Your knife you carry everyday...

Buck 703 has been my favorite for the last couple of decades. 307 before that and Case stockman's before that.

Three blade stockmans are handy for several reasons one is you can sharpen the blades differently, have one for rough chores, even stripping wire and the other two with a much finer edge and kept very sharp. This has been my choice for a long time now. Doubt I will change anytime soon.
 
Always a Swiss Army Knife Classic.

Preferred daily carry along with the SAK classic is a Case Barehead Trapper with Yellow Handle and Chrome Vanadium Blades:

That said, I also take turns with a Swiss Army Bantam :

Or Pocket Pal :

Barehead Trapper and I go way way back.

Pocket Pal and Bantam was tested for a niche, for folks that could not carry a knife due to
blade length restrictions, and NO locking blades.

These work, fit a price point, and also make great office and vehicle knives as something to have handy ,or loan out .

Personally I always carry a Gerber Evo(and sometimes a second on a necklace) and a Gerber Mini Paraframe. When in bad neigborhoods this goes in my left boot.

Not sure what make it is, dad bought it in the 70's. It is marked "Explorer MM-V" on one side and "Made in Japan" on the other.

Of course, if I could carry any knife I wanted this would be on my belt for the sheer coolness factor, even though it is impractical for most things.

The two smaller knives are eating knives that piggyback in the sheath, and the shell is a .270 winchester round used for comparison.

My father brought this back from Pakistan. It is handmade, blade is 8", OAL is 13 3/4", it is VERY sharp. Blade is 3/8" thick along the spine, narrowing toward the point. (It actually says "Gurkha Army", there is a scratch that makes the "U" look like an "O")
Sorry for the gratituous knife pics. :p
 
My preference is easily sharpened plain and relatively straight edges, I switch it up between these right now:

Hideaway Utility Knife
A.G. Russell Featherlite One-Hand Knife
Benchmade Mini-Griptilian (556)
Kershaw Vapor II
 
I carry the hideaway knife in my sig along with one of these (except mine is black - bought it in Germany about 10 years ago):

the one in the middle

I have carried this Benchmade CQC7 almost every day for over 10 years. The best folder ever made, IMHO, of course.

I've carried a Spyderco Native most often, but I've gone to a Spyderco PE black Salsa recently. Great knife, about $60 shipped from New Graham.
 
I carry my Buck Hartsook neck knife everyday. Along with that, I carry at least 2 folders. I rotate between...

Spyderco Endura 4 Wave
Spyderco Native
Benchmade Griptilian
Benchmade Skirmish
Benchmade Stryker Auto
Boker Trance
Boker Subcom F (desert tan PS)
CRKT M16 (lasermax on blade)
 
I'll carry various folders as needed on my strong side (CRKT M-16, Blackhawk, etc). I always have my HideAway (titanium, straight HAK) usually on my weak side for weapon retention. It's comfortable on the neck too for deep cover. Never leave home without that one.
 
I carry a Spyderco Centofante 3 - a good balance between size, weight, looks, and quality.

Many and all at the same time:uhoh:

I go for various depending on my clothing and what I am in the mood for.

Karambit is hideaway while I am now carring a Gerber that is just, nice very smooth (my honing and making it that way) While I carry a small pen knife also. ;) Has a nice small blade, file, scissors, tooth pick and tweezers :)
