What is your most - USED - EDC knife?

The Victorinox Classic SD on my key chain.

I use the nail file daily to file my nails. I use the scissors whenever we go out to eat to shorten the kids' drink straws so that they can drink from their cups without having to hold the cup below the surface of the table.

I don't use the actual blade for anything.
 
I got this knife for next to nothing with a completely destroyed edge and a missing tip. A few hours and a lot of sandpaper later I had a workable convex edge and a knife I'm not even slightly afraid to abuse the heck out of.

I just finished touching up the clip blade. I use the heck out of this thing. The sheepsfoot is a lazy blade but it's not a big deal to me.

I assume yours in still in good shape?

Yeah. I haven't had it very long. I think the previous owner sanded the patina off or something because each blade is wicked scratched up. Light scratches.
Kinda bugs me.
 
Well if it has already been scratched by sanding you might want to sandpaper out the scratches and then let it patina up again. It can't hurt at this point.
 
Spyderco military. Mine has the ACU scales and dlc coated blade. I tend to carry this one in my waistband and often forget it's there due to how light it is
 
Without out a doubt, my Vic SAK Adventurer model. Carry and use it everyday. Probably have used it four or five times today. It is so much a part of my routine that I really don't even think about it until it is not in my pocket. Then I have to go get it off my desk.
 
Supergnat, the small blade on the classic is perfect for cutting a hole for a straw in plastic milk or juice bottles, less chance for mess than opening the lid.

I'll keep that in mind should the opportunity arise. Most places we eat at have "kids cups" with plastic lids, but I do get a bottle of chocolate milk when we get donuts...
 
My machete for sure, and BM auto Rift. I don't carry the Rift much anymore, but it got used a lot in the past!
 
My most used EDC doesn't get carried much these days - it's in semi-retirement; but every now and again it ends up back in my pocket. It's a Kershaw Vapor II.
2nd place would probably be my ZT 0200.
3rd is a Boker Gemini (the use is divided between two of them because I lost, replaced, and then found the first).

Victorinox Climber. All the tools I want and nothing I don't. I carry lots of knives daily but that one gets the most use.
 
Microtech Ultratech has to be my most carried and used knife. Thinking about a 940 to give it a break.

Ditto, although my Buck 301 Stockman might see a little more use, and my Buck 110 gets the nod for heavier cutting tasks.
I co-carry all three of them, all day, everyday. I like a choice of blade shapes, since no one blade shape is ideal for every task.
 
Nothing glamorous here. Just an Ontario RAT 2. Use it several times a day. Opening boxes and mail, cutting fruits and veggies for lunch, deburring plastic parts, carving, and more. Keep trying to find something to complain about. 3 months in and still haven't come up with anything!

The other two get pocket time as well, but not like the RAT 2.

For years it was a small Vic Tinker, eventually replaced by a red Bantam (several of each as I tend to wear them out at work). I still carry an Alox Bantam in my wallet as a backup but got tired of the plastic ones' scale flex. A Spyderco Persistence has been my utility blade ever since. I don't like the handle/blade ratio on the Tenacious, I like the Resilience but don't trust the lock, and truthfully have a Delica 4, 3 Endura 4's, and a bunch of second gen Byrds in a box because they all have lock problems but the Persistence has been solid and a good enough fit for my giant hands.

I have an XL Voyager somewhere that was my hiking knife for a long time; sure wish I knew where it is now...
