At this point I'm not even sure if I care if Jerry brings out a folder, his fixed blades are keeping me dizzy just trying to keep up. Actually me and my credit card.:D
I've got lots of folders, most better than this one but this is what I carry 90% of the time. Easy to care for including sharpening (440C)
So what do you guys carry?

Columbia River M21-04.....it's the only folder I own.....I am not ready to drop a paycheck into a folder yet.
 
Spydie Manix, Merlin, Calypso, BM Ares, Switchback, and Kershaw Cyclone. There are some others but these hit the usual rotation.
 
These are a few of my favorite things... :D

The Lightfoot bottom) gets the most carry and sees the most action. I love that little blade. It's an M1 variant.

The other 2 are:
Hinderer Firetac w/ tanto recurve 'hellfire' blade (top)
Larry Chew Spitfire D/A Covert (middle)
Both are excellent knives.

Jaxx:cool:
 
Customized Spyderco Mili, Para mili, Manix, Endura, BM Ares, Strider SNG, AR, Small leather sebenza, DDR Gunhammer.
 
Spyderco Caly III of late. Great little knife. There are plenty of other Spydercos and Benchmades, but that's the one that has been getting pocket time.

Sometimes I'll slip a nice stockman into my pocket. Case CV, Schatt & Morgan, Queen, or Moore Maker (made by Queen) are the most frequent carries.
 
Benchmade. Either a 9050, OD 551, or 710.. ;)

Oh, yeah, and I usually have a Vicy on me somewhere..
 
Been packing an Ontario RAT1 folder for almost a year now. Tough knife to beat IMO. I have given it a couple days off to try out a CRKT M1 though. I had wanted to get a Rat Trap eventually but they abruptly went away. I snoozed and loozed :(
 
My folders are users, so I want something not pretty (and dang some of them above me are pretty) and well made. That means Benchmade.

I've got a mini-Griptilian and a 430. Currently I carry the 430 - only b/c it's thinner. But it's harder to "deploy."

I've also just purchased a 210 fixed-blade that I plan on turning into a pocket-carry knife. I like that thing a lot. Small and light, but will gut turdsucker pretty quick. I took a CQB class a few weeks ago and found out that it's REAL heard to pull a gun and stop an attacker that is givin a smackdown on you and the adrenalin dump is going to make a folder useless. Pocket-carried or horizontally-sheathed fixed blade is the best alternative in that case. Takes the fight out of them ASAP.

I've got a CRKT and am not impressed with it. For hte $, it's nice, but not as durable as I'd like. Plus I'm not a liner-lock fan. Spyderco's are nice too. I have one or two of them around, but find myself using the Benchmades.
 
...I have and have had many folders... the one that seems to spend more time in my pocket is the rat trap
 
I carry a Manix daily and a CRK Mnandi on special occasions...still trying to bring myself to put my Lambert custom into rotation but just can't seem to do it. Same with my Terzuola ATCF.
