This is my primary EDC folder, since it's the most recently purchased, but there are a bunch more that make their ways into my pockets on a regular basis.

This is my EDC its a Bengal Karambit. It has a Damascus blade by Jerry Rados in his Rose Bud pattern and the handle has a pearl inlay. The frame is titanium with a frame lock and the back spacer and ring is aluminum. This knife was made by Tom Kyle of Cutters Knife & Tool and there were only 4 of them made. I should also note that Reese Weiland did the finish work on the blade. The knife was a collaboration between the 3 makers. Sorry the pic is not better all I have is a cell phone camera.

My brother recently gave me this Kabar knife our father sometimes carried. He got it from his brother who carried it throughout WWII, so I guess it's at least 70 years old. Not really something I'd EDC unless I used a sheath. It's 9 1/2 inches long open. Blade is 4 1/4 inches.

I carry two. ALWAYS the Gerber which I bought when that model first came out (I think) and rotate the other three. A co-worker was using the Bear as a pry bar/drywall saw until he broke the tip off and I acquired it from him. Found the Kabar helping a friend move and he didn't want it. I hope to get others but I am just starting.

Despite liking my rich green Vic Cadet model, I don't think the Alox handles are ideal for my EDC requirements. So, I picked up two new Victorinox models. The first is a black handled Executive model. I find it a bit more useful than the Classic. It's a bit longer, but still shorter than many of the popular Vic models. Comes with a couple of extra tools. Funny as it seems, I actually could use the somewhat odd attachment that lets you start on peeling an orange. (I might be wrong, but I don't think it is found on any other Vic model.)
The second one I picked up is far more special. I had originally wanted a Vic Tinker model with black scales. Place I went to, only had the red version. (I know you can easily swap out handle scales on Vic knives, but I was hoping to pick one up immediately.)
Something else caught my eye . . . A Vic Spartan with combination Black and Pinstripe scales.
The Spartan is the same as the Tinker model, but with one difference. While the Tinker comes with a Phillips head screwdriver on the spine of the handle, the Spartan has a corkscrew in that spot, instead. Close enough for me! I snatched up that beauty! Good thing too, cause it was the last one they had in stock. They also had a sale I didn't know about. 20% off on each one! I walked out the door with both models for a sweet price.

That looks a lot like a Terzuola that I once had!

Oh boy that is soooo cool, please can you tel us where you got it from, pretty please!
I just got this SAK Alox farmer from CPF member Cuso over at the marketplace. It's going to be my EDC from now on, but first I need to make a new lanyard for it!
Look what happened after 5 minutes of playing with my new toy...

Got my Vic Spartan when I walked in to Paragon Sporting Goods, here in Manhattan.
They still have several Spartan models left with pinstripes encircling the borders of the handle scales. But I bought the very last black + pinstripe Spartan in the store.
Here's a link to their website:

That's a nice looking Farmer you've got there. I had a chance to get one just like it, on another forum. But decided to go for a black handled Vic Pioneer instead. Victorinox has an official company-store in lower Manhattan. They have some of the harder-to-find Vic models. But no black Pioneers. The sales associate even told me those don't exist. They do! And I hope to soon have one in my hands. But yeah, that sweet Spartan is still going to continue to be my EDC.

My latest addition to the family:
This one is for food-use only, it cuts like nobodies business (very thin full flat-ground polished blade that i keep ridiculously sharp). For all the other tasks i can choose from a BM Kulgera/ Leatherman skeletool/ RAT IZULA. And for those 'special' occasions i sometimes add a CS Pocket Bushman or Gerber stuff or other disposables to my normal EDC.
A bit of unfortunate news about the somewhat rare black-handled Vic Pioneer I ordered. A postal worker stole it right out of the brown mailer. Not a wild accusation. There is evidence pointing to that conclusion. I hope that low-life theif chokes on it. I'll track a new one down later.
Must admit, was surprised by the generous offer of the private seller to make me happy. He sent me a red-handled Vic Farmer for free.
Now I get to enjoy the same model as Essexman.
