If it weren't for knife laws I'd carry a Military 90% of the time. Now I carry a C22 Michael Walker or Techno on office work days so they see more daily use.

I always carry more than one knife and over the past two years my two most carried knives have been my Cruwear Military and my Bottle Opener Clipitool.

The Military can handle 95% of my cutting needs and the Clipitool offers both a small innocuous blade for when I need to be discreet as well as a small pry tool for pulling staples, opening paint cans or any other light prying jobs that pop up.

My Ambitious has seen the most Pocket time by a long margin, it was my knife befor I was a knife person.
I was given it as a birthday gift just after the one hand open laws where lifted and this guy was cutting through boxes 9 hours a day 5 days a week for years.Image

Despite all my various Spydies, this one sees more use and pocket time because I rarely rotate it out like I do the others.

I will say the Dragonfly Hawkbill is giving it a run for it's money though. In a few years this knife could be dethroned as most used in my collection.

My stretch 1 is probably the most used knife I have owned in my life. It has cleaned countless animals and fish,been used everyday for years. The blade has noticeably been sharpened. For “only” being VG10 steel it has been a great knife. I retired it this year and replaced it with a Gale Bradley 2. So far it is showing great potential.
Wanted: M4 PM 2 or manix M4.

Native5 is my most carried and used spydie. It’s also the only model that I have multiples of.

Believe it or not, my most used is a Tenacious combo blade with black blade (I don't know what they use, it isn't listed as DLC) and black G10. I slice lemons every morning with it. But I never carry it. Most carried is hard to say - I carry my Manix LW, PM2 and PM3 more often than the Delica or Chaparral. My wife carries her Dragonfly exclusively.

Military sees most pocket time.

Tasman HB PE cleans any fish I catch but may be rivaled by my Dragonfly HB SE.

Sprig fillets any fish that needs filleting.

I haven’t shot in a while but when I do next the Southfork will certainly accompany me. :)

Chaparral LW for me. Takes care of any cutting task I need during the day and cuts like a laser forever

I have exclusively carried an s110v PM2 for the past 2 years. It has never let me down and I almost never sharpen or hone it. The working edge retention is unreal.

My favorite knife to carry(that I never carry) is the Lum Tanto sprint folder.

After a long hiatus from Spyderco, I picked up a Dice a few weeks ago. Then a Spydie Chef arrived Monday night. The Spydie Chef has pushed everything else out of my pocket: It's thin, it's light enough, it has enough of a point, it slices like crazy, it's a frame lock (my preferred lock type), I like how it carries with the wire clip, and I like that it's basically rust proof. The Spydie Chef was purchased with the intention of being my summer activities carry knife. It may become my year round carry knife. I may have to get a Sage 2 considering how much I've taken to this Chef in just over 48 hours.

I have most models in MichaelScott's post above, however the ones I reach for most lately have been the Dragonfly, Caly 3.5, and Endura.
