What is your most used edc blade,any brand!

HI All,
I'm asking, because I always revert to the Delica, of which I have Many.
Lately I have been carrying the Endura, all black combo edge which I am desperately trying to get used to. I love the looks and heft of it, compared to the Delica, but I don't usually carry that big of a blade for edc and it is a little less people friendly than the Delica, especially, in all black.
Up until about 2 years ago I exclusively carried an Al Warren Custom D4 in stag, lockback. I love it, the S30V blade is great, but it's just not a one handed easily deployed Spyderco. Even My custom Warren Osborne lockback doesn't do it for Me anymore. Anyone else lose interest in customs, only to be able to buy More Spyderco's?
Love to hear Your thoughts! Feel free to send Friend request, as I am fairly new to this forum. Thank You all for making this such an interesting forum to hang at!
Loving it Here!

Stretch for me. I've had one version or another of it in my pocket probably 75% of the time since the original SS/Kration ones first came out in November of 2004.

I tend to change my EDCs every couple of months. Been carrying a BobT and an older Elishewitz custom for about 2 months now. No, I have not lost interest in custom knives at all. In fact, I have occasionally thought of not buying any production knives at all so I could afford one more really nice custom a year.

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

I have been packing a benchmade 722 for something like 12 years now. I have and use others but it has worked for me for so long that nothing else really feels right. I picked up an endura in zdp-189 but I got the SE when I should have goten a PE, I just seem to need a smooth cutting surface more than I thought I would. My old BM is a combo edge but the serations are worn down really far. When I got the 722 ATS-34 was great steel but now that I have zdp-189 and S90V I see that I have been missing out.
I guess in a perfect world I would have the 722 with an s90v FFG PE blade but thats just not likely to happen unless I become a machinest in my spare time.
Now that the Mules are in the picture I am having a blast using new steels I have never even heard of.
I am addicted to the axis lock, I just wish BM would get with the times and use some of the cutting edge steels that spyderco is pampering us with! More s90v please!

I have started carrying my delica again after trying the sage, caly 3 cf, para d2, military, endura and manix 2. I like the light weight and frn handles of the delica, plus it's the right size for my uses. I still like my other spydercos, but for me the delica is about the best. I just wish it had a wire clip and deep carry.
Well, on my keychain (in other variations there since the 1980's):

So I guess this is my "real" EDC blade...
But there's always a Spydie in RFP; right now, I try to keep myself from carrying anything but this one:

Before that, I EDC'd the same blade you mentioned (Endura, all black combo edge):

The size is just right for my tastes, Delica can be just a tad too small for me sometimes. CE is perfect for EDC carry (at least in a knife of that size), and the black coating wears nicely, giving the blade a cool "used" look that makes it really yours. I love it! Only downside is that it can never slice as well as a FFG blade (like the Stretch that I carry right now). Give it some time, it will grow on you.

My most used edc is a kershaw leek that I have been carrying for a little more than 4 years. I love that blade. I put that little blade through some work and it pulled through just fine. The only thing is you have to be careful and break the fine tip off of it.
There are a few others I carry, but now I just carry a CE Delica which fits my needs perfectly. But! I am still looking for that perfect pocket blade. So I guess that means I will to buy more Spydercos. Lol

Easily the most carried, most used, and most played with knife I own is my Delica 4 with CE. Before that is was a Delica 98 model.
Every once in a while I'll carry something else, like a Ti UKPK at work, Military, Para, Sebenza or small Sebenza, and sometimes a Mini Grip.
I have a few "yard work" knives like a RAT1 folder and some Byrds or a BM Mini Pika.
The Delica 4 takes it though. 95% of the time, that's what's in my pocket. Just the right feel and size for me.
