EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Since we're on page 801, my Zt801.

Just pocketed a limited edition CRKT Titanium Hi-Jinx (designed by Ken Onion and made by LionSteel) that I received in the mail today.

Didn't even know that it existed until a few days ago and was able to buy this one for less than asking price on EB. It was the 2014 Blade Magazine Knife of the Year and is identical in profile to (but is overbuilt and much heftier than) the standard version of the Hi-Jinx that I already owned.

Speaking of "overbuilt" and "hefty", the blade thickness/weight of the Ti is 5mm/6.4oz vs 2.82/4.9 mm on the standard version. I don't mind the extra wt of the Ti, which makes it feel like a much bigger knife in your hand than it is but doesn't feel that heavy in the pocket.

It has just a little bit of lock stick which (unlike my Nirvana) can be eliminated by simply pulling back on the blade w/minor pressure while releasing the lock bar.

It is a beautiful knife which I am happy to add to my collection. :)

What a solid well made knife . I love the action and detent . It feels like a paramilitary on steroids. I love my para’s but this one feels like it scratched a itch I couldn’t reach is the best way to put it lol :D

Nice! Who is the maker of those cf scales? Ive been looking at getting some for my zdp endura for a while now and was thinking silver twill possibly although some G10 would be good also. Maybe both as I own a few enduras.

Thanks! Aramis Akhmedov made these, if you look his name up you’ll find a few different places to buy his scales or have some made.
