I hate to start one of these "The most......." type of threads, :p however, going through the EDC rotation, I paused and wondered "what if I should lose it?" as the micarta Dyad jnr was being clipped into the pocket for a walk in the country with the dogs.
It may not be ultra valuable, but I would certainly have a job to replace it. :eek:
So it has had me thinking for a couple of days, who here has the rarest or most valuable user? Now be honest, own up the man with an Anniversary Delica in the tackle box or a Klotzli Walker in the gun bag! :cool:
God bless,
Simon.

My dyad jr micarta and bone kiwi share the rotation for dropped carry.
Coffee before Conciousness Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements? Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.
They seem to be getting more valuable as time passes - I use a blue G-10 BladeForums Native PE as my EDC.

you guys are playing a dangerous game! :)
I can't carry a spydie that I can't find a replacement quick and cheap... and in fact I don't carry a spydie if there's not at least 1 more of the exact same one sitting in my drawer. :eek: (I know... :o )
I have recently started carrying my big C-44P&S Dyad EDC for about 3 weeks or so. With what they have been selling for on Ebay I guess I ruining a potential collectors item. I think that it's called: Stopping and smelling the Roses. :spyder:
Anniv. Delica in the tackle box?? I got the chills just thinking about it. I don't own any truly rare Spydies but I try to keep them clean as possible. I was gonna sell this serrated Green Lum but decided to use it and try to get a pe version when I get some extra cash. It's rode in my pocket the last couple of days. BTW, my big Dyad might be headed to the safe deposit box the way prices are going. :)
nothing feels quite as exhilerating as the mixed feeling of guilt and pleasure you get while using a really desireable :spyder: .
blue handled lum chinese, PE. :eek:
numbered smith, SE. :eek:
full-sized calypso, SE. :eek:
smith and calypso i acquired NIB and personally deflowered. :D
my yellow FRN, numbered, PE atlantic salt might be destined for future "rare/desireable/hard-to-find" status... but that doesn't stop me from carrying and using it.
matriarch and merlin and reverse s meerkat are discontinued, maybe never to be manufactured again... but i carry them all without regrets, and use the merlin and meerkat like crazy.
Most valuable would have to be the stainless Delica and Kiwi that Marcus Hunt engraved for me, rarest/hardest to replace would be a C27 Jess Horn. All get carried, all get used, although I am probably a bit more circumspect as to what I'll do with them than I am with my Stretch.
An aluminum police model usually finds it's way into my duty knife rotation.
On occasion a ti-handle Lum tanto.
I already lost one ti-lum while working and immediatly replaced it.

Here's a pic of the 2 I own. Sorry, my digital camera is far from the best :o The bottom one is my EDC, the top one stays in a display case. The EDC also came with a CF pattern Concealex neck sheath by Mike Sastre of River City Sheaths.

I'm using my C19P (Alu Bob T Jr PE) daily. It's getting scratched up real quickly now. One went on Ebay for $220 recently :rolleyes:
And I'm using my flat ground large regular Sebenza (signed by Chris Reeve, only +/- 130 made) very often for the bigger cutting jobs - it's also has scratches and dings everywhere. :D
Other 'rare' users are a PE G-10 Standard, CF Delica/Police, PE Starmate
I'm not sure how rare this is but I think Tuffram handles and G-2 steel is a great combination. This blade is my exclusive EDC and has been since I found it.
Long Live Tuffram
How's this: I carry a Diver clipped to my right BCD pocket while diving. I think the actual model name was the Pre-Diver- I also have a large and small Divers Probe. The folding diver is a great knife but I'm thinking the line cutter makes it expensive to produce. Think of a really beefy all-steel Mariner.
