#1 When I expect to do some heavy cutting I take the Kershaw Skylike 14C28N with a 20 degree edge.
#2 When I go running & when I need a backup self defense tool I grab the Spyderco Manix 2 in CPM-M4 with a 15 degree Wicked Mirror Polished Edge.
#3 When I go shopping & need light duty coupon cutter that does not scare people I bring the Benchmade Emissary S30V 15 degree with a glass smooth edge.
I find your explanations of when you use them interesting. The Skyline for me is an all around great knife but I would say it excels at being light in the pocket, light enough to wear with running or any other activity clothing, and I would take a Manix M4 for heavy cutting.
