For Finally Friday, I'm carrying a -45 in jigged black comp that Steve P. told me was made for the military back in WWII. Spear/Sheepfoot/Pen blade configuration, 3 5/8" closed. Interesting that it does have brass and not iron liners, but it does have iron bolsters.

Here's the photoshopped picture that I sent to the guy doing the re-handle so he could see what I wanted. He did a mighty fine job.

I believe..., every knife is a soul, looking for a soulmate.
I went through some of my most used edc's and took some pictures grouping them by brand primarily. I will post some later.
This is what I am carrying today,top to bottom:
1- Benchmade, D2, design by McHenry & Williams
2- Kershaw, #1436, ATS-34 Steel
3- Case tested, #75, modified to single blade
4- George Wolstenholm I*XL, pen knife
5- Utica candle end Serpentine Jack, modified to single blade. Has arched top line of the tang stamp. I just finished this one the other day and need to work on the blade some more. Also may need to put in a smaller rocker pin because there is way too much snap on this put my old fingers!!
I went through a bunch of my user knives, My EDC's on New Year's Day and did a little maintenance.
I may need to thin this herd a little bit...
I'm not listing my Kershaw EDC's in this post. There is a separate topic in the Kershaw forum; Does Anyone EDC a Kershaw or two? If anyone cares to see them. I just had a couple more pictures to that topic also.
Some of pictures are broken out by brands, others by type of knife.
These are some of my Schrade Waldens, But by no means is it all of them. I have several 804's, bunches of 80Ts, 61OTs, Etc.
Some of my Schrade Old Timers. I like used knives better than new ones, personally.
These are some I customized. The Westaco and the West-Cut are both Western products. Of course the third one down is a Schrade Walden 2OT That I brought back from an old knife that Ozzie Marie sent me. Love This knife, the blade is actually an unstamped Schrade Cut Co. blade, of course the last one is pretty obvious, 1230T in stag.
These are most of my Benchmade EDC's, except in an early Walter Brendt model, which was my first Benchmade and also one of my favorite knives of any brand.
These are not all of my Al Mar knives, but they're the only ones I carry.
These are some assorted knives that I may have in my pocket on a given day. Top to bottom: Buck, but I forget the model number. It originally had a G10 handle that I didn't like so I swapped it out for a synthetic handle. Buck was very good about changing handles for me. But I do really like the S30V steel in that knife! This last one is one of the few Spyderco Knives I own. This was a design collaboration between Wayne Goddard despite ago. Wayne did a number of designs for Spyderco.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures, and Happy New Year.
