EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

This one arrived today, just got around to opening it tonight so it’ll be my evening “kick-back-n-chill couch carry”.

Over the past 6 months, along with a slew of edc knives my “collection” has been trending more toward limited editions and knives that strike me as having somewhat unique attributes. I don’t own anything extraordinary or truly collectible, it’s just that occasionally a knife may strike a chord/resonate with me because of the story behind it….or because I’m not likely to see another exactly like it.

While not limited in production, the Boker M4 Sherman caught my eye the moment it was first released. As always, first and foremost I was simply drawn to the size, design and aesthetics. I had some reservations; one of which stemmed from a German manufacturer collaborating on a tribute to an American tank from WWII…but the Nichols forged blade eventually sold me on the knife. At the end of the day, I just like the concept and the history….and while I’m a little unclear on the exact details, I love the idea that actual steel from Sherman tanks is being used to produce the Damasteel.

Anyway, apologies for the long-winded backstory. I’m a retired guy sitting at home watching TV with my wife on a Saturday night….and she has absolutely no interest whatsoever in hearing why this knife found its way to our doorstep today. That means the burden falls on you all.

If you read this far, thanks for listening. If ya bailed by the second paragraph…I don’t blame ya’ one bit. Regardless, have a great evening.

I've been super busy with work and making strings in the evenings for the upcoming Archery season. I said screw it today and went tenkara fishing.

Still carrying the Medford M-48. The beauty is in its' simplicity.

I like that M-48.

Most of the day was getting Twisted with the Tighe, then started Exploiting stuff on my late night walk (which mind you is painful with third degree burns on my leg). I'm overweight so I as usual push through. They have opened now and are grisly. High of 96° and a walk during the day was not my idea of fun, plus I'd already been roasting at my nephew's football game. Again, they are both on the same team, flag football for now.

Decided to take apart my Viper Novis just for the hell of it. Strange knife. No actual pivot screw. Disregard my comment about the clip. I'm a MOron.

Freakin cool!

What a great view!

Looks delicious.

As a kid I used to put coins on the rails. Great memories.

When my grandfather was young, he saw older kids doing stuff like that. He put a brick or something like that on the track and derailed the train..

If I remember correctly, he was 5 or 6. Would have been around 1930.

My parents never let us near the tracks because of it.
