EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

After a couple days of small-knife-toting with my ACE Biblio, I'm back to my usual size range and back to a 710. Despite the fact that I have many knives more expensive, this is one of the Crown Jewels of my collection. It also would have to be wicked long or have wicked fine print to include all the names that went into its creation. As with all 710's, it bears the names of (Bill) McHenry and (stepson Jason) Williams, inventors of the AXIS lock and designers of the model. To that we could add Les de Asis, owner of Benchmade that produced the knife, though his butterfly logo is already there. Then there's Roger Claunch, founder/owner of KnifeWorks who commissioned the -1401 and sold me this one. We could make room on the blade for Bohler-Uddeholm, maker of the M390 steel which is marked on the reverse side, and as the blade would be fully cluttered and a hideous billboard, I'd appropriately finish with our man, Keyman, who made my glorious holey Arizona Ironwood scales, inscribed on the handle.
