For me it's simple. 90% of the time I'm rollin' with a Paramilitary.
The other 10% of the time I alternate between a Navigator II PE, Blue SE ATS-55 Delica 3, MOPA Kopa, Boker Trance, Salt 1 SE or PE, Centofante 4, Military, Harpy SE, and Tenacious PE or SE.

I live in a rain forest biome, which means rare is the day when I don't see a raincoat... and which also means, when I'm outside, it's GOTTA be H1.
Rock Salt -- Favored hiking knife, and salmon-processing knife
Aqua Salt -- Close second for favored hiking knife, also great for oil spill response / boat stuff
Pacific Salt -- Best all-around folder for the woods, as well as for oil spill response / fishing, and boat stuff
Caspian Salt -- great boat knife, and back-up hiker
S30V CF Mili -- for handling chores around the apartment, kitchen, or office... favorite folder for the Zambian bush
Sage -- Favorite dress / office knife
Dragonfly ATS-55 -- Favorite little big knife
I'm still waiting for:
-- Chokwe folder
-- Some sort of H1 Dress Knife

Still the very first Spyderco I bought....C78 Native III, Plain Edge.
Looking forward to getting my hands on the new Native IV. The specs on this one look to make for the perfect EDC...for me anyway.

It's better to have knife and not need it than to need a knife and not have it.

Right now? Black E4 in back pocket and Orange Ladybug in front. I guess I don't really need the E4 in there, considering I work in an office, but I like it. I have a Wenger PTC on my keychain, too.
Current collection: Black PE Millie, Yellow SE Tasman, Black E4 PE FRN, Yeller Pacific Salt PE, SS Dragonfly PE, Orange FRN Ladybug, Black UKPK
Wishlist: Syderhawk Salt, non-green Rocklobster :)

Hmmm...
My Dear Friends,
Oddly enough, for someone who started out carrying the Harpy every day I have gravitated towards something a bit smaller - the stainless Cricket PE.
The Cricket rides surreptitiously in the watch pocket of my jeans, out of the way of my primary SD blade and my Glock 27. It is tiny, unobtrusive, razor-sharp, and elicits no reaction from even the most seasoned knife-phobes (unless I open it with a Spyder-drop, but that's another matter entirely. :D ).
It is the one knife I am never without.
Of course, in fairness, my yellow-handled Tasman Salt PE is always so close to me being clipped to my carry bag that I might as well be carrying it in my pocket!

The two Spydies that are always with me are the D4 Wave (RF pocket) and the FG Manix sprint run (LF pocket), sometimes I add a Dodo or Tasman to the mix, but the Manix and D4W are permanent fixtures
a Byrd Wings and a Native ride shotgun in my laptop bag, the Native's a beater/loaner, and the Wings is there in case I need a SE blade
I have been contemplating customizing a couple of Enduras though, get a Lone Wolf Glock Armorer's E4, and a SE E4 Wave, and swap blades and lockbars, having a Serrated, Waved E4 with the Glock armorer's punch....

Cricket
A cricket of course. SE. Larger knives just don't give me any more than I have with my cricket for a EDC. It is the best compromise between size and ability. IMHO.
