I would ask if you’re really Chuck Norris but Chuck Norris wouldn’t need to carry a knife.

I carry the knife so I can cut the knife with butter.

I usually have this one, a Smith and Wesson lock blade my boss gave me for Christmas. I also have a mossy oak lock blade I wear sometimes, and I have a mossy oak sheath knife I only wear in the woods or unsafe parts of town...?

Ha! Let’s see if anyone else carries a knife in their back pocket . Today was the first I’ve heard of it in 36 years 

No back pocket for me. Its either on the belt on the right side or in my right front pocket.

[Smells like fish]

Like a bunch of you guys I have over 50 knives, I’ve never thought to count them. I bought this Spyderco Para 3 bout 4-5 years ago when it was first released. It is one of 4-5 I carry regularly. I am currently debating buying the coated blade lightweight version of it. I recommend their knives especially the USA made models.

Either my Spyderco PM2 or Manix2.

My EDC for 14 year has been my CRT McGinnis Notorious. The belt clip along with assisted opening allows me to pull it, open it, cut, close it, and clip back on my pocket with one hand.

[GRiver]

Leather  skeletool is my EDC. I feel lost with out it, couldn’t believe how much I use the pliers and Phillips #2.

Normally, it's the Buck 347 S30V, I have two and can keep up with one of them most of the time.  For the money, you can't beat it.  As with most S30V knives, they are a little hard to sharpen, but the Buck holds that edge as good, if not better than most other brands.

When both of those have been laid someplace I can't remember, I usually use a Spiderco camo S30V

When I want something smaller it's usually a Buck, three blade folding knife. 

When it comes to knives, I have a drawer with dozens of them.  Gerber, Buck, Puma, Spiderco and most of the older American brands, plus some custom made knives. Large and small fixed blades, skinners, folding knives etc, most any size and type one could want.  I also have about a half dozen Leatherman's I keep in the boats, tool boxes, vehicles etc, they are handy to have around.  

The only kind of knife you will not find in that drawer is one that's has "MADE IN CHINA" on it

No case knives? 

[Way2slow]

I have numbers of Case knives, several brand new, still in the box, true collectors knives.  That's all I carried for many, many years, but I have developed a sentimental attachment to those and since I'm so subject to misplace one, I won't use those.  

I was missing one of those Buck knives for over a year and was cleaning out the jon boat the other day and found it laying in the back where I had been working on some wiring.  Stupid crap like that is why I usually keep one on me that won't rust.  I have miss placed these knives months at the time.  That's why I have two.  Years ago, I misplaced the first one I bought, after several months of not finding it, I bought another.  A few days later, I found it under the seat of my service van.   

 

This one is early 70's and has never been sharpened.  Still new

It is a XX 7 star blade.  Hard to find.

[huZZah]

I carried a basic folding Gerber for years. Still have it, still rust free, minimal care. It’s now my “fishing alone at night” knife as my work doesn’t allow blades of any kind. 

[billmac]

I don't carry anything every day, not even my wallet.  But my preferred knife is a folding Buck in a sheath.

[Bubba 460]

OK ~ I've lost too many expensive knives ($70 to $125, for me that's extensive). Now days I carry a clip-on folder in the $25 range. If lost, I don't have to cry and  and turn the chairs and couch up side down and shake them or rip the house apart. Or take my metal detector and search the yard for five days. I just buy another and go on. A sharp $25 knife will cut as will as a $300 knife. Plus they're pretty stout as long as you don't try to pry off any hubcaps.  

[Way2slow]

I think it boils down to what you expect from a knife.  Since I have a wide range of hobbies and things I do, I am punishing on knife blades.  I can use it to scrape a gasket off metal, cut a piece of wire with it and then expect it to cut a rubber hose, rope limb or anything else.  I've never found a Chinese blade that would even begin to hold up to the stuff I expect of a blade.  

If it not S30V or harder, I usually don't keep it in my pocket when I'm working on stuff.   

Yes, I loose them and it sucks when you do, but that's still better than trying to cut something and it won't. I've tried a couple of name brand knives, Gerber, and Buck made in China, and have gotten so p****d trying to work with them, I threw just as far as I could throw them.  Never will have another Chinese blade.  

This is my work horse.  They were about $45 when I first started using them, I think they are about $80 now, but it's still the best knife going for the money.  Several years ago, when I had both of the Buck's hiding from me for a while, I bought one Spiderco S30V's at about $160.  It's an OK knife, but it still won't hold up against the Buck at half the price.

I couldn’t do that!!! I check my back pocket for my wallet about 300 times per day. 
 

also, “keys wallet and phone” runs through my mind every time I go in and out of a door, house or car

I take student groups to Southeast Asia every year (when there's not a pandemic), and it's constantly a 3 location pat down: back pocket, wallet, front pocket, phone, shirt pocket, passport.

I carry either a Buck 110, 112, or 55 in my pocket.

I do not carry a knife every day.  I like the Smith & Wesson M&P knives though.

I wouldn’t joke about it. I don’t get along with guys that go around waving knives in peoples faces in crowded fishing spots. The situation would have been worse if my wife wasn’t about to give birth any day and I didn’t want to be in jail when she did.

[Darren.]

For years I carried a Spyderco like this (it wound up about 10 years ago

being on my fishing vest until the tip broke):

Now I recently began carrying a Gerber Dime with a Nite Ize carabiner

hooked to my right side belt loop.
