Four models that I regularly carry are:

1. Massad Ayoob. Fully serrated.
2. Police. old design full flat grind, G-10.
3. Lil' Temperance. "Rhino" blade plain edge.
4. Standard. Fully serrated, G-10.

All great designs.

A Spyderco Rescue Clipit. I bought it used and the spyder edge is still going strong after 15+ years.

It's not a Spyderco, but it's what I carried the longest.... a Gerber Ridge I carried for around 3 years before I wore it out and got into higher-quality knives. I kind of miss it, though.

Surprisingly, even with my love for the Paramilitary, I have carried a Salt I more than anything else. Either a black or yellow PE model. Sometimes I carry a SE but mostly it's a PE.

So yeah......Salt I.

Don't carry it anymore, but did carry an old Worker for many years. Now, I guess a Jess Horn CE in Aus8 is oldest carried with any regularity.

I love these knives
+1 on this :D

Also in combination with:
Kopa (Cocobolo or black micarta)
Ladybug FRN SE or S/S PE

Other usual suspects are also involved but not as often as these ones.

Yrs from now, its going to be the Stretch II & S90v CF Millie. :D
They have been stealing the show this past year, and for the foreseeable future.

I've been carrying my D4W for almost a year, now. I think 6/11 marks the date.

Wow, has it been a whole year since I discovered Spyderco and this great forum?! :D Time flies when you're having fun and collecting Spydies.

Being quite new to Spyderco, I'd have to say probably the longest carryI have is my SS Ladybug on the keys. In pocket, the Barong has been pretty hard to bump since I got it.

I've had an imitation Byrd in my pocket since '03. The key to it staying there more than anything is it's light weight (linerless 'salt-style') If it were heavy, I would notice it and it would distract me. It's soon to be replaced, I've orderd a black-on-black Pacific Salt, but my main need is to cut those plastic zip-ties (I don't know what you call them in Nth America..I've heard them refered to in jest as Isreali Hand-cuffs :) ) For that task a SE hawkbill would be best, (in realisty a pair of clippers would be best but I can't carry them around all day) so I'm looking at a Yellow Tasman Salt to be the new 'old faithful' EDC

I'm still fairly new to Spyderco and knives in general, but I carried my Delica 4 CE basically every day for six months. It's not constantly in the pocket since I got my Tenacious, but it's still a frequent companion.
