I would venture a guess and say that a lot of the folks that read this forum have a blade in their pocket most of the time. So what is it that's in your pocket?
Me, if I have pants on I'm more likely than not to have my KA-BAR MULE and a Leatherman Wave.
SOG PE II. It's a good knife but a bit big for daily carry. I'd put a picture of it on here but I'm a complete computer fucktard.

Simple, strong, well made knife with a 154CM blade. Not the Tactical type... but I rotate my blades around. Yesterday it was my Columbia River "My Tighe". Tomorrow it will probably be my modified AK-47 from Cold Steel... but this Leatherman is what I'm rolling with at the momement.
I have the 502x that I use to carry, but I like having the nice MULE blade and all the tools that the Wave has. The leatherman lock back is a jack of all trades and master of none, since I had some spare pocket space I carry both.
It's not in my pocket but that's a technicality.
A Camillus Tango-Lima-Two-Niner
Third in a series I've used since 1974. I lost the second one.
But Camillus is now tits-up.
Alas
I've not seen the Camillus you mention, but I have seen a couple others that were quite nice. (Had to chuckle at that screen name)
CRKT Bear Claw... those are very good defensive blades. Unfortunately they are not very good at much else other than opening the post.
I don't like knives that curve the wrong way. Like the Spyderco Harpy. There was a time when I thought they were the bee's knees... but then a realized that the lack of actual utility was a hinderance.
Of course, Khorn, you living in the asshole of the nation and you need a serious defensive tool... so for you it's great.
I like knives that have a bit of a belly to the blade. I find that shape to be much more usefull for most tasks. During a slice it keeps the cutting edge on the matterial longer.
Don't really like Tanto blades either, for the same reasons.
The TL29 is nothing more than the military electrician's knife. Called the signal corps knife in the first war.
The 1974 original is to the right. The one on the left is presently filling the billet.
The one in the middle - it's my bench knife. Probably used more than any others I have but not very sexy.
I also snagged a WW2 vintage TL29 from Utiica (wood scales).
Notice the rust on all three blades.
Carbon steel - real steel.
