What is your most - USED - EDC knife?

I am a mechanic in a municipal garage. This Spyderco Delica has been in my pocket everyday at work for over 10 years. Some days it gets lots of use, other times non at all.
I have done some prying and such at times with no problems.

This CQC 15 is my most used knife, it's my work carry. The handle is perfect for hard use imo, the tango, recurve, and serrations give it a wide range of functions, for penetration, fibrous materials, and slicing, and anything else that may be required. Been carrying it at work for approximately 4-5 months now, love this knife!

So you've never lost it while on patrol or anything?

the Kershaw has been riding in the pocket for YEARS.

the Zander is new but I'm really liking it on my belt, very handy little guy.

it's about time to retire the Kershaw for a CRK though, been contemplating trading one of my customs for one lately.
 
I wish I had a picture of mine but I dumped in last month. It was a peace of crap spring asisted "stelleto" from Amazon (i know most of you must be cringing right now but hear me out. It might of been a peace of crap but I used it every day for 2 years and it never failed me, until last month when I had sharpened it so much the edge was receding close to the center of the blade. It opened fast (really fast), had no wobble (none!) and perfect blade enlightenment. It was 1045 steel so it wasn't that great of a blade but for some reason it worked for me. It was $14 on Amazon and I'm am actual concidering buying another, but there are millions of better knives I could buy
 
Southpaw...
I work in the garage as a civilian I should have made that clear in my original post.
 
For the longest time my edc was a Spyderco Endura, a great knife. Now I carry a Benchmade Griptilian, one hand open and closing without my fingers near the edge and holds an edge for awhile, another great do it all knife.
 


This is the Wal-Mart special Vantage Select from several years ago. It's 420HC with Dymondwood scales. It's been a very good knife, it's simple and fits the hand. The size is just right and it's not so expensive that it's a disaster if it breaks or is lost. If a knife should be used for a task, this knife is used for it. It's literally my go-to knife for everything. It sits so low in the pocket and out of the way that if I carry another knife I usually have this one in my pocket as well. The story behind the blade shape is that I cut a power cord (that was not supposed to be live) and it took a small chunk out of the blade. I called Buck I let them know what was going on to see if they might happen to cover it. Since it was my fault the knife was damaged, I would have had to pay for a new blade to be installed. I figured that since I'd have to pay for a new blade when the time came anyway I reshaped the blade and put a new edge on it. I took it slow and careful to avoid wrecking the blade and its temper, and it still holds and edge pretty well at this point.

Ontario Rat model 1. The perfect do it all blade, I really love everything about this knife. If they made this same knife in a S30V or CPM-M4 I think I could carry it to the grave. I get real pissed when any of my knives struggle with zip ties and I can honestly say the Rat 1 glides through the thickest ones I encounter.

Got it a few years ago and it's often the first knife I reach for. Always on me, it's definitely seen the most use, and for several very good reasons. It's done everything I've asked of it, and done it well. A real winner. :thumbup:

I honestly couldn't say for sure, would be one these 3, the Manix XL and the GB are work knives, the Para 2 carried more at other times.
The Cru-wear Manix hasn't had much use, it's just in the pic.

You can't see it in the picture but the back scale is beat to hell from using the screwdriver as a chisel. It's still as solid as the day it was new.
 
This... Been carrying it (not EVERY day, but) since 1-7-15. Nothing compared to a lot of the posts here.

 
No pictures right now but I have a beat up old Emerson 7 that has been in use for 10 years now. It is still my go to hard work knife!
