EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Picked out my long time EDC today; the one that I always carried long before I started collecting knives. It's a black Kershaw Shallot 1840CKT. Just love the looks/lines and feel of this Ken Onion designed knife.

Bought one at full retail (around $80) at a gun show back in the 90's and then lost it! :(

Discovered that the Shallot was discontinued at that time and couldn't find an immediate replacement. Went a couple of years w/o carrying any knife at all and then saw that a well known dealer was selling 1840CKT blems and I bought 3 of them. D*mn if I'm going to lose one again, LOL!! Never did lose any of them and have only carried one of them since. That's the one I pocketed today.

The thing is, I just found a "like new" non-blem 1840CKT on EB to add to my collection which replaces the one that I lost. Pictures of it are below. So, now I've got 3 blems too many and will probably end up selling the 2 that I never used. I'm pretty sure that the proceeds will pay for the non-blem that I just bought, when I do. :)
