What is your most carried AND used CPK?

I am trying to decide what CPK knife to hunt for. I currently own a SDFK. I need a smaller, more EDC friendly choice next.

I owned several BFK's, an EDCII briefly and have had a few Kepharts.

DEK 1

Dek 1 for me

When it comes down to it, I'd have to say DEK1 or FK[12]. I'd pick the DEK1 if your hand is S-M, the FK otherwise.

In actual use the UF[12] comes second. Just very convenient to carry for a 6" blade.

I appreciate the quick responses. The DEK 1 was not on my radar...but is now!

Thank you!

 

[Non.Nisi.Te]

FK2!

 

[Mendoman]

The DEK1 is my most carried and used CPK. Good luck in your search.

Another vote for Dek1, not to big for pocket carry, big enough to baton with well thought out grips.

I'm starting to regret trading my DEK1 for my FK2. I love the FK2, but it's too big for edc in the softly wheeping city. Don't want anyone to cry.

I'm surprised that more people aren't advocating for the DEK2.

For day in, day out, the DEK1.

 

[CoryMc]

Another vote here for the DEK1 and the UF2.

I carry an EDC2 almost daily since I got my first. The DEK1 carries about as easy as the EDC line.

I didn’t because the Dek2 is a beast compared to the Dek1, now if he had said a blade to you can rely on in the end times, the Dek2 would get my vote.

EDC2



I’ve been beating the shit out of this knife for years on end.
Edge needs a little time on the stones.

Easily the EDC1 gets the most carry time. It’s so capable for its small size. But wil upsize to a DEK1 or UF depending on how much blade I need.

 

[pbubsy]

FK1 for me. Been a fan since I first got one. They're all great, but that will likely always be my favorite.

 

[fatfrog]

DEK1 for sure! It would even welcome a 3" blade for more mini daily action.

 

[Burke]

Depends on what I’m doing. Everyday and I feel like carrying a fixed blade, DEK1 goes on my belt or in my pocket in a Joufuu sheath. Going for a hike, the HDFK goes in my backpack. Doing yard work, the LC. In terms of “number of things I’ve cut”, the LC probably takes the prize, in terms of most miles logged, the HDFK, and in terms of most time carried, the DEK1 wins.

Most days since it arrived I find an opportunity to put the DEK 2 in the pocket. I find it comforting like a talisman...that is capable of dispatching any task or miscreant that I should find in my path.

At 7 7/8 ounces, it is not for shrinking violets...but I don't even notice the weight hanging in / on the pocket.

The DEK 1 is a trifle longer I believe...and it, and the Reaper are the other two that find themselves in the rotation.

Depends on what I'm doing . . .

General EDC was my EDC1 until I got my DEK1, now it gets carried more unless small size is main priority. DEK1 does more and while larger, it doesn't seem much more in actual carry.
Hiking has been my FK2, but may switch to DEK 2 once it arrives (love the grips).
Backpacking/Camping it's the HDFK and FK2.

They are all fantastic, and you can't go wrong with any CPK. Just get them all!!! You'll always have the right tool for the job.
