I love my Gerber....my favorite.
Back in this thread ( https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/show-off-your-every-day-carry.177/page-2#post-9640 ), I showed my Gerber Crucial multitool (swap-out with a Leatherman Freestyle CX during the workdays) and Spyderco Waved Delica.
I've had the Crucial since early 2012, and the Leatherman close to a year longer than that. Both are well-loved and have served be well in many daily tasks, both routine and unexpected.
I've carried the Delica for the last 7+ years. I'd like a fixed-blade or even a larger folder, but Ohio's patchwork knife-laws are a nightmare, and this keeps me on the good side of it. Waving the folder is something that I've been used to since I started fancying Emersons in the early-oughts, and I've been able to validate technique in a few integrated combatives classes in that time. The Delica replaced an old insignia'ed Terzuola Starmate from c.2000, which I ghetto-(zip-tie)-Waved and still occasionally carry -that it's so thin and light makes it perfect for slipping into even the thinnest dress-pants pocket, staged and fully hidden from view inside a DeSantis MagPacker- which was my EDC counterpart to an old PE Ti C46 Lum Tanto which I'd also ghett-Waved and used in a number of knife classes for live-cutting.
The form-factor of the Delica -small, light, and unobtrusive- combined with the availability of a trainer and relatively low cost makes it almost the perfect EDC for me.
I've yet to be tempted to replace it.

I carry a CRKT Radic with a sheep's foot blade and usually an opinel. Depends on what I'm doing. That opi is for game, fish and other fine carving tasks

Nice blade. Personally I think a warncliff blade is a better choice for an EDC than the tanto style so many carry.
