And me....orange as in the picture (no other options available at present). Extremely sharp and excellent build quality....think Opinel number 7 with snap.
This has been in my pocket for the last week and its handled everything I've thrown at it so far, not likely to lose it if dropped either.

Apocalypse green SAK alox farmer

Silver sak farmer for me, recently aquired. Before that it was my old oil the joints but the farmer holds a much better edge
Opinel #8 for me
Sheath I knocked up as the one I got from Opinel self destructed in a week and never had a firesteel loop and ...Hey.... nothing throws a spark like an oppy

Most useful is probably my alox SAK farmer but the one that gets the most pocket time is my spyderco squeak.
I "need" a GEC Bullnose - cant put it off any longer!

For a number of years it was my trusty Opinel 8. Then briefly a RAT1 before discovering the American Lawman. Most comfortable knife with two basic grip positions I have held. Curved blade geometry has me reaching for it on autopilot even when doing bushcraft. Triad lock is the knife equivalent of Fort Knox. A folder that would get you out of a prison. It's drawback is it's illegal here to EDC.
These are my two main users when it comes to an EDC, I do not really know if the A wright counts as a legal knife in the UK but here in Israel as long as its sub 3" its ok.
Dont know where my opinel went.
Been using a doug ritter mini rsk mk1 which is a great little knife. The benchmade axis lock must be the strongest lock available next to a fixed blade, and i like the powder steel too. CPM S30V. [designed with the collaboration of chris reeve, sebenza] Dead easy to sharpen. Love it! [Cheers Andrew!]

Here's my last leowen messer, confiscated from my hold luggage in Cairo, could have bought it back for $$$$ I only had a $50 so no deal.

only realy use folders
not realy a bushcrafter more a camper/walker who takes an interest in the skills I might need unexpectidly when I'm out.
I've been pocket carrying this set as my EDC for a while
Its a rehandled Queen in D2 - lovely steel and razor sharp - however noticed a few rust spots on it when I've been waterside so decided to pair it with this new Stainless Case
for dirty jobs I pair with a well used Great eastern cutlery gec #73 or a lockback gec #72 if I want the added security

The more I see these, the more I want one. Im very tempted. Are the mk 1's still sold?
Been carrying an alox SAK solo lately. Strong and secure backspring, Very thin width, Useful blade size, light weight and an absolute bargain at £14. Highly recommend one.

I love the little kit there Corso, really beautiful. I might put together something similar myself, what make are the torch and lighter if you don't mind me asking?
Only to carry publicly without good reason. As are fixed blade knives. And anything with a cutting edge longer than 3 inches.
OK I want to play too.
I am carrying this lannys clip point , handle is 4 inches and the blade from tip to handle is just over 3 inches
Oh here some better photos from the dealer that I got it off
