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

I've owned hundreds of Spyderco's and have a few more on my want list.
But here's my carry rotation these days though.

Awesome blades, you have really excellent taste
 
If not Spyderco, then it runs a gamut of knives. One combo I've been favoring is the P'kal paired with a nice slipjoint, like a Lone Wolf City knife or a Case Norfolk whittler.

The P'kal is an awesome blade.
 
I carried a Kershaw 1 ton for a good amount of time before I got my Spydie PM2.
Due to me never carrying anything else since my PM2 yes I still have a case of knives I figured it'd be a good idea to throw some other blades into my EDC rotation. So for the past few days I've been carrying my Kershaw Echelon. I never really used it for EDC before so I didn't realize why people complained about the speed safe on it... Now I understand. What a pain...
I'm definitely going to be doing some surgery to remove the speed safe.

Other than that it's a pretty sweet little lightweight EDC.
 
Probably nothing if i cannot manage a Ladybug/Manbug/Delica somehow, although the 1-8 stays handy most everywhere, too...

I too have a pile of knafs. A couple of Spydies are among my favorites (Domino and Lil' Lionspy)

But I gotta give some love to Benchmade and ZT; I have a handful of both that I like very much and carry regularly. Also solidly in the rotation are pieces by Lionsteel, Buck, Brous, and Guardian Tactical.

I'd say Brous and Guardian Tactical are the tops for me overall right now, to be honest. But I like them all.

I'd say these are my personal top 5 at the moment, in terms of what I like

And that, folks, is how Ladybugs are made....unless, of course, they feel oppressed by genetic specific sociological pressures, in which case they can become a Manbug named Bruce or even a Dragonfly...
 
Benchmade 705 is my only non-Spyderco. It was my wedding gift from my wife in 2003 and retired in 2013. I found Spyderco and realized if I have not lost the knife in 10 years it should be put away.
 
This thread made me realize, just a little bit more, how many Spydercos I own, how much I enjoy them and how often they get pocket time over other manufactures offerings in my collection. When a Bug-bearing blade isn't called for duty, the top three stand-ins are:

-Benchmade 940-1
-Benchmade Mini-Grip, Ritter variety.
-Al Mar Hawk Ultralight

Of course, since I'm ALWAYS toting a Ladybug H1 Hawkbill along with whatever my primary blade choice might be, I'm never without a Spydie. *Disqualified* :D
 
Usually a victorinox. Sometimes the kershaw blur or benchmade grip but 80% of the time its a spyderco. Usually the delica, manix 2 or para military 2.
 
Kershaw, BM, CRK, almost always a traditional of some kind, usually a GEC, Case too, and sometimes a Victorinox. I have ZT's but don't carry them often due to size.
 
As of lately, it's been all Spyderco.
I'm tempted to shotgun my Higonokami or my Soddie Jr.
