No single EDC, or single knife carried--always carry two.
Most days a flat-ground Spyderco Endura, a generous gift from a member here, is clipped in my hip pocket. Occasionally, depending on how I'm dressed, it will be a SOG drop-point Flash II assisted opener. Nice, durable knife, but not quite the equal of the Spyderco.
In my left side pocket is either a Victorinox Pioneer (the one that used to be Swiss Army issue) or a Vic Super Tinker. Today it was the Endura and Super Tinker.
I have an Old Timer 8OT four-inch stockman knife I carry sometimes, and a number of others; but generally it's one of the SAKs for the tools and the Endura or Flash II for cutting chores.

Sometimes just for the heck of it I carry this. Yes it's legal in Arizona.
But I usually carry my S&W Tactical!

Plenty of fine looking EDC's here and suggestions but I am considering the Gerber Prodigy Tanto fixed with the 4.75 inch blade for a hiking and camping carry knife. Good price and looks rugged.

I have had a SOG Trident folder for over 11 years. I lost it back in April so I purchased another. I have used it from cleaning game to cutting steak by the camp fire. And have no idea the amount of zip ties I have cut through with the serrated blade tagging back in equipment. Then about two weeks ago I was digging through my ammo closet and behind an ammo box was my old one. Well the new one now resides in the safe and the old one is still going strong. The finish they use on there knives is tough also, I was a little wary about that when I originally bought it. But have no regrets.

Lost the Kershaw I'd carried for about 5-6 years in the winter of 15..... got a Kershaw Blur..... but with a 4" blade too big for everyday....... replaced it with a Benchmade "North Fork" 2.97" blade /wood scales about 6 months ago.Great 'midsize" knife
Still carry the 4" Blur when working around the house or cabin.

I tend to rotate my Edc knifes from Sog Flash &Trident ,Gerber,Buck & a Swiss Army. Most have been with me for many years.The Sog flash has been replaced over a year ago lost original. I tend to try to keep those mentioned as a flesh only strong side rear pocket. And Swiss up front weak pocket for every day chores. The swiss is about 10 years

I'm going to guess 25 years, but it could be a little more or less. Its a Buck 503 that an old guy named Charles Griewe did file work on. I like it and have only lost it a half dozen times. See, I have this thing called a wife. Back in the past when she asked for my knife I made a huge mistake and trusted her. She'd use it and then put it down. I'd have to retrace her footsteps to find where she "discarded" it. The last time, I thought it was gone for good. But with searching, I found it.
So now when she wants to borrow my knife, I say "what for?" Then I stand by her (over her she says) until she's done. We won't have more such incidences. I've purchased her maybe a half dozen knives over the years, but they're too much trouble for her to carry. She says its easier to just borrow mine. So I changed to not loaning it to her or anyone else. And if she does get it, its only while I'm watching.
People who borrow things consider them to be disposable. All it took was asking so they're not really invested in the item. Much like tools. I can't believe the abuse non-owners put someone's knife to. My knife doesn't get subjected to abuse when I'm using it, and now the policy is to not let anyone else use mine. I've gotta make an exception in my wife's case because I sleep next to her. Easy murder range. She knows she screwed up and the price is me never trusting her again with my knife.

Which model? What are Canadian knife laws like?
One member in Australia says that knife laws there seem not to be a great issue unless a cop is looking for something to charge a crim with. But he's in South Australia. In NSW or in Victoria, it may be different.

First I had to Google 'EDC' to see what that means!..
I just have a small 2" blade stainless blade and handle folder,,probably one like so many that are sold to be inscribed as gifts.
Cheap for sure, but it's held up for the last 20yrs and doesn't ever seem to get lost. If it does, I'm out 50cents,,Gun Show Bargain Box special.
It opens boxes, scrapes paint, strips wire insulation and countless other everyday jobs. I even sharpen it once in a while.
A good knife I'd probably loose within a week or cut myself with it.

The little-bitty Victorinox SD probably for well over 25 years.
I'm actually on about my third or fourth (or fifth?) one. I wore one out (the scales fell off), lost a couple and had one confiscated when I forgot I had it in my pocket when getting on a flight.
I now have a couple, one to carry and another as back-up. Toothpick, tweezers, scissors and letter opener/string cutter... What more could I need??

