I asked this way because to me EDC is going to be a folder but I am sure this is not true for everyone. EDC for some would be a multitool, or a fighting knife, a fixed blade, or maybe a box cutter but that could take us down a rabbit hole. I wanted to stick with folders to narrow it down a little. Mine changes with the wind. I carry Benchmade more than any other brand but probably a dozen different knives across a few brands are c swapped in and out depending on my mood. Spiderco above is one I go to a lot it seems I have thought griptilian to be one of the best knives nd often recommended bu me for anyone seeking advice. I recently got a new Benchmade and I absolutely love it. It functions awesome but come on..... sexy isn't it? So I look for a few things in a knife for EDC Size Geometry weight is a huge factor one-handed operation Steel and of course like any other quality and dependability but all of my options are based on what I plan to do with it on a daily basis and that would change dependig on the user.... So what do you carry?

I have had Many Multi-tools and even still have the very first one I got as a teenager almost 30 years ago. I have had probably 10 different ones including cheaper ones like the Gerber suspension. I loved the suspension because of the way the pliers worked but the tools left a lot to be desired, and I broke 2 of them. The reason I liked it was because of the feel of the pliers and how well they worked up until they break The swiss I got as my first one was awesome because it was a new thing I had not seen before and it was so MacGyver I had to have it. I liked it a lot but it was not ergonomic at all like the newer swiss are with the curb. My biggest gripe with them is that you have to open the pliers to access the tools and I like accessing the tools from a folded position. You also can't remove and replace broken tools easy but they have a great warranty service. Leatherman currently has me as a fan but they have a lot of choices too. I have had Several Wave, Several Surge and now own two P4's. There are so many things I like about it and I can't see me moving away from the p4 for a while, however, there are many job-specific models I think are awesome. So what tools do you enjoy and why?
