EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Putting away my Kapara this morning, I though I'd double up and pay homage to DaveHS DaveHS and GovernorJosh GovernorJosh and their Spyd-tember run. I decided to pick my rarely carried Manix XL as it's another one of those that I've pondered selling like the Native Chief I carried a couple weeks back. The short story is that, like that knife I've decided to keep this one too as I spent some time with and working it on for a Too Too Tuesday.

Some might think this one is Too big or Too heavy or Too much of a pocket hog or has Too much aggressive jimping or was Too hard to break in. That last was me, as I tortured my fingers for a couple weeks working the release button before it finally loosened up enough to be one-hand closer as the knife is indeed Too long to nest the butt in my palm for leverage. Anyway, I spent time putting a new lanyard with nice bead on it this afternoon to replace the plain knotted camo cord that was there, touched up the edge on the SharpMaker, and worked the knife a bit to free up the action as it had sat for way Too long.

I'm glad I got it out, as re-discovering and enjoying a knife you let sit Too long can be even better than having something new as it doesn't cost a thing. ;)
