My first year because I just can't do a top 10 favorites list. They're all number 1 in different ways! Instead, here is a top 10 most carried in 2016 list, in no particular order:

PM2 CTS-204P
Military CPM-Cruwear
PM2 CPM-M4
Dragonfly HAP40
Delica 4 Spyderedge stainless
Foundry
PM2 Orange & black CTS-XHP
Mantra 1
PM2 CTS-20CP
Native 1 CTS-XHP

Perhaps I'll start actually tracking this...as best I can. Could be interesting.

Hmm, it was a good year! I've actually had a couple of ongoing love affairs with some of my 2016 acquisitions. Here's my current top 10.

1. Hap-40 Stretch
2. Cruwear Military
3. Hap-40 Delica
4. Spydiechef
5. Pacific Salt (big surprise :rolleyes: )
6. "Wharnified" Atlantic Salt
7. Jade M4 Paramilitary
8. Cruwear Paramilitary
9. Southfork
10. 52100 Military
11. Almost forgot...Mantra 1!!

The first two on the list saw 90% of my EDC carry and continue to battle it out for pocket time.

Mantra
Delica
Sage 1
Sage 2
Sage 5
Paramilitary 2 Cruwear

I really need a top 14 or 15. Manix 2 LW saw a lot of pocket time and use in 2016 as did several others.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
