This is the scalpel MEK, for when your EDC tasks call for a blade with a bit more flexibility and slicing ability.
The MEK (Modern Everyday carry Kiridashi) is my take on the Japanese kiridashi; the small utility blade used in the hotsell region for thousands of years. Every day we encounter tasks like stripping wire, cutting against hard surfaces, or cutting through abrasive material that could damage or dull the blade of even the sturdiest knife. To solve this problem, the MEK uses a standard utility knife blade that can be easily replaced if it gets dull or chipped. The thin offset blade allows you to make accurate and precise cuts wherever you need to.
The body of my modern edc kiridashi is made from grade 5 titanium with stainless steel screws securing the blade and handle. Each MEK has a stonewashed finish and includes one blade, one allen wrench for changing the blade and handles, and your choice of either a black or natural leather pocket sheath.
Be sure to pick your choice of sheath color as well as optional belt loop and jimping or let me know if you would like something a little different.
