Which knife do you carry for daily use?

Either:

CRK Large Sebenza
CRK Shadow IV
MT Socom MA, with a bead blasted blade, for when I don't carry the Shadow.

or:
MT Socom MA (black blade)
R.J. Martin Quickening (the double ground version)
MT Mini Socom MA, for when I don't carry the Quickening.

always:
LM Wave

Currently, I carry my BM AFCK for most cutting chores and either a BM Gent or Case stockman folder when I need to cut something when people are around.

Most used: BM Ascent, great overall knife and easy to replace if lost. Otherwise:

Emerson Commanders (one on each side)
SOG Powerplier
CRKT KISS (money clip)
CRKT Stiff KISS (barely remember it's there somtimes)

And many others on an as needed basis, such as in the field (Busse Steel Heart II)

I always carry a Tiffany's Jewelers solid sterling silver version of the small Swiss army knife--blade, nail file (reshaped tip for better nail cleaning), scissors, tweezers, and toothpick that I reshaped to better get into tight spaces. That knife goes into a pants pocket, its weight due to the silver content gives it a pleasing feel in the hand, it looks unique, and that toothpick gets used (and cleaned before replacing) after just about every meal I eat.
I've mostly always carry a Benchmade version of Pat Crawford's "Leopard" clipped in my right back pocket. I'm trying replacing it with my new and much-modified Genesis I, since the Gen. I has a titanium nitrided blade for no corrosion, it's thinner with its G-10 scales, and it has its deep pocket clip.
When I know I'll be going to the airport either as a meeter/greeter or as a traveler, I still carry the Swiss army knife, but I substitute the CRKT-made version of Ed Halligan's K.I.S.S. knife definitely with a non-serrated edge for the usual larger back-pocket knife. It's hell-for-stout and thus a better-than-nothing security device, the lack of serrations keeps airport security personnel from going ballistic, and its blade is short enough to keep everyone at the airlines happy, too.
 
Auto BM Stryker,at work.
Case Trapper or Buck 110,daily carry.
Large AFCK,for walks,out on the town,etc.

One of the following:
Part. Serr. Lg. Spyder Wegner

Part. Serr. Lg. Black T BM Stryker
Part. Serr. Lg. Black T BM Emerson
Straight Edge Spyder Lum Tanto
Boker Orion
Cold Steel Desperado
JSP V-Gar
 
Always have my SAK Classic (with a pen) to handle the need for the occasional tool, but also carry at least a Benchmade 330 Gent... the smallest practical blade for me (2.3") and the biggest I can whip out at work without drawing a gasp.

Despite its small size (3.5" closed and maybe 3/8" thick at the scales), it's a runt knife with an attitude with an ATS-34 blade, titanium liners and G-10 scales. My plain-edged has a slight recurve also.

I also rotate a larger knife, usually my Spydie Wegner Jr, a Boker Klotzli or Spydie Michael Walker Lightweight.
 
Microtech D/A SOCOM, clip blade, serrated. I carry it in the sheath with the clip over the outside.
 
It varies quite a bit, but often I either carry the mini AFCK or Mel Pardue benchmade. Of course this week it is a Spyderco Harpy. And I think tomorrow it is going to be my new BM 720.

Either a Satin finish BM710 or a BT2 BM812SBT, depending upon the circumstances. THe BM812SBT will be ousted by the BM705BT as soon as I get one.

Today, it's an M2 AFCK, plain Leopard Cub, and serrated Calypso Jr., in addition to the SwissTool.

Sometimes I carry a plain edged Spyderco Goddard Lightweight, Endura, or Military instead of the AFCK.

I cogitate this dilemma constantly.
