What is the longest blade you carry on a regular basis?

These seem to work well together.

Large sebenza in pocket.

Kitchen knives in work bag (I don't leave my knives at work), so it's carried to my car daily :p
The longest blade is 300 and other 2 are 270 mm blades.

I've carried some of Cold Steel's large folders before, but the largest I carry "regularly" is my Cold Steel Ti Lite 4''
 
Largest I carry regularly would be the Spyderco Military. I have yet to find a task where I needed more blade.
 
Shirogorov 111. 110mm blade (4.3")

Usually thoigh it's a hati, 95mm or 3.7"
 
Did you ever think about the Sykes Fairbairn? You can get a high quality German made one for under $50

Its never appealed to me much aside from being WW2 which I always like. I cant carry a dagger where I live though. I like the kobun because its just about the perfect size for comfort and capability and any knife I boot carry gets scratched up like crazy so im not gonna worry about a $35 kobun. My zt looks like its been used for 10+ years.
 
My EDC is a Spyderco Endura 4, when I'm hunting I have a Ka-Bar/Dozier designed 7" blade strapped to my day pack.
 
On a regular basis.

Spyderco Military(4"), and a Large Sebenza would be the next largest I carry on a regular basis.
 
EDC - 3.5" anything larger is just impractical and less useful for me
Hunting - 4-5" bladed fixed blade
 
3 inch blade or under. Any blade over 3 can be considered a dangerous weapon (although they have to prove intent) in MI. To avoid any hassles, I stick to 3 or under. Spyderco Delica 4 FFG (2.88) is my edc 90%. Vic tinker or Boker Trance (2.75) the other 10%.

Cold steel voyager xl 5.5" tanto blade. I edc it at least twice a week. I bought the knife as a novelty but I fell in love with how it slices. I'd buy a smaller one but I'm saving for my grail knife.

My EDC rotation ranges from the PM2 on the short end to 4" blades such as the Spyderco Military or ZT 0561. I'm interested in adding a Spyderco Manix 2 XL to the group.
 
The longest fixed blades I use often are a Spyderco Temperance, a D2 Scott Gossman Tusker and a custom by a local bladesmith, all of them with blades about 5" long. I don't really need or like anything much larger, at least not on my person all day long (I do keep a khukri, machete, axe or big Becker in my saddle bags).

When it comes to folders, about 4" is what I carry most often (Microtech Socom, Spyderco Police 3, Benchmade Bedlam, various ZTs, etc.), however I use my huge CS folders more often than I thought I would. I've got my Talwar XL in my pocket right now.

Here are pictures of the Tusker and M. Gugliotta's "Trueno" ("Thunder" in Spanish):

About 3.5" My usual daily carry comes to the office when I'm wearing a suit & tie, and that's a 3" Sage 1. Out of work, in jeans or Dockers it's usually a ZT 566.
