I am a bit sad with my EDC I generally rotate a Byrd Tern that I match with a black metal clipper and a black thrunite torch. It's counterpart set is a Victorinox Alox solo with a chrome Solarforce torch and a chrome finish Metal Clipper. For work I rotate a Victorinox Super Tinker with a Victorinox Handyman.
On my key set I have another little Victorinox Alox knife.

I do have a Trevor Ablett (it's a Sheffield thing, you have to have one :)) but its a little weighty in the pocket of trousers.
I feel a trawl through Amazon looking at Wenger and Victorinox coming on. However a look for Joker may be in order too given the popularity. Must resist clicking buy however.

go on. press buy...you know you want to.
then do the same with a gb outdoor axe.....

Stop it. The missis will kill me, then possibly hunt you down too :) probably not.
However I did drop into conversation last night that I bought that blade blank, I waited till she had had wine. It softened the blow. Need more wine for when I buy the antler for the scales and the brass pins :lmao:
Oh, and a sheath. Oops

Opinel 6 in my pocket if I'm off to the woods, Colt stockman for when I'm in town and the little victorinox goes everywhere with me. It's getting a bit beat up now but I've carried that one for the past 10 years. :)

I also carry a Leatherman Wave if i'm working but don't really class it as a pocket knife.

The hook is for parcel tying and improvising ;) I've used mine to pull boot laces, get extra purchase on certain knots, a tamp for my pipe blah blah lol

I have a lovely Trevor Ablett bought last year when I realised he was still in business.I thought I'd missed my chance and he'd retired.I agree with Red ; Trevor's work is way too cheap.If he was in the USA his knives would be 200 dollars.It's my "posh carry" when I wear a suit.
EDC for my jeans pocket is a S&W 3 blade folder I got at the Bushcraft Show in 2011.Cheap , sharp (now), and very handy for all sorts of jobs.Weapon of choice for light carving & whittling.
For eating a nice olive handled Laguiole I've had for years but not street legal , or a Svord.
I'll try and post some pics tomorrow.
Cheers , Simon.
PS I know this wont go down well but I ?hate? Swiss army knives.I've never seen the attraction in a tool which does everything but so poorly.

:pokenest: fair point. I carried mine for years and used it for all sorts of stuff. Then felt the same. Wanted a 'true knife' and being in Sheffield, wanted local. However do see the merits of the SAK and should look at it again.

My favorite EDC is a Victorinox One Hand Trekker German Army.

I have something similar in my pack as a backup knife. Mine locks the blade however and is just over legal length. Hence why it's in the pack and not one of my EDC options.
Learnt a new acronym today. EDC :) simple things
