Which Chris Reeve do you carry the most?

I have a small "user" collection of Chris Reeve knives. I don't collect any that I would be afraid to really use on a daily basis. I have found that there are two that I tend to carry more than the others.

My small collection includes a large and small Classic Sebenza, Umnumzaan, and a Mnandi. Of the four I tend to carry my small Classic the most, followed by the Mnandi. My large classic and Umnumzaan do get used but it is more weekend type carry. Even when the weekend rolls by I find that I don't switch to the bigger knives and do perfectly well with my small Classic Sebenza. I removed the clip and it just floats around in my right front pocket with my keys. Perfect sized knife that can do anything I need. It certainly does show some scuffs from real use but stays sharp and has some real character.

What is your typical Chris Reeve knife?

These two are with me every day until I return to work where no knives are allowed.

For me it's the Mnandi, followed by Small Seb, followed by Large Seb. But that's because I work in an office setting the most. If I'm outside, it's the Small Seb.
 
Umnumzaan...tom id love to see some pictures of your users..nothing like a good ol CR with some character...Ill try to post some myself a little later when I find a camera
 
Cocobolo Mnandi. I like to say it aloud too. The syllables have a kind of lyrical flow.
 
Ive had my Umnumzaan in my pocket for 6 months now... when it is out of my pocket, it is within hands reach. I learned my lesson after losing my Fallkniven PXL ivory micarta, which is another beautiful knife with incredible steel (may grab another one some day).

I only have this one EDC... all the rest are bigger outdoor wilderness carry...(but not CRK's), despite having big blades, my unumzaan is still always with me. (however when I m out in the bush I have it in a KSF horizon sheath, with clip and lanyard removed)
 
This is my main edc that I carry and use the most. But I always carry large 21 too but just dont use it much.

Here's a quick picture of my "user" Chris Reeve knives. Not too sure of the picture quality but you may be able to tell that the small Classic Sebenza shows some wear. I use the Mnandi but so far it rides around in my pocket but in the leather sheath.
