    Wife found the Kershaw leek, I must have walked by this bag full of fire starting noodles and it yoinked it right out. Now I’m flush with knives.

    I downsized my EDC with this little Buck. Small as it may be, it gets used almost daily. I had my last EDC for about 12 years before it really started falling apart, and plan to do the same with this one.

    20250131_155850.jpg 20250131_155909.jpg 20250131_155922.jpg here is one I carry often. This Karambit was forged by Bladesmith Jesse lambert of JD Knives. This is a San Mai blade with 1500 layer damascus cladding (15n20 & 1095) with a Nitro V core. The handle is made from Mokume Gane. Mokume Gane is an ancient japanes type damascus this one is with copper and brass.

    That is very unique. Is it comfortable to hold and use?

    It is, but because of the shape of the blade narrows its use some. I still find it pretty handy, from stripping wires to hot dog sticks, use it quite a bit.

    Have you been using that on Ash trees ? It looks like the ash bore has infected that unit.

    Thank you, it's much more handier for what I use it for shaped like that. The original is extremely pointy.

    Not an EDC, way to purty and more for stabbing living things, but I'll post it anyways :D

    This is my tanto "Tantoshi".
    - Stabilized mable burl handle with accents
    - Wrought iron cladding from 200 year old wagon wheel, Damascus core
    - Habaki + Guard in Mokume Gane
    - Saya (scabbard) is fitted. You need to squeeze it fairly hard when inserting or removing the blade for it to come in and out smooth, you get that nice shhhk sound.

    I chop some veggies with it every now and again just for fun.
