PS: Nice poll, Arthitect. Next time, however, I'd suggest you use single choice answers (radio buttons) rather than multiple choice answers (checkboxes) to questions whose answers are mutually exclusive. Just a thought. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> This was my first poll, and I struggled with getting it set up the way I wanted it. Your suggestion would have been better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .

Like most folks, who are not knife lovers, I carry a pocket knife every day. I may go for weeks without ever using a fixed blade knife, except in the kitchen.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

My edc is a ESEE Izula in the waistband or a Benchmade 943 folder clipped to pocket. I think a good edc must be unobtrusive and comfortable to carry. It's no good if it ain't on you and a folder is most convenient. But as they say, "folder's a toy, fixed blade's a tool."

Don't get me wrong, I use my folding knives more than my fixed blades, because they are convenient to carry. But when the SHTF I want a fixed blade. So for me the ideal EDC is unobtrusive fixed blade with a 3-3.5" edge, a cord wrapped handle, and a slender sheath.

I have to agree with HornDog. Although I carry both a fixed blade and folder, the folder gets used much more often. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

EDC folder is much more convenient for me in public. Fixed for hiking, camping, yard work, but also often with a folder of some sort.

I EDC a Busse/Busse kin fixed blade every day. At least 2 at a time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Any mechanical lock can fail, that's why I EDC a fixed blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I use my Delica or Mini-Griptilian several times a day, and even though they are "common" blades and not fancy at all I'll always give them props. They have yet to let me down.

I always have a fixed blade and a folder. Usually Swamp Warden or Game Warden. I still need to get a sheath for my mud puppy and that will go in the lineup. I always have an XM-18. I also always have my SAK and a leatherman. I wear Carhartt overalls everyday so I have plenty of pockets.