I bought a SAK Tinker when stationed in Alaska in 1965. Lost it out of the patch pocket on my jungle fatigues while riding in a Huey in Vietnam. My wife sent me another one. I carried it every day until 2002 when the main blade had been sharpened enough so that the tip was exposed above the body of the knife,and the red plastic had worn enough so the sharp edges of the Swiss shield and cross were exposed, making it painful to handle. I got another one, but I still have the old timer.

In January 1990, I inherited and have since carried a Collins Bros, Atlanta Ga, 3 blade (stockman style). It had seen some rough usage before I got it but it holds a super sharp edge for quite sometime.

I've been carrying a Cold Steel Tuff Lite for around 6 months now... use it for daily duties like opening boxes, packagings, cable, whatever, haven't sharpened it yet.
I'm not a Cold Steel fan by any means but I think this little one is great. It's very very sharp, AUS8 steel.
I bought it for its 2.5" blade and "cute" looks, so if I pull it out in the office no one is getting scared and thinking I'm a psychopath.
It's extremely light and low profile so it carries unnoticed. I highly recommend it.

I found the Gerber Paul in the late '70s and I keep coming back to it. Gotta go to e-bay to find 'em now, of course. None of the follow-up versions, larger or smaller, fit me like the original. Carrying one with wood scales, an all stainless is in reserve.

Welll, I carried a Buck liner-lock folder for many years. The handle "skins" show, ahem, considerable wear.
Then one day our Charming Children grew up, one becoming a LEO, one a world-class Ju Jitsu competitor, and the third, who didn't listen to his USAF pilot Vietnam Vet father and joined the USAF in July of 2001!!!, all decided Ole Dad needed a new one.
They got me a ZT 0301ST. Wonderful knife. A tad big and heavy, perhaps, but, hey, I can still carry full-size 1911s.
THEN I looked up what it cost. It is now in the safe.
These days the one most commonly clipped to my pocket is a Benchmade "Mel Pardue" (whoever he is) 5500 switch blade of 7.5cm.
A few years ago I was in Argentina and bought some switchblades. For myself, one of about the same size as the Benchmade and another about 1/3rd shorter. Both are very well made and were dirt cheap. Sooo, they go along as backup from time to time.
Oh, and I gave one to each of our Charming Children.
Heh.

Hmmm....about as long as it takes to lose it. Historically speaking,that could be anywhere from a week to 6 months. ( Does it count as EDC if I go through a repeating cycle of lost and found for a year or so?)
Bottom line: I buy my eyeglasses and pocket knifes by the dozen and hope to be able to put my hands on at least one when the the need arises. I can tell you though that somewhere in my property there must be a 55 gal drum full of both.

Been carrying a Kershaw Leek for years but today switched to a SOG Twitch II. Much sharper and the Leek tip was to thin and easy to snap.

I have a Buck 110 and Gerber Multitool on my duty belt. I got the Buck right before I left the Army in 97. The Gerber I bought is 2000 (ish) to replace one I lost on an FTX with the National Guard. I guess they're not strictly "EDC" because they stay on my belt and I only carry them at work.

My EDC for about 4 yeArs has been a CRKT M16-14ZFS 'desert big dog'
I previously owned a titanium scaled CRKT of similar design that was like an $80 knife and lost it within a few months. I picked up the zytelscaled version that had the same AUS8 steel blade for about $45 because I was sick of losing nice knives. Flash forward 4+ years and I still have it.
I carry a large blade tanto because I beat on it, i dig with it, pry stuff with it, pry open valve boxes at work, stab spiders and scorpions, etc. the other day I used it to peel back the positive post cover on the alternator in our 69 nova and another part of the blade touched a ground. Big flash of light and I burnt the tip off the blade.
It's still fine as is but now I'm considering a replacement version with titanium again!

I've had many, many knives over the years that I've carried. My current EDC ever since my daughter gave it to me for Father's Day 19 years ago is a Spyderco Wayne Goddard with a 60/40 blade.

EDC pocket knife
I've carried my Buck Stockman pocket knife for 52 years, minus the month that I had it locked up, due to misuse, when I was 15 yrs old. I also carry a Buck 110 that I purchased at the Army PX in 1972 {44 years}. They might not be the best on the market today, but they have served me well, all of these years, and will probably continue to do so for the years left.
Also as a side note the stockman was carried in school with no problems. Try that today.

Outside of the Sog Trident sometimes the Buck CSAR folder but you need the nylon holster [sheath] for this one at over 8 oz. Semi tanto point on this one and it is heavy duty.

