What would be interesting is for anyone who cares to write down every day what they carry. Most people who read this forum have more than one knife so the choices they make on a daily basis might be interesting. Example: MONDAY; Manbug, Chaparral, GB. TUESDAY; Chaparral. Etc. If a few people (the more the metter) would do this then post the choiced after 30 days that might be interesting to someone who is considering buying ONE NICE KNIFE and only one for a pocket knife. Of course the ONE NICE KNIFE may turn into several. Then when someone reads this forum looking for information to buy one nice knife that they will use every day the choices of EDC from people who have multiple options would be invaluable. My problem is I have traded or sold knives I didn't EDC much leaving me with a small "set" that get carried a lot. The set is this:eric m. wrote:The poll needs alot more input to give an accurate graphic picture. 163 votes so far, and some people voted more than once!
Manbug
Dragonfly2
Sage4
Chaparral
Bradley Folder (GB)
I have a few other knives but these are the only constant EDC knives I own. But my "set" is so small no one could benifit from me writing down anything. But people with 10, 15 or more options in a drawer and only pick an EDC numbering at 5 or so specific knives would be helpful to someone else, maybe.
Just for grins if I chose only one from the above set it would be the Sage4. Legal in most places in the US. More than strong or big enough for any task I routinely come across for a pocket knife. My choice would be the GB except it is illegal (technically) in the state of FL I think. Where I live no one cares what pocket knife anyone carries if they use it properly. The reasons I wouldn't choose the others for "only one" is the Manbug and D'fly are too small for some tasks I have. So is the Chaparral. But the "most used" knife is the Chaparral. The perfect "set" to carry is the Manbug, Chaparral and GB.

PS
I still have a wish list of knives I'd like to get allthough I have no immediate plans to get one. Gotta get through Christmas and property taxes. :) But, thanks to this thread the Caly3 has just been added and very possibly added at the top of the list. If so many people with several choices pick the Caly(s) for EDC there must be something to the knife that isn't seen in a catalog.
