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

When I'm not carrying my Slysz Bowie or Sage ll then I'll sport a CRK Lg 21 tanto, Umnumzann(WC) or my CRK Lg21 CF.
 
I carry a CRK (large micarta insingo) about as often as my PM2...maybe a little less. More likely to get pocket time are my Hinderer XM18, a ZT (most commonly a 0200kw or 0560), or my Carson Tech Boiling. I've got a Stider coming next week (SnG CC) that may, or may not, join the mix.
Those are the competition...no matter which of the above I'm carrying, I also have a traditional in another pocket usually a single bladed GEC 15 or 92. If I can in any way justify it, I may also have a fixed blade (LT Wright Patriot on my belt, or bacustomknives EDC utility in my back pocket)
 
If not a spydie either a zt or my m390 Benchmade 710 that I do love

At work I have a smaller rotation of knives, I'm a automotive painter and I prefer my knives over razor blades for a lot of things. I use my to jumbo 2 , chokwe and Benchmade 581 mostly
 
On the rare occasion there isn't a Spyderco in my pocket, it's one of a few. If I'm wearing jeans (stiff, tough pocket) its a ZT, most often the 0562 though can be a 0560. If its dress slacks, its usually a CRKT Ripple. It's about the most inoffensive pocket clip knife I can imagine. Its almost art. I back that up with an all black Leek.
For better than 25 years it was a Delica or Endura. The last year or so I moved to a Sage2 though I'm thinking of adding a 3rd Domino and using it as my EDC.
 
The only 10% of the knife carrying time I don't have a Spydie on me it's usually a Cold Steel, CRKT Fixed Blade and/or a beater, disposable chinese knife, opinel, etc...

I'm technically not allowed to have a knife at work, so Monday through Friday, 7-3, I have a Case Sodbuster in my pocket *shhhhhh* ;)

That's a bummer
My Monday thru Friday work knife is a Delica, my pictures above are some of my weekend non Spyderco EDC rotation
 
Yeah I really wish I could carry a spydie at work but high schools tend be pretty strict about knives. At least I don't have to cover up my tattoos [emoji106]🏽
 
If I'm spydie-less, I'll have a Benchmade 940-1 or 761, a Farid Mehr mini K2, or one of my various fixed blades.
Today it's an Iron Roots Nargusta/Bamascus.

If not a Spyderco then it's usually Benchmade or ZT that wiggle in. It's not often I don't have a PM2 on hand though because I usually carry a couple so they don't get lonely 😎
