Well basically I have carried a Gerber E-Z out for 15 or so years. I have broken the tip off by being stupid & using it as a pry bar, so I "Tantoized" it & used it for a few more years until I lost it, & then bought a bunch more Gerbers. EZ outs which I still carry for work every day. On the wknds & my off time I carry many different blades, an Emerson Commander partly serrated a Benchmade Barrage, assisted, sometimes a no name Stilleto, an AL Mar Eagle, a Buck 110, love to carry my Leatherman Wave multitool, Coldsteel 6 in Holdout, old Gerber multitool, CKRT M 16 etc. In the bush OKC Ranger 9 in, Condor Bush Knife about 12 in long, very old Tramontia machete maybe 22 in & a Winchester 12 ga Shotgun
