What's Your Most Carried CRK & Why?

I have 2 user large regular cgg that I bought last year that I carry most. One is a Moon Song and the other a Metor Shower.

I really Like both of these CRK's. Mostly because they're LR's and aren't made anymore.:)
 
All time; Plain Large Regular BG-42 that was my work EDC for ten years, still my favorite but retired out of rarity.
Current; Large CF 21 S30V I have been toting all summer, was going to be replaced by a Large CF Insingo that was lost in the mail.
Next; Plain Sebenza 25 S35VN that will be my work EDC once it gets busy again next month and my time off ends, unless I find someone to trade a Micarta 25 for it.
 
This is the UG small 21 I carry most often. Special because Blade HQ had this one made up for me special (in 4 weeks time) after a mistake they made posting images of new available knives. They also had my name engraved (on their dime) on the reverse.

I carry a large regular BG-42 sebenza. I bought it used with a fresh spa. I feel its the best knife in the CRK lineup for me. On a side note I have the hardest time going from new in box to my edc. If it's used it is so much mentally easier for me to actually use and therefore enjoy.
How many others on BF do you think have this "issue"?
 
I carry one of my Mnandis Monday through Thursday, then it's a Sebenza on jeans day and over the weekend. So, a Mnandi by a day.
 
Lg regs / 25 in the winter months... small insingo during hot weather & mnandis for dress.
 
I'm carrying my umnumzaan every day right now. I am in love with that blade. I love my 21s and 25 but damn the blade design on the umnum is just so cool.
 
I have carried and used a small Plain Jane 21 Insingo almost exclusively for the last year or so:


I recently picked up this small serrated Reg in S30V that I am going to carry nearly exclusively for the next year or so:
 
A jigged madagascar rosewood Mnandi. Just love the size for EDC, disappears in your pocket.

I have 2 large sebs , 1 is my Website, the other a 21 inlay that I have the same problem with. I called CRK this week and asked it they could do a spa

on the WebSite. Anne Reeve told me they could. I think I may start carrying it.:D

The website is a really cool graphic. The one that I let get away...
Until recently I was under the impression only plain Jane and Micarta inlays could have presentation side scale "Refurbished".
Reading how so many versions of polished/anodized scales can be made 99% again is awesome to hear.
I have a beautiful Lisa's Pick from 2004 that was scratched repeatedly during a car ride by the allen wrench taped inside.
I really need to call now.
 
I carry almost exclusively a 25. Absolutely love this knife. It is by far Mr Reeve's greatest folder design IMO. I also carry a Large carbon fiber Insingo fairly often too. The rest of the time I carry every other incarnation that CRK has produced...Ti lock, large reg BG, all umnum flavors, raindrop 21 etc..

Same here. I bought my first around 2000, but didn't carry it until a few years later. When I bought my small micarta(when it made its debut at Blade 2005) it went straight into my pocket, but thats the only new one that went straight to the pocket on day one.
The two I carry the most(small and large BG-42 Regular) I bought used.

The Large Regular is about all I carry lately. Best knife ever made IMO.
 
The small Sebenza 21 with micarta because it is my first knife for EDC and I thought it would be my only knife to end all knives. Mistaken I was.

The size is perfect for EDC and the blade is plenty big for my needs. Now the time is shared with another small Sebenza 21 with micarta and a tanto style blade.

 
For me it's a toss up between my small Sebenza Insingo w/micarta inlays and small Sebenza Knife Art carbon fiber. The Insingo gets the call for the blade and grip, while the carbon fiber gets the call for its super light weight and looks (that first point makes a difference for what I like to refer to as "urban EDC").



That said, this guy has been in my pocket quite a bit of late:

PS - As much as I love it, my Honduran Rosewood Mnandi pretty much only gets used if I'm dressing up:
