growth. That's my favorite time of the year I think.

Getting closer to ditching the pajamas and robe, rehab is a coming. At least I’ll be ready for the spring and all that comes with it🤗View attachment 2793098

We go to town only when necessary, but pajamas seem to be the new fashion trend. And here I thought that the jeans, t-shirts & flannel shirts that I've been wearing for the last 70-some years would never go out of style. But what the heck do I know! My fashion headquarters is Tractor Supply & nobody has ever come up to me seeking fashion advice.:)

I added these 5" Knipex to the edc last week & they've come in handy several times.

Nice score! Love the patterned milling and the Arius is just so well made! I was too blown away when I finally got one in hand. I would put it at the top of my collection as maybe the nicest folder over my Shiros, Hinderers, CRKs, and up there with Holt. So many details and all executed to perfection! Love the tall deep hollow grind, the insane action and detent, and the design is just good looking. Mine was made 1/2022 in m390, gen 4 batch 7 so very close to yours. Been thinking about a mini also since they came out. Anyway congrats on a fantastic blade it’s definitely one everyone should experience!

Thanks, Edge! I don't think I have any folder that better combines F&F with action and excellent, unique design. I have significant numbers each of various RHKs, CRKs, Shiro's, and Cheburkovs which I count amongst my very best knives, and each of those makers' works has its own particular design language and attributes. I certainly put this new-to-me Arius right up there with those knives, but I don't generally rank one against the other--I just enjoy each for what it is and appreciate a piece for what it is and don't dwell on what's better about one than another.

Still, as we've both mentioned. this Koenig knife just blew me away from the initial flip to dropping shut. Back in 2019 I almost traded away a cherished CRK drawer queen for one, but my wife talked me out of it and I'm glad to still have that Bocote 21. Still I've been ogling Arius variations since before that, including BigKurtHaze's gorgeous knife, and lots of them on the Exchange until I finally found this one with the features I wanted at a great price.

BTW, it's cool that our knives' birthdays are close and I'm glad to have a Gen4 too. I can see where Gen and Batch are inscribed inside my knife, but can't for the life of me read it, so I really don't know my batch #. Here's a few more pics from NKD, but the Arius will sure be with me again today and I'll probably get some more snaps later.
