Alot of time I'll carry multiple knives in rotation. I feel like each day that I carry one of them my reaction when using it is WoW,what an awesome knife! this one has to be my favorite! The following day I'll carry another and feel the exact same way! Cant just pick one... Anyone else feel the same?

At the moment the Spyderco Manix 2 LW, Kershaw Camber, and ZT 0450 are my go to blades. These three constantly succeed and surpass my expectation of the rest of my collection. Which ones really wow you right now?

I only own 9 folders, and 7 of them see regular carry.

My PM2 sees less and less carry. Probably going to sell it.

My most carried knives are:

Bailey mod 2 geek edition flipper
Three Sisters Forge Beast
Spyderco Manix 2 CTS-XHP sprint, with ironwood scales

I'm hoping to send my Southern Grind Spider Monkey off for sharpening tomorrow, and it will go back into rotation.

Currently carry these four m-f at work. It's my favorite edc set up I've carried.

Great lineup there. It's almost like there is a sweet spot only certain knives fit into for us as knife nuts.

I have maybe 20 edc users in my collection and if I played favorites many would sit unused, my current plan is to carry a different primary edc blade weekly. That being said my traditional are the most pleasing to carry and use.

Protech's quality has never ceased to amaze me so my main EDC is my TR-5.



If autos were legal in my State then I'd rotate between this and my Rat Worx or BM Infidel.
 
I carry the same knife most every day, just like I've driven the same car for 11 years. Change for the sake of it isn't my thing
 
SAK Alox Cadet always, along with either a Sebenza 25 or a Bradford Guardian 3.
 
I ALWAYS have my SnG on me, and usually, another knife. I carry my Emerson Mini A-100, with my SnG 99% of the time, the other 1%, I carry my Inkosi with my SnG.
 
The same 4 rather boring knives get 95% of my pocket time, depending on the day's activities:

- BM 940-1501 - standard EDC for most day-to-day duties
- Viper Dan2 - rotates in for regular EDC just because I love the knife--also non-locking so safe for tighter legal restrictions and travel
- Spyderco PM2 - weekends, outdoors, odd jobs, yard
- Spyderco Dragonfly2 HAP40 - shorts or other days when I want the smallest capable knife I own

Alox Cadet is always in my pocket with one of the above. My other folding knives mostly sit in the drawer and should probably go on the auction block, but they're all users so MEH. Only the Viper and the DF2 are permanently safe and will probably never get bumped completely from the rotation.
 
Depends on what Im doing. If Im at work (farm) I carry the same blade day after day. So far shes held up great for a year and a half of cutting though tens of thousands of plastic bags filled with dirt among other farm duties.



If its my day off Ill switch over to something more gent like.

 
I have 10 folders that I consider my EDC rotation. In the last year these four have seen the most pocket time.

I always carry a SAK as a companion blade, but as far as large folders is concerned, these have seen most pocket time lately:

I have trouble deciding on favorites, much less a single favorite, so I carry several different knives in a rotation. I tell my daughter that I only have to pick a favorite daughter and a favorite wife, everything else I can have more than one favorite.

Right now I think there are 8 knives in the rotation. I have 3 others that I choose from for weekend carry when I'm working around the house. On weekends when I leave the house I'm usually carrying the Military.

This is an older picture of what I might consider for EDC. I swap things around so the actual EDC rotation has changed over time. Right now the PM2, Manix 2, Manix 2 XL and Benchmade 913 are the favorites. (Today I'm carrying the S90V Manix 2 XL.)

Very interesting that you carry the same knife daily but also post on a knife knut forum. Do you have only one user and have several safe queens? Which one do you carry? Just curious.

Probably a Gerber paraframe.
