Nice knives, OP! :thumbup:

These are my one-handers that see the most pocket time in rotation...

I'm not really a believer in "rotating." I just pick a tool that works and use it until it's worn out. From ~1955 to 1970, I carried an old Colonial slip joint that my grandfather gave me. From 1970 to 2000, I carried a Schrade stockman. A buddy of mine gave me a small Sebenza 12 years ago and I've had it in my pocket everyday since. I doubt I'll live long enough to add anything else to the "rotation."

This is my main rotation. Many others see some pocket time, but these see the most.

I like all the knives posted so far.

I wish I had friends like you do!
 
For the past month it was my BM275BKSN, then a couple weeks ago I got my BM275BK Limited Edition that took it's place. I also got my Dozier Workhorse soon after, and last week it was the Fox/Citadel Deimos. So these are my rotation knives for the here and now. I suspect the Workhorse will find it's way into my pocket more often than the other two.

This is the first pic I have ever seen of one of these with actual wear on it. Ever. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the praise guys. All 4 of these folders are well regarded tough examples. Of the 4 the ZT 350 is the best bargain, hands down, at $90.00 among $400.00 ones, it rates right up there. The large Sebenza 21 fits my hand the best and thumb stud opens the easiest. The LCC D/A is, well, in a word, quick. Lastly the SR-1 V is the pick of the group, this is the most rugged made folder I've ever had in my hand. My ZT 0551 sits in the box, new, with the other collectibles, also all new.

I go to the arsenal once or twice a day, and just pick something. The top Spyderco flavors are common choices, but it could be anything from an entry level Kershaw assisted opener to an Emerson.

I admire Brother SpookyDriver for sticking with the same knife for decades. I just can't do that. I can barely make it through one day on the same knife.
 
Well my 'rotation' use to consist of just my Spyderco Tenacious but now includes:

Spyderco Endura 4 FFG
Spyderco Delica 4 FFG
Spyderco Sage 1

The Sage is my companion for dress up days, the Endura for when I'm more casual, and the Delica hasn't seen a ton of pocket time in the past few weeks but I might flip the clip around and carry it in my left pocket as a secondary blade.

The Tenacious still gets a ride in the pocket from time to time and is definitely still getting used for any task I want to spare my nicer blades from :D
