Hey everyone I was just wondering what knives always find their way back into your pockets? These few always push everything else out and I will usually weekly rotate them. The sodbuster and bullnose are my wallet knives.
Not in a particular order of carry just how I laid them out for photos.

1. Pingo
2. GB2
3. Sodbuster
4. Bullnose
5. Carter Prime
6. 940 Osborne
7. Freek
8. Big summit lake

So what is it that always finds it way back with you?
 
Large Stockman (3 7/8 ~ 4 inch closed minimum)
Camp/Scout knife (presently a SAK Huntsman, but I do have a "Demo" knife, Ulster BSA, and a SAK Recruit if I feel like a change)
Barlow
Canoe
Large Sunfish/Elephants Toenail (in watch pocket, a tight squeeze, but they fit and will not fall out, even when riding my bicycle.)
Large Trapper
In addition, I always have on the belt, a Buck 110 or Schrade 7OT.
:)
 
All my users get rotated through, but there are those that I feel bad about letting sit for too long.

Those would probably be my

Imperial peanut
Imperial Barlow
Vic recruit
Vic pocket pal

( Didn't want to end up listing every knife so I went by " pocket " and left out belt knives )
 
My Spyderco Pacific SE always calls to me. Can't leave it behind without feeling like a cheater.

Nice group. I know what you mean. Been trying to retire my Rookie G10 for about 5 yrs now. Bought a 707 and Chaparral for replacement. Great knives but just can't stop carrying the Rookie.

I actually pretend I don't have a 940-1. Tuck it away in the case......what knife?
A few days later I'll open the case, it's the first thing I look at, and back it goes in the pocket.

I really don't need anything else............

.........except my GBs:)
 
My 112 mm SAK almost always finds it's way into my pocket; like my Carhartt pocket tea shirts, it's a regular staple. If I am "traveling light", I may carry the GEC #14 Lick Creek Boys Knife, a Spyderco Kiwi 4, or a smaller SAK. If I am clipping something to my pocket, it will almost always be the Spydie G10 Native 5 or the more recent Benchmade Mini-Barrage.

This Damned Thing. My uncle gave it to me as a present. If it ever breaks, I won't get another one. Only value is sentimental.

But dang if it doesn't end up in the pocket on the way out the door more often than it should.

Kershaw Scallion also worms its way into the pocket, bag or cup holder for the day sometimes.
 
ZT 0909 for when I feel like rolling heavy. Spyderco Endura 4 for rolling light. These two always get grabbed for pocket time.
 
Cqc7, Small 21, my Large Inkosi, P'kal and Brous Silent Soldier Ranger. These knives just fit my uses so well that they will always have a spot. Infact the CRKs are actually the least useful to me becaise they have little self defense capability. That is more true with the small 21 as I have a righty version but carry it lefty.

Ontop of these some recent favourites that are getting pocket time are my Kizer Feist which luckily I was able to fix the grittyness on and a full Ti framelock Boker Exkelibur. The knife is just sonthin and light while sporting a big blade. Also the blade is ground razor thin so the cutting geometry is among the best of any knives I own. Seriously this thing could cut you without an edge on it.
