I've been picking a different knife each day for a while, but I'm going to start picking my EDC for the week to get more accustomed to each knife by using it for a while. The only time I'll change mid week is if I need a different knife for a specific job.
With my razors and I've taken this approach for years. By using one for a week, rather than swapping daily, I get a better feeling for each one.
So, this week's EDC is this very nice Canoe and my SwissCard.

Swiss Card always in my wallet, had my compact tool kit confiscated at Dublin on the way to an installation (despite passing through there on multiple occasions with the same kit) Swiss Card saved the install, always goes unnoticed, extremely capable little gadget.

Treated myself to this Buck 110

@OrangeSport your Buck reminds me of the lock knife I had a a teenager (I didn't walk round with it then either, most of the time, but used it when fishing). I fancy another for nostalgia sake, but then I have an Opinel #10 for that...)
This is the knife i use every day now, the Spyderco UKPK legal carry in BD1N nitro tool steel. Although to be fair 99% of the use it gets is round the house, especially opening things in the kitchen. The one handed opening is a real bonus when you've got your left hand full, or wet etc.

These carbon steel blades can very easily be given patina. Just dabbing on tomato ketchup or yellow mustard. Leaving for a bit and washing off. Easily removed with emery cloth too.

Just a regular Opinel Carbon Steel, not sure of model number. Pattern is just home spun with yellow mustard dabbed on and left for about 20 mins. You can put lines on or anything you can draw on with the mustard. Think I did the process twice to get that over lay effect.
Only works on a Carbon Steel blade.
