EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Not sure. Some time ago as I was just getting into PM 2 knives, I was just searching for aftermarket scales and ran across these. They weren't listed on their site but just happened to be in site that sounds like "Betsy".

I do not want to get in trouble for mentioning a specific site.

Good saturday mornin to ya folks! I missed a couple EDC pic days earlier in the week, so figured I'd post both. The Wilkins Ritter Grip's been with me through it all, for many many years. The Spydiechef is a heck of a knife too.

Seeing your sweet Wilkins Ritter Mini Grip yesterday got my large out and into my pocket this morning. Here, that one and its matching Mini are dubbed Rittilikins and have coarse black G10 scales with blood red aluminum backspacers. I've always been a fan of Kevin's work and have four Grips with his scales. I was disappointed when he stopped making those, but I appreciate his business model and get why he discontinued them.

I had always wanted a set of full-sized like your Ti pair, but missed out on plain stonewashed and settled for a flame anodized Ti set which were a little gaudy for my taste. I eventually sold those after buying a pair of natural G11's to replace them on my 154CM 550. My fourth with Wilkins scales also incorporates one of K's S30V replacement blades backed by brushed, matte aluminum scales.

I might just go on a 4-day run of those knives this week adding my Igorded OD 551S and stock 551-1 to finish up. In the meantime....

Yes it was either a Lizard or a Squirrel 😆
A squirrel was talking shit to her the other day hanging off A fence like it was going to attack . I saw the squirrel today it was eating some bird seed on the ground . I heard the Huntress chattering by the window she wanted revenge. I was curious to see what she would do and I slid open the slider and I never saw her run so fast lol she charged him and didn’t hesitate she ended up treeing him and almost went up the tree until I went out in the yard to grab her 😳

Nice man, sounds like we're on about the same wavelength regarding Grips and Wilkins scales. I've always called them Ritter Grips, then I have to add the Wilkins in there to make it Wilkin's Ritter Grip if they have a set of scales. I've got 2 pairs of Wilkins scales, the Ti ones and some natural G10 ones. Unfortunately my Ti ones aren't full size, they're mini Grip size. They're both mini's actually. I've always wanted a pair of large ones though. It's funny because I also have a pair of Igorded scales. The Igorded ones are full size and I love those too. There's something awesome about Grips in general. I'd like to get a full size just regular stock Grip again too though because I like the feel of just a standard Grip with it's plastic scales. It was one of my first nice knives.

And the Igorded full size Grip.

Had to carry my James brand Barnes after talking to scorpnsnake scorpnsnake 🍻 about them. I still really like mine. Expensive yes, but if you can find a decent deal on one, they are very well made and a great design.

Then I re-potted this Jade plant yesterday. I initially grew it in this enormous terracotta pot thinking that it would love the big pot and grow huge. However it turned out that the Jade I put next to it in a small pot with zero drainage holes outgrew it by many miles. It's strange because you're supposed to have good drainage according to everything I've read about Jades, but that one in the small glazed ceramic pot with no drainage is just killing it, so I put this one in a terracotta pot many times smaller than the huge one.

They have a tiny, little, shallow root ball.
