EDFU - my take on a daily user utility

[JTW Jr.]

Just a few I finished up recently , the tan G10 one I made for myself , about time I started carrying one of my own.

First model I have named also , EDFU ( you choose Every Day Fixed Utility ) or Every Day Friggin User....

Specs on all the EDFU's are pretty close , I don't make patterns so each one is a slight bit different from the others ( never could color inside the lines in school either ).

These were all made from D2 , Paul Bos Heat Treat .

Steel: .152 thick D2 with Paul Bos Heat Treat
Average OAL: 6 5/8"
Blade: 2.75" to 3" ( I try to keep it just under 3" )
Finish: 400 grit hand finish on the blades and 320 grit on the scales ( to provide plenty of grip ).

First one is my daily user , scales are only sanded to 220 grit , I like em to stay grippy when wet. Made this last month to take on my vacation to Pittsburgh.





Shown here with a couple others I been carrying lately.

I make the kydex setup for tec-lok's ( which I dont have any of ) or carry static carry in the pocket with paracord. Either way works well.



This one is in green micarta.





this one , close to the one above , but has red liners under the green micarta.

That's a handy looking little critter! Pretty too.

Nice job, John.

Thanks... I am hoping to do a run of these in 1095 soon , as well as in ATS-34.
