Here are my latest 3 carry knives, although the Hundred Pacer at the top doesn't get carried as much and I plan to sell/trade it. The Caribbean in the middle is great for times where I don't want to have the slightest concern for potential rust like fishing or beach trips, but my recently acquired Swayback on the bottom has been a surprisingly good practical carry knife.

My newest and probably going to be my EDC knife going forward is a Hinderer XM-18 with a slicer grind and OD scales. The knives that have gotten the most carry time in my rotation are a G10 large Griptilian or a Spyderco large Valloton. I’ve been searching for an XM-18 or Jurassic from Hinderer for quite a while and finally had the stars line up to acquire this one. I pulled a never carried/used Strider SMF (1st Gen.) out for a size comparison.

I can't post photos, but you guys all know what my knives look like.
Today I carried my Zero Tolerance 0022. Yesterday was my 0450.

I liked the red too. Meanwhile, I swapped scales from a Gen 4 to my newest.
I was going to order another Monkey Frag scale from Monkey Edge for the new one, but it looks like they only have a few blah colors left in stock. Here's some on one of my Gen 5s.

Smooth stonewashed titanium Hinderer scale arrived. Absolutely changed the action on the bearings for the better. Completely smoothed it out.
