My EDC Rotation is quite deep, but if I had to list the Top 7 of my EDC collection based on pocket time and my preferences as of today, it would be the following:

(1) Kershaw Bel Air - Clip Point, Micarta
(2) Kizer Drop Bear - Elmax, Fatcarbon
(3) Benchmade Mini Barrage
(4) Spyderco Native 5 - Magnacut, serrated
(5) Vosteed Nightshade - Elmax, Copper
(6) ESEE Izula - S35VN
(7) Cold Steel American Lawman - S35VN

My EDC preferences change from time to time, but these are my top daily options as of today. I'm going to try to get some pics up soon when I have more time to play!
 
My rotations have always been random as the knives sort of roll around in a dresser
Currently as it stands my day job as a driver sees little to no knife use and when I get home to an apartment, its pretty much the same deal so im not as concerned with what I take out on a daily, because likely it won't be used (much) 😅
 
An EDC rotation?

I guess that "Every Day Carry" means different things to many people. I have a few knives, Buck 110, Spiderco (something), a Schrade fixed blade and a CRKT M18 (it's a flipper) . T . . ..but none of them come with me on most days. Oh, here are a couple of non-user collectables too but they never go out. What does is a Leatherman Wave Plus. That multitool comes with me whenever I put on my pants, along with keys and Wallet. I carry it literally each and every day.

That is my EDC.
 
As a multitool; the Wave Plus is an excellent-choice, for handling most EDC challenges. The replaceable jaws were one of Leatherman's best innovations, and upgrades to the pliers.

What you said comes off as pedantic. What's the fun owning a bunch of knives if you're not gonna carry them? I carry a knife every day. What knife that is just happens to change based on my whims. I feel like there's no reason to argue such semantics on an enthusiast forum.

It was just a topic of discussion that I thought might be interesting, but I'm sure it does not apply to everyone.

I agree with you. I have a very large collection of knives, but I'm not going to just put them in a safe or somewhere to collect dust. That is definitely not for me.
 
Edc can be broad or specific. I edc a knife etc.

Off work
Hogue Ritter magnacut with orange scales from an older ritter
Benchmade Bailout M4
Hogue Deka MC
GB2
Sebenza MC if im dressed up

If there were a “knife psychologists” they would commit me to a recovery center. My edc is all over the map! 🤣. I have been carrying a Benchmade Adira large since it’s supposed to be water rated and it’s summer. My toxic mailman swear is getting to it though.
 
I gave up on the strict term of "everyday carry" meaning ONE specific knife. Unlike to rotate and I have a lot of different knives to choose. All of them are reliable. Some are dressy, some are tough, so are just cool. I stopped trying to justify and decided that EDC to me means carrying a knife or some sort.

Most days? A Para 3 in Cruwear. The last week I have been carrying a SHF because I felt like it. I was fishing around in my desk at work today and came across my Microtech Amphibian, and that seems like a fine knife that will cut stuff for the weekend.

I just have too many knives that I like to limit myself.

The title is a bit of a misnomer. It can't be an "every day carry" if it's constantly changing. That said, how people choose when/what they leave the house with is their own business and I'm happy to see photos of it, regardless of their carry frequency

I know the temptation to debate semantics on this forum, but any reasonable knife enthusiast should be able to ascertain the nature of this post with little difficulty.
