I think theses pretty much see the most pocket time on a daily basis; and I could add the ol Swiss Army Knife as well. Do you look for anything in particular when searching for the next blade, or just something that catches the eye?

I seem to have a thing for titanium, carbon fiber, and m390. Most have a nice belly in the blade as well.

I tend to carry combos but my main ones at the moment are the Full-Track with a GEC 92, and the Inkosi Insingo with a GEC Possum Skinner. This time of year my hiking combo gets plenty of carry as well, which is The Jurassic with an LT Wright fixed blade. Also, I'm almost always carrying a SE Dragonfly.

My rotation at the moment:
1: Shirogorov quantum (Sunday carry only)
2: Xm-18 fullered spear with working finish showside scale
3: olamic rainmaker (plain ti with 5 satin holes)
4: CRK Umnumzaan
5: CRK Inkosi
6: Benchmade 761

I got other stuff, but probably wont carry anymore

Out of them all, I'd say xm-18 gets most pocket time, followed by Umnumzaan.

I'd carry the Shiro more, but it's too nice. Really on another level..
 
Things have not really changed much for me. Most of the time I reach for full-size Griptilion, Kershaw Zing, or a SAK Cadet depending upon my plans. A Benchmade 531 sometimes takes the place of the Kershaw.

A member here recently gave me a little Gerber LST that has been fun. Just drop it in my pocket and not ever worry about it.

Normally don't need a fixed blade but a Benchmade 162 is ready and waiting.

I'm just guessing here, but do you like titanium handled knives?
 
The ones I stick in my pockets most are my custom M4 Grip, Super Freek, or custom Crooked River, my Spydie choices are Shaman, M4 Manix 2 XL, or Bento Box PM2, and thats pretty much it at the moment. I'll probably have others I swap out here and there, like my 0562 or 0801ti, just never know.

Lol

I bought the 761 last year, and developed mad ti disease

My WANTED list includes:
Koenig arius
Grimsmow norseman
Shirogorov neon zero
Shirogorov f95 turtle

I should have most of this list by 2022 I hope. I'm just a blue collar working stiff, so it won't be overnight
 
I don't really rotate much.
I carry a Hoback A15, REK Quarantine, and a Buck 501 (usually green canvas on s35vn)
OR
I switch to a Reate K2, custom fixed blade, and the aforementioned Buck 501.

Periodically, something compels me to make a change... and I'll swap out one, or all. Like today, for example - I didn't pocket the 501 with my A15/Quarantine. Got an Enigma in US2000MC (Zwear), instead.
 
I don't have a rotation set. Everyday I have my sak huntsman and a wenger patriot. I always know what I have and where they are. Works for me.
 
These days anymore it's either one of these small Sebenzas or my Spyderco Brouwer with a Kershaw Cinder thrown in loose sometimes. The small Sebenza is just perfect to me, especially with an insingo blade. Size, materials, and obsessive fit and finish. A few weeks ago I decided to pick up and try the Brouwer and I love it so I've pretty much been carrying that exclusively lately. It's like a small Sebenza that borrows a few features I really like from some of my other knives (plus the color...).
