So I was just going over my EDC knives. I have 11 that I rotate and one that I always carry. I got to wondering how many knives ya'll have in your EDC rotations. So lets see your lists.

Mine: (in no paticular order)

Byrd Cross Bill
Benchmade Nagara
Kershaw JYDII
Benchmade Skirmish
Kershaw Blackout
Benchmade Snody Gravitator
SAK alox Farmer
Benchmade Dejavoo
kershaw Sky Line
Spyderco Endura 4 waved
Boker AK-47
Boker Direkt

No pics, but I pretty much have only 4 that I EDC.
at home: RFP is my Caly3 CF, LFP is my Delica ZDP, belt sheath is my Swisstool Spirit.
at work: Boker Wharcom (deep pocket carry), and Spirit on the belt.
That's pretty much it for folders, although the list does expand quite a bit when I'm in the woods.
 
EDC pocket carry:
  • SAK Classic (always)
  • Kershaw Skyline (rotated but carried the most)
  • Spyderco Native 4 (rotated)
  • Kershaw OD-1 (rotated)
  • Spyderco Tenacious (rotated)
  • SOG Twitch II (rotated)
  • Benchmade Mini Griptilian (rotated)
  • Buck Vantage Select (soon to be Pro) (rotated)
  • Kershaw Leek (rotated)

EDC backpack carry:
  • Zero Tolerance ZT0300 (always)
  • CRKT Hissatsu (occasional supplement)
 
Both of these pics are part of my main EDC rotation. The Burn stiletto gets carried at home. The Reese Weiland Emerson framelock is my go-to knife. Sometimes my hollow ground DDR D2 Maxx bowie gets carry if I'm in jeans. The Rolex Sea Dweller is worn every day.

-RAMs in desert ironwood, cocobolo, and buckeye burl. I have to rotate clips until I get another one

-ZT 0650st in desert ironwood

-ZT 0500

-Junk Yard Dog 2 in amboyna burl, reground to a very thin edge

-Groove in figured claro walnut

-Delica wave

-Aleph A19 CREE on a Vital Gear FB2

I carry the RAMs most often. Sometimes I'll take one of the ZTs if I want something heavier-duty. The JYD2 is my portable kitchen knife, and the very thin edge is amazing for light work. The Delica is my lightweight beater. I carry the Groove when I just don't feel like using a RAM.
 
Usually at least one of these are in my pocket:

Today it is the BM 760 LFTi that I stripped the coating from.
 
primary rotation:

- Military
- AFCK
- stainless Delica
- old-style Police
- Sage II
- Lum Chinese

secondary rotation:

- Fallkniven U2
- Case Baby Butterbean
- Queen #64

in addition, always have on me:

- Victorinox Explorer Plus
 
If I can gather all my knives by the time I get home tonight, I'll take a pic. It's not really that many, but when I am not EDC'ing one I put it in rotation somewhere else. They typically go from my pocket, to my glove box, to my backpack, and back to the pocket.
 
In no particular order-
Emerson CQC7B (non waved)
AFCK (liner-lock, ATS-34)
Microtech Mini Socom
Full size Rittergrip
Small classic Sebenza
David Boye Prophet
 
Carry rotation knives are:

Buck 110
Buck Vantage Select
Buck Metro (Keychain - carried all the time)
Byrd CaraCara
Byrd Crossbill
Kershaw Leek
 
This is my carry rotation. My SAK is my one true EDC, always paired with one(or two) of these fixed blades. ( All made by forum knifemaker "Stomper", JK Handmade knives)

spyderco manix2
spyderco harpy
spyderco caly3

emerson mini cqc7
emerson mini cqc15

al mar eagle ultralight

cold steel ti-lite
 
I'll have to get a picture up but my EDC rotation these days are:

Spyderco Military (S30V)
Benchmade 615 mini-Rukus
Benchmade 710
Sebenza - Large Classic
Sebenza - Small Classic (office use)

Always seem to stick with these knives despite all the others I own
 
in pocket: chive or leek

if also carrying briefcase/backpack/fatboy: add rescue blur and multitool

...other more robust blades carried as needed for particular working situations...
 
I've narrowed it down to 5:

L to R:

110V Shallot (swapped with a CKT handle, polished blade)
13C26 ENER-G II (swapped with the LE Black G-10 handle)
CB ZDP Shallot (swapped with a CKT handle)
Ti/ZDP Mini Cyclone
CPM154 Jason Clark custom

All are framelocks except the ENER-G. It's also the only flipper in the bunch, too. Jason's custom is smoother than my now retired Sebenza. He makes a fantastic knife! All of them have a reflective paracord lanyard from some of Spark's supplies. I'll never misplace a knife in the dark again!

I will also stick one of Michael Morris's Pocket Fillers or a Dan Koster EDC in my pocket when I want to carry a fixed blade.
