I rotate 3 EDC's weekly-always clipped in my front pocket whether at work or walking down the street to the park with my daughter. Lionsteel SR1 gets the most carry. 2nd is a PARA 2. Just love that knife. And I carry a CGG Lg Sabenza maybe once a week just to change it up. Have some more nice stuff, but those are the most I can juggle at once and use/abuse them for anything I need.

I carry either a CR umnuzman or a zt350. Sometimes a hest folder.
In town and civilization. Usually my Benchmade 805-1101 TSEK.
When outside civilization hiking in the mountains, usually my Benchmade 530-901 REI Special since it so small and lightweight. Of course it's only a back up knife, to my Basic 6 LE that's usually strapped to my hip belt.

Wallet, pen, keys & phone pretty much take up my pockets, so I rarely pocket carry a knife anymore and have little use for a folder these days.
I used to carry an S5LE on my belt and a SAR 3 in a pocket sheath in my pocket until I had a special kydex sheath made for my snakeskin meaner hack (perfect length to replace the other two) which has been my main EDC for almost a year now. I always have my Surefire E2L AA Outdoorsman with me, best light I have ever owned. :thumbup:
2010 EDC's (not including the Zilla)
2011-present EDC's (I broke the SOG power pliers again, so that isn't carried anymore and the PMR isn't worn all the time either, but often enough)
I love the horizontal front of belt carry because of how easy it is to get to, especially when seated in a chair/truck/quad/etc. These pics were taken with me sitting on my recliner with my laptop just out of sight on my lap. This carry method for small INFI really eliminates the need for a folder, is way stronger and much quicker to use.
:thumbup: The sheath is designed for flexibility so it can also be used as a pocket sheath on the rare occasions when I am forced to pocket carry.

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (currently the M390/Blue G-10), ZT0550, Spyderco Yojimbo 2 and the Spyderco Gayle Bradley are my four in current rotation.
Anxiously awaiting the ZT0560, ZT0561, Hogue-Elishewitz EX-02 Flipper, Spyderco Air, Spyderco Tuff and multiple Para 2 sprints.

How do you like the PMR?
For me- Para 2 and a SAK...sometimes a Ritter Grip instead of the para 2.

I really like the Zero Tolerance series of folders. the quick opening lever on their knives make these some quick openers, not to mention the 0301 and the 0350 have assisted opening springs. for price, the 0200 is a great deal. had a sebenza micarta and traded it to get a couple of these little tanks.. great knives
Also can't fail to mention my Benchmade rukus 610 and 615s, the auto is a protech and the other benchmade auto is actually issue to the USMC, the spyderco is nice, but the tip of the blade is so thin, i'm afraid under serious use, it might snap

Leatherman xti (carry it for the pliers, but use the serrated blade for extreme abuse)
Case medium stockman in cv (for food prep and occasional minor surgery)
kershaw chill (box opener, general use)
Unfortunately I lost my chill when I set it down at a hot tub and then forgot about it, only to find it not there 8 hours later in the morning. I have 2 more coming in the mail, cause they are only 17$ shipped from amazon. It, next to the finn wolf (similarly priced), is one of the greatest value's in cutlery I know of today. Extremely compact for it's edge length, it is sharp, pointy, has no waisted space, weighs next to nothing, and yet is ergonomic.
(I actually carry the far left and far right, the scrap yard is there for comparison. The choil makes it a no go for daily carry, and I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep it as a "for others to use" camp knife)
While I'm waiting for my chill's to get here, I'm using the only other pocket knife I have, the svord peasant knife. I do miss the flipper action.

Alternately a ZT350 or A Para Mil 2.
