Got to awfully nice Swiss army knife made by a victorinox on eBay. I believe it's the model called the Recruit. Forgot how nice it is to carry one of these everyday.

Switched from Benchmade Mini-Barrage to a Volli. A little bit more size and heft, great blade and durability.

I have found that my favorite knife to carry is actually just a plain Swiss army knife. I use the more basic ones. Just four blades is all I really need I have found. And they don't freak people out when you pull one out in public

Benchmade Bugout has been my EDC for about two years now. Been through a lot of knives, nothing comes close for EDC as far as I'm concerned.

I like the Bugout. It's just expensive that's all. And I am not really to inclined to carry a knife that is over $100 given my propensity to lose them

I love my ZT 0456 BW... but lately I want something more stabby so I carry the 0452CF almost always. The times call for more stabby folders and fixed blades.

I have even seen him use the tweezers and toothpick!

Pena Apache, Fat carbon edition. I'm loving this knife, I don't usually like smaller knifes but this thing is awesome.

I have been carrying a Kershaw Dividened S35VN. American made, S35VN and under $100 delivered. I like it enough to add one in M390.

I used to be a Benchmade guy until they came out as anti-gun, and my favorite knives are Ferrum Forge designed Crux and Gent made by We, but F China.

I have a PM2 in S35VN, but the Dividend is just about the perfect size and weight for an EDC that you can use, abuse, and lose.

I've had my eye on those since they came out. Very popular. Love the look. I would probably lean towards the damascus version, but the micarta ones look great, too!

Plus, that blue color is just beautiful!

It's all about the Benchmade Bugout Mini!

Although I hate the G10 white scales the DLC coated blade version comes with. After only a few weeks use the white was more of a grey... picks up dirt real easy.

Eventually I'll spring for some nice titanium scales, or at least a different color G10...

I love the baby Bugout Mini knife, altho the blade is almost 2.9" (hard to believe). I have the satin in orange Grivory (whatever that is, it is like hard plastic). Nice black hardware. Tiny lil knife no one could possibly be afraid of and super light. And how can you beat the Axis lock w/ except maybe a frame lock.

I carry it when I don't think I should carry the XM-18 or when the XM-18 would be way too heavy.

If I need to go under 2.5", I go with my Fox Vox Suru frame lock knife. It is just gorgeous. 2.3" blade.

Grivory is a fiberglass reinforced nylon product, and upon second look, that's what's on my bugout mini too, not G10 like I had thought.

Super lightweight and still pretty strong. I don't experience the scale flex that the full sized bugout owners seem to face, although you probably shouldn't be prying things with a knife this small anyway.

That Axis lock is crazy strong. The blade will break before you break that Axis lock, undoubtably. I think it's far stronger than a frame lock, and pretty much anything else out there. Best part is how easy it flicks open/shut, and you don't need to have your fingers in the way of the blade when closing like some locking mechanisms do.

You put a full sized folding knife in your wallet? Just how thick is you wallet? How do you sit down!?

Thanks for the info on Grivory, sir. Yes, I experience zero flex with the small everyday things I use it for and it flicks great! If you are someone who likes to play with your stuff, you will absolutely love it!

I haven't researched the strength of locking mechanisms, but I would have bet the frame locks on my XM-18 and Suru are stronger than the Axis lock, but I would be happy to be wrong in this case! The Benchmade Axis knives are just so light and easy to open and close!

Very nice, I have the same knife with a gray handle. I got the M390 version of the 1776 that I like even more! I love me some american made Kershaw's and their more expensive ZT brothers.
