Do you have a Custom Folder? If so how often do you carry it?

Ive got a couple and carry them quite often...Ive been carrying my RJ Martin

Trooper for 3 days now. Its a strong knife with a .175" striated blade.
 
Yup, I have a couple. I carry my Kerry Hampton KHnutbuster nearly every day, and I have a Bret Dowell Swayback that I carry on Sundays and special occassions.
 
I carry all my customs. My feeling is that for the most part, high quality factory knives retain their value if kept untouched better than most customs... I say most. If the knife is made by a very popular maker then its different.
 
I rotate my EDCs whenever the notion hits me. My Eddie Baca is in that rotation. However my titanium Dozier folder is not. I am kinda anal about it. ;)
 
Ive got a trooper i carry once in a while, real cool, very sharp blade. very large,but carries well...
 
I carry my customs. The day before yesterday I had a Yuna Mini Hard-1 in my pocket. Yesterday I had an RJ Martin Q-36 in my pocket. Today I have an RJ Martin Blitz in my pocket. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? :D
 
I have at least one custom knife in my pocket everyday.
 
i edc either a custom emerson CQC13 or a spyderco Ti ATR, i have edc'd a lot of customs though, pat crawford ti kasper and perfigo, ralph maxx, several bud nealy fixed blades, an emerson '8, etc, the neat thing about customs is ya can edc them a while till ya get tired of it, then get it re-finished by the maker for usually a small fee and its LNIB again, i really like my CQC13 though and have been edc'ing it a while now, 3 or 4 yrs i guess, the last month or so i have been mostly edc'ing the ATR which isnt a custom but is a great design imho, the Ti version is almost as high as a custom now anyway lol.
 
I've carried my Ken Coats jack every day since it arrived.

Yes. I have a lot of custom folders including some of my own but the one I carry and use the most is the Gene Baskett Tactical I traded for here and later had Gene make a new blade for in a Wharncliffe shape. I still have the original blade and nothing is wrong with that one. I like this knife. Carbon fiber scales, bolsters, which ironically I don't usually go for but on this one they suit the knife. Then it has Gene's own personal touches with hand filed hardware and checkering, as well as his own micro filing and notch work on the blade like only he can do. As I said last night in another thread its one of those knives that comes along every now and then and its just got soul. You can't help but love it, and you can't resist carrying it either!

Ever since I got my custom friction folder, I've been carried that knife every day since.

I bet some are already bored to see this, but here its again:
