EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

View attachment 1205650 View attachment 1205651 View attachment 1205652 Look Ma, no screws. The pivot pin is retained by a dovetailed sliding fork with a C clip on the end. The rear pin holds the pocket clip and keeps the scales together. The double headed rear pin is retained by a C clip on the swinging spine. The hole behind the rear C clip is part of the lanyard tunnel. The pocket clip can be reversed. The rear pin can be removed through the lanyard hole. The slots in the blade can be used to hold Tritium vials.

That’s a slick looking knife! Any more info on it?

My 115-B Stell Böhler N695, is the knife that I carry today with me. Certainly one of my favorite knives. Whenever I go hunting I make sure to take it with me.

It's a budget custom... Definitely punching above its weight class, but it doesn't have the same level of refinement as something like a Reate. It can't really at $350.

He's done the important stuff though. The action is spectacular. The symmetry is good. The lockup is good. The handle edges and scales are left sort of "as-cut" though.

I really like the knife and would happily purchase one for myself. I'd have to spend some time rounding and polishing edges though.

My only real complaint is the pocket clip. It was too tight and the contact point is too sharp with concave ramps, so getting it over a thick seam required an absurd amount of force.

You're probably not supposed to do this with a passaround knife, but I bent the clip a tiny bit to relieve the tension. It was really unusable as delivered. Works fine now though. No issues with pocket rentention and I'm no longer trying to rip the ass off of my pants just to deploy the knife.

As long as you're ok with the sort of rustic finish on the handle or with putting in a little elbow grease of your own, it's a really solid buy. Has a lot more character than a Reate too.

Thanks for the great write up!

Love the maroon with black hardware.

I do have that MP1 that I'd hoped to dress up a bit... and that would eliminate the expense of buying another knife

Sibling Spydies today. Sage 1 and Chaparral. The Chaparral is a great fifth pocket knife.

This is a TwoSun ts88 Chinese ball bearing flipper. The operation is very smooth. The weight is 4.8oz. The complexity of the machining blows me away. They shipped it without the portable disassembly tool, so I must take it apart on the bench. When I asked about the tool, they said the ts88 knives they receive don’t seem to come with them.View attachment 1205874View attachment 1205875View attachment 1205876

Just received this in my mail box yesterday..... Loving it so far.

I sold my elementum with the ebony wood when I saw this was in the works. perhaps I would sell this as well if they made one with the Damascus blade and wood scales..... Or micarta
