My preference for a daily carry knife is something in the neighborhood of a 3 inch blade, and the first that I started with was one of Ed Caffrey's EBK's. Since then I've ended up with several others, but the size and design of the EBK makes it a regular in my carry rotation. I've ended up now with 3 EBK's, and wanted to show them here. First pic is of the 3 knives.
From the bottom: Standard model EBK with 1080 steel and blue/black G10 handle. Middle is a 52100 EBK with ivory micarta handle. Top is "Fossil" damascus with rootbeer jigged bone handle.
Just got new sheaths in for carry over the left front pocket. Knife is available to either hand. Sheaths from Rowe's Leather.
And all 3 in clothes:
The G10 handled version gets most of the daily use in rotation with a Burt Foster small Dark Side knife, and the others get used on nicer occasions along with the Michael Rader integral carry knife.
