On my belt everyday is a Buck Lite lock blade knife I bought in 1985. Still carried in the original canvas belt pouch that came with it. Can't believe I never lost it. Use it to gut deer, and otherwise just keep it on my belt for when I need a moderately heavy spined knife for something.
In my pocket is a old small 2 bladed Imperial for normal everyday things like cutting strings, boxes open, etc. Also use that pocket knife to cut the scent sacks off of deer as I like to remove them first thing before gutting, and always do it with a separate knife than what I use for gutting.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

A yellow Case Trapper for day to day stuff.
A Cold Steel Slockmaster if I’m hunting, fishing or doing stuff around the ranch.

Benchmade CLA. It's a plain edge and I like the auto action. I wouldn't mind it being a combo edge though.
My edc on the ocean is is a vikki. (Victorinox 4in serrated rope cutter)

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Stinger XL from Off Grid Knives. Fairly big knife, 4" blade, but pretty flat in the pocket. I really like it. Been carrying it for a couple years or so. https://www.offgridknives.com/stinger-xl-coyote-with-154cm/

ZT 0450 I had one of those, my son talked me out of it. Nice knife!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I like the Ka-Bar Dozier D2. Under $40 and I won’t cry too much if I lose it.
Spyderco is in the rotation too.

I carried a Leatherman Wave for many years. When I retired, I no longer needed a big heavy thing like that. I ended up with a little Buck 363, 2" blade. It's not high dollar by any means but it does take a decent edge. It's too small for real work but for my use, it does the job. It came as a set with a larger 365. I carry that one when I'm doing things that might require a larger knife. It has a belt clip and slips right into a back pocket. It's easy to forget it's there and it's been through the wash dozens of times. It handles water very well. 363 2" 365 Rival II 3 1/8"

In my pocket, it's either a Spyderco PM2 in S30V, or a Buck 112 Slim.
For woodswalking I prefer a fixed blade on my belt, an ESEE 3 gets the nod.
