I would like my benchmade a lot better if it was 1095 high carbon steel or 12c27 stainless steel. I am not a fan of the so called super steels. For my use a knife steel has to balance edge holding and ease of sharpening. I have a mini griptillion I like the design. I don't like to have to dig out my diamond sharpeners to sharpen it in a reasonable time.
What is your EDC knife?

It’s probably going to be this one for a while, small fixed blade I finished yesterday.
VERY nicely done! Is that a Kydex holster? Did you happen to make them?
Thank you! Appreciate that. It is kydex and I made it. Did a couple yesterday, the first came out ugly but serviceable and this one came out just a little better. Pic of the first one, it’s also the first knife I made.
I'm trying to find the pocket clip for my safety orange Spyderco Dragonfly so I can start carrying it again.
If you don’t find it call Spyderco. They don’t charge much for the replay and shipping.
+1 for the Super Tinker. Been carrying one for many years.
I carry a SOG Powerlock multitool. Over ten years old and still holds up great.
Camillus HEAT, the first version. Assisted flipper (not my pic). Zytel handle, opens quick.
Magnum pocket Kukri today, highly impractical, but I love it anyway, yes I am shallow 
I work out of a home office (even before Covid), so I have lots and lots of knives nearby. In my pocket at the moment is a Spyderco Dragonfly II in ZDP 189. In my office desk drawer is a Kershaw Ken Onion Whirlwind. In my closet, cars and tackle boxes are another 2 dozen pocket knifes and half a dozen fixed blades
Sog Flare. Very nice for EDC and the blade stays sharp!
My Spyderco Delica 4 is in up in the rotation this week.
And since I like to lounge around the house most evenings in my PJs, I slip this little Byrd Robin 2 into the pocket.

Off topic, but anyone had experience with knives with D2 tool steel blades? I really like the look of a Masarin scout, but I'm lazy when it comes to blade maintenance. Will D2 tarnish and rust easily during normal use

EDC knives vary ... today, it’s a pre-turn ‘o the century CPM440V Spyderco Military

Remember to forget me!
More stain resistant than plain carbon, but far from stainless. Yes it will tarnish and rust depending how/where it's used. It's also a swine to put a decent edge on. I only have one, and would never buy another.
Thanks for that I will steer clear then.
This was a late Christmas gift. A Harnds Warrior, and it is a beast. Think Buck 110, Old Timer 7OT or Uncle Henry Papa Bear. It is heavy! A flipper, it is a liner lock. Built like a tank, a few passes on the Norton India and it's ready for the hip. Anyone else familiar with Harnds?
