      Winkler Recon in maple. I've wanted a Winkler for a while. I'm not a collector or anything and don't have much to compare to but the quality is more than impressive, including the sheath. She's a beaut.

          I know some of the guys involved with the Wingman EDC project and they are good people. They are doing legit collaborations with the makers like Tom, not just ripping off their designs.

          I have two Mayo customs that I EDC and a Buck 172 TNT that I take when traveling by airplane (not lately!). I love his ergonomic designs and the simplicity of his designs.

          While I have a custom Dr. Death and a Black Ops, those don't get used as they are part of the collection for posterity and pretty valuable at this point.

          I've thought of getting one of the Wingman EDCs to have a Dr. Death Jr. for factor that I could carry and not worry about the value diminishing too much due to wear and tear.

          The Mayo customs I already EDC have been carried for years, so resale value is not a big consideration (TMX and Medium TNT).

            I have no experience with customs but I can tell you that I love my MDDK, especially for the kick off.

            The size is a perfect gentlemen's edc. I can wear it in a suit pocket and it disappears. But I can still wear it with shorts as well. its a very versatile knife.

            If I'm going to be drinking a lot I take my Leek instead haha, Just in case something gets lost, but that's about it.

            Let me know if you ever get a deal on Mayo custom and need someone to take it off your hands. I know it's a stretch but it's worth a shot. Cheers buddy.

              So, while I was shooting the pics above, I thought I'd gather all my Mayo goodness for a family shot:

              [IMG][/IMG]

              The top four are unique in that the Dr. Death (top knife) has a CF front side with Mosaic pins and a Stellite 6K blade. The next two down are the new Covert and a Black Ops, so both completely non magnetic. #4 is a true TNT as it has Titanium scales and a Talonite blade.

              Below that is a TMX and a TNT with steel blade and hardware. Those two are my user Mayos. The TNT more than the TMX. I am lucky to be able to carry some custom knives mostly hand made by a friend that I can count on even if things get rough. I've got a t-shirt from Tom with the logo "Rockhardtoolsdesguised as art". It's a true statement!

              The bottom three are Mayo collaborations with Buck Knives. probably the nicest modern folding knives Buck has ever made. The top one is a Buck 172CFSLE. Basically a limited production Mayo TNT design with a CF presentation scale and an S30V blade. It's perhaps the coolest production knife I own. The Buck 172 series is based on the same profile as the TNT I carry and the new Covert I just got. Under that is a plain Buck 172 with Ti scales and an S30V blade. It's my preferred knife for airline travel as it's cool, useful and I wouldn't be heartbroken if it got stolen from my checked bag like I would with a real Mayo custom. The bottom knife is a Buck Mayo 171 which is a mini version of his 25th anniversary Bowie. It's a cute little knife with a 2.5" S30V blade, so still a useful knife in places where size is an issue.

                    Bought my boy a Victorinox Swiss Army Camper pocketknife. He can have it for the rest of his life.
