What folders are the Beckerheads carrying?

Most the time I'm carrying an Ontario Utilitac 2, sometimes an Ontario Rat 1. I'm quite happy with these two folders but sometime I'd like to get my mitts on a Buck Vantage Pro to see how it feels, might want one of those too.
 
I am blessed to have bunch of folders, and a bunch of SAKs and a bunch of multitools.

That said, for EDC, these seem to find their way into the pocket more than all of the others combined.

In fact, the Emerson SOCFK gets the most carry time, but when I travel or face situations where the number one risk to a folder (loss) is elevated, I carry the Kershaw-Emerson cousin.

All of them.....;). Good lord I have WAY too many folders. Seriously, I think if I didn't play favorites and just rotated them through, I could go maybe a month (including SAK's) with something different in my pocket every day. Possibly longer....but I'm afraid to actually do a head count, lest I freak out about materialism.

Of course, some of them I've had for more than a couple of decades.....but still.

In my pocket presently is a DLC black ZT 0350 blem. Mostly because this thread makes me think I ought to rotate a few through rather than just always carry the 3 or 4 favorites all the time. I don't believe in safe queens, but there are a few that might as well be given how little (never) they get carried.

I have a Benchmade Rift. But my Mrs got me a Cold Steel Tuff Lite and 3" Hold Out for Christmas. I like the Hold Out because of the size, nice and slim. But 90% of the time this is what is in my pocket (I am a Beckerhead, after all):

I use to carry a DMF Tanto until I lost it. I swear it in the house somewhere. Loved it because it was big and heavy and felt like a fixed blade when opened. Picked it up dirt cheap on a whim too. I refuse to replace it even with others I have. Being an electrician I'm use to having a bunch of crap hanging off my hips and I don't like digging in my pockets for a folder. Weight and size is no issue for me. Every since I picked up the 14 it has lived in my back pocket opposite my wallet and never looked back on a folder.

Gah Spike, I gotta make a sheath like that, keep seeing them is making me a lustful sinner for the pocket sheath!
 
I don't think I've responded to this.
The ZT0200 has been my primary folder since about 2 weeks after I got it (when I ground down the scales). I love the 0801BW; but it rarely pushes the 0200 or of my pocket. (When that does happen, I generally put the 0200 in my jacket pocket, anyway)
 
I've been back and forth between a ZT 801, Spyderco Southward, and a Spyderco Caly 3.5 lately. I also always have a Vic Farmer on me.

I really like this. I think this may be my next purchase.:)
 
I just recently picked up this Spyderco Domino.
There is a whole lot to like about this knife. The blue weave carbon fiber is amazing.



 
I am not a Beckerhead... yet...lol, but my folders that I carry are a leatherman wave on my belt and a SAK swiss champ in my pocket. These two will do 95% of things that I don't want to break my BK's out for. I also carry a Buck 110 if I am out hunting.
