Your Carrying Knife

For a long time(5-6 years), my "never leave home without it" was a SpyderCo Police Model(serrated), but lately, I have been toting a Kershaw Talon (50/50 blade). The Police was big, but very slim and easy for me to carry. The Talon is a little thicker, but it's sharp and easy to keep that way, and also very smooth to open. Now, I just got a Random Task this afternoon and it seems really neat (after tweaking the pivot for certain opening). The handles (G10) are pretty and I am worrying about scratching them in normal pocket carry. Does any one know if G10 scratches/scuffs easy and can it be polished out if needed?
When I am at sea, I also carry a Gerber Locking Multiplier, Streamlight Scorpion and a little red Photon II for walking around on the weatherdecks after dark. I am giving the Scorpion to the wife, but replacing it with a Surefire E1 soon. Oh, and also a recent addition, a Seber M4 on my keychain.

 
I always have a Micra and Photon micro-light on my key ring in my left pocket. In the right is usually some sort of one-hand folder, like a BM830 plainedge or Spyderco of similar size. I'm too fickle to seem to stay with just one main carry knife, but I do always stay with tip-up carry. Dave
 
CRKT KISS (basic non-scary utility)
REKAT Carnivore or CRKT Kasper
CS Desperado
Polkowski Companion

or combinations of these depending on where I'm going...

Nice thread. It's always fun to see what the rest of the obsessed are choosing. For me, it's a BM 850 Mel Pardue, but I'm going to throw a Spyderco Bob Lum in as soon as my second one arrives. As you might guess, I like titanium...
 
Good Day,

I carry too many.

R front -> Spyderco Military

R rear -> Spyderco Delica

R shirt pocket -> Spyderco Mouse

R belt pouch -> Spyderco StarMate

L cargo -> Spyderco Goddard

L belt sheath -> Victorinox Swiss Tool

All Plain edge.

That would not be too bad, except for all the other things that swim around in my pockets.

Howdy!

Always (Except in the shower!):

Right front: Spyderco Wegner

Left front: Spyderco Military

Nearly always: Right side belt: Swiss Tool

I'm beginning to spend more amounts of time with sheeple, though, and am in the market for some smaller-bladed tools for my pockets.
