Number one: most all the time is my BenchMade 420 Resistor combo edge that I personally Waved myself. Great knife. When I have this one on me, which is most all the time anymore, there is no other knife. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3218410&postcount=5

Number two: is my Salt 1 that I personally upgraded and rebuilt with Titanium liners and lignum vitae handle scales. Tied with my David Boye boat knife folder that I carry as much as the Salt really. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3234695&postcount=4

Number three: My Ouparator Jr. that I made myself. Pictured in my signiture line below.

Small classic leather sebenza

My top 3 users are:1. Large Sebenza 2. DMknives Instigator 3. Spyderco Calypso, Jr. ZDP 189.

I'm assuming the idea here is "use to cut stuff" and not "carry because you like it." In which case:

Paramillie (laser-scalpel with great ergos and brilliant design)
BM 710 (cuts like a frickin' blowtorch with that recurve)
Serrated Delica (I know I can rely on this knife to cut anything, anytime, and I never worry about messing it up)

 

[Artfully Martial]

D2 minigrip--holds the edge forever, great axis lock, pocket friendly

M16 11K -- very pocket friendly, fun, great action, reliable liner lock, partially serrated blade, feels good in my hand

Paramilitary -- incredible blade and steel, superb ergonomics, g10, nearly the best lock out there. This would be "the knife" if it weren't so huge and didn't stick out of my pocket. But I carry this 80% of the time.

The honorable mention is my greg lightfoot urban shark....great little knife, I use it in sheeple situations.

 

[SilverFoxKnows]

1. EKA 88
2. HI 18" WWII
3. ? I'm still searching for the mid sized fixed blade that will fill the gap.

 

[HoB]

1.) Pacific PE Salt
2.) ZDP Caly
3.) Rotation of several G-10 models: Lately mostly the Yojimbo and Lil'T

 

[Gerard Breuker]

1. Manix 80 PE

SAK Explorer could have been 3 if I hadn't lend it to my brother.

 

[Steelhed]

Small Fixed Blade - Busse Leaner Meaner Street

Large Fixed Blade - Busse SHSH

Larger Folder - BG42 Sebenza

Small Folder - Spyderco Calypso ZDP-189

Yeah, I know that's four. I never could follow directions.

 

[Gossman Knives]

My main 2 are
1. Custom Razorback-Knives pocket hunter (small fixed blade)
2. SAK
3. I rotate a traditional folder in my pocket sometimes, but I usually just use two. Occasionally, I carry a Buck 110.
