I have and have had lots of nice folders, mostly SOG, Buck, Kershaw and Gerber. They are all good knives for their purpose (every day carry).
However, I've recently gone to a fixed blade for EDC. I "splurged" and had a knife made of S30V steel forged and shaped down from a 1/8" thickness with rag micarta scales custom made by C.T. Fischer out of Elk City, ID.
With a well balanced blade and overall length of 3" and 6-3/4" respectively, its high corrosion resistance and its quick accessibility from the kydex sheath on my neck and weighing in at under 5oz sheathed, it's become my go to knife for every day carry. I do a lot of fishing in a salt water environment and with minimal maintenance, I've had zero rust issues. It hones to a razor edge and holds that edge very well.
Best of all, unlike a folder, it will never fail at a pivot point under duress.
