Just thought I'd share this with you all. I call this the fab four. They are my most carried, most pocketable and most useful EDCs. All cv with the exception of the peanut. They will soon become the fab five however, as I have a yeller cv peanut on the way (yeah, I've joined the Cult Of The 'Nut:D).
Even tho I call these 'my most carried', the peanut has not left my pocket since I got it a couple of weeks ago.

Small slippies are the best!
Post some pics of your most carried little guys!

That is one heck of a quartet to have to choose from and I like that swayback a lot.

I think I have too many single blades for a sane person. Seems like one or two would do it for carry purposes. :D All of these get carried, but I have been considering spa visits and then I think na.

And these old fellas.

Been carrying an E.J. by Mike Zscherny pretty steadily for the last 2 weeks to get it broken in. ;)
 
Fine looking bunch. My selection of users isn't quite as streamlined, but they serve me well.

Now that I have them all laid out I think I need to find one more for an even dozen.

Christian, what are the two on the bottom of the left column and the one on the top of the right column?
 
Here's a photo of some of my favorite users. The swayback is my smallest knife... I think that I have 5 of them.

Edit: Oops! I left a Case Wharncliffe mini trapper out of the photo.

This Swayback that Kerry modified is the sharpest knife that I own.

The one with the federal shield is a Schatt & Morgan Harness Jack. The knife directly above it is an Imperial Cattleman. The stag knife with the bowtie shield is a Queen/Dan Burke Rancher.
 
Thank you. The jigged bone on that Schatt harness jack looks incredible for a production knife! And of course, that swayback is a beauty!

I can't get a good enough look at the little guy, 3rd from the top. Please tell me about it.
 
I really like the swayback jack. The bone has such a nice color. Thank you for the pics :)
 
Fabulous Four:

First, This knife has introduced me into the usefulness of the peanut. It was given to me by Vince in a give away. I can't say enough about this knife. A Camillus made (probably) bone handled Craftsman (Sears) peanut:

Next, I have to give credit to this little 3-blade Gerber Silver Knight a 250C wood model:

Next, my avatar knife by Jeff Mutz, red bone and 1095:

Not a particularly good pic. It is not even close to displaying this knife properly

and finally, the knife I reach for and has had more use than any other since I bought it, the amber bone wharncliffe mini copperhead:

It was hard to limit myself to four because I have quite a number of knives that I really like including the sowbelly experiment and the Keith Johnson TLAR sodbuster, this order and list could change over ttime, but it is the best shot I can give as of 8/6/11. - Ed J
 
Wow....those are some awesome knives there everyone :thumbup: Gus, Christian, Jake, ed....fantastic edc's,
Yobo...a nice quartet you have going on there Sir!
Gus....I agree with Mack...that wee knife is a beaut, and could I second that on Macks question....would like to know more...but what really interests me are the two old beauties you have shown in their own
separate photo...lovely-could you please tell us about these great looking knives?
 
This thread made me realize I haven't done an EDC group photo in a while.
Turns out I rotate out a baker's dozen on a regular basis. All of these have been carried at least several times this year.

Here's mine. The Queen serpintene jack is new but qualifies because I carried it for the 1st and only time yesterday. I got a yellow peanut in the same order but it lost out to the Queen. I think it will replace the little 1080 stockman in no time flat. The classic truly is with me everyday regardless of which main pocket knife I choose.

This little Queen jack has definately got my attention.

I recently rediscovered the SBJ and it's been in my pocket for about a month.

For everday using the peanut is impressive but the SBJ wins out in both form and function for me.

The 1080 Stockman is being retired/ replaced by the peanut.

Well, I'm not that sane anyways and I'm planning to put up a nice retirement home for expendable single blades:p I will take very good care of them:D
