Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?

Carrying this one for a week now. Used for opening seven dust to cutting the stem of a rose I got for my wife. Definitely a handy EDC

Try your local pet stores. You can find some good looking stag sometimes; I’ve done knife handles from pet store stag and it turned out great.
