EDC  varies with the activity.  Work is an office with a no knives rule so I carry small harmless things like an ALOX SAK money clip (small blade and scissors) and a Leatherman E4 (yeah, I follow the rules sooo well).   Around the house/town I like a larger SAK and my benchmade folders (benchmite, grip, mini-grip, mini-pika).  Usually a leatherman charge-TI nearby or at least an old super tool also.   To further corrupt a phrase - so many knives, so little time and not enough pockets.
For what it is worth I love my benchmade knives.  The Axis lock has been rock solid for me.
