Wouldn't an obvious Bert and Ernie be a Delica and Endura?

That'd be me...!

I grab which ever one the hand needing it is close too, however and not really depending on sheeple. Usually alone and if around anyone most know I'm a cop so the "big knife" thing is not an issue.

CF Chicago in my change pocket 95% of the time and either:
Bradley folder or Para2 or Manix xl s90v in my RRP.
Focus is just distraction from distraction, so I take my moderation in moderation.

Thanks for all the input everyone! I'm learning quite a bit about possible models in Spyderco's lineup. Looks like some people like to theme-carry too.

If I had unlimited funds, I'd probably toy with some combos like: Gayle Bradley/GB Air, Tuff/Lava, Pingo/Rock Lobster

I like to carry a larger knife and a smaller knife and also a clean one and a dirty one. I do a lot of food prep with mine ( i'm almost a vegetarian, only eating meat a couple of times a month) so I use my knife on lots of produce. I love to eat raw fruits and veggies and they make up more than half my diet. For this reason I carry two knives at all times. I don't want to get any chemicals or other crud on my eatin' knife.

The s30v para2 is for heavy use, dirty use and protection if it came down to it. I don't actually carry for protection, I believe common sense keeps you out of trouble and Ruger gets you out of trouble.

The SB delica has been my apple killer for a while now.

Sometimes I really think I need a 3.5-4 inch blade with 2mm stock for all my produce slaying. :-)

Thought I would try to break down my logic instead of just listing my preference.

Thanks for that logical breakdown, bearfacedkiller! One of my favourite things to read about in this forum is the thought process behind design and carry decisions.

As I was reading that I wondered if you needed a longer slicer for food. The small knives just makes food so choppy.

You need a Catcherman. I love using mine for fruits and veggies.

B = Superleaf. E = Calypso Jr in Zdp-189. Most common as of late. Need some more small folders, I just love the 3-3.5 inch blade range....

Manix 2 and Dragonfly ZDP, usually.

But lately I've been carrying the k390 Mule a lot and using it whenever I can, mostly just for fun. Still have the other 2 with me, though.
