EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

With few exceptions, almost every photo shows a knife that's never used, just a little pocket wear. I'm guessing this is a collector thing? Granted, my own EDC knives are not beat and save for my little SAK, are used infrequently but this thread is like an instagram showcase! ;)

I think use can look different for everyone. That mixed with, many of us have way too many knives and switch things up all the time haha. I also know for myself, sitting behind a desk the hardest my knives get used is opening mail and other knives/ amazon packages haha

That's sort of my guess for most guys. Certainly where I sit with my own EDC knives. I don't tend to rotate around much having a preferred SAK (74mm Executive) and one of three pocket clip knives (Bugout 535BK-2, Mini-Grip, and Mini-Presidio 2). I carry the Bugout almost every day when just going to town. Have had it three-four years and it looks new. The Mini-Grip actually has some blade wear but I carried it much longer and while hiking as well.

The controversy! #useyourshit

Only speaking for myself here but my EDC rotation has gotten straight-up silly. I sold off some guns at the beginning of the pandemic and that also set me up to try pretty much whatever I wanted in the realm of affordable pocket cutlery. Things come and go, and I also have a chance to tinker with a lot of stuff. The end result though is that always having at least one knife in my pocket doesn't mean any of those knives get a lot of time in my pocket. Effectively, my more favorite knives are competing for one day a week in pocket.

That plus being a more casual or non-extreme user with "office hands" means my sharpening skills are the only things getting rusty around here. 😜

Anyway, it's Spyderco Saturday and this modified Sage 5 has a tiny bit of use on it...

That's a Manly City.
Bulgarian made, S90V, back-lock, incredibly slicy and ridiculously cheap for what you get. They're a little under the radar but I highly recommend trying one out. Not really a fidget knife but after a little break in they can be flicked open with the thumbstud and some wrist. Probabaly the sharpest OTB knife I've purchased.
