Though I have many more knives than these, here are my favorites for using and taking to work.

I just can’t decide some days which to take!  I mean, they are all great but definitely have different personalities...

Buck 110 LT
Victorinox Centurion
Spyderco Tenacious
Victorinox Pioneer X
Leatherman Crater C33 that had the blade mangled

Nice "problem" to have  :multi: :climber:

I'd go with the Pioneer X for sure.  Then for sure I'd carry the Crater since it can be beat on with no hesitation.  Make this your "dirty" do all blade.  The hard part is do you carry one more blade?  Then the following day or days see if something comes up where you'd like additional options.

But they are ALL so nice to carry!!!  LOL

I was planning to carry the Crater to work tomorrow. The Pioneer X is always clipped on the pocket of my lunchbox.

Probably drop the PX into my pocket and carry the Crater clipped to same pocket.

If it were me I'd probably toss in the Buck LT,  you know,  just because  :whistle:.   :rofl:  I'm able to reconcile having a 91mm on me at all times so I tend not to count it .   This leaves me with choosing a clean and dirty knife while my SAK is either or.

Do you have a five day work week? If so, assign each knife a definite designated carry day. If your work week differs, then add/subtract(based on practicality @ your job) and assign accordingly. :cheers:
Edit: I should note. I am not disciplined enough to accomplish this myself, but it was the only thing I could think of. :think:

All good ideas!

I have decided the Spydie is just to nice to beat it up at work. So I’ll carry it when not at work.

Work will be the PX and beat up Crater.

I’ll toss the Centurion into the center console of the truck for occasional use.

That leaves the 110 LT....

I’ll have to think about that one for awhile.

the decision is all yours you make,  :tu: but I've heard sooo many times how good the Tenacious as a working knife is, and how many folks started using it at work and soon discovered the marvels of the Spyderco brand, quickly becoming fans and devoted Spydernuts  :salute:

it's an inexpensive but impressive piece that performs so well that's the entry level knife of the company recommended to someone who wants to try out Spydies...if you want to get him hooked!  :D

First of all, how the heck did that happen to the Crater?

I'd probably pick the Crater for hard jobs. I often have several old traditional knives that are in similar condition that I use in a similar manner.

I bought the Crater that way from eBay.  Cheap. It was actually a C33TX.  I had a C33. So I swapped parts around and made one junk knife and one good knife.

I carry a Pioneer X every day for its awl, scissors and openers; I dont count it as carrying a knife although it has saved the day on some occasions.
And a one hand opening knife clipped in my pocket for easy access.

The PX and Tenacious is not much different from my EDC carry.

The PX and the beater Crater have been working well so far this week.

Thats good to hear the beater Crater is working out.  Not surprised as you were able to get it sharp.  No fears using it a little more harshly than other knives.

If I had your collection, i'd prefer carring the centurion as my primary choice, and the 110 LT (easy to replace if lost and/or damaged) as my secondary choice.

I do like carrying the Centurion. It would be my number 1 edc if it had scissors. Also if it were one hand opening and the liner lock was reversed to match most other knives.

I have a hard time closing the Centurion one handed. I did buy some brass rods and plan to swap in the blade from a one hand opening Sentinel I have. I just have not gotten brave enough to actually try it.
