What I carry (not all at once)
1- Emerson mini-Commander 2-CRKT 3-Kalishnakov folder 4-Kershaw blur 5-Smith and Wesson "extreme ops" 6-Smith and Wesson "homeland security" Fixed blade Knives 1-John Ek custom made 2-Smith and Wesson "homeland security" tanto 3-Spanish Military "cuchillo" 4-Stealth Trooper I swap out my EDC folders dpending on the situation. I recently retired my Ek for the S&W and/or Stealth trooper on my first line gear belt,with MCSS purchase MOLLE II sheath. I have had too many USAF survival knives to even remember,stolen or lost,which I used to customize by cutting off the top part of the crossguard,back when I could get them in MCSS for $12.00 in the 80's! I keep the emerson in my ACU pocket and a backup S&W folder on my CIRAS during drill and deployments to OIF and OEF. When going south,I only carry 1 folder, my emerson,and a long knife on pants belt. Hope this helps someone.

Gerber Rescue folder.
The clip is a piece of shit and I've told them so (with no repsonse), but the integraged seat belt/clothes cutter is among the best I've used. The window punch on the end is good for people also. The steel is an upgrade from the usual Gerber breaks-when-you-really-need-it-we-sold-out-so-if-you're-looking-for-a-good-knife-from-a-Portland-company-go-to-leatherman-benchmade-or-crkt quality.
In short, I haven't been impressed with Gerber products in real world application, with the exception of this knife and my demo multiplier.

You, sir, are obviously in need of something constructive to do. Go make me cookies.

I carry a razor-sharp Buck folding hunter everywhere I go in the US. Very useful tool.
There are a couple missing... The PS is one, a BladeTech rescue, and a couple of others...
Ajax- you owe me beers, no cookies for you.
I carry a variety. I like my CRKT Kilbuck. Most of mine are for hunting purposes. I carry at least 6 in my hunting pack. They vary from my Buck to my Kershaw 3 blade interchangable, also Gerber Gator, Schrade Old Timemer.
I know these aren't the most high dollar knives out there but for practicality sake they have all been very good knives. One piece of advice I will give is to go online to a farrier supply site and order a hoof knife sharpener. I carry on in my hunting pack even. They will put a quick edge on a knife, with minimal effort. I even use them on all my kitchen knives.:2c::cool:

I know for sure there are 3 bayonets missing from that pic.
I love bayonets, they are a very underrated weapon in this day and age.

I have the same AF Survival Knife as CAR but without the intials!!! Was standard issue kit.
I also carry a SOG Spec Elite I and also a Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Covert - Black.
I also have several sheath knives like a Kershaw Amphibian Boot and a Gerber Mark II.

I pulled some strings and got one of my young SGTs in JM school, even though he was leaving the 82d in about two months.
I lent him my issue knife for his PWAC portion (that's Practical Work in the AirCraft, Chop).
Well, the next time I pulled JM duties, I went looking for my knife.....WTF!!! I ranted and raved all around the platoon CP. Scared my LT
Fucker had left and apparently took my knife with him. Guess it was payback for breaking one of the pins off in his chest when I gave him bloodwings.....So, that's why the platoon gave the one with the initials on it when I turned them over to another guy.

Ouch on the pin breaking for his blood wings. I still have my scar too but no pins broke!!
Worst yet is when I got my SGT stripes and had to walk the line. I could not lift my right arm for 3 or 4 days afterwards! Black, blue, green, yellow, red all at the same time!
Great Knife! That thing can keep a serious edge on it!!!
I've carried a lot of knives, and my favorite has been an Al Mar. Same company that made the SERE knife for graduates of the course awhile back. I carried an Eagle Ultralite, until it ran away...
Now I have to buy another one. Not too big, extremely sharp, and stays sharp.

A Columbia River Knife and Tool K.I.S.S. Knife. They work great as a money clip with the added benefit of having a blade with you when you need it.
Damn, I am embarrassed about mine-all folders....a Schrade, Kersahw, and and old cheap Rigid. Lost my Bear Claw recently down in Jean Lafitte, LA.-that was a heartfelt loss. Last rites....Rest in peace my friend.
Anyways...humble I am, here are my daily users...if I can get the damn image to upload.....:doh:View attachment 6825

I can't get the pic to upload... 
Anyway... M16-01 CRKT for civi's... Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder-black, HK/SOG TacRigid-black, Chris Reeve Pacific 6", and of course the M-9 wannabe KA-BAR. My Benchmade grew legs
, so I replaced with the less expensive CRKT
