KNIVES?

What is your favorite liner-lock, lock-back or fixed blade that you carry on a daily basis? Mine is the Kershaw Storm II with the serration but I'm thinking about a new Kershaw Shallot?
 
I'm a fan of the Kershaw's myself. These are my two main carry knives.

In my humble opinion, Benchmade makes the finest non-custom knives out there. My EDC is a 550 Griptillian that has done 2 tours in Iraq. A close second is just about any Swiss Army Knife.

I carry an A.G. Russell feather Lite, Clip Point in ATS-34 Stainless Steel. It's light (1.5 oz.), fairly sturdy and the steel, field-sharpen-able blade takes and holds a sharp edge.

I keep a Cold Steel Voyager in my pocket along with a Leatherman on my belt. From what I've seen the CS knife is right at the point of diminishing returns. Sure there are better knives out there but at what cost? I got mine for $35, seven years ago. It's light, slim and holds a scary sharp edge well. The Leatherman is built like a tank. Both blades hold an edge, open and lock easily and seem easy to replace if damaged. Hard to fault the tool but I wouldn't buy one new given the views held by the owner.

Yes. I have a Benchmade, too, liner-lock. My Gerber lever-lock that I got from my dad 35 years ago is still going strong. For everyday, I carry a cheap (~$10) Maxam 2.5" liner-lock. I figure if I lose it, so what?

Yeah, I've got a big USMC Ka-Bar, but rarely use it. A couple of Italian stilletos, a few other pocket knives, and a drawer-full of cheap-to-expensive kitchen knives.
 
I carry a Kershaw, or Gerber Gator, my friend swears by benchmade. Benchmade also has a lifetime warranty with a 5.00 charge for resharpening.
 
I have several leatherman folders that do most of the daily carry work.

I keep a CRKT crawford falcon in my laptop bag. It's a little large for the daily grind of cutting packages and stripping wires and such.
 
My EDC folder is a Benchmade a friend gave me after I lost my Cold steel folding knife. I just got a Cold Steel Roach belly knife(for 10 bucks) to use as a skinning knife. I have dressed 3 deer this year with it and I must say it rocks! The sheath is crap but the knife is a hoot to use. I ordered 3 more of them. I cannot tell you how many sheath knives I have lost skinning deer and elk. I guess I get all excited after the kill, gut the thing out and leave my knife in the woods for someone to find. I figured I would go with a cheap knife but one that was well made. The Cold Steel Roach belly fit the bill to a T. The sheath is not all that bad. It does the job and what more do you want with a $10 knife.
 
My Favorites are:

Zero Tolerance 0500 Mudd Folder which is my EDC now.

And the Junkyard Dog II with D2 combo blade

(Again, not mine)

As backups I also like: Cold Steel Recon 1 folder, Spyderco Endura 4 and Spyderco Native (Wal Mart!), Browning Ice Storm (awesome knife for $25)

Fixed Blades would be my two Scrapyard Dumpster Mutts:

Pretty cool little knife. Opens by rollong your thumb across the top. Liner lock with an additional lock on the back that locks the lock, and a button to unlock the liner lock. Hollow ground, with a somewhat unconventional grind on the blade.

Normally carry one or two of these too.....
Boker Automatic Kalashnikov, a Benchmade Pardue 3550, or a Benchmade Striker 9100.

Fixed blade, one of these two....

Gerber MKII
