What kind of knife do you carry, if any?

Wow, GREAT thread!!!

I've carried a SOG Pentagon Elite 1 clip knife since about 2003, along with Case Sodbuster Jr. down in pocket. Before the SOG, I carried a Case Shark Tooth for many years. SOG came from my nephew, a Chief Gunner's Mate who was deployed with SEAL team in a MIUW unit. Most of them carried the PE so he bought me one. It gets and stays REAL sharp, thanks to EdgePro sharpener.

I use these knives constantly around my shop and opening whatever needs opening...
 
I rotate between these two Spyderco PM2's.

I have a drawer full of folders, flippers, butterflies, fixed blades, and tomahawks, but there are two folders that I use all the time: an Emerson CQC-8 and a Cold Steel Air Lite. The Emerson is for going places and the Cold Steel is for around the farm. The Emerson is a tank and the Cold Steel is light, thin, and easy to carry. Both are very well made, well designed, and feature great steel.

I carry a benchmade mediator every day... only time it's not in my pocket I'm hunting and a skinning knife is strapped to my belt.
 
These my EDC's, the wood handle Civivi on it's way.

I rotate the following:
  • Spyderco Renegade full serrated
  • Spyderco Delica half serrated
  • Benchmade tanto blade
  • Buck 110
  • Hogue Deka Manual Fold drop point Magnacut steel

The Hogue with the Magnacut steel is my latest and becoming my favorite. Super sharp and lightweight.

I currently carry either a Buck 110 Slim Pro or a Cold Steel Ti-Lite IV, depending on the weather...

However, I'm currently considering replacing both with the new Buck 110 Hunter Sport.
 
I used to carry a Boker Kalashnikov auto, and sometimes a Mirotech auto, but now I just find Schrade USA SP2's when I can, and carry them. If I am in the woods, it is a Kabar 7.5" USN fighting knife. To me the Kabar is the standard by which all other knives are measured. Even Randalls.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I have a rule about knives. USA only!! No Chinese Junk, and that would include Imperial, Taylor , S&W, current day Schrade or any of the USA manufacturers that have foreign made products. Some German stuff is OK

U and I think alike. I'm made in the USA all the way. Wild Turkey, Harley Davidson and GMC……Except for my wife's Audi. Those Germans sure know how to build a luxury car.
