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

That is beautiful! Just wish they made a flipper version :(

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.

I am 100% not a Benchmade guy but I absolutely LOVE seeing blades this well-used. Very nice!
 
I wish my mini grip looked that well used, but somehow, the clip didn't keep it secure enough, either getting in and out of a uhaul truck or I brushed up against something helping during a move and lost it. grrr.

Replacement scale for your SHF? What do you have going on there, that sounds interesting.

I picked up a gently used beadblast finish in the marketplace, and once it was in hand noticed the jimping on the show scale was a little off. I emailed Spartan and they immediately wanted to ship it to them at no cost to me. I countered and told them if they just want to send me a new scale, I can do the labor but I would prefer a DLC scale. They obliged and it's on the way. I'm about to have maybe the only two tone handle SHF with all factory parts 😁 Spartan customer service was outstanding to deal with and the lady (Kimberly)that handled my service ticket is a class act, I could not be more happy with the whole affair!

Ooo, all I have to say about all that is Hell yea! That's really good to hear that Spartan is taking care of people like that.
 
A black micarta/bronze sheild Jared Oeser/Reate F22 Lee Williams KickStop flipper and a Victorinox Signature pocket knife (1.5" blade, scissors, tweezers, and a retractable pen - nice little package).
 
For the longest time it was a Strider PT.

The general size just worked for me and carried int he pocket very well.

Yep, they have been awesome and obviously extremely accommodating, they will be getting more of my money for sure.
 
I rotate folders and f/b's, but the one constant always in my left front pocket is a Spyderco hawkbill Ladybug. Handy lil' blade that gets the job done.👍

I have carried the Strongarm as a neck knife every day for about a month, not just for farm chores but also out and about. I love the convenience of a neck knife--it's so much easier to draw than a pocket knife, especially when I am driving and my wife wants to use it to open an ebay package. I put my fingers around the handle and my thumb automatically goes in place to pop the sheath off. I carry other knives, too, but have hardly used any of them lately. That needs to change, though. I've been thinking about what additional knives, in a pocket and a belt sheath, would complement the Strongarm.

A White River Sendero Classic, for the last 4 years. S35VN, Richlite handle, and the first one with a hand-rubbed satin finish. Very handy little knife...

I’d love to pick one of these up some day. Looks like a great design. Just grabbed a Montana Knife Company Speedgoat in magnacut. Waiting for it to come.

Most days I have my SAK Tinker. Love the weightt and blade size
 
Before the plague hit when I was working in the office, my trusty companion for the better part of 40 years was a SAK Spartan, and it got used a lot. Now I don’t get out more than once or twice a week, but when I do it’s usually a Buck Sprint Pro and a SAK Evogrip 11.
