Kershaw Dividend In gray with Damascus blade. For EDC use, it is at the right ratio of price point to quality, for me. A better knife I wouldn’t want to subject to EDC use, a cheaper knife will invariably feature lesser materials/ not USA made/ missing features (like the ability to move the clip for right handed tip down carry as I prefer or your choice of both tip up or left handed tip down options) .. . in short, I would neither trust nor find comfortable, a lesser folder for EDC use.

My everyday knife at the moment is a Swiss Army Classic.
It is quite sharp and has a little pair of scissors and a file that doubles as a screwdriver. Since it is so small and it is with my key chain I always have it with me which means it is an everyday carry already. I got mine as an advertising gimmick from a salesman. It might not be the most useful knife, but it is a knife and is always with me and that is the whole point of EDC.
My other option with a less than 3 inch blade would be a Case Sod Buster Junior. The handle is a bit more bulky but it is just large enough to be useful.

EDC – Every Day Carry, or Essential Daily Carry.
For just about every normal, average person on the planet, that would be a Swiss Army Knife.
Now, there are other knives I like, want, need, have or had, but while some were even useful at times, none were so useful that I’d actually need them on a daily basis. Indeed, few people would ever have need of them, except in certain circumstances (like if they were out bushcrafting or had to fix bayonets for a combat charge…

I am rather fond of my Benchmade CLA. It does, however, have a 3.15 inch blade. I also have a ProTech Godson with a blade just under 3 inches I rather like. Both have 154CM steel in the blade.
They’re also both automatics, so they may not be lawful wherever you live.
If this doesn’t suit, take a hard look at a Buck 112, the “folding hunter.” It’s a belt pouch knife, not a pocket clip. But I carried one for decades and never had a reason to regret it. Sometimes I carried two of them; one with a 40 degree bevel for skinning wire, and the other with a normal bevel so it could have a sharper edge.
Kershaw also makes some very fine assisted opening knives that are legal pretty much anywhere. Take a look at the “Onion series.” The Leek is a 3 incher. The “Scallion” comes in at 2.5 inches. I have two Scallions and they used to be my EDC for many years.

The Benchmade North Fork. At 2.97” blade length, with S30V steel, brown or black diamondwood scales, and a great blade shape with a small recurve in the middle, and the legendary axis lock, it is a great smaller folder to have as an EDC. The price point isn’t too hard on the wallet either.

This is a good question for me because I am a collector who owns many knives.The one that’s in my pocket right now fits the bill and it’s a Dervish Comanche Mid Tech which has a nice beefy blade which will handle any basic tasks required of a knife of that size.
