.....or carry the same EDC, well, everyday? ;)

I have a few GEC's now :thumbup: but (mostly) carry my

Yellow Rose Furtaker. The bottom one in this picture. It does the job for me

and fits my hand just right.

Rotate, when I get tired of one knife I switch to another for a while.

I rotate them. I got some many knives that I like. And knife that I like deserves to be carried
 
Rotate, man, rotate...or we'll spin off our axis and careen out of orbit! :eek:

:D
 
I don't have a large collection but I have my few knives loosely broken down to: dress pants and business situation (smallest), edc but no business not going out to dinner, working in the garden and doing work around the house; and, the outdoor knives used while hiking, fly fishing, etc. As I add more knives I will rotate more within each category.
 
Rotate um! Used to be happy with just my old stockman and BUCK 110, then I found BFC and traditional folders forum and friends, which forced me to buy other knives and read jackknifes stories, which caused me to get peanuts, which caused the need for a box to keep them rounded up in, which caused the need for rotations to keep the blades from freezing in place. A great place this is and happy holidays to all.

This is how I rotate too. I usually carry the same knife for weeks or months on end, but there are a few that I just can't not carry, so they'll get a day in the pocket here and there.

I'm always carrying my Victorinox Soldier, and usually my Queen Canoe, but sometimes the Canoe will take a rest in favor of one of these:

The Spyderco hasn't seen much pocket time lately though, and sometimes I'll take one of my ESEE Izulas along for a ride.

And since I just got that Buck, it's been in the pocket for the last several days. It may get a permanent spot in the rotation.

My Opinel no. 6 creeps into my pocket from time to time as well.
 
I like to rotate. It's part of the fun of collecting. I have some that stay "in the safe" so to speak, and some that go along with me.

This pretty much describes my habit.

God forbid I don’t wanna careen out orbit! Although I've been accused of being close a few times. :D
 
I do employ a rotate algorithm. I sometimes base the choice on a logarithm but occasionally I introduce it as a seed to a random generator.

In reality, it is more complicated than that. I just pick whatever I feel like carrying that day so it is hard to explain why.
 
Not really. I basically plan on buying one good edc knife and use it until I lose it, break it(which rarely ever happens because I buy quality and don't abuse what I own), sell it for extra cash, or find something better. At any given time I'll have these three items; knife, zippo, and a pen/marker.
 
Luciano,

Your wit is as sharp as your knife. I was beginning to buy into it for a second.
 
Yep -- I have twenty or so that I select from every few weeks. Some "win" more than others, but in a given year, I bet 10-12 different knives had made it into my pocket.
