What is your most - USED - EDC knife?

I appreciate that sir, the convexed chisel edge on it is both sharp and tough - I use that one for pretty much any cutting task.
 
This Yuna EQ-1 does pretty much all my cutting at work, mostly boxes 'n such. The reason...it's zdp-189, so I only have to sharpen it every few months :D

No pictures, but my most used knife overall is an Emerson cqc7. It's 10 years old and has seen as much pocket time as most of the rest of my collection combined (mostly because it was my only knife for several years after I lost my sebenza)
Out of my collection now, my most often carried blade is my small carbon fiber sebenza.
 
It is not necessarily my 'favorite' knife, but I have carried a Blade-Tech Pro Hunter Magnum folder to work every day for the last four years. Orange G10, S30V. It is one that I have no worries about using/abusing, and has worked like a champ (better than I had expected). I have been thinking about re-profiling the blade (removing the secondary bevel) so that it is a more efficient slicer. The generous thumb hole and basic liner lock work pretty well for my constantly gloved hands.
 
Spyderco Dragonfly ZDP-189. It's small, discreet, holds an edge and cuts well for its size. I use it for opening packages of all kinds and yesterday I used it to cut up a couple of old credit cards that I no longer use. I also use it if I need to cut out a piece of paper, like a hobby knife.
 
Victorinox Farmer. Cuts and slices daily. If I didn't use it every day, I'd not carry it every day.

Cutting up credit cards is the best thing you can do with a knife. One of the worst things you can do with a credit card is by a knife.
 
Not necessarily my most carried but most used. I use this 1973 Case 6392 stockman every day for something.

Right now I carry my "beater" knife, a Kershaw Starter 1301BW as it's convenient for what I use if for (breaking down boxes, cutting rope and such).

Hoping to have a 1095 ESEE 3 soon as as I'm not a fan of the edge retention of the 3Cr13 used on the Kershaw.

I work in an office setting.

But I do a lot of my needed home reno's myself. That's backerboard for my bathroom. Dropping in a new tile floor for it. 12X24 tiles. The kabar worked really well for scoring that and sheet rock. Amazing that it held its edge the way it did! You must be diesel btw. Tile freaking weighs a ton!
 
This is my most carried. I've got nicer knives but this is the thinnest, most pocketable folder I own with great blade steel, ergonomics, and my favorite locking system. I use it for everything from leatherwork to preparing dinners on the grill.
