I carry a Benchmade Model 100 River & Rescue (fixed blade) with a plain edge, but I have been thinking of switching to a Myerchin A508, which will save me the thickness of the handle scales and add a shackle opener and marline spike to boot. I'm not too thrilled about the serrated edge on the Myerchin, but serrations are good for line and webbing cuts.<br><br>Although the Benchmade 100 doesn't have a true sheepsfoot, its point isn't that dangerous. The Benchmade usually lives in my briefcase along with a Leatherman Wave.<br><br>I've discovered that for most EDC utility purposes, a Victorinox MiniChamp II covers most of my needs, plus most people don't seem to get too bothered by its size. If I really need a bigger knife for a utilitarian purpose occasionally, I'll risk the edge of my other EDC knife, a Gerber Harsey Air Ranger II.<br><br>With at least four EDC knives available, I can usually find the right blade for any particular task that arises.
