Your Most Used Blade?

Mine is a small Browning lockback.
I carried it as my second knife for years. Now that I most often carry a .38 Special snub, the Browning is my primary blade. It is a good-looking knife with stainless blades, brass bolsters and dark wooden handles.
It has a two and three quarter inch locking main blade and a two-inch second blade. The shorter one is useful for opening letters, cutting tape, etc. I have used the locking one while skinning and cutting up deer. I use a Buck Folding Hunter also, but the Browning comes in handy there too.
What knife do you have with you almost all the time?

Well that depends. I have a SAK in my poke bag that I use for eating or cutting fruit or opening cans (Tuna and Beer Bottles).
My beater is a Cold Steel med. Tanto that I got here for 15 dollars. I'm not afraid to abuse it on silly stuff.
I'm just to fond of my nicer knives to use them on anything other than opening up people. Thus they stay in the safe and the CS gets all the carry time.

An old Uncle Henry lockblade. It does the fingernail cleaning/screwdriver/boxcutter/abusive duty.
I usually keep another knife reserved for cutting flesh.

My most-used knife is the Swiss Army knife in my car, and its use is usually limited to the toothpick function after stopping at a fast-food place.
I am not proud to admit this.

I keep two with me at all times. My EDC knife is a Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556. The other is a small 1.5" blade that is on a Leatherman Squirt P4 multi-tool.
Both get there share of use and abuse.

Lately, a SAK Hercules. Before that, a series of other SAKs.

Exacto #1 with #11 blade. :) Seriously. I use 'em all the time at work and in hobbies at home.
But I suspect you're more interested in my usual carry knife: Benchmade drop-point mini-Griptilian.

Benchmade... these days usually a mini-AFCK (plain-edge, liner-lock), although I normally prefer my mini-Griptilian (drop-point, plain-edge, AXIS-lock version).
I'm switching back and forth some, trying to figure out if I really prefer tip-up or tip-down carry.

There's an old Chicago Cutlery (103S) utility knife that I use all the time for stuff like eating. I've used it daily for about 15 years. It gets the nod for most used. Of my carry knives, that would be the BM 940 that was my EDC until a couple weeks ago.

Eriksson #510 is my most used knife,but since it's a fixed blade I don't carry it everwhere.

The most recent use of my Browning knife.
I used the smaller of the blades to open a box of 1,000 rounds of PMP .223.
Then went off to sight in a rifle.
Without the blade I might still be knawing on that shipping carton!

Cold Steel Vaquero Grande.
I've had it four years and it's never let me down. Cardboard, yardwork, string, nylon strapping, hard plastic stuff they put electronics in, even used it several times for light carpentry work. Scared the Hel out of the guy dumb enough to pull a boxcutter on me.
My weakside blade is another Cold Steel. Pro lite folder with a tanto blade. Had it a little over a year, and it's great so far.
I also carry a Leatherman Supertool.

Benchmade Mini Griptilian. Pretty much always in my pocket and takes care of my daily cutting needs. It's handy and holds a nice edge.

Spyderco Delica.
Been an always-carry for several years, and has served well.
Though the AUS8 steel is not long on holding an edge.

1. Sebenza
2. keychain SAK with scissors and tweezers for splinter removal
Usually close at hand is a Polish Army Knife in the glove box. Really, it's like a SAK, but it has an eagle on it and the blade says "Made in Poland". You never know when someone will need a bottle opener or corkscrew.

I got the Tinker Plus or Tinker II or whatever the heck it's called. :)
Small blade and emergency blade get the most duty. The wire stripper/reamer comes in handy, too.

Attached to my keychain(except when flying). It's Wenger, both red panels have fallen off and I have no idea what the model name is. Love it!
Whenever possible I carry a small Boye Dendritic steel utility knife that a real joy to look at and use.

For the last 7 years a Benchmade AFCK, liner-lock half serrated edge, has been my EDC. This blade keeps its edge under the worst conditions and has never let me down. I'm out on the salt water fishing most days of the week, only thing is the black coating on the blade is pretty messed up. I know they make such things as boat knives and I do have a couple, but the BM just seems to be always handy.
I have a BM Doug Ritter RSK Mk1 on order that's supposed to be shipping out next week. This will be my weekend carry. I want to try that Axis lock.
Good luck, Richie S.

I was so used to liner locks, that when I picked up my first Benchmade with an Axis lock, I REALLY didn't like it. I bought the knife anyway, and will never look back. Liner locks are nice, but axis locks are GREAT. I love mine.
Enjoy.:D

Nothing fancy -- a CRKT Mirage with a half-serrated blade. I carry it all the time (except when flying).
