Top 5 knives you actually carry

[bearfacedkiller]

S30V Shaman
Cruwear Military
Maxamet Native5LW
Caplifter Clipitool
S110V Para2

[David R]

In no particular order:

Chaparral
Sage 1
Para 3 Cru Wear
Native S90V
Buck Vantage S35VN with Micarta scales (started out as 20CV - steel is too soft so I swapped in an S35 blade)

[Mattysc42]

I’m not going to list steels because I alternate every day. I’m not listing my caribbean because it has blade play that is getting worse, so I’m holding off on using it until I can visit the SFO to get it tuned up. My most carried models are:

1) Shaman
2j Manix XL
3) Manix LW
4) Native LW
5) Raffir Noble Chapparel

I usually carry knives in pairs, using one tough and easy to sharpen steel, and one high carbide steel. Manix XL with Manix LW, Shaman with Native LW, etc.

[PStone]

1)Native5-(fluted cf w/Maxamet swap)
2)Wolfspyder
3)VToku Endura
4)StNicks red/black Delica
5)M4 brown g10 PM2 (another swap)

3,4,and 5 change often. But 1 and 2 will never alter. :spyder:

Not counting fixed blades, I guess these are the ones that presently see the most carry and use.

I've been carrying my Fallkniven LTC in 3G (supergold) in my watch pocket lately, mostly to get a feel for it and decide if I want to take that or my Urban as a travel knife this summer. I think if I can get the AEB-L urban it will take that spot, though, just to try AEB-L, which I have basically zero experience with.

[JD Spydo]

I actually have about 12 of them that I rotate from time to time. But I'll narrow it down to 5. And I'll try to include companion blades to my main EDCs.
(1) M390 Military
(2) C-60 Ayoob
(3) JD Smith
(4) Spyderhawk
(5) Stainless handled ATS-55 RESCUE

There are two I use in the kitchen almost daily
AUS-8 full SE Catcherman
TEMPERANCE 1 ( PE & SE) none of these listed knives could I do without at this point

PM2 in 52100
Manix 2 LW in Maxamet
Police 4 in K390
Military in Rex 45
Endura in VG10

[Wartstein]

For 2019 so far probably in that order:

1. Stretch 1 /VG10
2. Stretch 1/HAP40
3. Endura 4/VG10 (aftermarket Micarta scales)
4. Endura 4/ HAP40
5. PM2/S30V or Chap lw (can't say which one is number 5 concerning carry time)

[Nate]

Lately it's been,

-Baby Horn
-HH red g10 or maroon lw UKPK
-Blue PITS
-Chaparral lw
-Manbug Salt (lives on my keys)

I'll still grab larger blades (mainly PM2, Manix 2, Millie, or Sliverax) to fidgit with or when I'm doing yardwork, but they rarely leave the house unless I'm going camping or something.

I only carry one at a time tho!
Just got a Bradly 2 but only had it a day or two so too soon to tell... though I've carried it constantly since!

[Doc Dan]

I ofttimes carry two knives, so if I have a smaller knife, I have a larger one, as well; not always, but frequently.
