What kind of folder do you carry?

The current lineup, except for a couple old knockaround clunkers. I've been on a folder kick this year.
The Swayback has been a bit of a surprise. A real standout for the price. I also seem to be able to get it genuinely scary-sharp.
But the roundhouse may have the most bang for the buck. It's just a great knife.
The CRK kind of became my one CRK by accident. Long story, but it's permanent now.
The Reate was sold and the buyer asked me to sharpen it before shipping. I promptly scratched the satin blade finish and had to refund his money. Guess that makes it permanent now, too. But I love the mechanical design over-complexity for some reason.
The k390 in the PM2 is the best steel I have ever used. I am often, literally slack-jawed at what it tolerates. Spyderco nailed it.
The GB2, up until the roundhouse, has the honor of being my shop companion. Now the roundhouse gets to play in the shop about half the time. The GB2 may be one of the best pocket knives if all time. The shop knife designation is a true badge of honor in my rotation.

I love this post, makes me :)
Gayle Bradley is one of my favourite designers, and that is one great looking knife. I think I might want one.
My Roundhouse was helpful in the shop today, as well;

my old friend, Bob the Machinist, sent me this nice note via IG wrt the Roundhouse;
Field Dressed 2 deer this season with the Roundhouse. Nice in the hand and the D2 needed a touch on the steel and is still a razor. Blade could be centered in the frame a little better... otherwise very pleased.
 
I have about 65 pocket knives. The folders I carry, depending on the occasion, are a Large Sebenza, one of my Norseman, an Emerson, ZT 301, Delica, Para 2 and many others. Depends on my mood and if I am carrying a gun or not. For evenings I have gentleman folders. If I have heavy duty work to do it will usually be my ZT0900 which is built like a tank or my Praetorian. However, since I have a concealed carry permit I can carry automatic knives of any blade type or length where I live so more times than not, I will have one of my Microtech OTF knives in my pocket. Usually the Dirac Delta, Combat Troodone, Scarab II or an Ultra Tech of various sizes. I like to rotate my carry knives like I do my carry guns and Watches. If I am not carrying a gun like for a doctor visit, I will carry a large tactical knife like the ZT301. If I have a gun I will carry a knife in my left hand pocket that I can easily open with my left hand to cut the hand of anyone trying to grab my gun. One of my favorite folders is a Spydeco Domino because it has a flip lever in addition to the Spydie hole. What gets used the most is my Spydie chef knife because I use it to cut fruit and other food each night for a snack.

I got this Benchmade Nakamura recently and at first thought it was way too dinky. Looked way bigger to me in pictures. But it’s turned out to be a great size. I removed the clip and have been carrying it every day for the past couple weeks.

I almost bought one of those but the size kept me away, I find myself enjoying smaller knives now, I should check it out again. That gray is nice

EXCELLENT!!!! You will not be sorry. I can't check every little area of the forum, but when you get it, if you could show it off in this thread, I would love to see it.

on_the_edge on_the_edge I just got my Uncovsky in the mail on Monday. I am extremely impressed with it. Matej did an excellent job on the knife. The pictures don't do it any justice.
