Picture of the Day No 287 "Also an EDC"

What I have on my person may differ a little from most people's "EDC". This is, among other things, what I will be carrying today. The fact is that these are, without a doubt, the knives that are used the most in terms of hours. Or is there anyone who beats the sixty hours I used my throwing knives last month?

I have decided to spend the afternoon throwing knives. The weather is the deciding factor at the moment. It's important to get out while you can, as all adults told you when you were little. Back then, I thought they were stupid. Now I know better. After the sun comes rain. At least if you live in the area of ​​Växjö like me. One of Sweden's rainiest cities in fierce competition with Borås. People from southern Europe and California won't understand what I'm talking about.

But Tuesday has come in all it's supergray november splendor, and I have half the day off. So I will soon be headed to the VAIS cottage in Fylleryds-forest, where Växjö Sportkastning (Växjö Sports Throwing) and I are now based.

"Also an EDC"

In the picture you see, in addition to a folding knife from Civivi, a throwing knife from Zitoon Knives. The pocket knife is called Clingman and is a small thing that can possibly be sorted into the "modern traditionals" category, even though it is more modern than traditional in my opinion. Micarta handle, a recurve clip point blade in Nitro-V, a liner lock and then the package is rounded off with a milled titanium clip. Not bad for a fairly cheap knife.

The other knife has got new "clothes" in the form of my latest leather sheath. It is made to be carried mostly for cross-draws with the right hand, but can also be carried as a "scout carry" at the lower back. I also put simple leather pads on the handle to improve the grip when it is to be drawn quickly. Throwing knives should never have any more advanced material in the handle; it can be added. They simply break.

The model is made with the same silhouette as a Fairbairn Sykes commando dagger and is a tribute to those who fell on D-Day. The name is therefore Dague commémorative. A knife that is excellent for half-spin techniques in particular, but also works excellently for rotational throwing.

/ J - soon on my way...
