If you carry the same knife daily, what is it?

I have this Evolution 10 for just ten days, but it is either in my pocket or in my hand eve since, doesn't matter I am home or away. I also have the similar Sportsman, but never warmed-up to it. Both knives have the same tools, just the file, bottle opener, and the blade are different. The Evolution's blade is wider and thinner. I saw few videos on Youtube, and the reviewers went to all tiny details and comparisons to other SAK, but missed that the blade is tinner. It was sharp, but I sharpened it anyway, as I do with all my new knives. Now is it is as sharp as my Opinel #7, and slices the same, or nearly the same. I have mentioned before that Opinels makes me a little nervous, now I can add this knife I am more careful when using it.

For several months now, it has been a custom Victorinox Compact. It's like this one, but with the corkscrew and hook replaced with a #2 Phillips and reamer. It does the job every time. I find that at my desk job, I can get by with just two layers' worth of tools. I have a small kitchen knife with scabbard in my desk drawer for food duty and a CRKT Piet for box duty, so the Compact doesn't have to do the rough duty of breaking down boxes except when I'm on the other side of the building and it's all I have on me.

Something made me "get back into knives" and now I'm rotating daily again. (today it's a teal Kershaw Leek; masterpiece of a knife design, IMO)
 
Since buying a Spyderco Endela with K390, it has been my daily carry for maybe two years now. Only when going to a Dr appt or where I can't carry a firearm, do I switch to a Spyderco Military. I really like the size of the Endela and how natural their lock back operates. The only problem I've had with it was when I cut some sappy vines and washed it. Without thinking, I just put it in the drain, forgetting how little chromium there is in K390. You'd think I'd know better since most of my kitchen knives are carbon steel, but I was just not thinking. The next day rust had etched into the blade, leaving a permanent reminder of my mistake.
 
Well, That's a hard one... I tend to Carry either the Black Spartan HF or the Spyderco PM2 in M4. One is Heavy Use the other is more of a slicer but still plenty tough...

The other SHF and PM2 are mostly safe queens.

Side note... I would carry the Spartan TT (fixed blade), but its a little much for edc... ( I did acquire this on these here forums btw)

 
Been carrying this small Sebenza daily since I got it a little over a year ago. It is a great size for me, mostly fills my hand and has a lot of blade packed in there. Great clip point design, Jimping, pocket clip, ability to have a lanyard ( or not), locking blade and thumb stud opening. I like the micarta inserts because they look similar to wood but are more durable and they keep down on the snail trail look. It replaced two larger knifes that were rotated for many many years.
The Bradford 3 has been with me since the first part of July this year. I like the always readiness of the fixed blade carried scout in front as well as the ease of cleaning. Tshirt conceals it to all but the most prying eyes but I “mostly” carry it on the acreage and not necessarily on all city trips. Still, all day most every day.

I’ve carried my Benchmade Griptilian in 154CM for close to 10yrs. The blade coating has almost worn off, and the knife is far from mint, but I carry it daily to work. The function and lock up are still solid. It feels new but has served me well for a long time.
I like to carry it because the price point is such that I don’t worry about actually using it, and the ergonomics are good. It’s a good size knife that’s useful for many tasks.

A well loved knife is better than anything you can buy :cool:
 
Good old generation 1 Mnandi.

M-F I wear a suit so I need a gentleman's knife. For the weekend I planned on my Sebenza or an Eklipse I just bought. I also considered my trusty old Delica. However I never came across something the Mnandi couldn't do. With that said unless I am going to a place knives are banned or I could lose it the Mnandi tags along.
