EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[marcus aurelius]

My attempt at combining things I love - Racing and EDC. May work on some more Hiking/Shooting and EDC shortly. Could try to sneak some Gym and EDC, but that probably wouldn't end well.

Did your f3 come with this sheath?

No, that was a sheath I already had, that just happened to fit it perfectly.

It's funny to think about how we (grown men) put our sharp rocks in special poses for glamor shots.

Absolute cave men... love it.

Thanks, I figured it looks like a Creely Mako sheath.

Mate it’s a Kizer trestle it’s a good 1.
They make it with a drop point blade as well.

Speaking of Griptilians.. I have a major soft spot for them too, especially the large size. I've had quite a few different varieties of them, this is my only large left in the collection. With Igorded micarta scales. The Spydie got a nice little workout yesterday too. I need to strop it up.

Love the Voo....

Me too man, such a fantastic knife! I love Lum designs.

I saw a post about that conversation with Mcnees you had and I tried some wicked Wax when I rebuilt my native. I need to try it on something not a backlock though to really compare. I've been using a light application of kpl and a very light suspension grease on my detents(slick honey). Then I usually protect my blades with Phil wood tenacious oil because it's so tacky.

Oh cool, let me know what you think after using it for awhile if you don't mind. I just bought some Wicked Wax the other day and will be trying it too next time I clean a knife that I think it could be a good candidate for it. The whole reason he switched to using wax instead of oil is because oil residue on the lockbar often introduces lock stick. Even if you're very careful and only use a little oil on the washers and the tiniest drop on the detent ball, oil will often migrate down to the lockface. Many (perhaps even most) times it's fine and doesn't introduce lock stick, but seems like one out of every 20 knives or so the oil will create pretty bad lockstick and will stay until you clean the lockface off. It's not a huge deal for regular knife users because we can just clean our knives and get rid of it, but if your a knifemaker and you get customers contacting you about lock stick that could be remedied very easily yourself, but is much harder to diagnose if someone else has one of your knives and doesn't know about this.. That's when it really makes a difference and why he stopped using oil all together.
