Just curious what knives people have in their EDC line-up. Not to be confused with your collection, but what knives do you have in the rotation?

My EDC line-up/rotation:

- Sacha Thiel Officer V2
- Large Insingo with micarta inlays
- Tim Britton Tango
- Microtech Whaleshark
- 2 Boker Plus Burnley Kwaikens (one with LSCF scales and one with cocobolo scales, both with flipper mod)
- Spyderco Southard
- Kershaw JYD Pro
- Kershaw Piston
- Kershaw Breakout
- Leatherman Skeletool (acid washed):D

I've been using these two now almost exclusively for a while now. Upper one a friction folder by Osai and sons from Sardinia with horn handle and 12c27 blade. Very light for it's size and full flat grind gets scary sharp. Lower one is a GEC number 15 with ebony scales and 1095 blade. Also nice and thin and holds an edge very well. Great cutter.

Honestly, I've just been carrying my 940 Osbourne from of my alleged "rotation" virtually everyday this summer. Felt my blue Delica4 needed some love today, but tomorrow will probably another 940 day.

That sounds exactly like my so called rotation. 940 all summer and I mix in a lil mini grip for good measure.

I'm going to add a few Spydies to this. In fact, the only blades I plan to buy for a little while happen to be from Spyderco. My Spartan didn't make it because it's too big and heavy, and my AK-47 didn't because its pocket clip is hell for my work pants.
 
Benchmade Adamas
Benchmade Griptilian
Benchmade Triage
Benchmade 300 flipper
ZT350

All fantastic knives with my two favorite currently being (always subject to change) the 300 and ZT350.
 
I wouldn't quite call it a rotation since I don't exactly follow any set schedule, I just pick a knife that I feel like carrying that day based on where I'm going and anticipated usage. That said, the knives currently in my pile of edc crap are as follows:

Small Sebenza 21
Benchmade Ritter Mini in CPM-M4, with custom cf scales
Benchmade 730-1202 Limited Edition M390 Ares
Benchmade 940 Osborne
Spyderco Southard
Spyderco Paramilitary 2
Spyderco Sage 2
Spyderco Native 5 S110V (spyderco forum knife)
ZT 0350
 
Well I don't go to work with anything besides my Large 21. However on the very rare days off, my custom toxic green BM 300SN, my three Para 2's. the M390 the S35VN and regular with digi cam. Every couple weeks my 755MPR and Large Bone Collector make it into my pocket for the day. I probably have another 12 knives I payed well over $100 for but just don't carry anymore. Hopefully my tastes change before I sell them all off!

Not only that, in your picture it looks ginormous. Did not realize it was that big. I know it has a 4.5 blade, so yes it is large. The rest of your knives pale in comparison. I've been meaning to order one, just keep beating around the bush when it comes to actually doing so. ;-)
