Alternate Everyday Knives?

Ok, a question for all of you fine gentlemen...

How many of you, like women, have multiple everyday carry knives that you can pick and choose from each morning?
"Well, its the spyderco with the high tops, the emerson with the low tops, or the sebenza with the penny loafers, hmmm... 'Honey, say, what do you think!'"

But in all seriousness, I ask this as my folder collection grows. I have my mini cqc, I have acquired a Commander, a tiny gerber for situations where the Emersons are just too big, and I'm starting to lust for a Chris Reeve knife, plus a mini-commander.

Does anybody out there have a knife for each day of the week, different situations, or for what they are wearing for the day?

I'd like to hear some good answers on this.
 
I'm in the process of re-building my "collection". My all the time EDC is a Victorinox Settler. At times I may also be carrying a CRK Mnandi or Case mini Copperlock. I have a Laguiole due in today. If it passes my inspection, it will be added to the line up. I hope to add a WH T-10 Lancet by year's end.

Guilty as charged.

Each morning I generally look at a shelf that contains a bunch of better production folders. If I'm dressing for business, it's a Buck 172 Mayo, or a Benchmade 941 limited edition variant for my primary blade and a SAK Cybertool 29. In more casual wear where the size of the knife is less important it's a Microtech Socom Elite or Amphibian or perhaps an Al Mar Shrike or SERE 2000 and another SAK.

If I'm getting real dressy, I'll take out a William Henry T10 CF or one of the few customs I have.

During the week when I go to work, I take a small fixed blade.. and over the weekend I carry a folder.
 
Well, the answer would be yes... and no. Every day I open the drawer with my knives (not so many, maybe 20 pcs.) and I look for a particular one to match my clothing and mood. I usually take one or two out of their boxes, open and close them a few times... and I put them back. :rolleyes:
Guess I became much too attached of my good old Spyderco Delica. It never leaves IWB.
 
Not necessarily a rotation, but do change my carry to fit the conditions. Large Sebenza almost daily but will throw in a MT mini SE or WH carbon fiber T-12 instead for a more discreet carry. BM 730 goes in my pocket when I get home.
 
I used to pick between a large sebbie, a small sebbie, and a Brian Tighe My Tighe daily but since I got my Rick Hinderer Firetac I don't look at the sebbies anymore for the most part but will still alternate with the My Tighe. I've got a My Tighe coming with the clip on the other end that will replace the stock My Tighe and be used more than the current one. Sweet.
I do still pick something different daily as far as my multitool and flashlights though. Most of the time my LM Wave and Surefire E2e win though.
The only constant is the SAK Climber that I ALWAYS have.

later,

Oily
 
I'm always alternating knives. Generally I'm carrying a BM910, a Schrade on my car keys, LM Micra on my house keys and a backup SAK knockoff in my glove/mask pouch. When the mood hits me right I carry a BM42. When I'm lifeguarding I don't have a knife, although I'm going to add a Spyderco Salt into that rotation soon. When I'm dressed up I usually leave the big knives in the car and drop to the black chrome Chive, and when it's all-out black tie I'm carrying one of my three customs - one pearl, one exoting leather of some sort, and one titanium. .
 
I carry my BM710HSSR 99.9% of the time. In addition I usually have a SAK with me and lately it's been the new Huntsman with the LED light. I have a drawer full of other knives, but they mostly stay in there. Some of the knives I can't bring myself to mess up yet. :) The BM710HSSR is a fairly ugly knife, even when new out of the box, so I didn't mind using it. Out of all my folders I find it the most functional and one of the most sturdy. So it's been my primary EDC for over 3 years now and it's been flawless.
