EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

.

Most people can deal with temps up to about 105°. Overnight you'll probably see a 30° temperature drop.

110 is miserable, zaps your energy and all you want to do is stay inside, with the AC blowing.

When it hits 115+ in the desert, it becomes life threatening! The level of heat is on another level, you don't even sweat, it dries as soon as it leaves your body!

To add to that, just because it's dark out and the sun went down, doesn't mean it cooled off. It's still 100° at 2am, with a hot wind blowing!

Having water and something like Gatorade helps, you really have to be on top of staying hydrated. That and electrolytes, vitamins...

Heck, this year we even got a new manager of hydration!

Too soon?

Does it count that I feel bad about laughing at your joke?

No, it's life, making a joke about it is just being human, nothing mean.

None of us could've stopped it, the man was a nut case, on a level we couldn't comprehend.

Don’t think I’ve ever posted this one here; a Heretic Manticore E….on a hot, humid and ridiculously buggy Tuesday evening.

SHF 3.25” to kick off the week…

I'm glad to see you back around these pages again after your minute away, my friend, and I always love seeing that Dama SHF of yours. It's one of my favorite knives here at BF. I was tempted to pick up one like it for myself more than once before ultimately deciding it was just too far below my size preference for a substantial investment.

I was pleased when I checked the Exchange some time ago and saw abbazaba had listed his custom version of that handle/hardware colorway in the full-size version which he'd had made-to-order to match his 3.25 SHF similar to yours but with an S45VN blade, as Spartan curiously doesn't offer that handle finish in the full-sized SHF. I've been tempted from time-to-time to order a Dama blade for mine, but have yet to actually do so.
