I stopped carrying folders when my Swamp Wardens arrived (which I now EDC). The last folder I carried was a Spyderco Delica 4. Believe it or not, this is probably the nicest folder I'd owned. Most of the others were much lower quality. My wife now EDC's the Delica.

There is a Spyderco Ladybug on our keyrings too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> .

I always keep a SAK in my pocket too. Earlier this week I retired my Wenger Highlander due to years of abuse, and started carrying a Vic Hiker. The Wenger was smaller and lighter than the Vic, and I'm having a hard time getting use to the larger SAK in my dress trouser pocket. My EDC SAK always has a Light My Fire Swedish Fire Steel tethered to it with 550 cord so this exacerbates the problem.

The Wenger was a freaking workhorse. I used that knife for everything, and it simply refused to give up. Eventually I started using the blade to strike the tethered fire steel which was the knife's undoing. It will still take an edge, but not an overly keen one. Bare in mind, I probably started 200 fires this way. Each fire probably took 5 to 10 strikes. Considering I paid $8 for the knife online in the 1990's....I'd say it was a good little tool.
