I think there will be more to come..kwaiken in general.
Today though- quickly becoming a favorite at work, the Pro-Tech Rockeye.
Little CRKT Minimalist up top and a custom folder below. Pictured with my Ropp J10. I’ve had this CRKT for many years now and it’s preformed very well. It gets used and abused. The folder a friend gave me for a birthday one year. The maker was a mutual friend of ours. He no longer makes knives. 
I have always loved MacGyver (with Richard Dean Anderson) and so for the past 20+ years have carried the Swiss Army Climber in my pocket; as this was a favorite of his as depicted in the show. It is a solid all around knife with a variety of useful tools, and has served me well in a variety of situations. Although I have yet to diffuse an explosive device with the knife. 
Is there a drooling emoji ?
Another small slip joint today. It's a custom by knife maker S. Buzek, which used bowling ball material to craft its scales.
So, Ebonite?
Most balls are polyurethane I think.. yet there's the brand Ebonite.
Maxace Peregrine today- that's copper carbon fiber for the inlay.
Castello KK 10, LW Seecamp 32 acp
And a Spyderco Delica Glow in the Dark while heading into town.

I have no idea what it is. I bought the knife directly from the maker at a knife show, and all he told me about the knife was that it was made from a bowling ball. I didn't enquire any further. The steel is S30V. Wouldn't ebonite oxidize? This one didn't.

Seriously one of the best knives ever made. I’ve had and lost a dozen of them over the years. Been thinking about getting one of the autos
is a result of using it over time and the stress that exerts on certain components that keep the blade centered? Can the blade play be corrected?
I just got my first OTF and it’s rock solid for now, but given the price I really expect some longevity and serviceability.
MY kit today is watch city stubb’s pipe in a MM cob, and an Aging Room Quattro Espressivo, which could’ve benefitted from some more time in the aging room IMO
Couple classics right there.Seriously one of the best knives ever made. I’ve had and lost a dozen of them over the years. Been thinking about getting one of the autos
I've heard the newest generation of Microtechs are super solid.
Good to know be cause I like mine so much I was thinking about getting 2 more for my friends. I also want one of the Dirac models of theirs for me, which is where the switch is on the face of the grip, not the edge. Just waiting to see one spec’d how I want it…which makes me wonder are these things wildly popular and Microtech is having trouble meeting demand? Many of the models I was looking at are sold out. This thread makes me poor. I bought this the same day as the knife above after seeing all these great specimens.
