Currently:
BM 5700 Presidio II auto----black combo edge
BM 520 Presidio----satin plain edge----my old faithful ---been carrying it for 12 years or so
BM 520 Presidio ----black combo edge----picked up cheap since they were discontinued
Spyderco PM2-----black plain edge----the only Spyderco I like-----the other Spydies I own just sit
Just picked up a BM 908 Stryker---black combo edge/drop point---another discontinued deal------really liking this one too.
A Cabela's BM Mini-Grip every once and a while-----black combo edge
And daily at work---a HK (Benchmade) ---Axis lock folder---sand G10 scales---black D2 combo edge
All the Kershaw's I own just sit----they don't seem to do it for me-----Blur--Skyline--Launch 1-----I'd like to carry the Launch but there's no lock---so nope. I have the opinion that all auto's should have a lock so you don't have this sharp pointy object opening up in you're pocket at the wrong time

The PM2 is extremely popular. My hand and its handle just aren't a good fit. Out of curiosity, what other Spydies do you own that sit?
I love grabbing close out deals on knives. I like to tell myself it saves me money. Really it just lets me buy more knives for the same money.
Once I started carrying good manually opening flippers I lost interest in side opening autos. No lock to slow down what's supposed to be quick opening, and they're legal more places. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Kershaw Bareknuckle as a low price, high quality option.
I have 5 or 6 knives that I could carry, All Case. Really only 3 that I ever carry, and of those really only 2 regulars.
Once sees daily duty, and the other if I'm more dressed up as it is smaller in my pocket. It's my Sunday knife
Also have an original Leatherman that has sees duty in my hunting pack, in my snowmobiling bibs, on my belt while working in the woods in the fall. When it is not with me it is in a drawer on my reloading bench. Had it since I don't know when... around 1990.

Currently, I rotate my EDC between three Kershaws (Scallion, Leek, Link) and one ESSE Avispa. I prefer USA made knives, but the ESSE is high quality, so it is in the rotation. I rotate mainly to put all my knives to use (not a collector) and to suit my need for the day. The Leek is the composite blade and is my favorite.

Very nice! Why 1/2"?

It was a toss up between 1/2 and 9/16.
I went with 1/2 for battery terminals.
....for lack of a better reason.
1/2 is pretty common around here. Anything bigger than 9/16 pretty much requires a real wrench anyway.

The Spydrco's I have that just sit---Endura, Delica, Native and Manix 2
I do have an all steel Endura that I carried for years that I thought was great until I tried an Axis lock and better steels than AUS6 or was it 8? No plans on getting rid of it as it was a gift but no plans on using it anymore either.

No EDC rotation. I like consistency, for the knife in the left front pocket. Depending upon what I am doing, I may well have an additional knife, better-suited to a particular situation. If I plan to do a lot of cutting, I use a purpose-built knife, not my EDC.
Rarely, such as in areas where blades are legal, but not really acceptable, or where my EDC is too big to be legal/allowed, I will substitute a smaller knife.
My EDC, since about mid-2004, has been a Tarani Masters Model Karambit folder, made in the USA by Blade-Tech, for the original Karambit.com. It is the same design now sold by 5.11, but with G-10 scales. This is the only knife I will normally wear clipped into a pocket.

I sure do. Maybe 4 or 5 different ones, not including the ones for hunting. It just depends on what I'm doing that day. While an Emerson Commander may be a great edged weapon, a razor sharp Case pocket knife is more than adequate for little chores in the garage.
