Whats your favorite Split Joint model to carry as an EDC?

I usually pick out my EDC out of this group along with a new GEC #48 Diamond jack and #15 STREK that came out after this pic was taken. For general and office use, I really like the #33. As you can see, I have 3 of them in this group for use (440C American Elk, 1095 Stag with bail (top right), and a 1095 Tortoise shell acrylic (middle right))
 
Lately is a Swayback Jack I won here on BFC in a giveaway, this knife screams perfection.

Hard to name just one. The ones I carry about 90% of the time are

3 1/2" to 4" or so, two blade jack.

This one is my favorite and I carry it more than the many others I own.

I have a few Traditional knives and rarely carry the same one two days in a row, but this one seems to find its way into my watchpocket a scoche more often than the others. It is a work of art.
 
Tough to pick a favorite, but it's probably my Eureka Jack, at least for right now. I carry it each Friday to help celebrate the end of the work week.

Almost any single-spring two-blade bone handled knife at about 3 inches closed. Spearpoint main is the icing on the cake.
 
For actual use my Yellow Delrin, Buck 301, is hard to beat, very ergonomic, for a slipjoint, and it sports a nice selection of blades.

 
The pattern I carry more than any other is the GEC 73. I have cocobolo, ebony, and bone versions...here's the cocobolo that is in my pocket right now.
 
While the #33 Conductor is my all time favorite knife, I find myself consistently carrying a Queen dogleg jack (#51) in maple:

Top knife is my favorite, bottom knife is my precious...no rhyme or reason why, it just is what it is...
and nothing can compare to a precious :D
 
My Favorite EDC slipjoint would be either my TC Barlow, Vic Cadet, or Vic Farmer. I usually have two of the three on me, but lately a Vic Spartan and an Explorer have been getting some edc use as well. I like SAKs for edc quite a bit.

I rotate about a dozen knives for EDC use, however these three get the most pocket time. OH
