Do you actually EDC your favorite knife or...?

[gingerninja]

My current favorite is my 204p military, I've been carrying it pretty much since I got it. I wasn't really into bigger knives but just can't keep this piece of awesomeness out of my pocket.

[Bloke]

Sometimes I pair a SE Tasman Salt with one of my favorites. It's compact, super light, and rips through anything. I'll use it for things I wouldn't cut with some of my nicer folders.

Funny you should say that, because I don't own a Salt or a Hawkbill or a SE, so I've actually been looking and the Tasman SE Hawkbill.

I think I can hear one beckoning! :rolleyes:

[Bloke]

Apologies, double!

[kbuzbee]

Absolutely. Life is too short not to. CF Balance, every day. Some days I'll add something else but that Balance does countless tasks all day long.

Favorites get carried, grails on the other hand don't (with some exceptions).

[Doc Dan]

I do carry my favorite knives. I have more expensive, and perhaps, prettier knives, but I prefer a regular old grey Delica, followed by a G10 DF or a Manbug. I use these and carry these more than any other knives I own.

[dplafoll]

My favorite is my Mantra, which I carry a lot. However, I really enjoy all of my knives. I've not been in a financial position to buy knives without a lot of consideration and usually for special occasions like birthdays. So my collection is pretty highly curated. Recently the Nirvana has gotten a lot of pocket time, because Nirvana.

[tvenuto]

I would say yes. The delica is my favorite design, which is why it was my answer to the "5 years 1 knife" question. I definitely have others I love with cool factor, amazing design, impressive F&F, or sentimental value. But the good old FRN Delica 4 is carried IWB by me 300 days a year, and I'd have to say it's my favorite.

[SF Native]

No. Due to local knife laws I'm often carrying my dice, pits, pingo, or chubby. I'm fond of them, but I'm carrying them based on blade length.
Not sure if I have a favorite.

[paladin]

Absolutely. Life is too short not to. CF Balance, every day. Some days I'll add something else but that Balance does countless tasks all day long.

Ken, you're still rockin that Balance?

You truly are a fan of the design! :cool:

Have you tried a Schempp Khuk. or his Equilibrium?

[LC Kid]

Hi Folks!


Absolutely YES! :D

What's the point of having a favorite EDC blade and not EDC it? :rolleyes:

My regular combo are the Slysz Bowie & Techno & Green Lime SE Jester :spyder:

I have few favorites. My most favorite still 2013 Forum Native.
For about a year and half my job included opening boxes, which were closed using fiberglass reinforced tape. So there were a lot of sharpening and the blade got shorter, lost belly and spine brought down at least few times. So the blade doesn't look as good as it used to be and still my hand grabbing this knife. It is IWB now.
I also carrying G10/VG10 Caly3.5 3-4 day every week, Ti Fluted N5 and Caly3 ZDP189 couple times. Grey Jester is on my key-chain every day.
I also carry ZT562CF mostly on weekends

Man, those Grey Jesters were super nice. I kind of regret not stocking up on those when they were still more abundant. :o It would be sweet to see another G-10 Jester Sprint. :D

[NoFair]

The Military (my favorites are the CF ones) doesn't normally get carried at work or in the city center due to regulations, but everything else gets carried. Been carrying one of the CF Walkers the last 10 days when the Millie has been a bit too large...

[wrdwrght]

If some favorite version of a Manix2 or PM2 isn't in my RFP, I better have a reason for it. Invariably, I just want pocket time with other Spydies I have bought and kept because I like them. These departures from the norm are only occasional. I do play favorites.

Great Jester was my second Jester. The first was burgundy micarta. I bought it a long time after it was discontinued and paid accordingly, so I never was able to bring myself up to carry it. I didn't buy grey Jester right away. With price tag $60+ for such little knife I was hesitant to pull the trigger. After I bought it, I started to regret that I bought only one. But price was already $100+.
So I am all for another run. If Spyderco will make FRN is the color I like, I certainly will buy few for gifts.

Yes, another FRN run of the Jester would be great! Hey, I would mind an H1 Jester too. The Burgundy Jester is one of my favorites. Great little knife.

[Skaaphaas]

Yes. But that's because I only own one Spyderco at the moment.

I have other knives. Since I got my PM2 they've been thrown at the back of the drawer.

[Water Bug]

Yes, I do EDC my favorite :spyder:s. I buy knives with the intent of using them... and whatever :spyder: happens to be clipped to my pocket could very well get used.

[MacLaren]

Yes. I carry em all.
I just tend to be a little more careful with my favorites.
