The knives that I USE:

REKAT Hobbit Fang (that's my "home utility knife").
Victorinox 2 blade "Classic"...Those thin blades are SHARP!
Benchmade 721s (one of my 2 "EDC's").
 
This one took some hard thinkin', and made me get up to go back to my knife drawer to make sure I had the right model numbers.

1) Buck 309. This is a tiny two bladed pen-knife that I traded a friend a tear gas gun for back in around 1977, and it was several years old then. I've gutted many a deer with this, because I like to have something small to reach up inside to sever the windpipe.

2) Buck 307. This is the largest of the three stockmen made by Buck, and I've used one since way back when to clean squirrels with. Also like to use the sheepsfoot blade to whittle with. Never found much of a use for the spey blade.

3) Victorninox Trailmaster (now called the Trekker). This is my "work around the house" knife, and my backpacking knife. Have put it to use on field dressing deer as well, though it does make for messy cleanup.

Even though I carry a Manix or a Military daily, I virtually never "use" them since I have such a fetish about always keeping them vorpal sharp "just in case". (I know that this is strange, yet I seem powerless to do anything about it.)
 
I've heard it used a few times to refer to something that is sharp beyond reckoning. I've done some searching, but can't find the source. I suspect that it refers to some magical sword in a fantasy novel, but that's just my guess. Anybody that knows for sure chime in.
 
I was just getting ready to post the same thing! First search I'd done on this in awhile and found it immediately. Thanks for asking! (Now back to the original intent of the thread.)
 
Benchmade 710HS
Small Regular Sebenza
Queen Cocobolo Congress

Lately, though, I've been hanging a vintage 2-dot Buck 110 on my belt in place of the 710 and Sebbie.
 
These 3 see the most pocket time:

1. SOG X-ray Vision
2. Spyderco Delica
3. BM mini-Skirmish
 
1. Now that I put a pocket clip on my Vic One-Hand Trekker, I hardly have a reason to use anything else. Clipped, one-hand open, CE, tools... all right there.

2. Sometimes I whittle with an Opinel 8.

3. I bring along a Leatherman Micra most everywhere. Seems like I use the nail file to pass the time, more than any other tool in it.
 
My 3 favourite "main" knives are: (in rotation)

Spyderco Paramilitary/SE
" Ti ATR/SE
" Dodo black/SE

Furthermore, I'm always carrying my SAK(don't know what type) and the LM Squirt on my key chain
 
Believe it or not, a hot pink Spyderco Jester. I know, I know... I bought it on closeout from Smoky Mtn knifeworks for a steal and gave it to my wife. It accidentally opened while on her keyring and that was enough to scare her away from it (it came from the factory insanely sharp). She gave it back and I attatched a Photon light to it and started carrying it in my left front pocket. It's on it's second Photon and getting ready to be on it's third due to the battery getting weak. I have utterly abused that little knife (and I use the light all the time). Sharpens right back up on the Sharpmaker. Serrations are so rounded their almost gone, but they still bite whatever they're cutting.

Second most used piece would have to be my Swisstool Spirit. Fantastic multitool. I just wish it had a diamond file. My sheath is almost wore out but the Swisstool is unfazed by the hammering it gets on a daily basis. I've even used it to short electrical circuits so there's burn marks all over it. :D Hey, when you gotta, you gotta.

There really isn't a third because I'm always switching. Most generally it's my Military. But here lately I've been rotating the new D'Allara drop point, a guthook Impala, and the fantastic Lum Tanto. This right front carry piece (whichever it happens to be on a given day) doesn't get subjected to much abuse. That's what the Jester's for. ;)
 
1. Spyderco Police model. Its one of the older ones, plain edged, flat ground, g10, with an ats55 blade. After a little work with the sharpmaker a while back it is by far the sharpest folding knife I have in my possession. I don't know why this steel didn't catch on, but on this particular knife at least I like it. This is the knife that is in my pocket most of the time at work and it gets used a lot. This is my go to beater knife for actually cutting stuff on the job, and it takes everything I can throw at it.

2. Benchmade AFCK. Again, an older model with the liner lock and ATS34. If I don't have my Police model, I probably have this one. Like the Police, its a good, solid knife that I don't feel bad about beating on or possibly losing at work.

3. Spyderco Millitary. S30v serrated edge. Before I found my Police that I had thought I lost this was my standard user. If it were plain edged it probably still would be.


Honorable mention:
The Civilian I keep tucked into my vest. It hasn't cut anything, and probably wont, but it goes everywhere I do at work.
The new BM Gravitator spearpoint. I have one of the prototypes and it has become the knife I carry more than not when I am not working. Looks classy, Amazing build quality for a production knife, and sharper than hell.
