EDC Pic thread. Post em up!

I have an edc1 and I love it. This prefab shed kit I'm putting together is a real pos with twisted lumber and incorrect cut lengths. Several times I've used the edc to chisel off extra wood to get pieces to fit together. It's a great tool.

I did hit a staple pretty hard and chipped the blade, so I'll need to fix that, but it's still cutting just fine for what I'm doing right now.

Edit 11/16/2024: Turns out that the chip was just a roll. I was able to strop most of it back within about 5 to 10 minutes just using some green compound.

That is impressive. I hit that staple hard and at and angle. Any non-cpk knife that I've used would have certainly chipped. I don't think most non-enthusiast/uneducated knife users understand how crazy that is.

I’d love to see more edc swedges, especially any edc1 or 1.2 w/ swedges (not sure how many are out there yet, if any).

Still trying to decide if I should go for a swedge or not. The Native 5 blade profile is one of my favorites, and the edc1.2 w/swedge might be awfully similar in a really good way.

My brain (and wallet) says no, but my heart says yes. An edc1.2 with a swedge might be grail material down the road.

Btw here is a one-off edc from 2017 with a hollow swedge, although the grinds are different from the edc1.2:

This is a pretty knife.

Jo and I did the milling. The hollow grinds were done by Mark the psycho grinder monkey.

This is a one off, hand ground EDC with some very cool hollow grinds by Mark. It was heat treated here in the shop, by me, using the Delta protocol for CPM 3V. It is HRC 61 and sharpened at 18 DPS. I like the heat colors from HT so I left them on there. The colors aren't quite 100% perfect everywhere, but...

I believe the edc1.2 is essentially an edc1 with some minor blade changes (slightly pointer and shallow choil that blends with edge more) as well as using the slightly thinner scales of the edc 2/3.

Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm, I’m probably missing something too.

I thought this latest rendition was called the EDC3.

I think a 1.2 EDC would be very much like the original EDC except I would modify the plunge a little bit to reflect our current manufacturing process and modify the scales to be like the scales that we used on the two and three, which were a little bit lower profile and worked a little better in my opinion. So, basically going back to the well but incorporating some of the tweaks of two and three.

I believe it is the 1.2 #notnathan
