Any bladed instrument goes.
For me, its the Condor Bush Cutlass. 30" total with a 24" blade

For knives, I carry a KH Raw Panawal. 10" blade.

4 inch folder per state law. Carry a larger fixed blade when hunting.
 
The longest blade I carry regularly would be about 3.6"-3.5", but I range all the way down to the Dragonfly and Strider PT for the small end. Largest folder I have is the BM 810 Contego, but I don't carry it much because of the size. 3.6" is about my max size limit for EDC's.

Current favorites in my med/large category:
Lg Sebenza
BM 581
BM Kulgera
ZT 550
Spyderco Southard
Spyderco Stretch ZDP
 
Any of my Millies in my right back pocket and a Rajah II at reach in my Falcon II backpack.



 
At my old job it used to be the ontario afghan at about 5" blade length. Daily is right around 3.5 inches (+/- a couple of tenths) for just about any of my folders. Largest folder currently is 3.99"
 
Weekdays no greater than 3.5", just to much knife for dress pants/khakis etc. Usually I carry 3" or less to work. When I'm not working, I'll carry whatever best suits what I'm doing and I'm going. 4" is the largest folder I have (CS Recon 1).
 
I used to EDC a cheap chinese linerlock with a 4 inch spear point blade for about 18 days. Then the knife (very predictably) lost it's edge. It can't be re sharpened anymore because the poor quality stainless steel is prone to chipping. Now l edc a Spyderco Harpy
 
I have a lot I rotate, but my Military (4") is the biggest folder I own and carry.
 
I've been carrying my Emerson Ubr Commander a lot recently. It has a 4.4" blade but carries surprisingly well in the pocket.
 
Right now it's my Medford TFF-1 Fatdaddy
But before that it was either my Grayman satu Ti-Ti (GREAT KNIFE)
or my Strider RW-1
 
I carry a zt 0170 combat knife in my boot, a 6.5" blade. Im getting kind of tired of lugging it around for the past year or so, it has worn holes in the bottom of two pairs of boots. Im going to get a cold steel kobun pretty soon to replace the zt as a more comfortable/practical boot carry. Aside from that I carry cs mega folders pretty often, the ones I have now are the holdout 1 6" blade, tanto and clip point voyagers 5.5" blade. I carry large primary edc's most of the time too that are around a 4" blade like bm 275, zt 0561 and 0200, spyderco manix 2 xl, military, endura and resilience, and of course the cs recon 1 clip blade.
 
4" Cold Steel Ti-Lite... this is a great knife with one real purpose but it does look neat slicing an apple. :)
 
For actual large knife EDC I most often carry these in this order:
810
Military

For day hikes usually a PM2 or one of the big folders and a fixed blade:
810
Military
Bravo1, Esee 4, Esee 6

For a camp knife fixed blade the Esee 6 was it last year. This year the Bravo II will be thrown in the mix to go on my belt.
