Your pocket knife?

Right now a CRKT Crawford-Kasper, the smaller one, that I just picked up for a song from Sportman's Guide. Also have it's big brother, which I've had for 8 years, and a couple of Cold Steel Voyager Tantos (small and large) that I've had for at least 12 years. I like the bigger of the two CS knives, and just gave the smaller one to my wife for purse carry. Lastly, I'm not above picking up an S&W knife when they are a good deal somewhere and I've carried both a clip point Homeland Security (which just finished a three year tour as a regular passenger in my jacket pocket) and a clip point large SWAT (which actually saved my life when I got jumped by four idiots about a decade ago).
 
Boker Camper also called a Scout's knife left front pocket, been there 20+ years and isn't moving, Bob Dozier (or any of similar size that I have and want to try out) folder on my belt in leather case and any of a number of knives in the right front pocket and right rear pocket from Emerson, CRKT, Benchmade, Chris Reeve, Camillus, Buck, Gerber, Grohmann etc...

I have an old Swiss Army model forgotten with scissors, magnifying glass, toothpick and tweezers, a couple of blades and a couple of openers, nail file etc. on my key chain and it's been there for about 30 years...

I know already I'm getting a Fallkniven folder for Chanukah so that will have to go in one of the right pockets instead of something else till at least summer, otherwise daughter Nbr. 5 will really pout...

I always have three knives with me at all times, where legal, and sometimes as many as six...

When working the belt folder is moved to the left side and a fixed blade replaces it and a multi-tool is added to the left side of the belt...

It is my 44th birtday gift from my wife. I got to go to the store and pick it out. Got it early since we are having my wife's side of the family over for Christmas on my Birthday. :D
 
Forgetting my knife is like forgetting my wallet ... or pants. I feel naked w/ out it. For the last 6 years I have carried the same Kershaw 1550 w/ Ken Onion blade. Love this knife. It's been a pry bar, screw driver, fish and rabbit cleaner, and my daily box opener at work. It opens my beers and gets me back into my truck and house when I lock myself out. It's even been in the Bering Sea (Long story short - we were halibut fishing and got our anchor line caught in the prop shaft, guess who got to dive in and cut us loose?). I have been trying for the last year to retire it for sentimental reasons; the last few times I though it was missing were pretty ugly. I have tried about a dozen knives in the last year alone; Camillus, Spyderco, Gerber, even the odd Buck- they all got dumped in a drawer. Nothing else seems right. Guess I better break down and buy a new one.
 
This little Kershaw DWO 3000 kept finding its way into my pocket all the time and I finally quit fighting it- may have others depending on what I'm doing but I always have this.

As Ragnar says, "a knifeless man is a lifeless man!"

JTW, what happened to your Erickson?

Here's the one that's in my pocket most days.

Okay, since Necrothreadia seems to be an accepted practice here, might as well play.
Here are the main folders in my EDC rotation. Normally, I swap on a whim, but I just bought a new Kershaw Tyrade and will EDC it for the next month or so. I carry in both right front and left front pocket since I'm ambidextrous.

As you can see, as far as folders go, my motto is 'go big or go home' and 'a big knife can do what a little knife can do, but, a little knife cannot do what a big knife can do'.
YMMV...

Edited to add:

Here's a quick and dirty pic of the Tyrade:
