Whats your favorite pocket knive?

My favourites change, but the Spyderco UKPK is nearly always in my pocket.
OK, a SwissTool is nearly always on my belt, but I'd go with the UKPK
 
Well, my favorite knife is a Matt Cucchiara Mini Scrapper (my constant companion)"Gecko".
 
I have a Spyderco Endura that my baby sister gave me clipped on my pocket at all times. I only take it off when I'm in the shower or in bed because I don't have pockets when I do those things.:D
 
Mines either my Vic camper, or the spyderco endura wave. both those knives are always on me. each gets about equal use.
 
mine is the Fallkniven U1 or the Spydie Navigator II. Both are very compact, tough and well-made.
 
My favorite small knife is a Spyderco Caly 3 (G-10) followed by my Spyderco Kopa (black micarta) and Lone Wolf Loveless "City Knife" (green canvas micarta).
 
nobody mentioned the spyderco dodo. now, I am not one for a hawkbill style blade for every day cutting chores as I have always thought of them as specialty blade shapes for specialty cutting, but in august, boxer93 loaned me his black serrated dodo and it hasn't left my pocket except to fly. this knife has gone everywhere with me, on the boat, to the beach, and has proven itself a very very useful cutter.

I use it to open mail, bags of candy, chips, food, sauces..you know the kind, cut rope, cut rubber, leather, twine, and anything else you find in day to day chores. I don't use it on the boat as a hard use knife because I have a frosts fixed blade and an atlantic salt. I have used it around salt water, sand, gotten food and juice on it, etc and haven't cleaned it once, and sharpened it 3 times in four months. I keep it in the left front pocket with my keys and when i need something cut I have always reached for the dodo first. when it comes time to return this knife I will cry, and I can guarantee that i will be reaching for it when it is not there.

it is discontinued and may be more than you want to spend but if you look and are patient one will usually pop up here or on ebay.
for such a small blade I prefer serrated and the serrations on the dodo are not deep or toothy, and I like them better than most serrations on a spyderco. I find that I can use the dodo's serrations for finer cutting chores than i can with a deeper more toothier serration.

the ball bearing lock is very secure, but be careful, it DOES get pocket lint between the blade spine and the handle spine of the knife and this will prevent the knife from locking.
the blade shape and handle are both versatile and very ergonomic, allowing for a variety of grips when doing different styles of cutting.

if you get a chance to handle or use one of these you'll see what I am talking about. :)

My new Bradley Cutlery Alias II. Bought the larger Alias I, love it but a little big to carry (at my place of employment). Sweet knife. Moved the clip for tip-up carrry.
 
For in the pocket my Vic. Cadet is fast becomeing my favorite. Thin and very useful.
 
The cold steel Sciminar Black for me i dont have verry many high end knives cold steel is the best i have, i'm getting an CRKT M16 and a Kershaw Blur though.
 
My spyderco yojimbo and my mod mark 2 are my constant companions. I do plan to buy a black hawk blades crucible soon though
 
As for as my favorite in-the-pocket knife, I will say my black Victorinox Executive, and/or my Victorinox Pioneer. I lean toward the Executive, as it's always in my pocket and is used a lot every day.

My favorite clip knife is my Chris Reeve Sebenza, but I do switch it out with my Benchmade Axis TSEK. I also often have a Spyderco Endura, Delica, or small Benchmade 556 on me as well.

Benchmade Elishewitz 690 with partial serrations. the coating is all hamburgered but its my world beater EDC.
 
Benchmade 530 in plain edge. For its size, it is the thinnest and lightest knife I've come across, making it hardly noticeable in my pocket.
 
I really have to say it is my Endura, I have many folders to choose from, rotate my EDC, but something about the Endura keeps me coming back, maybe it's because I am not afraid to use it.