Funny! I carry two. My tactical pocket carry knife alternates from a Browning Model 837 (not really tactical but works the same as one that is) to a pretty Beretta (model unknown at the moment because the Browning is with me) to a Boker AK-74 switchblade (my favorite but I don't always carry it) and a couple of others. Some of them I have had for a long time, some of them just a year or two.
However, my other EDC is a blue bladed SAK "Tinker" - and I've been carrying that one daily since around 1996 - yes, I'd say definitely 20 years!

For a couple of years I carried an Arno Bernard custom belt knife but when I started carrying my 2" K frames on my belt it was relegated to a shelf.
I was wearing it about two years ago when I went to my doctor's office and he asked me, "Is that your version of open carry?" I had to laugh......he knows what I do.....

Just added a Spyderco Tenatious to go along with my SOG TWITCH II. Added a zip tie to make it wave open out of the pocket. 2 is 1 and 1 is none right?

I've added a new one to my rotation. Lighter and smaller it's a Kershaw Shuffle. Out the door under $15 I will have few worries about tearing it up. good looking knife. I had to take another look at them after my daughter and son in-law each got one (for each other) for christmas.

My Pappy gave me a Case Stockman when I was 6 years old and started riding a horse to school.
I wore that one and a couple of others out, but I've still got one in my pocket right now.

I'm on four or five years for my latest Benchmade automatic, a Mini Reflex II with a serrated blade. Before that, I carried an Emerson CQC7 automatic for a couple years, but retired it for the smaller Mini Reflex. I've lost a couple Benchmade gentleman's auto knives over the years, but I usually have a pocket clip and a pocket gent's knife with me, the gent's knife currently the Benchmade Impel, which I've only had for a couple months . . .

I believe I started carrying a knife regularly in 1970. It was a Schrade-Walden Old Timer which I still have. It was a bit heavy and I switched to lighter smaller knives. I had a Tekna fixed blade keychain knife that I carried for a while. In my 30s I started carrying small Bucks from the Duke, Knight, Squire series, I believe they were model 501 to 505. I loved those knives, but kept losing them. I bought a fancy Puma, but did not like it because it was too heavy and the blame was more aggressive than my needs. A friend gave me a couple of Spyderco Lady Bugs for Christmas one year. I carried those until lost. At a DU banquet I won a Buck Multi-tool and Drop Point knife set. I carried the little plastic handled drop point knife for years and it was basically worn out. Then about five years ago a bought a Spyderco Delica 4. I fell back in love with the light weight VG-10 Zytel knives of Spyderco. I've added a couple a Spyderco Enduras and Delicas to my knife assortment, but the foliage green combo blade Delica with the pocket clip removed is what I'll normally carry.

I have a number that I have carried for quite a while. Favorites here.
Zero Tolerance ZT0200.
Zero Tolerance ZT0301.
Spyderco Manix 2 XL.
Spyderco Military.
Spyderco Civilian with some modifications. Not a working or utility knife by design and one that when I show it to anybody I don't wave open it because with the blade length and design it can draw some looks.
The top four are belt carried while the Civilian is pocket carry for obvious reasons. All are fine knives and I switch the top four out just as I feel like to carry one of the four.
Two new favorites.
Zero Tolerance ZT0804CF
Zero Tolerance ZT0909.
I am a fan of both brands.

Benchmade mini Griptilian with a deep pocket clip for 5 or 6 years. Kershaw for 25 years before that and a Camillus Barlow for the previous 20 years that my grandfather gave me. That's all of them and I still have them all.

Imagine my dismay when I recently reached in my pocket and found ... nothing.
This was followed by an hour of sifting through pine needles and saw dust where I had been operating the chain saw. All to no avail. I eventually became very discouraged, used many perfectly appropriate words, and gave up. Later, I went to retrieve my work clothes from the washer ... and guess what I found! Life is good. And, yes, after some thought, I will continue to carry it.

I've been carrying that exact same knife for 33 years. My wife gave me one in the first year of our marriage. I've lost it several times, but it always seems to show back up. Once I dropped it in the yard and my son just happened to find it. That was luck in a big yard of St. Augustine. It was missing for six months or so when it turned up in a potted plant. I figured it fell off the bar into the plant. I still carry it often.

I've got a little Case knife that my dad gave me about 20 years ago and I carry it most days, but not always. I've got plenty of knifes to choose from so I've always got something with me.
