Which one of your knives sees the most pocket time?

Kershaw leek, sandvic blade and anodize red alum scales for EDC - I'm convinced it's the perfect EDC knife, but I guess the whole point is finding it, right?

On the weekends or when i actually know I will really need a knife (like this weekend, working at a charity event on the loading docks/trucks opening boxes/12,000,000 other things) i carry something heavier. In fact i got a knife just for this purpose last week - a Kershaw Junkyard Dog. I have to say, it's far and away my favorite knife yet. Too big for everyday carry but man it's a tank.

my Kershaw Needs Work also gets a bit of pocket time, although the ultra-tight clip annoys me. I'm hoping it'll loosen over time.


gee, uhh, that's three Kershaws. I do have knives other than Kershaws, I swear!

i too carry a sandvik 13C26 stainless leek with the tungsten blade and handle coating as well as the kershaw signature disc serrades it definately gets the most pocket time of anything i carry i might get a griptillian soon so it might find itself going fifty fifty as my EDC
 
My Alaskan Guide Buck 110, but when I'm not wearing a belt it's my Spyderco SS ATR.
 
The knife that sees the most pocket time is the Vic Minichamp on my keychain. I got it in Switzerland. The knife in my right front pocket gets rotated out pretty frequently. The past several months, it's been a Spyderco Sage. I've taken to dropping a slippie in my watch pocket lately. Today, it's a RR tuxedo whittler.

1. Case amber bone Peanut (white collar work edc)

2. Victorinox Spirit or Wenger alox SI (the rest of the time)
 
Have to say, for me it is a even split between three, since I carry all three of them everyday.

Custom Woodsman SAK (Scibeer custom), Kershaw Mini Cyclone, and a Callimus Slipjoint.
Once in a while I add a SAK.

In the woods I add a SAK Fireman or Spirit, and at least one Fixed blade.
 
Since making a recent purchase of a Strider SMF-CC I now carry two. My Ken Coats custom Wharnie swayback slippie in the bottom of my left front pocket, and the 4" bladed, 9" overall, Strider for the big jobs, clipped in the right front pocket of my Levi's.

The the moment it is a tie between my mini Ritter grip or my Small Reg. Seb. Sorry, no pictures until i can figure out my webcam.
 
New here. My Benchmade stryker tanto, CRKT Mickael Walker Blade Lock & Microtech Vector auto see the most pocket time now-a-days.
 
My Kershaw - for the money vs. where it will be used, it has been the right knife for most circumstances.

I see too many ultra-clean, non-scratched knives in this thread. How many people aren't telling the whole truth about their everyday-carry knives (are you really using them? are you even really carrying them?) ?

I kinda thought this was intended to be the "most used" thread, not the "most pocket-protected" thread.

Now let's get a close-up of that beautiful blade:

Great pics and welcome to the forums. I would've taken a photo of my Emerson CQC7 if this was my best "user" thread. It's good to see a knife that's been well used. My OCD sharpening side can't help but want to sharpen your knife immediately and clean that rust.

That's interesting, but it looks like the pry bar would get in the way. I'm assuming it doesn't otherwise you wouldn't keep it that way. When using the knife, do you find it comfortable to use the knife with the pry bar still on for hard use?

Very kind of you to welcome me. I found this site via http://www.knifetests.com/ and am pretty impressed.

Some of the worst, most persistent rust-stains seemed to have come off only recently after cutting open bags of concrete. The rust is from about a year ago - the ocean diving I did with it didn't do it any favors.

I know there may be some knives that, for the money, would work like mine, but Ken really designed a just-about unbeatable feel into the handle of the Vapor. I bet I could pay $20 or $40 more for a folder and still not get such a nice hand-feel from the handle.

Kershaw certainly has some of the best value deals in the knife world, no doubt about that. That site is Noss4's, he's a member here on the forums. Very cool of him to destroy his money for our entertainment:thumbup:.

Because of your post, I was inspired to start a thread on users. Please post some pics there if it's not too much trouble:

And stick around awhile.
