What knives found their way the most in your pocket in 2023?

You can't trust any of these knives except for the cold steel for self-defense at the gravest moment
 
Cold Steel Mini Leatherneck hogged a lot of pocket time recently. Surprisingly good fixed blade. Hides in the pocket well, fits great in the hand despite the stubby handle.

Today it’s the Recon 1 tanto.

Others:
- Cold steel Code 4
- Voyager XL
- Rajah 3
- AK-47
- Spyderco Resilience
- Para 3

Fixed boys
- Recon Tanto
- SRK
- Real Steel Arbiter
- Kershaw Camp 10

I use some of them pretty hard, and nothing failed. Please let me know after how many years of hard use are they supposed to break, so I can sell them just before that. TIA.

 One self-defense situation and those linear locks can fail on you.
I only trust the cold steel.ldletuyy
 
Several of my most carrier I bought or traded for in August, but I carried them a lot.

First 8 months of 2023 most carried:

Spyderco PM2 S30V customized
Cheburkov Strizh
Biryukov #12
Demko ad20.5 3V customized
Heretic Manticore E
ZT 0095BLKS90
ZT 0470 anodized stars and stripes

Cheburkov Strizh
Seamus Nor'Easter
Heretic Medusa
PM2
Spyderco Southard customized
Spyderco Yojimbo 2 Cruwear customized
ZT 0095BLKS90

Today will be my 12th day in a row of carrying my new R&H Knives Tasca 2. This will be one of my most carried of 2024 I predict.

I don't plan on buying any folding knives in 2024. I am very content with what I have and I have many other demands for my money this year, specifically saving as much as possible so I can pay cash for a condo/townhome in early 2025, or at least enough to have a small mortgage.
 
The whole collection has been in my pockets throughout the year.

As for most, it’s a toss up between my Impinda and my strider PT.

My most carried and used EDC knives for 2023 were:

1. BK14 - out of 365 days, the small Becker was roughly 300 days in my pocket and used countless times.
2. Spyderco UKPK - A very practical and convenient cutting tool, sharp as a laser and incredibly easy to use.
3. A SAK of some sort - Scissors, tweezers, a saw and all the other tools that are just right for the job...
