What are your top 5 EDCs??

Well, now after a year writing on this thread I can comment on some changes of my EDC. The primary, every day carry is still the Pacific Salt in the LFP. Hasn't moved from there a single day, but I bought a backup that curiously enough I got in the mail today just in case 2017 it's his last year (loss, breakage, etc.)

The carries have been more or less this way the last 10 months since I posted, in total carry time of that category:

LFP: Pacific Salt (100%) and most days, hanging inside, a Tasman Salt (70%)
RFP: Hold Out I (20%), Rajah II (15%) Talwar L (15%), AK47 (15%), Broken Skull (10%), Voyager XL (10%), Espada L (5%), Rajah III (5%), Spyderhawk H1 (5%)
SAK: Executive (50%), Swisschamp (15%), Champion (15%), Explorer (10%), Wenger S557 (5%), Mountaineer (5%)
MT: SOG Blacktip (20%), MP800 (20%), SOG Powerlock (10%), Spirit (25%), ST300 (10%), MP600 (10%), Wingman (5%)
Fixed: Jumpmaster (20%), Aqua Salt (30%), CS Roach Belly (20%), CRKT Minimalist (10%), Mora (10%), Spyderco ARK (10%)

So my EDC in the very strict sense has remained the same

5. BM 943 ( would be higher if they offered it in m4 or m390/20cv)

This is a sad thread for me, I currently don't even own five knives.
I only have four:

1. ZT 0562cf (loving it, new favorite edc)

2. Spyderco Dragonfly 2 zdp-189 (most carried, super light, great knife)

3. Boker Magnum (Christmas gift from brother in law, never carried)

4. Swiss Army Knife (lives on my key chain, super handy)

5 spyderco gayle bradley
 
1&2. My most carried EDC knife currently is the ZT0095BW, in my RFP. I also daily carry a Karambit (currently a Brous) in my LFP. Usually the Karambit stays even when I switch my primary knife to something else. Victorinox Swisstool and Surefire Aviatior are on me at all times as well.






3. My next most commonly carried is the Adamas. I carry this knife when I know my activities will include some hard/outdoor work or something that will otherwise require a heavy duty knife. I'm self employed and wear many hats, so that could be a few days a week, every day for a couple of weeks, or even for a few hours until I go home and switch to something else.

Sometimes on these occasions I change my Karambit out for a Griptilian, but not so often that I would include it in my top 5.




4. Next would have to be the Spyderco Pacific Salt. This is my around the house knife, so I carry it at some point every day. I also carry one (but the black version) when I'm at the beach or go Kayaking.




5. Number five is not so straightforward. When I'm not doing one of the activities above, I like co carry any of a variety of blades out of my collection that match whichever watch I may be wearing at the time. I know that may be cheating on the whole top 5 thing (I often have trouble following rules :p ), but this is how I carry/collect.









 
My EDC changed a lot but for now I've settled on these
Shiro Neon
Ritter grip
940-1
PM2
Kershaw blur (keep on my work uniform)

1. This is my main daily EDC. Around home, around town, around office:

2. If I need to break up #1 just to keep it fresh or feel like FFF (Fanatical Flipping Fit), occasionally these rotate in:

3. Expecting real work--sucka gonna get used!

4. Dressing up for a special occasion:

5. Going backpacking, camping/fishing, or out with the Scouts (black in pocket, orange in kit for backup):

Honorable mention: the old school Delica goes with me to church every Sunday. The Zoom Mini frequents my pocket when there is uncertainty in the air and I want to be prepared for the likelihood of use, abuse, damage, or loss. It's been a great knife!
