Whats the most expensive knife you carry

WOW!

There's some pretty spendy pocket weights sportin' about these parts!

I have one EDC and it's a Spyderco Delica with serrations almost to the tip. I don't know the model, but it has "Spyderco ATS55" on one side and "Seki-City Japan" on the other.

The paint is pretty well wore off the clip, but i carry it in my back pocket anyway so it's never been "clipped". It has a lanyard from some left-over 2mm perlon i use for boot lace and accessory cord for climbing gear. I've replaced the lanyard like 3x and gone from yellow w/flecks to pink-ish w/flecks and now this purple-ish/blue-ish/pink w/neon-green flecks.

I've had it 'bout 12 years and it's seen some hard-core use. I'm not too nuts about the lock-up or the nearly-all serrated edge, but it's small, light and was not too expensive and cuts like a mother*&$#%er. I think i paid something like $35 for it (had a 50% discount) but don't remember exactly.
 
When it gets done in 2 months, a Tom Krein TK-4 bowie in bead blasted s30v with OD-G10 on top of black vulcanized liners. 280 bucks.

Currently, a DDR HTM Gunhammer 2. Around 250ish. I swap that out with a 185 dollar Coye Ridgeback when I prefer fixed over folding.
 
My EDC's are still just <$200, the Buck Custom Shop teardrop Damascus/flaming Koa wood 110 and recent ZT-0301 topping the big buck list of EDC's.

I must be a cheapie! My most expensive EDC is my BK-11 unless I'm going to be out in the woods in which case, it's a BK-2. Most expensive folder I carry... Ka-Bar Dozier which just barely edges out my SAK Huntsman.
 
Mine is a Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Gen3. The best thing is that the knive just loved to be used and used.

My small Galyean Pro-Series Lahar (TNK Limited edition). Also pictured are my Mayo Flat Medium TNT, Mayo Small Modified Wharny, and an XM-18, the first two of which I never carry.
 
the most expensive knife that i carry would be my small sebenza. then again it is my most expensive knife period :D
 
My 1997 Dozier Folding Hunter. Cost me about $400 all up, but well worth it. IMO of course.

Funnily enough though, currently I'm carrying an Opinel no 7. Also good.

All of these are less than $65 or $70
I've recently also purchased a 2010 AK47 and Lawman, both for around $60 as well

I used to carry more expensive knives. Rukus, Skirmish etc.
But does a Skirmish preform 4x as well as a Recon 1?
So you can see where I went from there.

My small Sebenza 21 that I bought NIB and later up'd the front scale to CF.

The Large Seb would be most expensive, but I bought it used previous to buying the CF scale for it. Therefore me spending less on the Large than the small.

I have a nice selection of custom knives that I can choose from. I have been carrying my Gen 2 XM-18 for awhile now.
