EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Happy Sunday. Had my big ol' beefy Cold Steel AD10 out yesterday. I love knives with full backspacers. Even though I really don't have to worry about it because I carry my folder in my front right pocket with my 2 phones, the full backspacer keeps small things like keys from hitting the edge and dulling it while in the pocket together.

Then later I took apart my Hinderer Project X to try out the bearings instead of the Skiff thick washers. I love the washer action on it, however I was on the phone for awhile anyway so I figured I'd change them out and see how it feels. Did my usual method of deep cleaning the action area with q-tips/paper towell pieces and rubbing alcohol, and then used a little bit of Hoppe's #9 gun oil on the bearings. Came out nice. More free-falling than the Skiff washers, however it might be a little too free-falling with that heavy blade and it kind of gives it a similar action to the thousands of other knives with the same style of bearings. It's a nice action, however the smooth washer action might suit me a bit better. I wish that Skiff made some upgraded bearings for it with the thick bearing race and maybe multi-row bearings, however they only make the thick washers. Might change it back later, but I'll keep it like this for a while.

I do absolutely love how the Project X has it's own disassembly tool in it's backspacer. That is a super cool design.
