For me its a Case Peanut, Buck 301, and a yeller Sodbuster Jr
Sometimes the Peanut is too small so i take a 301, but sometimes I want CV steel instead of 420HC so i take the soddie
I wish i could just stick with one
Which slippies are in your rotation?
 
If I'm wearing jeans, my 2 customs get carried, otherwise I have a box with about 15
knives I rotate through. Now, the two latest get carried the most, a Case red CV trapper and a
Kershaw Double Cross.
 
i've been carrying my buck 305 frequently. i love how it disappears in my pocket, yet is large enough to do most EDC cutting tasks.

Well, we have a huge thread about the knives our members are carrying on a daily basis but if you're asking which knife gets the most carry time...for me of late it's this 3.75" stockman by Ken Erickson:

When the weather turns foul or I have dirty jobs to do around the property I normally swap out for a Buck 301.
 
Yea, I'm kinda with Trey. I don't carry many expensive knives when I'm wearing work clothes (all day in an office unfortunately) because they seem to fall out and get lost at the most inopportune times. When I do, it's usually this orange knutbuster. When I'm not in the office, I most often carry my Tennessee Jack from Kerry or a back pocket from Tony.

I rotate my traditional EDCs with fair regularly, but if I know up front that I'll have some cutting chores ahead of me, I usually go with this stout little GEC sleeveboard.

I tend to like a straight edge and a keen point that sits low on the blade's axis, and this little worker bee offers coarse and fine versions of that kind of blade profile. The more I use it, the more impressed I am with GEC's 1095 heat treatment and overall workmanship. All of my GEC users are as air-tight and wobble-free as the day I received them, and they really take and hold a great edge.

My most carried knives are my Case/Bose antique bone Norfolk and Muskrat, Case Swayback Jack, GEC Calf Roper (Black Micarta or Cocobolo), Primble or Winchester (Queen) stockman and Queen Classic Whittler. I also have a few Opinels and Sodbusters that I use regularly. I have a Case 3347 on order and it will likely be added to this list.

It's been one of these three for quite awhile now:

The little fixed blade is pretty much a constant companion with whatever slip joint is chosen for the day.
 
The slipjoint that gets the most pocket time (day in day out) is the Vic Classic. It lives in my left pocket and whatever else I choose that day goes in the right pocket.

In no particular order:

- Buck 301
- Buck 307
- Any one of seven Case Peanuts
- Now and again, a Case Barlow
 
The most pocket time? There can be only one , and for me it's this one:

The two knives I use most are my classic in a keyring sheath, and my damascus peanut. They do everything a retired sububanite needs to do. If they are too small, I just go to a small sheath knife for heavier duty or dirty work. Easier clean up and no folding blade to worry about. I took a page from the old guys I watched when I was a kid, who used a small serpentine jack paired up with a Little Finn on the belt.

vic classic on the keyring
buck 309 in my pocket

and occasionally i bring along the Wenger SI
but normally just the classic and 309 :p
 
My old imperial scout gets a lot of pocket time it seems, also my klaas lockback whittler.
