How often does your edc change? I usually keep mine for a good amount of time, unless I'm trying out a product to review.
 
Depends on mood and what I'm doing. Most days it is a Delica 4 (purple), but for the past few weeks I have been carrying a Skyline.
 
As I accumulate more and more knives, it seems I switch out my carry less and less...go figure.
 
My main one is a larger 3.5-4" folder. That changes maybe a few times a year, or less.

I also carry a 3" smaller one, and that changes weekly probably
 
I carry a Spyderco Endura and a Vic classic every day. Rotate through some slip joints, depending. A MooreMaker small trapper from 1997 probably gets the most use. Vic Farmer sometimes on the weekends. CRKT Tribute on the rare occasion I wear a suit. Recently got a GEC Gepetto Whittler that's seeing some pocket time, although fit and finish was very disappointing for a $100 knife.

What are your issues with the GEC? I like the pattern but would be interested in your experiences before
pulling the trigger.
 
My usual EDC is a SAK Alpine Backpacker along with a stockman of some type plus a bigger one handed opener(usually Cold Steel or Kershaw).
On Sundays I switch them out with my nicer knives, usually a small custom FB(Meerdink) with a traditional.
 
Mine changes on a daily basis. Obviously some knives see more carry time than others but I try to switch it up. For me a lit of it depends on where I'm going and what I'm wearing.
 
I've been carrying the same knife for the past 3 years or so. Before that I seemed to buy a new knife every year or two to become a new EDC.

I've been involved in collecting watches for the past 5 or 6 years and watch collectors put their favorite watches into a rotation. I decided I would wear each watch in my rotation for a week and then switch to the next one. I was looking back at my knives that I used to carry and I decided I wanted to carry some of them again so I'm going to make up a rotation for my EDC knives and try to carry each one for a week.
 
After carrying a Delica 4 FFG 90% of the time for the past year or so, I've started to unload most of my other knives. I just don't carry them anymore. I'm not a collector, I see no point in keeping them.

I've finally come to the point where I have gone thru enough knives to know what I like and it's the Delica. The Boker Trance gets the other 10%.

+1. I try to carry everything I own.
 
My EDC's been the same for a few years now. Mini Grip on the right side and, since I got it a year or two back, Delica on the left. The only thing that changes is what else I might carry in addition to those two; usually a SAK of some kind--Huntsman, Executive, Classic. And there's a a SwissTool that lives in the boat anchor that masquerades as the bag I carry. LOL
 
Daily or every other day. Some particular knives sees more pocket time than others, but every single one gets carried and used.
 
When I got back into knives after a 15 year absence I was all about buying anything I could find (which, unfortunately, meant a lot of cheap crap). Now, as I've realized that a lot of it is/was crap, I'm down to 6 high quality, pass long to future generations-type folders. What I carry depends on what I want to carry that day and what pants/shorts I'll be wearing.

Now, I may have abated my locking folder buying, but I don't think I'll ever stop buying slipjoints.
 
Main knife usualy every six months for testing purposes, secondary knife SAK is always a same.
 
I usually swap out every couple of days. New knives get about a week straight in the pocket though.

Pretty much the same for me. I carry my larger knives on the weekend because people in the office tend to gasp when I pull out the ZT 0551 to open an envelope.
Dang sheeple!
 
Lately I've been buying or selling about 1 every couple weeks. Right now I only have a couple I edc and usually rotate every few days.
