What are your top 5 EDC knives and under which circumstances would you carry them?
My top five EDC knives:
1)
Victorinox Rambler: Always on my keychain, useful tools, small, unobtrusive, socially acceptable pretty much everywhere except with airport security.
2)
Victorinox Pioneer: Affordable, quality build, good-lookin', compliments any other knife I choose to carry (dressy or casual), excellent tool selection, demon slicer, non-threatening.
3)
CRK Large Sebenza 21 Insingo: Sturdy modern one-hander, quality build/materials, simple elegance of design, excellent blade geometry, basic/general maintenance that I can do myself without voiding warranty (
HUGE plus, imo), easy on the ol' pants pocket when using the clip, satisfies the inner knife-nut without compromising performance.
4)
William Henry B12 Atlas: For when I want to carry something smaller than my Large Insingo.
5)
CRK Small Sebenza 21 Insingo with micarta inlays: For when I want to carry something smaller than my Large Insingo but feel like a change from my WH Atlas or want something a little more robust.
Honourable mentions: Spyderco Delica 4, Caly 3, Chaparral. Emerson Mini Commander or Horseman. ESEE Izula 2.
