At the moment, it's a tossup between a black blade para 1 which I use at home or the blue stretch which I carry outside the house.

Mini-Ritter Griptillian
I have and love a Titanium/G10 CPM M4 Millie that I love, love, love. But I don't pocket it quite as much as I used to. It's a big knife. Not bad with jeans, but perhaps not the best for dress pants or shorts. Great knife but I tend to baby it a little.
So most of the time, I end up EDCing my Doug Ritter mini-RSK which is basically an upgraded Benchmade Mini-Grip. The blade is more of a traditional drop point with a hybrid cross between a normal saber grind and a FFG grind, which produces a pretty good slicer that retains a lot of blade strength. Doug also puts a mean stonewashed finish on the balde and uses S30V for blade material. Plus the mini-grips not only have really comfortable handles, but full steel liners and the wonderful axis lock.
If this sounds like an advertisement, I'd demur. I think the FFG Delica's are a lot more bang for the buck, as the mini-Ritter is almost double the cost, but since the mini-Ritter was given as a gift, I have no guilt loving the knife for what it is, rather than doing value-comparisons. At any rate, it's a darn near perfect lighter weight EDC, and lots of fun to play with the axis lock.
But all of that said, perhaps my most used EDC is a humble Ladybug 3. What can I say, it's size is proportionate to the smaller tasks I usually encounter, it raises absolutely no eyebrows amongst non-knife people, and the VG-10 blade is easy to keep sharp. Love it and am heartily eager to get my hands on the FFG version in british racing green scales and ZDP-189 blade.

my spyderco ambitious is my everyday blade, its light, has great ergonomics, really comfy :D and SHARP, i use it for all my blade needs. then i have my victorinox cybertool 41, its basically my pocket toolbox., when im at school, i have permission to use my victorinox classic sd in the 4 of my technology classes, its not as big and ''offensive'' as my other knives but i only use it really for graphics and technology where i have to model replica houses and stuff. :D

:spyder: I use my waved rescue more than any other blade for actual utility cutting. Most of my spydies I carry for MBC/protection. I also dig out my leatherman quite a bit. :spyder:

I've EDC'd a D2 Para since they first came out... however long ago that was. These day's a Ti M4 Millie is giving it a little competition. Apart from that my oldest regular would be my Caly Jr :p
