Anyone else EDC more than one?

I carry a Vic Pioneer, Spartan, or cadet in conjunction with a manager on my keys. It's a perfect combo for me.
 
really depends, but very often two, sometimes more when I forget to dump my pockets. current work bag has a "rescue" modded skeletool (tip nipped on the blade) and a Vic Climber, scissors are very handy.

My EDC bag has an explorer in it at the moment, and I usually have something in my pocket, recently its been a Spy-dk, but before that a plus compact.

I'd rather carry two tools with a bit of overlap than one that does all. I see it as if something happens to one, at least I still have half my tools.
 
I have refined my daily carry down from a Cadet paired with a Classic to a small Tinker in my left front pocket and a Manager in my coin pocket. Sorry about the iffy photo.

You may have noticed i have done away with the key ring on the Tinker, it makes it more comfortable in the hand.

Interesting.
Cadet and Classic do it for me, always have both in my pocket.

Cheers!

Vic Atlas in my EDC bag
Leatherman Rebar on my EDC bag
Vic Pioneer / Electrician in my pocket
LM ST300 on my belt (frequently)
Vic Craftsman in my car (VW-Polo)
Vic Climber and LM Blast in my ammunition bag while on range
and, and ... and :D

... I think that´s all ...
 
Well I posted earlier that I started carrying a one handed Buck Spitfire along with my Vic Explorer Plus. After nearly a month the new wore off and am back to just my SAK. I gave 2 knife carry a shot and while a one hand folder is handy, it's just a pita having it clipped to my pocket. It's handy when I wanted it, but when not using it a knife clipped to my pocket just seems in the way. My trusty SAK is once again the sole knife in my pocket. The Buck Spitfire will be handy for other chores and outdoorsy stuff when I don't feel a need to put the Buck 110 on my belt.
It was fun while it lasted, but I guess I'm more of a 1 knife kind of guy.

How did you remove the key ring?

I was lucky enough to get a Small Tinker that lacks the key ring, but if I ever lose this particular knife and have to buy a new Small Tinker, I'd love to be able to remove the key ring myself.
 
I like to have a traditional knife and a SAK for the tools. Just finished up modding a Leatherman Squirt by taking out the blade and replacing it with more tools, maximizing the utility of it since I always have a regular pocket knife with me too. I added the 3d Phillips and the eyeglass driver. I'm loving it so far!

 
I'd like to see them drop the key ring eye that rips pockets on Vic SAKs on any model 91mm and up.

Does that phillips driver stick up when closed?

I carry a classic on my keys, and an executive in my pocket organizer. I love the executive, but like most I would prefer to make a few minor mods to my preference.

No, it fits just right.





I love the Executive too. That's all I carried for years before finding this place.

Is that phillips driver stock from a Juice, or did you have to grind it? I have a PS4 sitting NIB on a shelf waiting for me to make it useful.

It kills me that Leatherman can't make more knifeless MTs. Right now I carry a Style PS with a Victorinox Pioneer alongside whatever it is I'm carrying as a main cutter, so I'd obviously prefer to have more tools and the ability to leave my knives at home when needed.

Answering OP's question: In addition to my pocket carry above, I also have a Gerber Dime in my "EDC plus" bag along with a Piranha 2 (the new one with bit retention and 2D bits), which usually goes in my day bag where I also keep a Leatherman Wave + bit kit and an ESEE Izula. So I do generally have more than one MT, but they fill different roles—it's not a Juice in my pocket in case the Wave on my belt breaks, or anything like that.

I used a Dremel CAREFULLY.
 
Full-size MT and SAK everyday. Varries between Wave and MP600 BluntNose and Climber or Farmer SAK. And always a dedicated folder.
