That is good for you Craig if it makes you happy there is no problem about that posting and share it with us here. 

I'm thinking about making a BIG change though. I might get one in stag to carry......or Buffalo horn......LOL!

I got the other day my first benchmade the mini 745 Dejavoo.

O man that is one smooth knife only down side is the one position pocket clip.

But as all designs from the late Bob Lum also this one is outstanding now I really want the onslaught...

I love it!

Nice lookin' knife, Patrik!

I'm a "tip up" kind of guy myself. So, like with Spydero's Military, I would also find the one position clip to be restrictive. But, hey! If that's the only flaw in this knife then I think that I could easily learn to live with it. It's also nice to see a Benchmade knife with a locking mechanism something other than their standard axis lock. I'm probably one of the few who prefers a liner lock.

It sure is a good looking knife!

Hi Ron I also prefer the Liner lock. This knife Is like a spyderco. I'm a huge spyderco fan and collect mainly spyderco knifes but also other production brands. 

That IS a good looking knife! 

Patrik, just practice drawing the knive each day and soon you will be comfortable with the tip down carry.  My CRKT M16 is a liner lock and I practice with it a couple time a week using both hands. 

Jim

James and Patrik.....

If we are talking about drawing the knife in an emergency......Yes muscle memory is the best way so practice.  However, unless there is a significant difference in the feel of the top of the knife, muscle memory will not work. In law enforcement we do not like to carry a revolver one day and an automatic the next, as muscle memory gets confused on which gun we are pulling from which holster.  The feel of a revolver is greatly different than an automatic.  I carry a 1911 auto model identical to the Colt 1911.  For different duties and carry needs I have three different 1911 models I carry.  I have a Kimber Ultra Carry with a 3" barrel, a Kimber Pro Carry with a 4" barrel and a SigArms 1911 with a 5" barrel all of which shoot the .45acp.  The point is if you feel you need a knife for emergency split second usage then carry the same knife model everyday.  For smaller usage at your desk or opening the mail you can carry a smaller pocket knife like a Victorinox Signature.

As far as carrying point up and point down I prefer point up but it is not a game stopper.

Clint,

You are absolutely right. I haven't changed my EDC in many years, I did however moved my CRKT M16 from the right back pocket to the right front pocket a couple of months ago and just the other day I found myself reaching for it in the back pocket; long memory of long usage.

Jim

Clint you nailed it! this dejavoo is one of those handy smaller knives and I was carrying it on my weak side but on my strong side I do carry my tactical blade.

Yes Billy I know most of their production are US made so naturally the quality level should be higher than in other production knives made in like the most in China.

The price does reflect this of course I want to try more of them out and have a couple of griptilian's on the way to me.

That's a nice on Patrik. Wish mr. Lum designed more lefthand carry friendly options. I've seen quite a few of his designs that I really like.

Hi Alexander.

Check out the spyderco Chinese Lum series of knifes. 

Those are not mine here on the picture but I did bough 2 variants will post some pictures when they arrive. Currently I have just one small Lum Chinese that is pimped.   

ALWAYS READY !!!

Look at this one ;=)

My EDC for this week.

My EDC for a while now. In Chrome Vanadium.....I love it!!

That's a good lookin' little CV 'nut ya got there, Craig! It looks brand spankin' new!

Thanks Ron! It is brand spankin' new....sort of....got it a few weeks ago!

Beautiful bone, Ron!

Indeed, it is beautiful bone. I wish it belonged to me. But this baby rides in my friend Craig Henry's pocket.

Yeah, it's MY knife, don't give it to Ron! He has plenty of knives of his own! LOL!

I'm still carrying Mr. Peanut down there. I'm in love with Mr. Peanut. His CV is sooo nice.

I know you love it now, but how will you feel in 6220 days?

Like I need a case of Peanuts.

Case has a 5220 in brown that looks pretty good.  You might think about whether your little guy might be lonely and need a companion.

Nice Steve!

very nice

That looks like it should be able to handle just about anything!

I am sure we will be seeing some info on the adventures of that whale of an Orca.  If Hog likes for an EDC, it must really be something

The other day I went shooting w family and buddy and this is my EDC gear on my person.

Nice Jeremi....

Boy, that really is a whale of a knife! A killer whale, at that!

Nice lookin' knife! And a great pic, too!

At least I bought me a Curtis Nano not a custom but a production version from Boker. I love it nice small EDC build like a tank.

Nice Patrik!

O yes Steve you can this knife a outstanding worker has a perfect gimping or striation's on the top of the blade where you can lock your thumb. I will post a demo vid on you-tube soon. 

going to post this twice. once here because I finally got the matched set of edc knives that I have been wanting. Deep canyon chestnut bone backpocket and a matching swayback jack. Both case knives.

Wowsa, Lee! Those are both gorgeous looking knives! Those deep canyon scales are just about perfectly matched. They look like two pups from the same litter! I have been a fan of the Backpocket for a while. But that Swayback Jack looks really nice, too! I may have to get my hands on one of those!

Cheers, mate - thanks for sharing your matched set!

Thanks Ron I got real lucky got them both from different places and at different times.. both off of the net too. lol

Sweet Lee!  I like!

Lee, One word:envious.

Jim

That Deep Canyon looks great!!

My new EDC is this one now. (My peanut won't talk to me now)

Wowsa! Craig, what is that? Like a barn-board-bone, or sumthin'? Sure is purty, whatever it is!

Real nice Craig.  I would say it is a modified Stockman.  I like the scales too.  Barn wood would be my description as well Ron.

Case calls it "Sawcut Antique Bone". Very old timey looking. More pictures of this one and the bigger Stockman in it here -
