Carry any knives daily????

Kershaw Avalanche clipped in my front right pocket.

When the Kershaw isn't appropriate, I usually carry a small Case slip joint.

Always have a leatherman in my bag.

In my pockets:

Mayo TNT
Strider SnG

On my belt:

Strider AR

Church & dress up knife:
Kershaw Vapor till my new TNT gets to me.

And I have others that I carry from time to time, such as a Spyderco Massad Ayoob, and a Rinaldi TTKK
 
Just got done doing a lot of trading so things have/are changing. Currently I'm carrying a BM 942, DDR Bullnose Max, MT LCC and a De Villiers Mini Operator. By the end of the week, hopefully, I'll be carrying a manual Onion Vapor in place of the LCC.
 
I ALWAYS carry a Victorinox Mini Swiss Champ in the little pocket of my jeans. That knife gets used more than any knife ever! The other knife I carry a lot is my Chris Reeve Umfaan.
 
I have 2.

Currently the Kershaw/Ken Onion LEEK (reviewed )
because it is right-sized for me, fast and convenient - BUT
only in my home -
even though the Speed-Safe assisted opening knives do NOT fall under the Federal definition of a switchblade - I prefer avoid any legality issues......

so for my (off my property) EDC, and for the past 21 years has been a SAK - because they are very useful with all the tools combinations and because they are recognized world-wide and not usually considered an "offensive weapon" -

My current EDC model is the Victorinox Scientist (has been for the past 19 years still made by Victorinox - but no longer imported to the USA).

Main blade
Combo tool (flat screwdriver/caplifter/wire-stripper)
Phillips screwdriver
Magnifying glass
Corkscrew
Jeweller's screwdriver (stored in corkscrew)
Toothpick
Tweezers
Ballpoint Pen
straight Pin

all in a compact 2-back-spring knife.

Mine is customized with "stag" handles (actually ivory Micarta, scored to look like stag)

Right now My EDC lineup:

-Front Left Pocket= Lrg. Mayonized Sebenza
-Front Right Pocket= Either BM AFCK or 710
-Right Change Pocket= Delta Z Cali Auto
-Right Front Coat Pocket= BM 310 Benchmite
-Keychain= Spyderco LadyBug II


I change up a few every now and again. But this is pretty much this weeks line up
 
If I could only have one or the other. I would take the 806. But they are both great knives
 
Fallkniven F1, Spyderco Moran TP both IWB diagonal
Spyderco Perrin Small of bk
Spyderco Military jacket pocket
 
My EDC has been the Spyderco G-10 since Christmas because I have'nt found anything I like better.

I have also carried at various times, and in addition to the Police model:
the Wenger Serrated Backpacker, the Wenger Handyman, the Leatherman Micra, the Gerber Pro-Scout, and the Leatherman PST.

I'm beginning to think the best combo is the G-10 Police and the Wenger Backpacker, and the Craftsman RoboGrip pliers.

I love the RoboGrip pliars!
The self adjusting feature is awesome, and it would really be great if a multi-tool incorporated that feature.
Maybe someday...The RoboGrip Leatherman multi-tool!

Good luck,
Allen.
 
BM556 nearly everyday all day. Love this thing better and better the more I try out other knives. IMO, this is IT as far as utility EDC's go. Mindnumbingly easy to operate one handed, both opening and closing.
BM940, gorgeous knife, not as robust as the minigrip, not quite as easy to open and close either....still love the thing. Carry it on weekends mostly.
Spyderco Mouse, carry it on weekends sometimes, this little thing cuts better than anything Ive got I think! Gotta love the vg-10 double hollow grind. Built like a dam tank, easy to open and close one handed...especially for a Lockback.
Although the blade is said to be shorter than the Navigator, hold them up to each other and tell me which one has more blade.;)

941CFD2, awesome, but I have mostly just fondled it so far...

940SLV, very pretty knife too, gets lots of fondling as it's the smoothest 94x I have ever seen, and has the most perfect lockup/zero play of any knife I've handled. Sits in case next to cfd2941 mostly. may unload when/if the 941s30v Ti comes along.

Now I'm just waiting for BM to make a s30v 941Titanium to add to the bunch.
 
During work hours an MT Amphibian. After work a Camillus Maxx and Spyderco Civilian when traveling some place new or late at night. Possibly my Spyderco Gunting and the "Phib". I'm learning the ways of the Gunting right now. When I travel by air my BM 710 is packed in checked baggage as my travel knife. Also, I always have a Spyderco Meerkat in my pocket for those cuts when sheeple abound.

If I could pick only one it would be the Amphibian.
 
Dozier small utility fixed blade; Mayo TNT; Gryphon M-10; Mad Dog Mirage X ceramic neck knife.
 
I carry a CRKT M-16 most everyday. It's just the perfect size, and the tanto blade shape with serration makes alot of sense for the cutting I do, boxes, canvas etc. And even better is the price. I got mine when they first came out, but I think it's still $40 now. Just can't beat it.

One of the things that I enjoy is putting together combinations of knives that work well together. Here are some of my favorites:

Leatherman Wave + Benchmade 160 Tether Knife : The Wave IMHO is still one of the best do-it-all multitools out there. The Benchmade supplements it well by providing a flat, light, fixed blade knife for pocket carry. It has a useful blade shape and is made from GIN-1, which I really like.

Leatherman Juice S2 + Spyderco Rescue Jr : I've mentioned these knives many times in previous threads, but they really work well for me, especially together. Between the two, they give me light-duty pliers and wire cutters, a few common screwdrivers, plain edge blade and scissors, and a lightweight, locking, serrated blade. My favorite for EDC.

Victorinox Tinker + Spyderco Ladybug II : Lightweight, versatile combination when a bulkier, heavier multitool is not needed. The Tinker provides a few tools, and the small spearpoint blade is perfect for liberating donuts from their boxes...;) The Ladybug II can cut some tougher materials than the plain-edge blades. One of my weekend favorites.

Victorinox Pioneer + Spyderco Rescue Jr : I really like the single-layer, one-blade Pioneer. Sturdy, flat, lightweight, and easy to sharpen. Paired up with the Rescue Jr, this is one of my favorites when I don't need a bunch of extra tools.
 
I have been carrying my Benchmade Forum Knife. It is a 705 with a BC1 coated M-2 blade and carbon fiber handle. #18/100 WhooHooo!
 
I carry 3 at work. Gerber Multi, Delta Z small liner lock and then one of these 3: Kershaw Avalanche, CRKT Kasper Pro or my new CRKT D.O.G. (which would be my all time favorite except for the tip up design which I am learning to hate).

When not at work, just subtract the Gerber Multi-tool!
