If it's going in my pocket I'll usually grab my Case Swayback Jack or a Spyderco Delica. I used to carry a pocket knife all the time but recently I've started using a small fixed blade in a sheath on my belt.
I carry a rotation of several. I hope its changed since my last post and I'm not being redundant.

I travel 18-20 days a month via airplanes for my job and pre 9/11 I carried the Boker U.S.A. Tree Brand Carbon Stockman religiously as a gentleman never went without a knife. Sadly now it sits in a drawer and I carry the Victorinox around the house.
That said, my everyday around-town knife is a classic 1976 Model, First Edition (of black sheath) L6 Tool Steel Gerber Mark I that I have sharpened to a “shaving” edge.
Hi,
I have been an active observer of the forum for some time but just joined.
Oddly, the first thread I felt compelled to comment in is basically unrelated to shaving.
I have carried this lovely little Laguiole for a little while. I generally carry a small Loveless fixed blade and when out of city limits don a Randall model 5.
