I carry a couple for utility since I work in the mechanical industry, lots of wire stripping, cutting wire ties, opening boxes, etc.

Little baby Case canoe

large Case trapper on the belt

Spyderco Ladybug on the keyring

large Ritter Griptilian on the pocket

I like Spyderco's a lot. Endura was my EDC, then a carbon fiber Police, large Sebenza for a bit, the Ritter has been my EDC for a couple years now.

The wife liked my Ritter so she has a small pink scale Griptilian of her own. The only knife I've ever bought her that she actually carries.

Kershaw Blur, plain edge.

It rotates thru these...

Used to EDC an Emerson Commander.

Started carrying a Kershaw Blur after seeing so many on SF have one. I really like it. Weight savings over the Commander. Also the clip is closer to the end so it doesn't stick up what seems like an inch in the pocket like the Emerson.

I just lost my Kershaw Mini Cyclone, which I carried every single day for three years. I honestly feel like my dog died...It was the ultimate EDC for me and I'm ordering another one from newgraham(if it's in stock) tonight. For 50$ it's amazing...Almost like carrying a nice kitchen knife that doubles as a prybar...The blade shape is so good, for so many things...DAMN!

Based on DocSolo's recommendation, I picked up one of these at a show this past weekend. Great knife! I am thoroughly impressed. The matte aluminum scales have a real nice feel to them.

The little on/off switch to activate/deactivate the spring-assisted opening is ingenious. Nice to know I have the option to turn it off if I'm in an area where LE will give me grief about carrying an assisted opener.

My only complaint is that it's a little heavy for a medium size knife. It weighs 4.4 oz, which is the same as my BlackBerry Curve. I guess I would prefer if both grip scales were drilled to accept the pocket clip.

These were last made in 2008 and discontinued for 2009, so get them while they're still out there. Solid knife by a solid company.

Benchmade 722SBT Mel Pardue model

love it

Primarily carry a G10 Leek, Sebenza Classic, or Blur. I may on occasion carry an Ultratech.

Kershaw NRG in the back pocket and a Spyderco Ladybug on the keychain. Occasionally, I'll swap out the NRG for a Benchmade Griptilian or a Kershaw Blur.

Boker Trance. Keep it clipped inside my belt, don't even know its there.

Currently I'm carrying a Benchmade 710D2, Leatherman Blast in it's sheath on my belt, and a Case Amber Bone Medium Stockman. That's the usual loadout with the Case being the favorite. Every now and then I toss in a small Bear lockback that has sentimental value to it.

I've got a bunch of them, but about 90% of the time I carry a three bladed stockman. My favorite one is this:


Which one I carry depends on which one I grab, though. I have a bunch of knives.

I rotate a couple but for me its mainly a Spyderco Native (most of the time), a Kershaw Blur, and a Benchmade 950 Rift

Benchmade mini-grip, plain edge satin finish. Its not actually in my pocket. I’ve removed the pocket clip and carry it in a pouch on my belt.

I do that to any knife I get that has one. I take off the little flipping thing, too. They usually screw out.

I recently got a Kershaw Leek stainless, plain edge that I like a lot. Very handy and comfortable to carry.

Nothing will replace my Victorinox Tinker though. The times I've misplaced it for more than 24 hrs made me feel sick.

Those are the EXACT same two knives I carry on me daily.

Spyderco Endura4 waved
Spyderco P'Kal

Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn

mostly the meadowlark at work, and the endura4 and p'kal on the street and at home

I carry all of the following on occassion:

Benchmade 910SBK Stryker
Benchmade 635 Mini Skirmish
Benchmade 14205 HK Axis
Benchmade 520 Presidio

I also recently added a new Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage. Love My Benchmades and Spyderco. I just have more access to Benchmade dealers. I won't buy or carry anything I can't handle before hand.
