#3 - Three Sisters Forge Beast
#4 - Northwoods Knives (Freemont, President both in Mammoth)
#5 - Curtiss F-3 Small

I cheated a little...........
 
#1 Buck vantage force select. Modern and low profile. By far the best pocket clip ever.
#2 Victorinox farmer. My favorite multi functional knife. Slim and tough. I have a custom lanyard for use in the outdoors. It is connected to a paracord belt loop with a nite ize carabiner, so it can be detached and used easily.
#3 Stockman. In whatever brands iteration I feel on said day.
#4 Kershaw blur serrated tanto with the tiger stripe finish. I usually carry this when I know I'm going to be in some skeevie places over the day.
#5 Buck 110. I love the design and style so much that I force myself to carry it in spite of how heavy and inconvenient it is. Although I'm slowly losing patience with buck not producing a modernized version.
 
Not necessarily in this order:

PM2 (Camo/Satin)
Endura 4 (black or orange)
Manix II LW (black or trans blue)
LT Wright Patriot (desert ironwood)
Bradford Guardian3 (orange or black G-10)
 
My top five? How about six?

Right now I carry a Vic Cadet till the end of the month. Part of the March 30 day challenge.

Normally I carry a Kershaw Zing (US made). One of these is in my pocket more than any other knife.

The others are as follows:

Benchmade 551 Grip.

Benchmade Volli. I carry the Grip more though.

CRKT Prowler (Not very often)

I also carry a Gerber EAB and/or a Vic Mechanic in my gear bag for work. Some cheap traditionals are beginning to work their way into my rotation too. However, the knives listed above are the most common. Have also tried a knife on my keyring like my wife does. Disgusting
 
I only have a top 2...

Hinderer Fatty XM18 for heavy duty

Carbon Fiber Sebenza 25 for light duty
 
In no order, just based on what I need it for
Around campus EDC: Spyderco Delica 4
Around the house: SAK Fieldmaster II
Reliable EDC: Spyderco Paramilitary 2
Tank EDC: zero tolerance 0350
EDC /possible self defense: Cold steel recon 1 tanto
 
These are the knives that I've been carrying recently, listed by size.

For a small knife, Spyderco Dragonfly. I've found nothing thus far that I like better for a fully usable small knife.

For my purposes, medium is a knife with a blade 3" or slightly less in length. In that range, I rotate a Benchmade Mini Axis Stryker, Benchmade 707 Sequel and an Emerson Mini CQC7BW (that I have "de-Waved").

I no longer carry anything really large. My largest knives only have blades around 3.5". So these are my "large" EDC knives using my definition: Benchmade Axis Stryker, Benchmade 943 or an Emerson CQC7A that I've reprofiled to a standard double bevel edge.

I've recently bought both an ESEE Izula and a Candiru and I've been carrying one of those in addition to a regular folding knife. I'm not sure where these knives might fit into the rotation but I like them and may continue to use them.
 
1. ZT0630 - most daily carry knife
2. Spyderco Caly-3 ZDP - when I need more "polite" knife
3. Emerson CQC-13 serrated - weekend, outdoor, night walks
4. Spyderco Military - picnics, barbeque
5. Extrema Ratio Fulcrum-2 - the tank for fun ))))
And Leatherman Charge or Surge in the bag depending of situation
 
I have 7, not in any order:
1. PM2
2. 550 grip
3. Ritter grip M390
4. ZT0450CF
5. BM 943
6. XM18 3" slicer
7. Dragonfly 2

Here are my most carried ones lately. Tha sak is a Compact, really nice compromise between utility and size. i do switch to a Swisschamp when i take my dogs out for off leash runs in the woods behing my house. Thats 2 to 4 hours a week, the rest of the time i have the Compact on me.
I got the Mini-Grip in trade, had no plans to keep it, just trade it for something else. Why would i want a silly tanto bladed knife? I found out why, cuz they are AWESOME! Long story short i fell in love with it and have carried it everyday since getting it, maybe three months ago. My Spydercos sit neglected and i am as happy as a pig in poop with this little work horse.
Traditional pocket knives are what really got me into knives and i rarely get far from home without one. I have accumilated a lot of them over the years and usually have a major rotation change once or twice a year. Lately i have been mostly carrying my newest, the ebony Muskrat, once or twice a week i have left it at home and carried the clip bladed 56. I included the spear bladed 55 because i have carried it in addition to the Musktat or 56 Dog-Leg jack a few times.
So my main edc is my Mini-Grip, Victorinox Compact and my GEC ebony Muskrat, with a little extra slip-joint goodness mixed in and just a dash of Swisschamp.
