Outdoor/EDC/Survival blades

I forgot to show that! It's anodized blue, the same color as the liner lock

 

That really is a thing of beauty. But would you use it in the rough old world out there? I think I'd be wanting to keep it pristine.

Or perhaps the materials and finish are actually really tough?

 

Except for the blade, it's pretty much all grade 5 titanium, so fairly robust and a lot more scratch resistant than grade 2. Definitely more of a city life EDC knife. If I go out into the woods or something, I will carry my Spyderco Para 3. I had never had a custom/semi-custom knife before, so I just bought this on a whim as a "beautiful thing".

 

Which requires no other justification. A lovely thing to own
