Swiss army Rucksack for me. I have 2 of these. On one I have re-ground the blade to EDC requirements and also the saw to make sure! Also removed the lock and permanently glued the lock button solid. This is an EDC. The other is for reasonable excuse situations.

Also I have a Fallkniven U2 EDC.

Looked at the svord pheasant. Does anything hold it open other than the 'tang' stuck out of the spine being held by the hand? Googled it and lots of pictures of people holding one and blood :(

Mine has a nice little tweak which renders it lock solid without a lock!
If I can manage to put some pics on I'll show you how it works.
BTW I've seen lots of Victorinox blades dripping with the owners' blood.Why do you think they have red scales?
Cheers , Simon

Now that's not fair. You know I have a shiney, pointy addiction, so that was below the belt :)

Like the joker a lot. Must keep that one in mind. Also never had a Spyderco so that's firmly in mind also. See what you've done.

Two things I've learned from this thread already. EDC and why it's called a canoe knife. I already knew I was addicted so that's not news :)

Wenger Evolution 17 soft touch as EDC, never leaves my pocket. Got it in an sale at Cotswolds to replace the Victorinox Rucksack knife I'd carried for about 15 years, but sadly no longer legal because of locking blade. I bought a Mora to live in my rucksack as the Wenger is not suitable for the heavier jobs the Rucksack knife used to cope with. This means I'm back to carrying two knives- just as I always used to when a Boy Scout over 50 years ago!

I'm trying out this at the moment. It's sharp and strong, good for cutting and prying small stuff. Blade is 8 cm and locks in place. Knife folded is 11.5 cm. It has a strong belt clip. Don't ask me if this is legal in the UK - it's legal where I live and that's all I care about

Here is the lineup of my EDC rotation:
P1210400_zpsd250463f.jpg

SAK Huntsman, Svord Mini Peasant, Spyderco Urban and Squeak.
The Urban doesn't get much pocket time, as it is no longer made and couldn't be replaced if lost (also it is the most expensive). The Squeak is generally in my pocket far more, but has been usurped by the Peasant, which is one very crude knife (uneven grinds, less than straight blade - but cheap and I love it!). The SAK I have had since I was 15 so it is a real old friend (I'm 39 now)
