Whats your favorite pocket knife and why?

I've had a bunch of knives over the years. I've had to sell most of my knives again due to illness. But I've always had a love of a stockman knife. Due to issues with my hands shaking I now have to have a locking blade. I have a spyderco Chapparel that I carry quite a bit when I'm not working. And am waiting to be able to get another native 5 or manix 2 for work and around the house chores. 3 of the very best knives I've ever owned
 
Right now it is these two.

I love both because of design, color & bladesteel. The Delica, both slim and ergonomic, is my EDC if I'm at the cabin and the LTC is my office/city EDC.

I like this one. Here's why: It was a gift from my wife; it slices very well; it has a blade big enough to be extremely useful, from carving turkeys to prying gunk out from under my fingernails; it has an almost needle-like point for poking into things, and it is very light for its size. Oh, and it's just fun to use in a Crocodile Dundee-like way.

 
The Emerson really good? CQC-15?

Emerson’s are nostalgic for me, have had one around since the 90’s. They do what you want them to do , get them dirty, cut stuff, drop them, beat on them, sharpen them .. excellent work knives. I think by todays standards Emerson knives might seem to cost more than they are worth. I personally like Emerson’s, a lot.

The one pictured is a Commander

Simply put, it's typically my most recent acquisition, and because it's new of course.

But honestly they're all my favorites. Maybe some are a little more special than others, but I couldn't let any of them go. Exceptions occur of course, such as catch and releases or dumb drunk purchases. Definitely had my fair share of those.

As of right now, even though I never carry them, these are my current "faves"received_834479064544845.jpegWE High-Fin Damasteel.jpgKansept Mini Accipiter Damsteel & Timascus.jpgD Rocket Sticker~Bomb Kadima.jpg
 
Awesome tribute to an old friend. I would love to see a photo of this knife.

Nothing wrong with being a redneck. I am one and I wear that proudly.
I think I’ve figured out how to do photos with the help of eveled eveled The one on the left is the one I went rambling on about. The other one is showing how much blade is gone as they’re both 3-dots. And I thought I’d post the mag pouch I carried it in in case anyone wants one to carry theirs inIMG_2140.jpegIMG_2142.jpegIMG_2143.jpegIMG_2144.jpegIMG_2137.jpeg

Thanks.
Great looking knife with a lot of life left in it. Thanks for posting
 
This one because it’s my biggest, baddest, best looking knife…

For actually using/carrying, my Eklipse has been getting a ton of pocket time lately. Similar to the 24, but a little thinner and lighter. Perfect all purpose edc knife for me.. the action of these things on skiffs…🤤 so good. The size, weight, feel of this knife is about as perfect as it gets as far as what I like to carry & use.
