I know this topic has just about been done to death, but I was wondering if anyone has a knife or knives that is/are a permanent fixture in their EDC rotation.

I have a wooden box on my dresser that holds about 6 or 7 knives. When I leave the house, I grab one or two to take with me. Of course, when I buy a new knife, it gets swapped into the rotation (gotta have the latest toy on me, you know :D ). But there are 3 knives that never leave my rotation: 1)MT LCC M/A, PE 2)Spyderco Police Model, PE, with pearl onlay by Santa Fe Stoneworks, 3)Spyderco Civilian, G10.

Anyone else ?
 
Gunting live blade
Small Sebenza
These two have become everday essentials. Sometimes I rotate in another knife but these two are my mainstay for now.
 
CRKT M16-03Z goes nearly everywhere with me. Soon to add a Benchmade 805 as its travelling buddy. M16 has held up remarkably well over the last 2 years. In those rare occurences where the M16 might be viewed with too much suspicion, I carry a Buck 112fg (ranger) instead, which I've had for about 12 years. (not sure if it was called the 112fg when I purchased it, but it very similiar if not identical to the model shown on bucknives.com)

Regards,

Shaun.

Of course I rotate my knives, but a small Sebenza is always in my back pocket. Always !

Viva la Sebenza :D
 
Victorinox mini swiss champ is always with me. Rotation from there includes a small Sebenza(clip removed, and carried in the leather slip pouch), redwood burl Mnandi(also carried in leather pouch), R.J. Martin Q40(your basic liner lock on steroids), and a couple others that slip my mind right now.
 
Spyderco Delica and Strider EB-S. Sometimes an Emerson Commander, all depending.
 
My current rotation is just:
Emerson CQC-7B combo wave
Emerson CQC-7A black T combo

Always:
Leatherman Supertool
Spydercard

Sometimes:
Camillus Cuda Maxx 5.5 stiletto
Spyderco Cricket
Spyderco Harpy

I only have a few folders. I need to get a Benchmade AFCK, Emerson Persian, a Strider folder, and a Dozier folder into that rotation. :)

Forgot the Spydercard, that's always with me.
 
Stainless fully-serrated Spyderco Police model.
Stainless plain-edge Spyderco Delica.
SOG Deluxe Pocket PowerPlier.
SOG CrossCut.

Always.:).
 
are always with me. At work I have a plain edge Spyderco Rescue clipped to my left front pocket. When I'm not at work I've taken to carrying a Buck 110 on my left hip. I tend to stick with one knife for a while. For years it was an EZ-Out, then an M-16-03Z. Carried an Opinel #8 for a while and a Middleman for a while.

I picked up one of those at the ECCKS a couple of weeks ago. It's very impressive. Also very light considering it's size, and with a liner lock that locks up like a beast. It's been with me most of the time since then.:cool:
 
This is easy.

I carry a Strider SnG if I'm wearing pants I might utilize when eating in a restaurant that does not permit pack animals.

I carry a Strider AR in my crappy jeans.

Funny this thread popped up, I've been wrestling with my EDC choices for a while, seems I always grab the same knives, with so many knives it's hard to decide what to grab, but I always seem to wind up with the same few.

BM AFCK, BM 730 Ares, Queen Serpentine Jack, Bud Nealy Aikuchi.

I've recently added a Crawford One Hand Knife, and a new Nealy.
 
Small custom graphic sebbie for normal days. Benchmade 551 for work sometimes coupled with a Busse active duty in my cargo pocket. I also am known to have knives all over my truck and in my duffel bag. Just can't help it. I like to have 'em around.
