This osage orange #73 usually lives on my desk but I slipped it in my pocket today and carried it for a while.

I'm toting my #98 in white bone and a stag #77.

Both very comfortable knives and I feel I'm pretty well equipped with just these two knives!

I'm having trouble with the EDC part, but this 73 has been my primary carry for the past couple of years.

I see why Kamagong, great stag, great patina on a great blade.
Scott, like the cord weave, how many feet long is one like that? Cool.

Thanks, Phil ... I don't really have a favorite, as I like em' all for different reasons (size, blade config., etc ...)

They are all great user knives though ::tu::

I have a question...I'm wondering why the polished blades seen to be in better shape than the satin finished ?

Both knives were used pretty much the same way, every day chores home and work, got wet and forgot about for a while... ::facepalm::...been using them for 4 to 5 years. Clean them in hot water and dry off, sometimes a little oil on the blades.

Same old 2014 Viper, but new bead and thong. Probably my favorite GEC EDC.

Bob
Some where I have read that the slicker the finish the slower that rust forms. I guess the lowest places are holding material that promotes rust.
Just my opinion, but it makes sense to me.
