Which Knife got the Most Pocket Time in 2022?

I couldn't narrow it down to 1 or even just 12, with all the rotations between them. The ones I carried/used the most this year were the: Benchmade Griptilion, Benchmade Osborne, Benchmade Bugout, Spyderco Para Military 2, Spyderco Police 4, GiantMouse ACE Biblio, Boker Plus Roundhouse, Boker Plus MiniPry Pro, Joker Lynx, Opinel Traditional #15 Slim, Morakniv Kansbol, Condor Terrasaur, Cold Steel AD-10, and Cold Steel AK-47.
 
Since I started posting images early in the year, I could probably go through and count it up. There is an easy short list of most-featured in my EDC rotation. The Sheepsfoot Domin got a lot of time but I didn't get it until the summer. Coincidentally, it was the runner-up for my favorite folder of the year.

This Sencut Neches dropped right at the beginning of the year and was consistently carried throughout. It's very simple but performs admirably for what it is. The blade shape is handy. The Micarta has a nice texture. The relatively neutral ergonomics feel good in my hand. It's fairly compact but feels big enough to handle most EDC tasks. The steel is 10Cr15CoMov, which is effectively Chinese VG-10 and certainly acceptable for the $45 price tag. The action was decent from the box but I eventually upgraded it to Skiff Bearings for perfect lock-up. The quality T8 hardware from WE makes maintenance easy and the loop-over clip features flush screws.

Happy New Year, Bob. My wife and I got in early for a glass. Now she is asleep and I'm having a second glass by myself. :)

It is crisp, delightfully sour, and gently sweet with a hint of hay on a fall afternoon. The acidity instantly dries the mouth and then causes it to water. It reminds me of cider in a way but without the apples. I've had this and other sours with sliced apples in the past and it works for that reason. After the first glass in isolation, I'm enjoying the second balanced against some Colby Jack.

Here is to a better year!
 
I carried a Yojimbo almost exclusively for the last several months.
I was thinking it was time for a change but I don’t know if I can do it - I’m so used to it - it would take some time and effort to get used to something else again.
 
No contest - my Para 3 found its way into my pocket more than any other. Not because it's necessarily the best at everything, but it's a great all-arounder. And since I generally carry a fixed blade as well, my folding knife needs are fairly basic and practical.

These three knives got most of the pocket (and belt time) this year, hands down.

I carry many knives throughout the year, but it has always come back to these guys every other day or so.
 
Probably a large stockman  pattern, got the most pocket time during 2022, for me.
If you're referring to which knife I actually carried the most in 2022, it would have to be this one:
View attachment 2033773
which I carried every day from (before) 01-01-22 to 12-28-22, hanging from my neck. The "Vegan Approved" fake leather gave out on the strap and the cord holes 😡🤬 or I would have carried it beyond 12-31-22.

Single knife runner-up for my "Most Carried of 2022" "award" has to be: View attachment 2033765
my SAK Mini Champ (clipped to a belt loop) and SAK Hercules (clipped to a split ring on the same belt loop the Mini Champ is clipped to.) which were both carried every day from 03-11-22 to beyond 12-31-22.
