EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[DB_Cruiser]

Annoying question: what type of flashlight? I can't make it out

It is a Maratac AAAx2 Titanium light. I got this from CountyComm. I also have two of the single AAA lights. One in brass and the other in copper. They seem very high quality for the money.

Edit: Ninja'd!

That knife looks like it's about to lose its head after mating....

Haha I'm always looking for the right knife to open my new knife package... I cant use a cheap chinesium kershaw to open a $450 knife package.... I've usually got to find the right equal quality knife.

J complained that the chef's knife was dull this morning when it slipped off an onion getting sliced for our omelets and got a piece of her fingernail instead. I have been putting off sharpening our Wusthof Classic Ikon Creme kitchen knives so I took care of the chef's, santoku, and parer forthwith. They're decent quality and were bought for ease of sharpening as they don't have a giant forged bolster at the blade edge heel. The steel is some sort of _Cr_MoV stainless that takes a really keen edge easily and hold it pretty well. I'd also been putting off flattening my EdgePro hones, so I did that first and it made such a huge difference that I did it after too. M390 Grip with Wilkins coarse G10s in my pocket and on the counter while I sharpened....

I was so pleased with the flattened hones that I got out my Tabargan to re-do the edge I'd put on in Vermont the previous month. I'd reprofiled a bit and seemed to have missed quite finishing off the apex. It didn't take long to get its 440C screaming sharp with the refreshed hones. I was also struck by its similarity to the Rittilkins and find myself now carrying two pretty large knives for the remainder of the day.

Just doing small tasks around the house and shop today carrying a big knife to balance things out.

Like I said before, lover you Russian Military. I'm envious.

Well thanks again, friend. The knife is slowly transitioning into more of a user--I custom ordered it for the stonewashed blade finish to be more wear-hiding--though it's still a ways away from being a work user. I cut down some really heavy cardboard boxes with it yesterday and it just flew through them--wicked sharp, thin behind the edge, and the tall FFG makes it a helluva cutter and slicer. How 'bout another gratuitous pic?
