K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

My Benchmade CQC7 ATS-34 I bought years ago which is apparently worth a whole hell of a lot more than I paid for it years ago (was looking to get another one for my son).
 
If you love it, buy three. I have to because I know my wife or daughters will want. My house is full of knives.

On hip instead of pocket !! Lile L1 , had them blast it so it wasn’t so shiny. Made after Mr Liles death , noted by a dot above the LILE . They did this so collectors and others would know that they had a post-death knife.

Benchmade turret lately seems to be near perfect for my line of work
 
A Solengen knife from the 1940s with stag horn, 3 blades and no locking feature.

My great uncle gave it to me when I was 5, my father took it away from me and gave it back to me last summer 40 years later.
 
Since this threat came to the top, in my pocket now:

Some Coast thing that was free with purchase of a Thermal imager of all things. I was doing yard work, including cutting open bags of sand so I decided that was contra-indicated for good knives, and this thing keeps on working dammit!

Now, my favorite freebie was a folder that came with a Guardair purchase. Now, if you don't know, Guardair makes air tools, and specifically blow guns that are explicitly super duper safe. Really blow stuff away well but also zero chance of an injection injury. So, the safety first company sent out as a giveaway by far the worst knife I have ever seen. Liner lock and papier mache scales, no full length liner, so you could easily flex the knife to fold without hitting the lock. I gave it to a factory friend to put in his demo pile of dangerous things, but man.
 
Recently got a Benchmade North Fork folder with nice wooden panels. Lightweight and slick. Not sharpened yet so will report back on edge retention soon.

I like a very small knife like that because you can put it anywhere.I have the Spyderco Lady Bug.
 
Gerber Remix , good Fiskars steel great thumb studs, a pocket clip that’s held up since 2011.
The grip fits my hand well and I love the large finger hole for precision cuts. Glad I bought 3 of them cause they’ve been discontinued at least in the iteration I’m fond of
 
Emerson CQC-15 I may be a poor, but I have ok taste.

I also have a spyder co that I can't remember the model I switch it out with.

Cold Steel AD10 w/ the only aluminum SnaggletoothAD in the wild. The knife is a little big but really fits the hand well. The Snaggletooth works better than I ever expected.

Benchmade Bugout in blue. I was skeptical at first, but have come to love the simplicity and weight of this knife. Perfect for edc, and will get the job done.

Orange seems to be getting more popular. Makes it less likely you will drop and lose the knife.
 
Currently living in the "Old World", can't carry anything overtly or that you're not willing to lose due to a Pubblici Ufficiali having a bad day.
In the front pocket is cheap Kershaw Spoke. Use it for everything from opening mail to cutting up food.
