What do you carry when you don't carry a Spyderco?

Nice FHM. I got a bunch of BMs I dont carry. Last time I packed a BM it was my 51 with Flytanium Ti scales. On 4th of July I took out my Strider SNG. But mostly Spydies for me. My Endura 4 FFG did it for me it kicked out my Grip.
 
I usually EDC an Endura. Lately it's a saber ground ZDP-189 E4. Oddly enough, I find the ZT-560 and ZT-562 will share pocket space almost as well as the Endura. I took the ZT-562CF to a funeral the other day just for something a bit more fancy with the suit.
 
I have Benchmades, ZTs, Kershaws, RATs, Victorinox, Leathermans, Wengers, Bokers, Yadayadas and Etceteras in my EDC rotation....

They are almost always paired with a Spyderco of some sort, however!
 
If I'm not carrying a Spyderco I'm carrying this -



A JK Rule # 9 in O1 steel with greenheart scales. I dare you to find a more rugged knife than a JK.
As seen in my sig line.

Even with this I am very likely carrying a Spyderco clipped somewhere on me. Don't need much else.
 
Benchmade 610 Ruckus, Benchmade 51 Morpho Bali-song, Benchmade 710 McHenry and Williams, Benchmade Infidel, Kershaw Clash, CRKT Drifter, Mantis Pit Boss, Leatherman Wave, I rotate these around according to my percieved needs for the given day...usually have 2-3 of these at hand...
 
If not a Spyderco, then either an XM-18, a Bad Monkey, or a BM 940-1. Occasionally for dress occasions, church or something of the like, I'll carry a BM 480-1 if I'm not carrying my Damascus CF Caly 3.
 
Pretty much anything from South African Custom makers and this one as of late:

If it ain't a spydie it's a pocket fixie or my 0562cf!

Im normally a spydie only guy but recently won a ZT 0562 in a raffle. How do you like yours? I was planning on trading it in towards a Rubicon at my local shop but I might just carry and beat the hell out of it at work instead since I only have $50 into it.
 
Where i live locking knives are illegal to carry in public, but i mostly prefer small knives these days anyway so i usually carry one of these or something similar.

If not a spyderco, I carry a large 21 seb or a dpx heat. My pocket/belt fixed is always one of my two smaller JK Knives, either the Mini Canadian Belt knife (middle) or my USK (bottom) in a horizontal belt sheath.
 
If I'm not carrying my Kiwi4 or my SS Dragonfly then it's a traditional from Great Eastern, usually my #82 Dixie Stockman. I just haven't found any moderns I like as much as Spydercos.
 
ok... on occasion, :D I'll EDC my CRKT Journeyer. It's a very cool modern slippie.
 
Like most I have many knives in the rotation but lately I'm carrying some Spydercos. I've also been carrying an Ontario Rat 1 I bought recently which was a real positive surpise. I have quite a few CRK's but my small regular Sebenza in BG-42 from the nineties has always been a favorite. There's nothing like precision!
