Best Regards To All.... Stevo

Ritter Mini Griptillian for me. Love it.

Honestly, I carry and use my ZT301 more than my Spyderco knives most of the time.

SAK Pioneer (Alox)... :o

To be honest, CRK Mnandi takes "most carried EDC" spot at the moment due to very people friendly gent's knife look. That might change soon with Dragonfly 2 ZDP soon though.

Sage 1 & 2 and the Stretch ZDP CF are the EDC rotation. If I'm on the bike then i do carry an Emerson Mini CQC-7, just cause of it's size.

Gotta be my Salt 1. Perfect EDC size and maintenance free! It goes everywhere with me and I never worry about what I cut or when I'll get a chance to clean it :)

Looking back, 1997 Microtech Socom.
Best 154 I have seen.
Still carry it now and then.

Last few yrs, Spyderco Sprints in S90v.

Close call between Dragonfly PE or the tiny little wharncliffe blade on the Victorinox Midnite Minichamp.

AUS-8 dragonfly SE gets carried everyday as my loaner/beater in conjunction with my other spydie usually a caly variant.

My BM 556 PE. Small and light and easy to sharpen 154cm.

In terms of pure pocket time, mine would be the Ladybug, hands down. That's just because I almost always carry a Ladybug with a small lanyard attached as a small backup knife.

As far as actual use, mine would probably be the Stretch 2 in VG-10. The only other 2 I can think of that I've carried nearly as much are the Sage 1 and regular production Manix 2. Those are the ones I've carried frequently over a longish period of time (almost a year). The ones that have been my most used EDC's the last several months are the Caly 3.5 and Para 2, hands down. Also, the Sage 3 has gotten a fair bit of pocket time as well.

Spyderco Sage II

The Military. Its one of the greatest knives ever made. :D

Used this CPM-D2 Military for about 1 1/2 years together with a few other knives, but exclusively for about the last 6 months.
Bought second hand with a rattling loose blade and no edge to speak of.
Now it's nice & tight again with an early lockup and a reground edge that is kept sharp on a 1 micron diamond strop.
Still; i'm thinking of selling or auctioning it, otherwise i will probably never use the new S90V or the CPM-M4 versions that still lie dorment in their boxes, :D

My most carried knife is without a doubt my SAK Spartan, after that its a old mora beltknife and in third place my -now sadly lost in the sea- spyderco Lava.

My manix 2 is getting more and more pocket time as we speak :) .

Leatherman since before I new Spyderco existed. A Wave since it came out. My most used Spyderco is a Military with S90V.

It's uh..complicated. Always the Street Beat sheathed and strung on a Mercharness. But that's going to change as soon as I finish the sheaths and handles for my EVER GROWING collection of Mules. What I carry in my trouser pocket (front) lately has been the Gayle Bradley, which is a fantastic piece. It sort of replaced another fantastic piece- Police/PIG depending on what year we are talking about. BUT- I think it might be preempted by the Navaha which is on the way or at the very least go into rotation. Back right pocket usually get something small- either a spydie I don't know the name of or a CRKT folding RAZL (A very useful little devil). In cold weather especially, I carry a ZT350 in my left-hand jacket pocket (I'm a southpaw in case you haven't guessed). Even heavily gloved, I can deploy it instantly which is important to me since I often travel at times of the day where I am more liable to run into individuals that probably aren't looking to be my best friend (I hope Sal is listening here). I don't wear my Gerber belt dagger anymore but I've been rethinking that. Boot knives don't and never did do it for me and if I had a necker I'd probably fall on it and kill myself. The MAIN consideration is to stay outta range of Dr. Snubnose.

As I have aged, find myself liking small knives. The LBK3 is always in my pocket.

Like smaller knives, so its the LBK3, never leave home without it.
