You crack me up Chris, letting Hilary off so easily.
I do like that SLK Schwert. You have the coolest little pocket fixed blades.
Out here in Arizona we can carry any folding knife concealed in our pockets. Auto openers or switchblades are legal to own and carry. They are sold at most knife shops. The same with balisongs. You can own and carry any size folding knife in your pocket. You can carry any fixed blade, even a sword, as well but it must not be concealed.
I have been eyeing that RSK and really like Benchmade quality but these days I simply carry a SAK Farmer for the most part or the small Sebby, sometimes both.
BG-42, I have had it for some years now and sent it back for a refurbish job. I had Chris's shop polish the blade while it was in.
Used to have a Mauser MX-7, then a Wenger, now I tend to use the Leatherman Wave as an EDC, I have an excuse since I also use it at work.
To be honest I would probably be lost without one nowadays as it gets used for most things.

i got a victorinox huntsmen, swisscard and a wenger executive as edc... They are as sheeple friendly as knife's can get.
My personal fave is the super tough Al Mar SERE 2000 - http://www.agrussell.com/knives/by_maker/a_through_d/al_mar_knives/sere_2000.html. ): ):
This is the best folder I've ever used/handled (and I've handled a lot!).

mostly I stay within the law with an SAK classic and a lambs foot blade slipjoint (sheffield made), though the slipjoing gets replaced by a swiss tool, lock knife or mora at times when I have a good reason
SAK classic in sheath permanemtly on my belt,
sealy 75mm lockblade (used for work)
Frost cricket in trouser pocket

I normally always carry an SAK Camping (the old version) and a medium folder, depending on what is currently in favour at Danzo Towers. I recently got a Benchmade 705 AXIS and it makes a very nice EDC that will take some shifting.
:-D
Yeah, I know it locks.....
.......but it is just under three inches and I normally also carry a few good reasons in my legal utility belt!

Always have a Victorinox Classic on my keys and I usually have a LM Wave while at work.
Otherwise I have a Victorinox Junior (the one with a single blade) in my pocket.
It can cope with most tasks I encounter, it's legal and looks fairly innocent!
I'm going to change the plastic scales for some wood ones eventually (inspired by Chad). I've done one half of the Classic already - looks a bit strange with one half blue plastic and the other half a random piece of burled wood!

This is my 'work' knife. Sealy arn't reknowned knife makers,but this knife is exellent.Used for loads of cutting tasks especially cutting high tensile plastic banding holding brick packs together.
Fallkniven U2. Looking at photos it seems a little cheesy but this is a great knife. Very lightweight. Gets scary sharp. I know, I know. It locks. I'll bet if enough of you asked, Fallkniven would make a non-locking version.

Usually a wave or Mauser officers knife.
SCHWERT, the brass match holder in your photo, is the compass the lid for it? Where did you get it from? If you dont mind me asking, it looks like a usefull little item.

That brass matchcase was made by Keith and Marjorie Lunders in Idaho USA. K&M matchcases.
They were marketed at a time by Silva (Johnson USA not Silva Sweden) in the US, but they now sell a ripoff of his design for about the same price.
Keith can be contacted by phone in Idaho (watch the time....Mountain Time +7 zulu) at 208 826 3447.
He is having some difficulty procuring reliable compasses at this time.
These are really great matchcases, double O-ring seals, a unique cord to twist tension the stopper, an inside rough striker on the plug, and overall excellent machining. Button compass is resessed in the metal plug. Earlier compasses were jeweled, now unavailable.
Compass makes for a great backup but I always carry a real one for most navigation. One of these fellows came into play on my visit to London a few years back....popped out of the tube and could not figure out which way to turn...checked the matchcase and marched off in the correct direction.
Brass and aluminum models. The image shows some progression in design over the last decade. Newest on the right.
One of these is EDC along with a decent small knife for me.
