Daily carry for work is my Gerber multitool. It has easy access to a flip open knife blade and lots of tools that I us. I'm on my second one. I called Gerber to get replacement wire cutters and they sent me a new tool. 

Hunting season I carry a Buck Crosslock. Fastone handed access and keeps a good edge. The handle is non slip. Works great on skinning deer and hogs. One side is a drop point skinner and the other is gut hook. They don't make this model anymore. 

Daily non-work I have a CS Urban Pal in my pocket.

Sharpening I just use a round stone with coarse on one side and fine on the other. I get great edges that can shave hair.

This is a subject close to my heart.  I'm what some call a collector.  If I were on the news for something bad, reporters would say I owned an arsenal.  They have to be leftys, or at least ambidextrious.

A small sample:
REKAT Pocket Hobbit



That pocket hobbit (love the neam looks like pretty much the ideal utlity kinfe for white water and climbing (not that I do much of either now that I'm back in Florida, but still). Curved blade to avoid accidental stabbing, serration for rope or harnesses etc. Tell us a bit about it please.

  All around: some from the makers, some from the knife boards, some from purveyors.  Going to knife shows, like BLADE in Atlanta is popular.  It's taken me years to amass my collection.  There are many good Internet purveyors like bladeart.com, truenorthknives.com, edcknives.com and others.  There are also some great retail stores, like Plaza Cutlery and the one mentioned above.  The places I just mentioned are good sources for CUSTOM knives.

  Production knives are a different story.  There are a lot more places to get those.  I've not used Dave's, but the web site looks good and has new stock, but they need to update their NEW ARRIVALS page, and their search engine is poor.
Thanks for all of the great sites,

I don't know a lot.  REKAT or Round Eye Knife And Tool, was a knife company that had a short but bright life that ended about 8 years ago.  They sold tactical styled knives, both fixed and folders.  The pocket hobbit is the folding version of the Hobbit Warrior knife REKAT also did.
  Here's a review of it with history and design notes:

Spyderco has been working on a similarly designed knife, which I'm guessing may come out next year.

I find it a knife with few useful features.  It's designed to hurt.  If you think it'd be good for you, they're hard to find.

Update

Hey I just want to post that I received my Kershaw Blur Blk Serrated. I just got it so no real tests yet, but for being a 60 dollar knife and going to be my new edc. I am really happy. It is super sharp and since my edc's get beat to hell I will come back and tell you how it stands up. My previous Kershaw whirlwind has been great and I expect the same.

Overload- You have some really really cool knives that I would love to have. I really wanted an Emerson Commander, but just not yet. Hopefully soon tho.
Did we win???
