I like a blade that's at least 3.5". My every day go to knife is a Super CQC6 framelock conversion done by Reese Weiland. On occasion, I also like to carry the Ti bladed Super CQC7 that Reese did up for the old handles.

I prefer knives for EDC to be between 2.5" - 3" because I just don't need anything bigger and have found that this size works for almost anything. They won't chop a tree down or provide self defense but that not why I carry a knife.
 
3.5" - 4" seems to be a good "do all" size for me.
 
I've been carrying the CS Voyager X2 for a few days, I think it's a little too big. 5" would be about right.
 
nothin over 4 inches. i carry a benchmade 940 osborne, it has right under a 3.5" blade and it does everything i need it to
 
4 inch plus or minus 0.5 inch.

Passes the "subsandwich test" - cut a subsandwich in half without squishing.
 
3.5-4" is about right for me. But because of local laws, 3" blades are convenient at times. So anywhere between 3-4".
 
Anywhere from two inches to four inches. I usually like to sit my EDC in that fifth pocket, so it can't be too large. However, I don't mind having a larger folder sit upright against my wallet.
 
In my home state 3.5 to 6+ depending on needs. Out of state only the max allowed as concealed carry reciprocity does not apply to knives in a majority of states.
 
+/- 3 inches or around 8 cm

Although I have to admit that it depends on the knife. I bought a Boker last week that's 4 inches and it's freaking amazing.
