Let me narrow the scope of my question a bit. I know that there are a lot of people that EDC fixed blades or SAK type blades on their key chains. I'm not including those in my original question since I don't know a lot about fixed blade EDCs or SAKs on a key chain, as they are no brainers since they go everywhere with you. That's one of the best aspects of BF, there are so many different styles and preferences represented here.

Here is a picture of my 3 primary EDCs. I think you can see that for the most part they are basically the same knife just in three different sizes. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

I've found out, through carrying different knives, I like to have the appropriate "size" EDC to take with me every day. I know that most of you reading this are like me and have more knives than you could possibly ever need. That's why I'm asking this question, I'm curious.

I have a buddy when you ask him about his primary EDC, folding knives, his are all about the same size. He likes different locks and colors more than different sizes. I think to each his own and that's part of the fun of collecting knives.

So what trend or trends have you noticed in your folding EDC?
 
All but 2 of my folders are between 2.75 and 3.25 inches. I have a variety of locks, blade shapes, and steel types on purpose, I like variety and the lock/steel/blade shape are one of my deciding factors when looking at which knife I will carry that day.
Within those, I have 2 groups- work and non work. Work are thinner, smaller, and "sheeple friendly" examples would be a mnandi and slpjoints. Non work are usually thick bladed and heavy, such as TSF or Lightfoot flipper.
