So what is everyone's favorite edc pocket knife. I am in the market for a smaller folding pocket knife that fits comfortably in a front pocket. I always have my Gerber multi tool on me but want a small knife for my pocket. Was hoping to find one with a cross lock (just because but not set on it)but most that I am finding are a little bigger than I wanted. So what is you favorite edc knife (preferably one still available)?

Thanks in advance

Case single blade copper-lok

I carry a Case mini trapper. It is not locking.

Buck 284. Inexpensive and tough. A great cutter yet a couple strokes on a good steel brings the little guy right back
to top form.

I've been carrying a Kershaw Speedsafe with a pocket clip in stainless for years, very handy and useful.

Buck 309, small compact.

Spyderco Police model - serrated edge



I bought this knife used , from a friend 25 years ago. I carry it every day.
Bigger than some but a thin profile in your pocket when using the clip. At first , I was not a fan of the serrated edge , but have grown to liking it as it always has a edge to cut something , never feels like a dull knife.

Very well made , I guessimate this knife is 40 years old. Good Japanese stainless steel for the blade. No slop in the blade or handle and this knife gets used a lot.


They still make it , however due to the good quality , it has gotten spendy. Roughly $150. I got mine used for $20.

I carried a Case folding knife for years and years. Today, while on vacation in Tanzania, we visited a Masai village. The men all had Bowie knives in homemade sheaths. I asked the chief if I could see his knife and it was a Case brand. I produced my razor sharp Case lock back and gave it to him. He was mighty appreciative.

over 30 yrs i've carried this one., been lost a couple times but always found it eventually.

There's thousands of available "pocket" knives, from very cheap to very expensive, most come with a clip which I recommend, very slim and take up very little room....right now I have a Byrd, 3" clipped to my front pocket, I once used a tiny 2" Gerber to skin and bone out a deer, unless you want something "tactical" pretty much any small decent named knife will work....

I carry an old single blade schrade Copenhagen snuff knife

This is the problem. I've been through the 1900+ pocket knives on midway twice and have like 30 of them in my cart! Now having a hard time narrowing it down from there.

I carry an old timer and a case

Kershaw 1560, Ken Onion design. Unfortunately discontinued but you can look at them on the web and look for something similar.

When I was getting ready to retire in the fall of 2010, just 4 days after my birthday, I knew I wanted a larger knife as my EDC. Nothing really big, just something larger than I had been comfortable carrying in the dress pants I wore to work. One of my sons asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told him about wanting a knife, nothing expensive but decent quality like a Gerber or Kershaw. He picked out the Kershaw for me and I love it. My only complaint is that if you carry it clipped, and I do almost always, the clip will scratch up the buttstock of a rifle carried slung over the shoulder on the same side. I expect that's true of any knife carried clipped.

Williams Glide Folder or RX Flipper are hard to beat for knives. Favorite EDC is the Glide though. Loved SOG until I found Williams.

This is what I carry, it does the job for what I want. I really like the mini spring assisted knives. Kershaw has one I wouldn't hesitate purchasing. Benchmade also has one I like but I'm not going to spend over 100 for an everyday carry knife.

I carry sheath knives.
