EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

ChazzyP said:
I'm continuing on with my run of carrying the Glessers' knives, but as I've not been at it all month like our two intrepid posters, perhaps my effort should just be a Spydathon or something along those lines. That'd also leave me free to bail if my urge to carry something else becomes overwhelming. I don't quite have enough to make it through this entire month without repeats anyway, though I could get by if we were celebrating Leap Feb-derco. 😏

So, working my way through the same small drawer, is my other fluted Ti Spydie, the Military, which quite possibly has the smoothest action of any folder in my accumulation, at least of any of those I have on washers.

Any chance we could see them together? I'm usually not a fan of those factory clips but for some reason they look right at home on that fluted ti.

Here ya go, friend.

As to my take on Spydie clips, I find the stockers to be functionally excellent, both for ease in and out of pocket and good retention. I love the bright polished ones and detest the black-painted sort which look cheesy when new and worse when chipped and used. I put aftermarkets on my FRN Delica and Endura and only my K390 Police and Cutlery Shoppe Tenacious still have the black-painted stockers. My Sage collection and a couple other Spydies have the wire clips which I like a lot.

And, yeah, the stock polished clips do look right at home on those fluted Ti beauties.

Please tell me about the fixed blade. It looks like the right size for pocket carry.
Thank you, Coleman.

It’s a high carbon blade with rag micarta. It has a tapered tang as well. Overall length is 6 5/8” with a blade length of 3” (cutting edge is 2 7/8”). It’s very comfortable in hand and perfect for pocket carry.

I really like Dalibor’s work. I prefer his micarta handles over his stag handles, for thinness.
His stag handles are incredible too, but not my cup of tea ergonomically.

Overall, value to usefulness of Daado’s knives is amazing. Excellent price for what you receive.

I’m never going to be able to pick a favorite Spyderco but my Chaparral would be in top 2 any day. Yours looks great with the lanyard on it.
