Your top 3 EDC?

First post on here I joined to look for a wicked edge coupon but no luck. Anyway glad to be here and contribute
1. Kershaw Leek w/D2 cutting edge, complete with a perfect (soon to be broken tip)!
2. Kershaw Leek W/d2 cutting edge and broken point that has been sharpened
3. Kershaw Leek Regular stainless blade complete with broken point that has been sharpened.

Anyway I have a dozen or so of these and sharpen as a batch so I always have a very sharp knife and just trade them out. Very popular and inexpensive knife that doesn’t scare anyone if you take it out, unlike many knifes I have tried to edc in the past. Highly recommend but do not pry even the softest piece of plastic if you like that super pointed tip!
 
And like a true noob searching the forums for info I managed to bump a very old and dead thread. Sorry and it probably won’t happen again (at least not on my first post)! Mods, you have my permission to delete!

Fav new brand since signing up on here
Benchmade
570 Presidio II
581 Barrage (assisted)
Thanks guys!

Buck 426 that I have carried for years. Still looks
and works like new. And seeing less and less pocket time due to the other two. Plus being oldschool and not having the clips till recently,
makes it easy to not have one buried deep in my pocket and having to dig for it. Never liked the
sheath thing at all.

I’ll play.
Small Case amber bone stockman: always
Doug Ritter minigrip: almost always
Bob Dozier custom straight personal: sometimes
 
Cold steel recon 1- when not at work

Spyderco Saver Salt- when at work in hospital

Cold steel master hunter 3V or drop forged boot knife- depending on adventure of the day.
 
I guess my top 3 would be:

1. Kershaw Zing (US made).
2. Benchmade 531
3. Benchmade Griptilian 551.

In all honesty, the Zing and the 531 get used more than anything else. The 551 hasn't seen any pocket time in a while.
 
Buck 110 or 112
Large Stockman
4 blade Scout/Camp knife or SAK Huntsman

The Buck on my belt and the other two in my pocket has been my normal EDC for decades.

1: CRK Umnumzaan
