EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

My son had abused one of his Stanley wood chisels when we worked on finishing the chimney flashing and finally getting the staging off the roof early this summer. After using it to drive the lead balls into the flashing reglet, its business end looked more like a half-inch long saw than a honed cutting edge. As it was still here, I decided to repay his efforts for us by restoring that unfortunate tool. I roughed it back a ways on the grinding wheel, frequently quenching, then spent an hour honing on my coarse blue diamond DMT stone with my angle jig, as I'd made kind of a mess of it on the wheel, then spent a little time on the fine. I got a pretty good arm workout and ended up with a nicely restored bevel and edge.
