I gave up today. I started carrying my Leatherman on my belt. I'm tired of not carrying it because it's a lot for pocket carry. I don't even notice it on my belt until I need it. It's been very useful at work. Love this tool! Edit: I just realized I'm one step closer to being that dad, who carries a Batman Belt.
This week's carry: From the Rough Ryder "Classic Carbon" Series, a RR1740 Large (4.375 inch closed) Stockman, and RR2040 Barlow. A SK Blades "Smoke Jumper" Buck110LT SFO with stone washed CPM154 blade, in a "wrong" plain black Buck nylon sheath, carried horizontally on a black military style web belt. For a "good" pen, a Parker Jotter ballpoint.
Late afternoon mail call thanks to our friend @Pharmagator , who's selling off his CKF's over at the Exchange. Ever since I saw @Edgeoflife 's SSE posted on this thread and he and I had a bit of back and forth regarding it, I've had my eye out for one, so I was most pleased when this one popped up. The knife's just like new and seems a solid piece that I expect will break in to be an excellent user. The action's good on ceramic bearings with easy disengagement, the blackwash-like finish and medium stonewash M390 blade should be nicely wear-hiding, and the 3D fluted, convexed, and nicely shaped handle makes for a reasonably secure grip despite the lack of jimping. The slabs feature generous internal milling to help make this all-metal knife eminently pocketable at 4.75 oz and the sculpted clip seems quite serviceable. Went right in my pocket....
Titanium Tuesday! 22 days of carry which is also how long I've had this knife. If I'm going to keep posting the same 2 knives over and over I really am going to have to learn to take better pictures so you all don't get sick of them.
It missing something.... perhaps a cord or something that usually hangs on it... i can’t put my finger on it, weird.
It has one now, though I tried two different beads, three different cords, and several different knots before settling on plain gray 550, 6 snake knots, and one of my blue glass beads, all as a placeholder 'til I find something I like. I'll post it tomorrow when I can get a daylight pic as I'll be sure to be carrying the new kid on the block.
Now, that’s more like it . I don’t have the luxury to put a placeholder tho. I just slap a 550 cord on it with 4-6 serpent knots and called the day until i find a perfect bead on it. Sometimes, even with the cord without a bead on it, it feels like my knife isn’t even complete yet... feels like missing something.
