Yeah, it's a CRKT Eros. Great little knife. I don't really understand all the hate CRKT gets.

Yeah, in the knife community I've notice a lot of hate toward CRKT, but my 4 years in the Army, that and Gerber were the most common knives by far and CRKT was an excellent knife. I carried my M16-14SFG every day that I was in. It did everything I asked of it and still serves me well. I never saw a CRKT break, saw a few Gerbers break, but none made in USA. Most of the guys only had the cheapo Taiwan Gerbers. I didn't get my first Becker until I had 6 months left in, I really wish I had discovered them much sooner.
 
Does anyone here EDC a ka bar dozier folding hunter with thumb notch ? If so how do you like it for EDC work?
 
Finally decided to play....

Back when I was in the Army, I carried one or more of the ones below. I bought all of them at the Post Exchange or Military Clothing Sales and they served pretty well. From the top, a Spiderco Delica, a Benchmade Ascent in ATS34, and a Benchmade Mini(?)-Ascent in 440C. Not sure of the exact model numbers since it's been quite a few years. For some reason, the bigger Ascent always felt too big when I was wearing civvies, so I generally only carried it when in uniform. Looking at the pictures, it doesn't "look" that much bigger, but it certainly "feels" bigger.



Now that I'm retired (from the Army at least, I still need to work to pay kid's college tuition and the mortgage), my tastes have gotten a bit more upscale. From the top, a Benchmade 906BKD2 Mini-Stryker NITROUS Tanto (black box), an ESEE Zancudo, and a Leatherman Micra.



I generally carry all three of these, along with a BK14 with the orange zytel between my t-shirt and dress shirt. The ESEE goes in the right pocket, since the Benchmade is assisted, does not have a reversible pocket clip and has a habit of opening up in my right pocket if I bump the thumb stud. It works great in the left pocket though.
 
I had one of the the original mini manix , very joyous knife. It was confiscated by police . Turns out you can't EDC any sort of knife in Australia

When I think of Australia, unfortunately this immediately comes to mind:

You'll notice that the pendulum has swung the other way on my current set...
