Default New EDC Blade

Gail noticed I haven't been feeling up to par and found a wish list that I didn't really want her to know about.

On the list was a blade I've been interested in for some time.

I've been carrying a Spyderco Sage Carbon for a couple of years, but really wanted its more expensive brother, the Sage Titanium. Never did want to spend the $$, though.

Today Gail handed me a Titanium.

The two are exactly the same size, but the Titanium is a Chris Reeve Liner Lock. This knife is just two slabs of titanium with a blade between them, bronze bearings, three screws, and a wire clip.

Very light, very strong, very discrete and concealable. As you can see from the pics, the clip ends way up at the top of the knife, so very little shows in your pocket. In my view, the perfect EDC blade.

Here's some pics of the two alongside each other.

I sent my Flash I with aluminum handle through a complete wash and dry cycle. It came out clean and dry. They are great knives.
