Which knife do you carry after hours?
What qualities do you look for in an "after hours" knife? and how does it differ from your Daily Carry or Work knife?
As for me, I tend to carry the more expensive folders during the evening, when I won't need them (hopefully) for hard use. (SERE, BM 710, or Spyderco JSK) I also make sure that it is suitable for self-defense. Whereas, I will often carry a small non-locking multiblade,Buck Odysee, CS Voyager or other beater.
 
CRK Sebenza.....Enough said...Plus the CDI factor is pretty good. CDI=ChicksDigIt

I used to be disgusted .Now I am just amused....I feel much better now that I have given up all hope
 
I carry a BM 42 all day and night.

After I get home from work I carry a medium clip point voyager for utility (thanks glockman99!) and a fixed blade of some sort for everything else. Here in Texas, the legal limit is 5.5" blade - fixed or folder!! Lately it has been a Greco Companion (thanks Bandaidman!). Both of my edc's have been aquired through fellow "forumites" - that just sunk in. God bless Bladeforums.com!!!
 
I find myself reaching for my Livesay UJI Fighter every night when I get home from work. I live in NYC, so I really only take the knife out of the house when I feel a good folder just won't cut it. I have actually fallen asleep with that baby still tucked in my right hip. Very comfy, no frills, all purpose tanto.

I carry the same 2 blades day and night.

A small Tom Mayo TNT in a kydex neck sheath, and a Boguszewski/Wegner Pro Hunter in cpm440v.

I wear the Mayo CONSTANTLY! Even in the shower [to rinse the paracord/ball chain].I even sleep with it on.

to all you cat lovers...does the tail get in the way?
 
I'm so glad to hear that other people carry more than one knife too!
I always carry "at least" these two: 1) A Chris Reeve Small Sebenza--(I use the pocket clip sometimes, however I also purchased their great nylon belt sheath. It fits very "flat" against my side and I don't have to take the pocket clip off to use it.) 2) A SAK "Execuitive" that takes care of many small jobs.

I pretty much carry the same two day and night. One is the Crawford Covert I had done up to my specs, and the other is a Spydie mini-Dyad. I even slip the Covert in my "around the house" sweat shorts. My wife never knows if I have a knife or if I am just happy to see her! LOL!

Hmm..let's see..
My Spyderco Renegade or Police model in the right pocket, backed up by a Cold Steel large clip point in the left. Also, my little SP3 never leaves my pocket. It sees more use than all of my other knives combined. Wish I could buy them in bulk because I keep losing them. Haha

A large lefty Sebenza day and nite. Sometimes my scary sharp MT Socom at nite. It all depends on the "climate"or the city.

I forgot to mention that the Crawford Covert has been given a well deserved rest while my newest addtion has taken its place. What is it you ask? Why its the MADD MAXX Jr.! Talk about slick!

DN,
You will love your MM when it comes. Did you get the mini or go all the way for the original? I will post a pic someday of the two side by side.

Small Sebenza 24/7 also. I tend to wear more fixed blades and neck knives after work.

I carry the same knives night and day, work and play, they are; An Emerson Commander with wave, a Mission MPF 1 Tanto (all Titanium) and a Case split back whittler with sambar stag scales (very pretty).
 
I carry my large Sebenza day and night. It's sitting by the keyboard as I type this. The small SAK on my keychain follows us around when we go out. I usually carry a Leatherman Supertool on my belt.

I really should get a small Sebenza for evening wear. With a flat grind!
