To EDC or not to EDC

Hello. My name is Aimee. And I am a knife-virgin. A little background: I am a wife and mother. I enjoy sports (from football to fishing), camping/outdoors, reading, cooking, mathematics and artistic ventures. I am a computer gamer (you can thank my hubby for that little attribute). Kitchen gadgets and books easily distract me from productivity.  I am PC user with an iPhone. And my favorite food is gyoza. I am a fairly new member of the BladeHQ family. I didn’t know very much about knives before working here. I still don’t know enough. However over the past several months I have come to respect and love the intricacies of the knife world.
Now that you know me somewhat better, I need your help/advice/input. Everyone here at BladeHQ carries a knife or two. I think it is about time for me to join the ranks of EDC’ers.  I need an EDC that is secure and safe (remember I have four bright and inquisitive children), holds its edge, a strong clip and has some personality (I can be quite ‘girly’ at times and accessorizing is a must).
This is where you come in: What EDC do you recommend?
