I am in the market for a new EDC knife and I wanted to see what everyone is carrying these days. I am leaning towards and auto (OTF) but I am open to anything.
Post pictures of your EDC knifes. I am currently carrying a MOD CQD Mark 1.

Benchmade Mini Griptilian for me. I got the regular blade version rather than the serrated. While it isn't an assisted opening knife, it opens smoothly, easily, and locks up well. Sharpens nicely and holds an edge. Love it.

Spyderco Delica VG 10 steel. It's a standard. You might want to rethink an OTF for EDC, they gum up really quick if you use it for food prep.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

In the rotation:
1. Kershaw Skyline (USA made, nice blade, flipper, pocket clip)
2. Buck 340 Vantage (USA made, decent blade, small flipper, pocket clip).
3. SOG Twitch II (flipper, assisted open w/lock, pocket clip). Mine is the older model with the ?plastic/polymer/nylon? scales. Very light, but has some (acceptable to me) blade play.
4. When an exposed pocket clip isn't appropriate....Victorinox Cadet.
Nothing too expensive, as loss is an everyday carry possibility.

Spyderco Stretch 2, and a little CRKT. I need a good knife, and one I don't mind abusing. I have a cool little Browning two bladed lockback. Unusual arrangement, that, but it makes good sense. For some reason, don't use it much anymore.

Gerber LST. $20 at the local Chinese Embassy. No loss if lost, cheap and easy to replace.

OTF auto is hardly a good choice for an EDC pocket knife. I have several, and they just are not suitable for most normal daily knife tasks.
