for the past 3 years or so ive EDC'd a Sog Flash II with a non-serrated blade. i also have a Kershaw Asset half serrated that i got for a killer deal for after the sog dies or gets lost, but ill probably try to trade it for another SOG because i love the way the blade locks.
I've been carrying an Emerson Mini-Commander for about 4 years now. Worth every penny, if you ask me. Totally utilitarian designed, locks open like a bank vault and easy one-handed opening with the thumb stud or the wave-thingy. Also takes and keeps a great edge, but takes some time to get sharp enough to shave...
My EDC is usally a SOG Flash 1 (you never even notice it's there, literally), Soyderco Tenacious or Spyderco Delica4 Full Flat Ground. I want to pick up a Delica with the wave feature though, it seems nice to have when you want quick open in an unassisted knife. I've also carried a Kershaw Blur and Byrd Cara Cara 2 on occasion.

For the quick open on an unassisted knife, if you carry a Spyderco knife tip up, you can simply attach a zip tie to the hole in the blade, then remove the excess "tail" from the zip tie, leaving a little plastic nub on the top edge of the blade that works as a pocket catch, just like the wave. I have a Cold Steel Ti-Lite that has a pocket catch feature, and while the knife itself isn't the most practical knife to carry, it is the coolest, easiest opening knife thanks to that pocket catch.
you just reminded me of a case knife i used to carry... i need to get another, it was about 2 and 3/4 in long and had a narrow blade. I just wish i hadn't lost it, last thing i can remember using it on was a stack of envelopes for 2 weeks worth of mail.
