Chris Reeve Sebenza. Small for around town, large for hunting season. Pricey, but once you own one, everything else feels like a kids toy.

I carry the Kershaw OSO Sweet (1830). Its been a great knife with a good thick tip that won't break the first time you try to get a screw out!

Spyderco Dragonfly Salt. I’ve carried it for close to a decade, I love that little knife.


I have a Pacific Salt I use for kayak fishing and I love everything about it except edge retention. They have a new Salt steel that's supposed to be as corrosion resistant as H1 but harder. I won't upgrade just for the heck of it but I do wish the edge lasted better on mine.

I have an s90v paramilitary 2 coming today. I have to get some diamond stones for it but looking forward to something a bit tougher than my Cryo.

I am no longer tacti-cool so I now prefer a Swiss Army Trekker or for lower profile, a Tinker.

Trekker

This is my favorite pocket knife ever, despite a few mechanical flaws I've had on one of my two versions. Perfect pocket feel, perfect size, perfect weight, and looks solid also. The good news is they will warranty any of those if the flaw is their design. They are acutely aware of design flaws, also.

My favorite EDC used to be a Spyderco Paramilitary 2, but lately I've been loving my Spyderco Shaman. It's just feels good in the hand.


Shaman is a beastly good knife. Which steel?

Also, yall know about Knifeworks in Columbia right? Best knife store in the state and one of the best online as well.

Had mine for 7-8 years and it's flawless, and I agree, it's a damn good design at an absurd price. Big enough to be useful, small enough not to freak people out, dressy enough to carry in nice clothes. China is the only negative thing I can say about it.

Just got a PM2. Had to radius the edges of the G10 but other than that I can see why it's so popular. Carries much smaller than I thought.

Not crazy about the clip either but I knew I'd be replacing that. Spyderco damn near invented the pocket clip and they're extremely inconsistent across their line with them. I don't get it.

I've found that it's always best to get a deep carry clip for them. I have no idea why that's gotta be aftermarket, but it is. They kinda encourage customization with that.

Spyderco Chaparral, had 2 delicas, loved them but lost them both. Black days. Then an endura, endura is just too big unless I'm hunting.
