The TDI LE is made in a folding version, but does that count as a Becker? I think the BK11 folder idea is brilliant! Here's a pic of my project knife from the thread I wiped earlier.
Sorry it's upside down!

Here's some other EDC's

My last Becker pic seems to be MIA, but it was a 11 with the micarta handles attached, and a Firesteel Gobspark attached to sheath.

Looks like a customized Benchmade Ritter Griptillian.

While I don't always have this *on* me, it's always in my Jeep, so always *with* me - plus it's a Becker. 
The folder I carry the *most* earns that title because I've had it since it was new, in like '82 or so. I lost it once. Gone for a couple of years. Packin' up to move from LA to Bama, picked up the easy chair that had been sitting in the same place for two or three years, and this little gem fell out. I'd say it "came home" to me, but it never left home!
Schrade LB3:
As far as "normal sized" folders, I've had this Bradley Alias I for about 2 years now I guess, and it sees the vast majority of pocket-time over all my other larger folders. Love it. "The poor-man's Sebenza" is what it has been called before. Never had a Sebbie, but if they're as similar as people say they are, I probably never will, as there's no reason to spend the extra $125 or so bucks on a Sebbie as long as I have this:
I've got a bunch of other folders, but the only other one that's seen more than an occasional session in the pocket besides the Alias, is this Kershaw Breakout. Bought it on a whim. I like the 14C28N steel a lot better than Kershaw's previous mid-grade steel, the 8CR13MOV. Much better rust resistence, holds its edge much better, and having never owned an auto-opener before, this was an inexpensive way to see if I liked 'em or not at less than $70 bucks. Turns out I do like this one, but not enough to go buy a Protech or Piranha for at least twice as much. Cool knife though, just not cool enough to knock the Alias out of my pocket very often.

I have a few that I carry, but this one sees more pocket time than anything else.

Nice SRBraniac,
I like that old Omega. What slipjoint is that?
I have been carrying a yeller handled case sodbuster jr. lately.
I have carried about every folder at one time or another.

I have boxes of knives to carry from Benchmade, Kershaw, Buck, Case and some custom handmade knives. The one I carry every day is now a Case Trapperlock with Chrome Vanadium (50100-B?) steel. This knife will out cut the rest and is easy to sharpen. It is flat in my pocket and yet, because of design, it can give great reach. The only other knife I carry regularly is a Leek. I use this when I am in a pair of very light dress pants because it is so flat and light.

I usually carry a Kershaw Blur s30v, but for the past year I have carried the CRKT M21-12G. I always have my SAK Alox Cadet with me, and I am hoping to pick up the 2012 Kershaw Cryo to EDC, seems like the perfect size for me. I do occasionally carry my BK14 around, but not often.
