YOU CARRY ONE ALWAYS AND WONDER HOW ANYONE CAN GET THROUGH A DAY WITHOUT ONE. Often, an everyday carry knife is a tool so versatile that it could be made to serve well in most any of the roles listed in this issue. From tactical to hunting and fishing to survival to food prep, these knives are called on to do it all because they’re the ones close at hand all the time. Open a package, clip a coupon, cut a rope, fend off an attacker, free someone trapped in a vehicle, or slice some meat and cheese for your lunch. Whether you choose one that’s long and sleek, wide and robust, or small enough to slip in a vest pocket, these are the knives that provide the most value because you use them so often.
