The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Amen Craig. ED stands for "Every Day". To me that means you are actually carrying the knife for a long time and not just a day or two. If you only carrying the knife a day or two it isn't an EDC. A knife you carry for a short time is a TSP (today's Show Piece) If it is a piece you rotate it is RCK (Rotating Carry Knife) and if it is something you carry for special occasions its FEC (Functional Eye Candy). And in my book all of these options are perfectly acceptable. It is just an EDC is something that by definition is carried and used on a daily basis in the course of your daily activities for a long period of time.
Now if Craig, a Stockman lover swapped out his stockman every day for a different knife he be a Every Day Stockman Carrier (EDSC) with a RCK. What can I say, I feel like creating acronyms tonight!
Case 18 pattern medium stockman in yellow delrin.
I think I understand.....at least the EDSC part. LOL! Or is it EDBSC - Every Day Bone Stockman Carry? Or EDCBSC - Every Day Case Bone Stockman Carry? My head hurts.
Those are nice, interesting scales. Personally I think I prefer the look of the Ironwood scales that normally come on them. But this is certainly unique!
The ironwood is nice but I caught the clip on the arm of my chair. Instead of the wire bending it spun under the clip screw. This force cracked the ironwood. After that I couldn't use the clip. So I decided to make my own scales. Since then I've had dymondwood, G-10, micarta and the kirinite scales on this knife. The black micarta really looks good with the silver bolsters. I still have the ironwood scales and you can't see the crack but you can't use the clip. I don't use a clip with this knife half the time anyway.

Cool. That's a shame about the ironwood scales. Like I said though the Kirinite is very unique. I kind of like it.
I've been playing with making scales for about a year and really like it. If you are interested the kirinite is only on USAknifemakers.com. Search "kirinite" and see all the different color patterns. I like it as a handle material but you need to want a knife that is bright when you use this stuff. :) I think it's also being used for pistol grips.
