How offen do you rotate your EDC?

Wow....how often? There have been times when it seemed like every other day. For the past 7 months I have carried and used a T. Bose/Case Dogleg Jack more than any other knife I have. While it is a great using knife I always like to carry a large single bladed folder in my right front pocket and carry it there all by itself. To this end I have been carrying a Rick Hinderer Firetac Extreme clip point (4.125" blade :D ) for the past two months and I have been loving it! :) :cool:

Why, I think I may have just found my PERFECT folder!! :eek: :) :footinmou

No....really I think I have. :D
 
Rotate? I don't even rotate my tires.

That might be cheating because though I might more or less carry the same equipment everyday, I have other knives/multies at my job, in my bike seat pouch, glove box, tool box, etc.
 
If I have a belt or a pocket, I'm carrying my Victorinox Swisschamp.

As to other knives, I change my EDC like I change my underpants: when the impulse strikes.

My most recent folder purchase is a Crawford Kasper Fighting folder and I've been hard pressed to choose one of my older knives over it lately... but typically I change every day or so, or depending on what tasks I have that day.
I rotate between a large woody classic Sebenza, a JW Smith mini-Scimitar (despite the name, it's my sheeple-friendliest folder, thanks to blue scales and a small recurve blade), a DMKnives Instigator 2 for heavy chores, and a Darrel Ralph Madd Maxx with DLC coat and pearl inlays (my dressy gent folder).
I also carry either a Busse Assault Shaker in a horizontal belt rig, or a FrontSight Mickey Yurco Hideaway in a belt sheath for defense and/or heavier chores. If I want to avoid torquing a folder, the Busse can take over.
I recently picked up a Graham Bros. 3" Razel - their chisel+razor hybrid knife. It's thick S30V with no point- it's shaped like a chisel, but double hollow ground on the main edge and flat ground on the "point edge." This knife has turned out to be very handy and incredibly strong for its size. I just cut open some nigh impossible plastic molded packaging for an optical mouse like it was butter, something I'd be very careful about doing with my Sebenza. Those molded edges can be tough! Not for the Razel. Plus it doesn't look like a knife from afar, so no one at the office has gone bug-eyed like when I flip open my big Mosier folder.
I always carry a knife except when traveling by air, or going to concerts or NYC landmarks where they have metal detectors. It just pays to be aware.
And while I'm on a coffee-induced ramble, I used to carry a folder and a kukri to school back in the old days. We had a lot of fun in shop class :)
 
For almost 3 years it's been:
"Normal" days
DC Munroe Chimera, S&Y Military watch, Arc AAA on the keys, some sort of small leatherman (was a Micra, now the RS squirt (e2?)) - usually also have a ARC AA

"Dress Up"
Jeff Hall Custom, Swiss Army Chronograph, will ditch the leatherman depending on pocket space

"sheeple friendly"
Back to my normal, but will use a WH Lancet (leaving the Munroe home)

"Place where they might take my knife"
I've got a couple of beat up CRKTs around that I'll carry that if I have to hand it to security (aka, give it away) I won't be too upset
 
I almost always carry my BM710HSSR. I'm most comfortable with it and it's operation. It's like an extension of my hand. :) The only time I carry something else is if I go to grab my 710 and it isn't where it should be so I grab something else. Lately my Spyderco Native s30v has been my alternative to the BM710, especially when I'm going some place where the 710 might get me in trouble with it's size and operation.
 
:D I have different EDC knives for everything:

WORK ~ Endura SE.

MtBikin ~ delica SE.

Dinner ~ Lum Leaf or tanto,Lge Classic Sebbie.

SpecialSits~Ronin,MT Scarab,EK Karabit or Super 7,
BM42 Bali for fun, Strider AR.

Sometimes a combo of all the above.. ;)
 
As I carry "several (that means as many as I can carry without my pants falling down)" or at least one of each category and the fact that I rotate daily means that I have to have a pretty good inventory (although I've been cutting down drastically recently).

Large folder - Custom CQC8 or DDR Mad Max bowie
Medium folder - Hinderer Firetac or SnG
Small Folder - JW Smith Mini Scimitar or DeVilliers Mini Operator (my last trade with Gadi)
Auto - Chew D/A or MT CTII
Neck Knife - Blackwood HD Ninja or Simonich Pikuni or CGK
Slipjoint - Easler or RWE MOP or Knipstein or one of many antiques
Medium to large FB - Hartsfield or Kendrick Samurai or Strider or Ryan
 
I don't do much in the way of rotating my EDC. My personal time EDC is always my small Sebbie with an occasional V'nox tagging along. For office/work hours EDC it's either my Mnandi w/African Blackwood inlays or my Lakeland w/MOP scales from Knife House Hara.
 
I generally switch between my Military and Calypso Jr. depending upon where I'm going/what I'm doing. Usually it's the Calypso around the house and Millie if I'm going to be out for a while. When I'm camping it's the Millie and my Spyderco Perrin for a fixed blade bowie.
