I have several EDC, the most of my knives are for viewing pleasures, organized in display cases in my office and few backups. I love good looking knives. Fortunately for me Spyderco makes quite a few knives, which look good and excellent users at the same time. So I choose the best IMHO (which I can afford) to be my EDC.
I do not have any EDC rotation at this point, but each EDC serve different purpose:
1. Native is a beater. It is inexpensive, so easy to replace, if I will not be able to fix damage. Great ergos, great steel.
2. C83 Persian, my favorite. It does everything:cut branches, brake down boxes, cut sandwich, used as paring knife on the kitchen. I hit brass staples couple of times, fixed it. Of cause, I have couple backups, just in case.
3. Caly3 is my clean knife. Mail and lunch. I cut few boxes couple times, just to get feel, but in general, it is a "clean knife"
4. Kopa Coco. The knife for dress-up occasions. I take it to work couple days every week as well. Jigged Bone will join this group next week.
I have strong feeling that new Lum can make into EDC, but I need to get second piece, hopefully this will happen next Tuesday :) .
If I have more variety in my need, I will add more knives to EDC.

I'm both a collector and a user. There are Spydercos I own strictly because of their place in Spyderco history, others I carrry regularly, some I carry occasionally, a few I have as spares, and a few I have as donors for future customization projects.

Accumulator with intent of use. :D Most all of mine have been used at some point, but I tend to stay with one at a time. In the past an EDC has lasted between 1-3 years before I find something that has "more" of what I want. I am going to have a hard time finding anything better than the combination of attributes on the E4 G-10.
