I'm so glad to see this thread bumped up.

I carry a very small swiss army.
Never leaves my pocket
It's not classy at all, but if I ever need to build a shed for some reason I'm covered.
I didn't know they still made those. I really don't use hex/torx wrenches often enough to justify the $100 but if I had a hands-on sort of IT job I would probably spring for it.
Daily carry is a Kershaw Blur. It's the second Kershaw I've owned. I love it, and I keep it razor (as in shaving) sharp at all times.
Matter of fact, my wife is putting up wallpaper tonight, and she's been having a hard time with her replaceable blade utility knife. I handed her my Blur, and she absolutely loves it. Every time I hand it to my son-in-law for something, he'll cut whatever needs cutting and say, "Damn that knife is sharp!"
FWIW, I really like the reverse curve of the blade, it really grabs on and cuts through tough stuff.

Since my last post I've gotten lots of new stuff and sold off a lot of my old stuff. My current collection is Waved Spyderco Tasman Salt, Spyderco P'kal, Emerson La Griffe, plain small Sebenza, Benchmade 530 and an Emerson CQC-7b. I also have a Tom Krein TK-1 en route and he's making a pocket bowie for me.
Carried a Gerber Ridge for a while, one of my favorite knives. Lost it when I moved into a new apartment last August.
Out of curiosity, I have a handful of $25-50 pocket knives that could all use some love. Any honemeisters out there who would stoop so low as to give 'em a fresh edge? Is it even worth it?

Older style Leatherman Wave, given out a few years ago by my company for its 25th anniversary. Has my name and the occasion engraved on it. I almost always have it on my belt unless it's clearly inappropriate. Leatherman Micra in one pocket. My old Leatherman Supertool is in the car.
Rough Rider pearl-handled lockback my wife gave me. Very nice knife for very little coin.
My everyday carry and user is a custom Patrick Nihiser Active Duty.
This one is called a Swiss Army "Midnight Manager" pocket knife. Carry one of these bad boys with me all over. Very small and handy. Knife, small philips head & flat head, scissors, bottle opener, a small light and a pen.
If I expect to need something a bit more heavy duty I have a Leatherman Skeletool which I did a review of over here at the SpeakEasy.
swiss army spartan for me, Its a great all around knife thats served me well for many years.
Opinel or case depending on my jacket.
