If we don't count SAKs, I've never EDCed a slipjoint. I use SAKs as backups and the three slipjoints I owned before friday (two Bökers with very bad stainless blades and a nice Laguiole) have never been able to get a spot in my EDC rotation.
Last week I saw a Case display at a local knife shop, Case knives are VERY rare down here in Argentina, most people (even knife people) have never heard about them. I fell in love with the nice looking handles and the shiny bolsters and bought a trapper and a stockman in stainless steel for myself and a CV trapper for my dad (he wanted a carbon steel folder for father's day).
I really like both knives, and while the stainless steel used by case is no match for S30V or 154CM I don't miss any of my tacticals at all.
