So, what is your current EDC?
Mine is a small fixed blade, the Karda by Daniel Koster. The Karda is made of O1 steel. Blade is 1/8 inch thick and just over 3 1/4 inches long. Scales are green canvas Micarta. Sheath is Kydex.

SS4 or one of the 2 new folders I got in the mail yesterday, either the waved Commander(wave is awesome)or the Spydy Chinook depending on whether I can get away with a fixed blade or not. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Busse Skeleton Warden. Carry it every day without fail. Might have to mod it, tho. The pics of the polished spine mod and the inserts mod look so good, I may have to do both to mine!
WOOF!

I pretty much ALWAYS carry my 3" framed SAK Executive. I find the 2.25" SAKs to be way to small for my liking and the 3.5" - 4" SAKs are too large for my front pockets (poke out too much). The 3" SAK Executive gives me most of the tools I like to use. I use the scissors and tweezers a lot and occassionally the flat head tip and flat phillips.
*** I just wish the blades were decent knife steel and the tools were decent tool steel!!!!
When wearing dress pants, I can't usuaully carry much else. Sometimes I throw in my Kershaw - Ken Onion Leek or Chive for fun.
But, when wearing casual pants, jeans or shorts, I always have a 2nd "REAL" knife.
For me, my primary EDC is always a folder unless I am camping, hiking or hunting. If camping, hiking or hunting, I will often have 2 - 3 knives.
- I usually have a larger 3.5" - 4" SAK (or leatherman), a "Real" folder and a fixed. The fixed blade is usually a 4" - 5" blade. But, that is where the "which week is it" thing comes in! Sometimes I want a big chopper.... many more to choose. But, currently, my large chopper is my (personally made satin) Battle Rat. (Truth comes out.... I am missing one of the most significant Scrap Yard knives....) I passed on the Dog Father because I thought the DFLE would be shortly behind it and I didn't want to have to strip it myself. So, I have been waiting..... and waiting....
My current rotation of "REAL" folders are:
- Heavily modified CRKT Apache - Heavily modified RUKUS - And I am wanting to start carrying my Lone Wolf Tighe that I have also modified. But, I need to adjust (modify) the clip some. It is currently too tight.
I have lots of other folders that I consider very good and worthy. But, there is always some little detail I want to change, customize, and/or modify and I haven't wanted to modify so many of them.... yet.
I used to EDC a Kershaw Ken Onion Whirlwind that I only had to lightly modify. Still a good EDC choice.
Others with great EDC potential (for me):
- Al Mar - SERE 2000 (a little too bulky/thick, but awesome and very well made knife) - Benchmade - McHenry & Williams - Benchmade - TSEK large with axis lock - Boker - Brend - Delta Z - Osprey Scale release D/A (....but, not legal to carry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />) - EDI - Genesis I - Kershaw - Ken Onion - Boa - Spyderco - Military (WISH it had a thumb stud and not a hole) - Spyderco - Terzuola (WISH it had a thumb stud and not a hole)

I EDC a Spyderco native. I just finished a sheath for a Bark River Highland and I am fixing to start carrying it as an EDC. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
