Gerber 650. Never been a big knife carrier until about 5 years ago. I use this thing almost daily. Love it.
Hey PIMP, speaking of multi-tools. I had a leathermen in my 80. Wife got pulled for speeding the other day 
and went for the insurance papers in the center console. Cop saw the leathermen and about freaked out (it's in a case). Called for back up and had her out of the car. Back-up showed up, wife is in tears by this point. Backup was a friend of ours (kids friends parent actually). He explained that the leathermen is considered a weapon and she didn't tell them she had it (she didn't know what it was).
Needless to say, the leathermen is now in the garage (for now).
No Ticket.......
Wish I could cry and get out of tickets

I keep a Spyderco Delica clipped to my pocket most of the time. I use it at work a few times a day. Nice smaller knife thar holds it's edge for a long time.

I used to be able to carry a switchblade in uniform, even got a little card explaining in case I was questioned about it. I found a very sturdy (and expensive) German made switchblade in Amsterdam, coolest knife I've owned. One of our PJs tried to buy it from me when he went off to instruct full time, I mailed it to him after he left. He's supposed to be finding me another, but it's been years now.
Carried daily. Light, strong, stays sharp and has pocket clip (kinda hard on pockets though.)

I prefer the Victorinox Multi Tool. You can get them in stainless or black oxide. Super good engineering and super good quality. It is one of the only multi tools where you can use anything (except for the pliers) without folding it open.

The CRKT M16 was mentioned above. I have had one of these for a few years now. The big one is big. BUT, it fits perfectly in the side pocket of my painter's shorts and jeans. I have not found a quicker, better knife for the money. The flipper thing really gets it open in a hurry, it holds an edge, it looks great and works better. I have had other kinds but this is by far the best I have used...

Went out over the weekend and bought the WAVE. Thing kicks ass. Thanks for the recommend!
Use to carry BenchMades...great knives for the price. Been carring a Spyderco Jess Horn C34 for the last 3 years and love it. Thin, light , solid and sharp as hell.
A Smith&Wesson Homeland Security series(pocket knife). Small and compact but sturdy and as sharp as i need it to be.
I know you already went and bought a wave but when you get tired of lugging that thing around get a benchmade. I carry a 940 Osborne daily and after a couple years now I would never want to be separated from it.

I personaly would recomend all benchmade knives. There automatics are really sweet if i had to have a diffrent knife I would probably get the pardue 3550 auto.

I'm with Crusher on the Gerber, I got one for christmas from my uncle, served well as my hunting/deer skinnin knife. I've got some cheap $30 half serrated one hand opener that I carry wheelin just to have.
I've got an Emerson Police edition Sark I carry daily. I also have a Leatherman Wave for 'just-in-case' stuff. I also have a Emerson Le Griff. Pretty fancy...yes. But they work for me when I need them.
