EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I posted this in the Traditional Wooden Wednesday subforum, but thought some here would find it interesting.

On our daily walk on Sunday, a Pileated woodpecker had a couple holes started in this dead Hemlock tree. I took this pic on our walk yesterday, and it already had the tree shredded. This tree's at least 18" in diameter. Pileated woodpeckers are very territorial, and this is most likely the work of just one bird, or maybe a nesting pair.

Here's a pic of the pile of wood at the base.

And, of course, a Buck 112 for today's carry.

I just checked their range, and it looks like they're spread across some of Canada, and in the Eastern portion of the States.

We get a lot of Pileated Woodpeckers through our property. They are a big bird and their “hole poker” is savage. Haha. Such a beautiful and curious bird.
Their song is amazing. I always appreciate the times I get to come across and watch them do their work.

Yeah, once they start work on a dead tree, they keep at it until they have every bug out of it that they want. Then they leave. It's funny watching them ripping out chunks of dead wood, and throwing them down. It's like they become obsessed. Red headed woodpeckers, and the rest seem very dainty, by comparison.:)

You could send me yours to "BORROW" for several years🤣🤣🤣

My biggest problem with knives like these and spending that much on the auto version is that I use and carry my knives so I immediately lose money. First thing I do is use it to see if I like it I can't think of any other way to find out.
Most people would cringe at the thought of me carrying my vollotton to work I'm a carpenter and dust dirt debris and actual use mean it's not pretty for long lol. But that's exactly what I do with it and any other knife I get.

I hear ya. I’m in the muck and dirt also (carpenter😉) and I have used some expensive knives on sites, which wasn’t an easy thing to do, at least the first time, ha ha. I really wanted to feel the knife for what it’s intended. I’m glad I did. Even those expensive users are not abused. Some I just can’t bring myself to use, in that sense. I ll carry many and “use” with discipline. There is no right or wrong in using/not using or buying/not buying but just to enjoy the knives in however it appeals to each of us.
* there is gratification in at least one high quality user, at least imho.

Yes sir ! Limbing, topping, chunking out, or falling a big one really gets the blood pumpin ’ ! I still tackle trees in the line but only from the bucket truck. My “logging” days are well behind and the old back and joints wouldn’t have it any other way !
