This is a come as you are party!
Alright, the modern knife people (our neighbors in BF) have had a similar thread running forever! So let's reserve this one for old style slipjoint knives! Real EDC's, no safe queens (Bless their shiny bolsters)! Pics make it fun, but not required! I'll kick it off;
I've got an old patched up Robeson Barlow RF pocket, and a '70 Case balloon whittler in my watch pocket. I love that old whittler, and the Robey does brave work, sometimes dangerous to its well being! I'll add pics, so come back later!
It's later, and here's the picture;

I carry my SAK Classic daily.
It's the black version.

Now, I do carry some other knives...but I won't mention them here. ;)
 
Just my usual Victorinox soldier in a nylon belt pouch piggybacked with a AAA little Dorcy LED. Theres a well used eye-brand yellow sodbuster in my right side pocket, just touched up the blade last night. Scarry sharp. I just love those sodbusters.

I think tomarrow I may carry the old Hen and Rooster stag stockman in place of the soddie though for a change.
 
This is my usual carrying knife, it cut chemical bags today, microjet poly pipe and a bag of fertilizer..I like it...:)

This is it lately. Nothing fancy. Just a carbon steel blade sj hawkbill. Does the job nicely.

Love seeing these old babies! That pocketeze is a special knife, sunk joints I believe??
 
Congress must really be in session today. At work I carried the Camillus Yello-Jaket Congress that has become the knife I reach for each morning, unless I just absolutely want to carry something different.

Once in the door and into jeans today I slipped this Boker Stag Congress into my watch pocket.

Great thread. We can talk about all our great knives, but it is really interesting to see what ends up in our pocket on any given day.
 
Awright, keep those nice old users coming!
Nothing like a sweet folding knife doing what it does best!
Ridin' shotgun, and lending a hand!
 
Ok, not "old", but it's the slipjoint in my pocket. I recently traded for this, and at first I was afraid to touch it. Then I said what the hell, sharpened it, and dropped it in my pocket! It feels good to take a break from large locking folders. My only other slipjoints are my SAK and Grandpa's old 6308 Whittler ('40-'64 model), which happens to be at Case getting new handles put on, or it would be in my pocket too, as always.

Today's carry was decidedly modern and not a slipjoint, but yesterday I had this Bulldog stockman riding in the pocket.

 
Here's what's in my pocket. It's a 1989 Case premium jack. It's one of my favorite users, along with my yellow handle Moore Maker punchblade stockman.

Great thread by the way. I've been meaning to start a thread for user pics, and this one is perfect for that purpose.
 
It is the first RR knife I bought after Steve Koontz talked me into trying out one of their RR pocketknives. Been carrying it since May 17 and so far I have to say it is quite a good knife.
I have always been queer for BIG congresses or stockman pocketknives and the RR version has held up it's end of the bargain in fine style.
 
You just caught me before I left the house...

I have been carrying these two for 2 weeks now.

Really nice thread! Especeally with pics :D
I nearly allways carry in my pocket (except weekends or special ocasions) the C.Lütters & CIE rigger knife, it has the strongest springs, half stops and a great blade shape for every day use. sometimes the smaller (1º) slippie, or on ocasions with suit the Gilles Laguiole.
In my bag, where I carry mobile, money, papers etc, I allways have the SAK farmer, just for the case.. It normally sees little use, maybe to open a bottle, srewdriver, things like that.
