EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[Sharp & Fiery]

Very nice trio my friend. The fixed blade is almost too pretty to use.

Thank you. “Almost.”

It's Day Three of this weeks' Griptilathon and I already exhausted my only stock model on Day Two. Today's entry might pass as my Shadow Grip as its original stock parts are largely hidden within with only some of the screws, the AXIS lock bar, and the outer pivot components showing. The black clip is indeed a BMK, but I added that after removing the Wilkins deep carry that came on the knife, having picked this one up on the Exchange largely as you see it. IIRC the knife came to me in a 551 box, but I have no idea what it had for a clip when new. I always wanted one of Kevin's replacement blades, missing out after they were discontinued, and felt fortunate to find one already installed on this knife.

This one wasn’t on my radar, actually I wasn’t even aware of it. That is until it was recommended to me by one of Les George’s top sales people, norcalAF , who always seems to be able to tap into my lack of self control. Just kidding Bro! I always appreciate your input. Anyway, it flips like a dream, and is built like a tank! I’m very pleased with it.

He’s one heck of a salesman . I’ve bought several knives based off of his recommendation and loved every dang one of them. Still need to pick up one of those zt/emersons that I can never remember the number of.

That's good to know on using Bar Keeper's Friend to clean light rust spots off of a bead blasted finish. I messed up the bead blasted finish on a couple of my knives by taking a Q-tip with a tiny bit of metal polish on it and doing a light cleaning on the spots. It doesn't take much to mess up the consistency of a fine bead blasted finish does it. I'll try your method next time, thanks for the tip!

Welcome to the forum! That Gerber multitool is the best generation of them in my opinion. I have several Gerber multitools from different periods and that is the best. I got one from my grandpa.
