I actually have two, the classic Buck 110, (I have at least a dozen, including three from the custom shop that I’ve had for years), and for a smaller folder I like Barlows, have at least six of them, including one modified by glennbad.
 
I'd pick the Spyderco Delica I suppose. I carry a Spyderco Dragonfly a lot more but if I could only have one the slightly larger one would be my pick. JMOHO, once you get much bigger than that I'd generally just use a fixed blade.
 
I like slipjoints, mostly. My favorite configuration being a Stockman, and my favorite Stockman being the old Case 6332 in bone, or 5332 in stag. The 63032 that they offer today just isn’t quite the same.
 
A modified Spyderco Tenacious or a Kershaw Emerson CQC-6 and for work, the handy dandy Milwaukee Fastback utility knife.
 
I'll do another jk family pic this weekend with the gifted hurley creek. I started this venture in 2015 and have acquired a great set of blades from a truly great man. I wish I could have gone to the gatherings or classes. Closest I came was in 2018 driving from ft benning to ft richardson was stop by and see John for a hunter type knife in natural micarta scales with black liners. But schedule put me behind and one of you bought it. I still regret not getting that and the one off pukko type in tiger maple with red liners
 
This needed a bump, I have recently got back from a trip to Chimney Rock, NC, cool trip, and I carried a MAM liner drop point. I posted the same pics in the csrrying today thread. Just cool place and the kn9fe did everything i asked it to do, light and sharp. Nothing fancy with 420, but it has been in my pocket a lot.

I can't single any one folder out as my favorite but I've been carrying my Microtech UTX-70 a good bit lately. It disappears in my pocket and the little boy inside still smiles when the blade fires out......also helps that I can now legally carry it in our state.
 
Hard to say favorite, but I enjoy carrying a new acquisition for awhile, I have my Old Hickory folder in my pocket in a vinyl pouch lately, and it has done the tasks I ask it to do. Fit and finish is rough but I lucked out to get one with no blade play, solidly built. could use some tweaking to make it better.B7937FE0-4DD9-4A69-91B3-79A9FA0BD4C3.jpeg2C51CC82-4DD6-4010-B133-C7CBAE5EE173.jpegA6A544BD-4A2F-41A7-A7CB-CFF6E0555AD0.jpegBF170DC8-1692-4422-BE9E-3DFAF66A2501.jpeg
 
My day-in, day-out favorite folder is probably the Spyderco Delica. Big enough for some serious jobs but small enough to carry easily in a pocket (and not freak people out if you pull it out in a social setting). I've had many of them, the base VG-10 model is fine for EDC but my favorite is the HAP40 version.
