Hey Tony,

I carry my CoPilot every day as a money clip except when I fly now. I got it back in 1988 from a now defunct mall cutlery chain by the name of "Hoffritz" It is quite pocket worn, but there is no side play. It has brass liners and has gone back Golden CO once for a blade tip touch-up. Here are some pics:

My old SE Endura ('97 or so) does get an occasional carry but most of the time it rides in the glovebox with a flashlight as backup.

My first Spyderco was a ladybug and I lost it soooo quickly.
In December I bought a Delica 4 and it's long since been kicked out of my pocket but goes everywhere inside my backpack

I still carry mine on occasion. It rides in my shaving kit on trips most of the time. Its an Endura III CE with black blade. Most of the coating is worn off due to rough use in the dirt and sand while landscaping and working on the nursery. I just remember being so impressed with how long the combo edge kept cutting rope and strap.

Hands down my favorite. Took mine on deployment and served me well. Only wish it was a tad bigger. As for my first spyderco. Lost it at a town festival. Oh well.

I don't carry it but I still use it. The Resilience.
Don't mess with the Spyder because you think you're fly.

Isn't that ironic? :)

I recently sharpened up my Gen 1 Endura, and it still gets occasional pocket time when I'm somewhere that I can get away with that long of a blade. Not bad for a knife that I've owned for a decade and a half!

I knew I was going to be cutting some climbing rope last weekend so I swapped out my Caly for a Rescue, my first Spydie. Plastic clip and AUS8 steel. Cut though the rope in one swipe.
