2, a REKAT sifu to stay out of sight, a tiny trapper with fancy scales to show everyone and clean fingernails.

 

[Jehster]

2 folders clipped in my front pockets: BM Axis, and a Spyderco Delica, which I figure is a little less scary and I'm willing to loan out. Also have a Leatherman Micra on my keychain. I always have my Leatherman Wave in my bag, which I'm rarely without, but I don't carry it on my belt much anymore.

 

[alasome]

It depends on the number of pockets I have. A minimum of ~6 up to maybe 14; if I have enough pockets (and can keep my pants up !!)

[edrozen]

Most of the time ONE worker. BM ascent or CS Large Clip point Voyager or Spyerco progrip or Gerber EZ out or SOG Vision depending on what I feel like. (I use leave the SOG for after hours only for convenience/ self-defense) I used to use a PECK all the time, now I don't. Sometime I carry a kneck knife also, it depends on the direction of the wind that day. And my Victorinox with the pen always stays in my car. Very Handy!!

 

[Jeff Pelz]

I carry just one, a emerson raven which has served me well.

[Pelle]

2-4 of them.
Spydie Endura & Al Mar Denali at work.
Sometimes backed up by a REKAT Pioneer and/or Al Mar SERE/Attack.
Off work it´s usually the Denali that rides my pocket.

 

[fudo]

2. One folder clipped in each boot.

 

[HJK]

Usually 2: one with my keys and one larger one selected for the occasion.

 

[D Juvet]

1 Spyderco everyday. 3-4 on horseback, Spyderco, Leatherman Wave, Fixed blade, Woodsmans friend (till I get my Khukuri)

 

[Royo]

I usually carry two. A Spyderco Wayne Goddard lightweight in the left front pocket and an Emerson CQC-7a in the right when I am off duty. On duty I carry the same Spyderco in my left front pocket and an Emerson Raven clippoint in the pocket of my body armor. When I worked as a Narc I had one Newt Livesay's SOPs around my neck when being discreet was a virtue. Yes and I had a gun too.

[gadgetman]

Four usually. To answer why more than 1 blade:

At work:
-Mini AFCK for general stuff
-Calypso Jr Ltwt. for the razor edge
-Military for tasks requiring a longer blade
-SAK Manager or Manager 2 for the small phillips, scissors, nail file, tweezers, and toothpick.

Off work:
-Calypso Jr Ltwt.
-Military because I like it so much
-SAK Manager (or Manager 2)
-Starmate for the thicker blade

sometimes add one or more of the following:
-Dyad Jr (Micarta) for the serrated edge and the more "civilized" blades.
-Rescue Jr. for the serrated blade, but I've never needed it.
-AFCK for another large blade
-SS Dragonfly if I need one that's flat
-Dozier Slim outdoorsman when I can hide it well. It's new.
-Camillus CQB1 outdoors because it's new too.

 

[KODB]

Usually a single small to medium MD fixed blade.

To Tom Mayo: gorgeous folder, nice work man.

 

[Blade]

Generally two -- four less than Blades above -- but my usual load includes a Sifu and Commander. (and No, I don't use them to open any STINKING boxes!
