EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

As I began to post this I thought of our friend Sharp & Fiery Sharp & Fiery , both for his post in response to those who think all the knives shown here are new and unused as well as another lamenting an excess of off-topic pics on these pages, my favorite thread. Like him, I usually try to show my carries in their "best light" but my favorite work user certainly bears the marks of all the love from the last ten or so years of hard use. I had it with me in the wood shop today making new interior stops for the bathroom window that's getting rehabbed.

And, I'll wander off-topic a bit as there's been a bit of Milwaukee/Dewalt fun and posturing here and I'll mention that I've got a broad range of power tools that go back to the "good old days" of Porter Cable, Milwaukee, Rockwell, Delta and the like, some of which are still in service after 45 years of service or more while others are only out of use due the unavailability of wear parts such as triggers and brush cages. Air tools include Hitachi, Bostich, Max, and Makita. I've got lots and lots of corded hand and standing tools by those mentioned above plus Skil, Bosch, Makita, Fein, Hitachi, and a few others. The more modern, eminently popular and useful cordless stuff includes two generations of Bosch (24V drills, sawzall, circular, and chop saw plus 12V drills, impact drivers, light, recip saw); Makita (2 circular saws, hand-held vac, blower, and socket driver); and more recently the newer generation Milwaukee M18 Fuel tools (hydraulic impactor, chucked drill, router, and grinder). I've also got a fair amount of Festool stuff. You'll notice no Dewalt mentioned, the only one of those I have being a beater 12" compound chop saw "inherited" from my late business associate when I bought his construction and dump trailers and some gear from his wife after his passing. That's in my shed up north. Maybe I just don't like yellow.

Anyway, easing back on topic, here's my latest M18 tool which arrived today to replace my 45 year old Craftsman shop vac--nicknamed R2D2--which died last fall. This new one--now dubbed B2EMO--unlike its predecessor, is quiet, light, and easy to move around.
