EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I want to apologize for feeling like I've been absent Here the last few weeks....
Dealing with parent issues, and Life.

Been doing lots of driving and stressing....not much "knifing".
Funny, my sister needed a roll of plastic cut. Idk how many layers it was? Maybe folded 6-8 times.
I used this knife. Sliced through quickly. She said ..."whoa, just like butter."
Even I was kinda impressed.....Ha.



*Knife, Still not done.
Bag is Awesome.
Best of luck with your parents my friend.

Thanks a Bunch, Terry!!!
(Parents)
It's the Hardest thing we have to deal with, I bet?
Only thing worse I can imagine is having a sick child.... fortunately, we've been blessed in that regard.

My parents were/are Very stubborn.
Which made everything difficult for my sister and I.

It's been every bit as dull, gray, and wet as forecast today, which should have inspired me to work in the shop on the tedium of prepping the two bathroom window sash for re-finishing. Instead I mostly relaxed, read, ate, took a loooong hot shower, and only messed with one of the sash a little, though I did fix the old micro-wave as a stop-gap ahead of its replacement arriving in a few days. It was our youngest's college nuker--he told us it cost him like 30 bucks at Benny's--owes no one anything, must be over 15 years old, and is funky enough to deserve replacement, working or not.

Anyway, I carried the same knife again, lightly touching it up and stropping before foolishly cutting sandpaper with it next door, so I did a full SharpMaker fresh edge afterwards, not feeling much like getting the EdgePro out. I was gonna use some file pics instead of taking any crappy indoor snaps, but found a picture-in-picture in my files that inspired this one...

Carried and used it today .
Impressed with how well it cuts.
LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS ! Black blade, black lock release and hardware . . . black clip . Toned down but looks so good to me .

Mine is the "Deep Thoat" ; seems like I recall that means it can take on railroad ties for landscaping etc. I have not put that to the test.
Way back in the day I was building hand made "Canopy Beds" ; basically fancy sculptured steel beds with various themes in the four posts . One we did had a small tree like sculpture at each corner . Used solid mild steel round bar to make the branches all bent and curved with various size branches welded on . After the patina looked pretty good . Ha , ha I would use the porta band to "trim " the trees to look right .

I worked with an interior designer that owned the business , she made all kinds of light sconces and stuff by hand . She had a young woman that would show up after school, swap out her bright green vinyl mini skirt and thigh high boots for a pair of welders coveralls and spend the afternoon cutting out a ton of stuff with a plasma cutter. We got into making these beds for a while but then someone in Texas gave us too much competition with cheep labor etc .

It was kind of fun for a while but very labor intensive.
Oh . . . the floor model cutoff band saw . . . I could put a bunch of steel rods in it (has a large jaw vise on the chassis) and set it to automatically cut through the bunch and then when it cuts through it shuts it's self off . Very handy for cutting a lot of material to the same length all at once . That's it's main function .
