Lately i've been contemplating buying a 4.25 inch Case Stockman (carbon steel/amber bone).
I don't own any Case knives, the only slipjoints i have are SAK's , 2 or 3 Schrades and a bunch of old Imperials.
A well placed pic of your case might push me over the edge, lol!

Yeah guys the pics are great! Thanks for your feed backs. Im getting some great Ideas here for myself. I just changed my EDC to a SAK deluxe tinker with leather holster on my belt and a Vic Farmer in my pocket. I also have a Swiss Army Watch on my wrist. I feel like my greatest needs for Wilderness Survival tools would be Pliers, scissors, blade, Wood saw and tweezers. I have the Bic lighter with me all the time so I think I could handle making fire. The SAK deluxe tinker has the pliers and scissors and tweezers and the Farmer has the saw. I always have a Bandanna on me and a Mini flashlight around my neck.
 
Just to sum it up, I understand that there are other threads like this that has been discussed before, but myself and others EDC changes from time to time. So to me, those threads in the past do not matter. I just want to know what the folks here carry now, not last year. Besides, we are here to have fun and learn about each other and get great Ideas from one another. I learn something new everyday from you guys and I love it. Thanks everyone. Im not trying to step on toes or make anyone mad. I am just interested in learning from you guys and gals out there. I find the people that hang out here on the Wilderness and Survival forums fascinating people. It doesnt matter to me if you live in a city dwelling or in the middle of Alaska, I still want to know. I have a Bag that I keep in my truck for emergencies, besides what I carry on my body. I also have a small bag that my wife calls my Man Purse, that I carry with me were ever I go. Most of the time when we go to the movies or something we go in her car and my Man Bag is with me in that car. I dont carry it around on the store though.

Whys that?

I remember the last time I was in the movies, we had a huge thunder and lightning storm. It knocked out the power and the movie were PITCH BLACK, it was amazing, I dont know why or how but the exit lights were out too. I only had a Solitare maglite with me, Ill tell you one thing I dont miss the days of only carring that thing.
Upshot is, I know take my bag everywhere with me, even for a walk around the sub division.
