EDC Rotation?

So I was looking though my old threads and thought I would Dig this one up.
Here's a little update on my EDC situation. Several of the knives in the Pic i posted in my first post never made it into my pocket. Like the JYDII i never carried out of the house, the same with the Boker Direkt and the Crossbill.
I ended up selling or trading the Skyline, the Dejavoo, the Skirmish, the Ak-47, the JYDII, the BM Snody, and the Nagara.
So whats that leave me with?
Now I EDC my Blem S60v Blur mostly. Sometimes I'll carry a kershaw Blackout and I also just acquired a G-10 tyrade which I plan on carrying a lot. I have also recently received a Buck Strider Tanari in ATS-34, and a Damascus Shallot. Both have seen some pocket time and I enjoy carrying them both.
I am also considering carrying my Spyderco Pacific Salt, but I have it for sale in the exchange so I can't. If it doesn't sell I may start carrying it. Soon I plan on buying another Benchmade Dejavoo or a 710 and I'll throw that into the rotation as well. I'm also considering looking for another user Skirmish.

So that takes me from 11 to 6 in three months. I still always carry my Vic Farmer. ALthought I sometimes will exchange it for a Leatherman Mirca.
The search for new and different knifes continues unabated.

Currently I'm rotating between a UKPK, Delica 4, Kershaw RAM, and a RAT Cutlery Izula.
That will change tomorrow when my Sebbie arrives though :)
I'll try and post some pics in a little bit
 
I grab one (or more) of these on my way out the door every day. Priority is given to some knives depending on where I am going that day (blade length and such). Otherwise it is fairly random.

Here's Mine:

PB090759.jpg


PB090758.jpg


Rick Hinderer XM-18 3.5" w/ Flipper
Benchmade 940 (one of the best productions out there right now by far!)
CRK Small Sebenza 21
Strider PT
Spyderco Cricket

The top four folders are the ones I carry by themselves. Some days I'll toss the Cricket into my left pocket. It's really an underated knife.
 
For the past 6 months it has been a rotation of five right pocket knives and three left pocket knives, of course only one in each pocket on a daily basis. The right pocket choices are; Kershaw G10 Tyrade, Kershaw JYD II, ZT0205, ZT0500, and my current carry, a Boker Titan Defender. My left pocket is a Case CV Barlow Razor, Spyderco Persistence, and my current carry, a Case Humpback Whittler w/Goldenrod bone. I have two more coming before the end of the year that will go into rotation, that being a Fallkniven PXL w/maroon micarta, and a large Sebenza 21 w/African Blackwood inserts.
 
No pictures.

Current EDC knife rotation.

Spyderco Manix
Spyderco Military
Spyderco Cricket
Benchmade 9051
Spyderco Rookie
Fallkniven U2

Will be adding a Benchmade mini Skirmish 635-503 in a few days.
 
The Stretch is my EDC knife but here it is with some of the others that have been sharing pocket time:

I want to take a crack at naming these knives!

From left to right:

Spyderco Military
Kershaw Cyclone that was my first guess, but now I'm thinking it's a Benchmade assisted opener - an Elshewitz of some kind I'm thinking. But! The thumbstud doesn't seem right to me for one of those models... I am very intrigued now.
CRK Large Sebenza 21
Strider, I don't know their model names
Spyderco Leaf blade FG UKPK
CRK Small Sebenza 21 with micarta
CRK Large Sebenza with CF slab
CRK Umnuum
and a Para-Military

How did I do :D

I want to say it is a D2 Nitrous Stryker. That's what came to my mind. I also think the Strider is a DGG Stonewashed SNG

You nailed them all (except the SAKs :D). Below are some extra details about some of them that you could not get from just the pic...

Spyderco Military (S90V w/CF)
Benchmade 14460
Large 21 (G10 Scale from Barry H. to cut some weight)
Strider (SnG 3/4 Spear GG)
UKPK
Small 21
Large Sebenza (Regular with a custom scale from Barry H.)
Umnumzaan (custom scale from Barry H.)
Para-Military (Low-Rider Tip Up clip by STR)

SAKs are a Pioneer Pruner and my Boy Scout knife from my youth.
 
ALWAYS a Leatherman Skeletool CX. I only have one...someday I'll get a 2nd or even 3rd as backups.

USUALLY a Spyderco Paramilitary...I have a plain edge satin camo g10 version and a CPMD2 version. I hope to get a plain edge satin black g10 version one of these days to complete the set. :thumbup:

If I have to play dress up or am in Milwaukee, I go without the Para. They have 3" concealed carry limitations...yes I could just clip it so it is exposed and I'd be good to go, but that's not always comfortable. I'll either just carry the Skeletool CX by itself, or I'll add a Spyderco Sage carbon fiber, depending on my mood and clothing capabilities. (The GF doesn't always let me wear my tan cargo pants for "dress up," so that's usually when I'm sans Sage...pocket limitations :D).

Not much of a variety, but I stick with what works for me.....
