Based on Little's question about the Bowie Knife, what does everybody carry on a daily basis and why?
 
  I carry 2 Benchmade folders.  This is everyday, everywhere.  No matter if I'm hiking, camping, whatever.  I did 4 tours in the desert as a contractor and carried the same set-up there.  I like the blades to be 3.5 in but not more than 4.  Single edge with not too thick a spine.  I like the 50/50 edges because I cut a lot of fibrous material (Those Slings, you know).  I like the Griptilians with the holes not the thumb studs.  I love the axis locks, strong and reliable.  I keep them very sharp all the time touching them up on a daily basis sometimes.  I like good stainless, 154CM, BG42, S30V, etc, but don't care about coatings or non-reflective blades.  The valox type handles are very light making them easy to carry.  I'm interested in hearing about what you carry as well.

Swiss army knife, the one that was issued to Swiss troops mine is dated 1984. I would like the latest one as it has a locking main blade.

I carry a Gerber lock blade with a 3 inch (75mm) blade, 1/2 serrated.  I use it many times daily, for all sorts of things.

My favorite is an Spyderco Endura (#3, for those who know of these knives).  I like it so well I got a spare one for when my user knife need to go into retirement.  
Back in the old days my favorite carry was a Buck Folding Hunter.  If I need a fixed blade I usually use some mora knife.

leatherman blast in the leather belt pouch....and a no-name frame-lock folder made in china.......found it on the ground one day in colorado.
its 440 stainless , holds an edge well enough, gets really sharp with a few strokes on my steel rod sharpener.
about a 3" blade

I carry knives pretty much all hours of the day. My main knives throuihg most of the year are the CS Spartan (mainly for fighting) and the Smith and Wesson spring assisted Extreme Ops folder for utility.  
 
In the winter when I know I'll be wearing a coat the whole time I prefer to carry my CS Recon Tanto in Sai Mai III as my fighting knife.
 
And when in the woods my ususal knife is the Mora 746g.
 
And every once in a while I'll carry my BK11 (becker neck knife) with a long lanyard so I can put my neck and arm through it and it goes underneath my left arm. Easier to conceal, easier to draw, and with a safty pin, it stays in place fine.

gah as a moderator i feel like i should be removing this. but it's so funny
 
however, in america carrying a knife for fighting, assuming you know how to use it (if your carrying more expensive knives then there's a good chance you do, like the CS spartan) isn't too unheard of. tons of dangerous places in america. just gotta make sure your local laws support you.
