I carry a Gerber Vallotton everywhere . Assisted opening , stout 2.6'' blade with a deep carry style clip . I convexed the edge to improve the durability because I put it through some rough usage .

Sheesh... all this time on the forum and I don't realize until tonight that we have a knife section of the CPF. Wonderful!
I tend to alternate my daily carry knife... for a while this Persistence was ruling the roost. For the money, it's a fantastic knife.
Lately I've been alternating between a Spyderco UKPK G10 S30V and a Spyderco Delica G10 FFG VG-10. I like the Sage 1 quite a bit, but these other two are what I seem to prefer to carry. The Cat is sure an awesome little knife as well, which I'm sorry that Spyderco couldn't continue to produce at such a great price point. I have a couple of them, but still, the UKPK and Delica get all the action these days. I've got some Benchmades that are great knives and I do like, but still, somehow my Spydercos just win me over all around.

The Core group:
A SOG Twitch II for general cutting tasks.
A Rough Rider Sleeveboard Whittler for fingernail cleaning or when the Twitch might hurt a haters feelings.
A China made Cabelas Scout knife for fixing mud flaps, opening cans of tuna and such.
If in cargo shorts one of my nice Case knives can be found in the right side pocket, and a Camillus TL-29 Electricians knife in the left for cutting meat at Truck Stop Restaurants.

For normal day to day carry I use the Spydie Caly III, when in uniform I change that for a Endura, if I`m just doing normal uniformed day to day stuff - I carry a fixed blade on the battlerattle...
Spyderco Police 3 has been my EDC for awhile now.

Chris Reeve Sebenza. Built like a tank, Sebenza translates to "worker" in Zulu, and that's what it is. Been my EDC for 15 years.

CRK Umnumzaan is probably my top dog. Green Manix 2 has been seen good carry since I got it almost a month ago. The UKPK and Waved Delica always work their way in too. I can only go so long before wanting to use them.
Begg Tree Frog sees the most use among fixed blades.
Glad to see there's others out there who cant pick just one! Now days I mostly carry my Rift, but I still switch to some of the others every now and then.

I was showing my rescue tool to a friend once and as I was folding in the seat belt cutter it closed down on the tip of my index finger.
At first it didn't hurt - I didn't even know I hurt myself until I took a closer look and saw blood gushing out.
My rescue tool has since faced exile in the glove compartment of my car![]()
My EDC knife is the Böker Keycom.
Considering that even carrying the keycom in a public place is illegal here, I usually don't carry anything bigger.

Got a Spyderco Para2 a while back. Put a titanium clip on it and been carrying as my city EDC since:
Still carry a Military when I don't have to be concerned about scaring people![]()
EDC is Blackhawk Pointman or ZT 0350CB or Lonewolf D2 Harsey or Stirder SMF what ever I am the mood for that day.
For 22 years it was a SAK knife currently called the tourist. I thought it was called the cadet or captain or something like that 22 years ago.
I lost that darn knife a couple of years ago, I still hope it'll turn up, and since then I've been trying out different things.
For a couple of years my EDC has been my LH small Sebenza. I recently bought a William Henry Lancet and that has become a regular EDC. I'm not sure that it will displace the Sebenza but I'm open to the idea.
I'll be getting my Mnandi from CRK this week so we'll see how this little EDC play works out.
Then strangely enough a couple of CRKT knives wind up in my pocket occasionally. Strangely because they are so plain and economical, I hate to call them cheap, but quite functional none the less. They are an M16-01Z and an Ichi. I really like the assisted opening of the ICHI. The M16 is pretty much permanently clipped to a pair of shorts that I often wear working in the garage.

You enthusiasts sure have some nice tools.
I usually carry a little SOG Flash 1 clipped inside my right pants pocket. Sometimes I switch to a BenchMade Mini-Ambush.
No matter which primary knife I may be carrying, I always have a Leatherman Multi-tool near by.
Bye-the-by, I always try to have my NiteCore D10 clipped inside my right pants pocket.
Enjoy the light show - LedTed
Benchmade 9051sbk almost everyday.
Microtech Combat Troodon occasionally.
Gerber multi plier 800 is the one I actually use most!
The usual suspects... not very original, but prime examples of great design and craftsmanship!
