EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

These SpyderCo knives are straight up work horses!!
This Delica, also in VG-10 has been sharpened, re-profiled x (3), and kept sharp AF by me for a friend of my bride for quite sometime now. It's the only folding knife they have and it's used daily!

Another set of kiss'n cousins. CRK in S45VN and AB in RWL-34. They definitely like each other.

I'm definitely with you on the familial relationship, but I think of the AB as more of an adopted little brother than a cousin by blood. Those of you who yearned for a mid-sized CRK may think of it as a middle brother, but, being more of a large knife guy, I think of the small Inkosi's and Sebenza's as baby brothers. I do keep the Bernard brothers' knife with my Reeves on the right side of my American mid-tech drawer--the SA roots giving those a tie-in despite differing countries of manufacture--and you can see all of my 10 CRK larges in their slips there with the Minandi lurking in the upper left corner.

Anyway, yesterday was an iMamba day and I got a lotta pics, which I can bank, despite neglecting to post here.

This is still my favorite ZT EDC. I think if it would have had a non-proprietary pivot with more scale options, it would have been more successful for them. As it is, I love it. I have the pivot tool and it works great, and there's zero chance of stripping anything. It's slicey AF, fits my hand like a glove, and carries like a Bugout - always going to be a go-to for me.

I like the pivot.
The tool was like $20 or something, back in the day.
I understand there are ZT folks committed to 0560’s and 0600’s (mmmmm sweeeet) and a slimmed down EDC isn’t their thing. But I never understood the backlash about the pivot hardware. RHK has been doing proprietary pivots forever, and there’s plenty of others that get a pass for nonstandard hardware.
