You're ultimate or favorite EDC?

CRK small Sebenza 21 w/micarta. Small enough for EDC and the blade is big enough for most of my tasks.

 
A $32 Victorinox Farmer. Seriously. Takes care of 99% of my cutting tasks at home, at work, and afield.
 
I prefer my blades heavy and overbuilt but if I had to choose a near perfect EDC I'd say the Endura. I rank it higher than the Delica because of it's longer blade which is a significant advantage in food prep.
 
I have many favorites but today it's the PM2. Pocketable, user friendly, and cuts. If I need anything more than a PM2 I switch to fixed blades that are made to take more abuse than a folder. Also a fav is the Case peanut which is a little scalpel in my pocket.
 
For the past few months, this Northwoods stockman has been in my pocket. Kicked out the GEC number 15. Love the feel of the rosewood scales, love the razor edge the 1095 blades get and hold. Gives me three different blades to choose from.

Good looking knife you have there. I inherited an Old Timer Stockman among a few others from my father who passed away this past February.
What an Ironman he was in so many areas of life. I carry the stockman in his memory but sometimes I don't because I fear losing it. I have a pocket sheath that I now use with it so I feel a little better when carrying it.

Thanks. I carried a Buck stockman from the late 1960's to the early 90's as my main edc, and it's nice to have three different blades in one pocket sized package. Keep one blade for those cutting jobs that you know absolutely positively it's gonna screw up the edge on your blade.

I'm thinking about buying another stockman just to keep the other stockman company. It's between the Buck 301, Gec, or the one you have, but I'm not sure yet.

I recommend the buck 301, it's my favorite stockman to actually carry and use for many reasons.

My most carried EDC is my regular old delica 4.

:thumbup::thumbup:

Yeah, I gotta go with that. For the 25 years I carried that 301, it stood up to all kinds of use and borderline abuse. It's a tank f a pocket knife. I carried it the last few years of my army service, and got used in the machine shop daily. One hell of a knife. I kept the spey blade dull for use as my dirty work blade.

Who knows whether it will be my long-term favorite, but right now it's my brand-new Umnumzaan. I'm still breaking it in (or rather, breaking my thumbs in), but I'm seriously loving it so far.

I am loving my umnanzaan right now too. Hang in there amg. I've had mine for a few weeks and it's already broken in where I can flick it open with my thumb nail. Super sweet knife
 
I carried a Benchmade McHenry & Williams 710 for years. Then I carried a Mel Pardue 722 for quite a while. I have a plethora of carry/drop knives that I travel with. My new EDC is a Sebenza 21.
 
"Favourite"? How's about the term "most useful". For 45 years now I've carried a SAK Spartan. Plenty enough extra tools on board to accomplish more things than slice tomatoes, open mail and sharpen pencils and yet small enough not to wear out a pant pocket nor require a holster.
How many EDC users here are willing to clean off engine manifolds, open sardine cans, paint pail lids or tighten or loosen stubborn slot/Philips/Robertson screws with their 'finely honed and polished blades-only' babies?

Good points. That's why Crom made Swiss Army, Leatherman and Spyderco (undertones of S'co dislike are present).

I like to use regular screwdrivers and a can opener. :p
