Man, you guys sure carry a lot of tactical-looking knives. I have about 20 knives, favoring Northfield and Schatt/Morgan folders, with either carbon steel (yep, it rusts!) and bone, ebony or real elephant ivory handles. No plastic or stainless for me; no sir!

I carry a cold steel recon 1
@irishsmoker Tom Brown lives very close to me, like 20 minutes, at least he did for a very long time

I've been carrying a Bear Grylls folder for a couple months http://gearjunkie.com/images/5137.jpg I have the middle one

Good Heavens, which way is the wind blowing? Always a 3" or 4" Cold Steel Voyager in the pocket, either clip point or tanto (I like the 4" VG-1 tanto the best, it's shiny), then in my computer bag a big Winchester multitool, Cold Steel Pendleton 3" Mini Hunter (my restaurant steak knife), a 3/4 size black plain 5 1/2" Ka Bar (for my big knife, can't carry full size legally in Texas), a CRKT 3" M-16 tanto (my abuse it knife), and a Swiss Army Mountaineer (might need a corkscrew).
The Ka Bar:

+1.. but in stainless not in the black. It's easier to spot when you drop it in the dark camping out. ;-)

@simnettpratt
5 1/2" Ka Bar same reason. In Ontario larger one is not legal except for hunting etc.

Benchmade Auto Stryker, plus a tiny little LDK.

I don't have it but you guys might like the Boker Credit Card Knife. Its thin enough that you can put it in your wallet with your credit cards. Boker Credit Card Knife

I've carried a Swiss Army (Victorinox) Tinker, daily for a long time. It seems to be the go to present the wife will get me if she notices it getting too beat up or the plastic handle gets chipped.

Another Benchmade Griptilian fan here. I have two knives and a trainer.
This one, but in green, not gray ...

This one,

And the trainer version ...

 

[bigvan]

I gotta ask... what's a "trainer"? I see it's blunted and possibly dull, but what are you "training" to do?

 

[irishsmoker]

@bigvan you use them to train for hand to hand combat involving knives.

 

[bigvan]

I've been studying and teaching martial arts for over 20 years and we've always used wood or rubber knives. I had no idea Benchmade had their own version.

Never leave home without my Buster Sword... lmfao

[portascat]

I carry a Smith and Wesson SWAT Tactical folder and a Solingen "cat" knife as daily carry.

 

[baronsamedi]

My Swiss Army has a tactical wine bottle opener. Most important feature on the knife! The long blade is a great plug cutter too.
Martiniman I like that shun. Where do you get one?

 

[portascat]

Hell, I will make it easier.
All this can obviously change depending on various situations, but this is how I am "dressed" 90% of the time I am not in uniform. The cuff key is an affectation, as I couldn't use that one on the job, and have no use for having it off the job.
