I've been really thinking about my knife usage habits as well as EDC options. While I absolutely love modern folders and sometimes really big honking folders, they just aren't as useful to me as the knife that I would not think twice about throwing in my pocket. For a lot of what I thought I would want a big stout modern folder for, I end up using a fixed blade or better yet an actual tool like a pry bar or screw driver, wedge for splitting. So I've decided to really reduce the amount of modern folders I own. I think so far I can get on with just a couple of moderns just fine.
On that note I might have found my every day EDC, it's the Case Carhartt Mini Trapper with a wharnie blade. It's slim, really, really pocketable and has just enough blade to handle most tasks with aplomb. It almost feels modern even though it's clearly traditional. I was debating a slim modern when I went back to a wharnie thread and looked at all the options. This one came out the clear winner! I've only had it for about an hour, but I took to it instantaneously. The synthetic jigged covers are a real plus for me something about being one foot in the old and one foot in the new really appeals to me.
