This is my edc these days. After losing my sog flash ii.
Attachment 129401Attachment 129402
Nice looking bevel on that CRKT. :tu
Here's my newest addition.
My wife has ordered this as a present to me for my birthday in July.
A good woman that is:)
She is having it engraved with my initials, so I'll receive it just in time for my day.
The standard model is in stainless, but she changed that to a carbon steeled one, knowing that would be what I'd want

My EDC knife is a Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21. I keep a Spyderco Techno in my backpack (or briefcase) and have a SAK Cadet on my keys.

Here's my baby
Gotta read up on those when I get home today, Birnando.
I'm waiting to see World War Z,,, I could use it, should one jump from the screen.
I've sold most of my knife collection off, but still part of my EDC is this UK legal Spyderco Urban with a VG10 steel blade under 3inches, and fern green G10 scales, it's a great little knife. I also have a little Japanese Moki in strawberry jigbone with a leather & linen carry pouch.

Hi guys, nice to see razor guys are knife guys too.
I carry a gerber ezout fine edge in ats34, gerber descent, bear grylls scout,
Buck fine edge picked up for 30 bucks, keeps a good edge
Many swiss army knives
And a few 60 70 era knives from my uncles
Also have svord peasant and peasant mini at hand, these are always with me as they are always proper sharp, standard peasant has been convexed mini is standard as i found straights to play with.
And a few others all in the drawer ready to go on how i feel that morning.
My workbench knife is one i made from 3mm swedish bandsaw steel with aluminium handles and recycled rivets from a cheap kitchen knife. No heat treatment but all made by file and wet and dry.
Also have some st1 planer blades that i have played around with making single convex edged blades as it doesnt like the fine bevel, but stays sharp for months.
The boys at work have pinched for there packing bench knife.
Well today I've got my Spyderco Para Military II (it's Friday right, why not!), but usually a Delica or Benchmade Mini Grip by Doug Ritter.
Benchmade 580 Barrage Assisted opening AXIS lock. Love this knife, little bigger than my HK Ally that I used to carry but I got used to it quickly. Attachment 133540
Just ordered a Mercator "Cat Knife" and the Douk "Squirrel Knife". They are both neat looking knives and cheap at that. I will put them through there paces and see. Soon enough I will get a Mora "Robust" and see how that one does as well.
The knives from Fontenille Pataud were really beautiful. I liked the video. maybe after January I can get one.
Being a member of SRP has exposed me to the world, so to speak. Shaving items from around the world are a given, but seeing things like knives, watches, foods, vacation photos, of ports I will never see, are a big plus for me.
A pleasure indeed.
I like tactical folders and have way more than I need. I find myself carrying a CRKT M-16 quite a bit though. It's on the small side and the small black clip makes it more discreet than lots of my others.

For quite a few years now I have been wanting a Chris Reeve Sebenza.
I finally decided to get one today:)
I think this will be a perfect work-companion for me, perhaps even a hiking tool.
Here's a couple screenshots from Chris Reeve Knives

I have always been a big fan of carrying just a small >3inch fixed blade around. I did however carry a 5 inch fixed blade for a while, until the blade got damaged...
Alright, I know I have already posted this knife in this thread.
However the filework on it impressed me so much that I just had to put one more pic up of it;)
I asked to have my initials on it, as it was a gift from the Mrs.

I can tell you now, that knife will never see a single minute of work, :nono: ,,,,it will be polished & honed every week though,, :hmmm:,,,I can also tell you there will be a "back-up" knife, close by, every time there is need for a knife. :whipped: ,,,,,I can also bet we see a few more photos of this beauty in the future,,,,:w,,,,,,:rofl2:
Got a nice one last week. A Schatt & Morgan File and Wire series gunstock slipjoint in ATS-34 steel
Took some time but I put a very nice edge on it and it's residing in my pocket right now.

And here it is with my other "gunstock" knives. A Queen Gunstock jack and an A.G. Russell Gunstock lockback.
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psa5b747e5.jpg
A nice hefty blade on that Schatt & Morgan.
much thicker than I thought it would be too.
Very nice though.
I think it makes it a little better, a good strong blade.
Microtech L-UDT (large under water demolition team) auto, 154CM steel. Has been my every day carry knife for over 10 years. I used to sell Microtech knives and have a number of them in my collection. Microtech has won numerous awards over the years as the finest production knife made.
I am carrying and EOD Gerber multi tool, and a shrade viper otf. I fell in love with out of the front (otf) knives after I got one the army gave me that mysteriously vanished after a buddy came over.... Hmm.

After receiving my Chris Reeve Sebenza, I kinda fell in love with this brand.
So, I decided to get another one.
This time an Umnumzaan.
A bit beefier blade stock than the sebenza, and with a Tanto blade.
I'm seeing this as my choice of weaponry for those days when I'm doing rougher work around the house and at work.
This folding knife thing is starting to get to me, I already have a few more in my sights...
Again, a stock photo I'm afraid:)

Cant afford a sebenza what with all the money spent on bussy knives .
my edc is currently a winkler neck knife and as of yesterday a kershaw cryo .
Some elegant office stuff today:
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7afb60fc.jpg
Ohhh LX , thats just sexy . what is that with the crazy hamon?
The blade on that one is a Stainless damascus/Cowry-X laminate.
The outer layers are stainless damascus steel with a core of Cowry-X steel sandwiched in between. Cowry-X has a CRAZY amount of carbon in it (approaching 3 points where most normal carbon/stainless steels only have around 1 point or so) and in this case is hardened to rockwell 65-67 or so. It has amazing edge retention.
And offcourse it looks stunning.
Technically, that is not even steel anymore, which is defined to be between .2 and 2 % carbon content.
:)
hahaha yeah sharpening was interesting but not too bad since i was using DMT Diamond plates to set the bevel.
And despite the high chromium content is not all that corrosion resistant.
It's some funny stuff alright.
A couple more from my growing rotation:)
These are more in the Gentleman's folder category I suppose..
The bigger one is a Rockstead Chi in ZDP-189. Hardened to 66,7
The smaller one is a Chris Reeve Mnandi in Snakewood.
Attachment 138911
NOW WE'RE TALKING!
I've been coveting a Rockstead for ages.
