Day 06Just the tools and hank changing out today, action shot of the sunshine classic being used as a fork to avoid greasy fingers at snack time(Image removed from quote.)Swisstool, Classic SD, Bantam, Pioneer, Twisted Assisted Trad(Image removed from quote.)
I love that trad folder there mate. Any information on it?
Day 6I lightened my load for the weekend by exchanging the ST200 for my Pulse and ditching the Nite Ize pouch and cable splicer knife:(Image removed from quote.)
Day 6I changed up the MT, Fixi, and folder, with everything else the same. Today was Spirit, small Cripple Creek (GEC 14) and a Bark River Mountaineer II.The ferro rod I keep in the knife sheath and the Mountaineer helped make some coffee to start the day then popcorn as a snack(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Day 06I used the Spyderco Dragonfly to open a package containing new pants with lots of pockets. While not actually cargo pants, the Carhartt carpenter pants have extra pockets on the leg that will fit a knife or a cell phone and other things and I plan to wear them this month loaded to the scuppers. I also ordered another pair of Duluth fire hose flex pants which should arrive on Monday.
Powernoodle Day 7(Image removed from quote.)The Associated Press is reporting that this woman's brain was found to be made of cat food.
No problem! I think the OEM is Besttech and it's commissioned/sold by a UK start up called Twisted Assisted, they aim to bring UK legal options at more reasonable prices. It's VG-10 steel with carbon fibre scales and came with a cheap and cheerful leather slip with a pocket clip on it. Price wise it's £45 for the CF, £40 for a G10 scaled version, but blemished version are available for £30 and £25 respectively. I paid about £40 for mine, since they give about a fiver discount on preorders for new products. Here's the link:https://www.twistedassisted.co.uk/store/twisted-assisted-tradition-slipjoint/
Boker Urban Trapper
i3T might be up your alley if you like AAA-sized lights That light was originally a Christmas gift for SurgeUK, but Amazon smurfed up and he ended up with two for the price of one! Happy to see it spread to another quality member It's a cracking little light with great output for the size
I don't own a LM Pulse, and it is probably discontinued now.
Day 7(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)The small blade on the vintage cadet is really dull, so dull that I have to resort to other tool to help unboxing this fountain pen nib.Swap in the Boker Urban Trapper for my folding knife, and use it for coffee duty. I love the slender profile of this knife, and it is a really ultra light weight knife. And unlike many of its counterparts, it does not use IBIS(loose bearing balls) but caged bearing.
Great thanks! I might pick up a grade B one for work! Won’t too hurt if it gets beat up and abused
I'll have to check out the i3T. And I sure am pleased to be thought of as a quality member! It's been discontinued for quite some time. Mine is a 04/01. If it had an awl and a wood saw, it would be dang near perfection. The rocker lock is a neat design.Great loadouts from awl! Day 7Bandana, dedicated knife, and marble changed again (as they will on every odd-numbered day). The Olight got a lanyard (a scaffold knot bracelet hitched through the key ring). The lighter, Classic SD, and a paracord smoothing tool were uses to make the lanyard. That addition means the Olight can safely shift to pocket 7.

I find the carrying of the bandana (in my case, a microfiber) to be the "worst" part, but it rides fairly unobtrusively in one of the many cargo pockets of my usual 5.11 Tac-lite pro pants.
That is ironic, because a bandana is part of my normal edc.
I've had one of those in my Amazon shopping cart several times, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Sometimes, just placing it in the cart is enough to satisfy for a little while my desire to buy.
Very nice! Always been tempted by an Urban Trapper in Cocobolo...
Day 7Even less to report today. Bit of a picnic, followed by a trip to IKEA for some random junk that She wanted. Couple of EDC moments while sorting the picnic out, mainly SAK duty for cutting food up, but with hands full doing that and handling sharp blades with kids nearby, getting a pic was not an option... and She thinks it's all a bit weird, TBH. IKEA did present an interesting situation, as the mini-trolley is designed to hold one child and one suspended IKEA bag, which means it cannot hold the items we were buying without them simply falling out the trolley.... I let Her Ladyship struggle for the 30-seconds or so it took me to stop laughing at her plight, before cracking out some of that paracord I mentioned, whacking a simple lash on and solving the whole issue.

Powernoodle Day 8(Image removed from quote.)Ruike 801-SF is a budget knife masquerading as a higher end blade. Sporting 14C28N steel and an extremely smooth flipper action, the 801-SF imparts a feel of quality not often found in $30 knives.(Image removed from quote.)Opening a loaf of frozen bread.https://www.amazon.com/Ruike-Tactical-Folding-Stainless-P801-SF/dp/B06XD65VQF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1FGK1902O3N10&keywords=Ruike%2B801-SF&qid=1659964625&sprefix=ruike%2B801-sf%2Caps%2C67&sr=8-1&th=1
Nice lanyard!
Just realized most of the sharps I carry are kinda dull...
