Help! Micarta Caring and Which model is this exactly? EDC 1, 2, or 3?

greatwtan · Mar 26, 2025

Got this EDC from a friend recently, yet I have no idea which model is it.

Also, could someone please tell how to clean this knife ? Can I wash it with detergent ？can I use oil on the micarta handle after washing it?

Dish soap and water works for cleaning Micarta. I recommend mineral oil if you want to oil it. Mineral oil is food safe. That looks like the newest edc. 1.2 to me.

I sometimes use a little dawn dish soap on mine and then dry it off. Let it sit for about a half hour and then put a little protectant on it. Not necessary but that’s what I do. Very similar to how I care for my wooden cutting board.

Good friend you have.

What are their name, contact info, and interests/hobbies???

Also, if you’d like to share where they go grocery shopping, I may happen to be in that area purely by coincidence.

I am 100% confused right now. There is one more version called 1.2? Why not EDC 4?

I see Nathan liked this post. I guess this is the right answer.

Thank you!

It is my intention to leave this open for the weekend, or until 300 are spoken for, whichever comes first.
