Been thinking about this, and going to have to revise my list (post #8). I simply took a pic of the knives currently on my night stand. Four of those five are very frequently carried, but the mini trapper was just there temporarily. It's a great knife, though. But if I really had to pick five from my collection, these would be the ones:
The trapper and GEC boys knife remain, but I would keep my stag barlow lambsfoot over my rosewood. I just carry the rosewood more. And though I carry my medium stockman a lot, I would rather keep my Schrade Scrimshaw stockman. It's a better size, and no blade rub. Trying to keep it pretty, though! And I GOTTA keep my Spanish navaja. It's my prettiest knife, made by a master craftsman. It's my Sunday go-to-meeting knife.
Now this list may change as my collection grows....
