Do you EDC the same blade every day or rotate,

Top one was my only carry for 15+ years.
3 of the bottom 4 now take its place, alternating the 2nd & 3rd, untill I find a replacement, or restore the original.

That's a stunningly attractive blade there Sonnydaze!

My Brad Southard AVO...every day this year...since I bought it...
I have other knives...none better.
I consider it to be a flipper "mid-sized" Sebbie clone...a perfect size for my hand...and the knife that Chris never made...

This knife seems to be famous, or maybe I just recognize it more easily...true knife monogamy love there!

I carried many knives during many years and finally got "the one" a while ago, the only knife I've carried every day, no exception, since I got it.

My trusty, awesome Spyderco Salt. All my other blades, SAKs and multitools vary from day to day, while this stays with me.

I typically carry a Wiliam Henry at work and then a CRK 25 in the evenings and on weekends. Used to carry a Large Insingo but the 25 has been my constant non-work companion nearing everyday for more than a year.
 
Same knife until I feel like it's time to move on and try something different.

It takes time for me to get comfortable with any hand tool, to learn it's in's and out's and to establish a good understanding of how it performs in different situations.

I find if I use the same knife continuously for a long period of time, there's an "extension of the hand" bond that develops...
 
I rotate my rotation. By that, I mean that I have a lightweight, warm weather rotation (mostly modern "tactical" stuff); and I have a heavier weight, colder weather rotation (mostly traditional stuff). And I rotate my rotations as the seasons change - and I get all the seasons here in Michigan!
 
I carry the same every day, but will swap out for situational cutting or pending daily activities.:thumbup:
 
I have a little variation, but not much. At work I carry a Contego and a multitool. Usually a Victorinox Farmer or Tinker.

Off work I carry a Griptillian and a multitool of some sort as well. One of the Victorinox knives, but also might be one of a few Leatherman tools as well.
 
I carry my newest ones most often for the last month or so it's been 50/50 a Strider SMF and a ZT 562CF, always with a Vic Super Tinker in the other pocket
 
I'll often carry the latest for awhile, but go back to picking size/type based on clothing/context/climate.
I've got half a dozen folders and maybe 3 fixies that get regular belt-time.
 
I rotate through about 10 different knives. I carry one for a day or two then switch to the next in the rotation. They all get carried that way.
 
Al Mar sere 2000 d/a, Spyderco Vallotin d/a, super cqc 8, ZT 561, Lone Wolf lobo cocobolo d/a, & DPX Gear heft T3 are the usual suspects in my normal edc rotation with a Fallkniven juni. Occasionally the Microtech LCC d/a, & Pro-tech defiance find their way into my pocket. Lone Wolf Diablo Snakewood d/a is my carry for playing dress up.
 
My ZT 0562cf is my latest purchase and current EDC when I'm dressed casually. If I'm dressed up my Spyderco Dragonfly2 G10 is my choice. My work EDC is a Kershaw Camber as I abuse it pretty good.
 
I rotate constantly. I keep the knives and tools I use the most in some big drawers in my livingroom and pick up whatever I feel like carrying for the day.

I've got some combinations that get more use than others, mostly because they are more versatile. When I stay at my girlfriend's for a few days I usually just bring two knives and a SAK or multitool.
