So starting tomorrow I will carry nothing else in my pockets but my wallet, keys and a Pioneer X! Let's see how good an EDC it makes!

Yes there are. I would suggest attaching it to your belt (or belt loop) with a lanyard.

So you got rid of poor old Pioneer X to make way for a newer, smarter one? That's cold G-Fiddy, even for a playa like you.
Good luck with the challenge. May the spirit of the original Pioneer X aid you during the 30 days. :cheers:

Is the Damascus stainless or do you get carbon taste in your apple? Does it slice as well as a regular Pioneer blade?
Some good questions. The blade is stainless, but nonetheless I immediately rinse and dry it after use. You do feel a bit more friction when slicing, compared to the normal pioneer blade.
Post by: magentus on April 12, 2017, 03:05:24 PM
Some good questions.
G-Fiddy, Following the global success of ZZ Tops 'Eliminator' album, why did the 'Tops replicate said album in 'Afterburner', 'Recycler', 'Antenna' and 'Rhythmeen' with each successive album being a paler and paler imitation, before I finally gave up and reconciled myself to only listening to pre-Eliminator 'Tops?

Probably to make deciding which 'Tops album to listen much easier for you.

Today this beautiful damascus Pioneer X landed in my mailbox. This calls for a badge!Specifically, how are you EDC'ing this? You using a dangler or letting it float in a pocket?
So starting tomorrow I will carry nothing else in my pockets but my wallet, keys and a Pioneer X! Let's see how good an EDC it makes!

Just letting it float in my pocket. I'm not into sheaths, lanyards and clips when it comes to pocket knives. Although for the big and bulky knives a belt sheath would be an option.

Also, he thanks me for trimming his nostrils. He wanted to do this himself, but he was short of hands.

The little device on the left side is the switch and fuel level indicator of the LPG installation. Makes driving the Volvo a lot cheaper than on petrol. LPG is around €0,60 per liter, petrol is around € 1.50 per liter.
Not every car is suitable for LPG, but these older 5 cillinder Volvo engines do exceptionally well on LPG.
This Volvo S70 has LPG installed for about 150.000 kilometers now.
We also have a 1998 Volvo V70 which already has LPG since it was sold to it's first owner. It now has 550.000 kilometers and still going strong!

I don't think so, the color depends on the light. Sometimes it's more grey, sometimes it's more greenish.

After carrying only the Pioneer X for 30 days it's time to draw some conclusions.
For the everyday carry in urban life the Pioneer X has everything you need. The only thing I kind of missed is the small blade. I always prefer to use a small blade for things like cutting tape (leaves sticky residue), so the large blade stays clean. Because of this, I was now forced to use the scissors more often but now the scissors got more sticky residue. I have said it before, but a Rancher X or Electrician X would be even more perfect than a Pioneer X.
When I was home I had to grab one of the other SAKs a couple of time because I needed a specific tool that isn't on the Pioneer X. In particular I found out that I use a metal file more often than I realised. I guess the perfect EDC knife should have the tools of a Rancher X and a metal file.
It took me some time to get used to the nailnick of the Pioneer X being on the wrong side. Funny thing, muscle memory :)
The damast blade on this Pioneer X is a beauty. At first it felt like it has a bit more "friction" when cutting through things than with the normal large blade, but the friction seemed to reduce over time.
I guess that's all that I can say at this point! It was fun to do this challenge and I can certainly recommend the Pioneer X.
The Pioneer X is taking some rest and says goodbye to you all!

After 30 days of work it's time for the Pioneer X to lay down, relax and enjoy the good things in life.
