Do you carry two (or more) SAK's at the same time?

I'm always carrying a classic, and often carry a cadet, pioneer rancher or tinker alongside it
 
Whenever I carry my juice s2, typically I carry a 2 blade traditional, but since I've been carrying the rambler much, I have tried to pair it with a number of tools, but all it lacks are pliers.

since none of my current MTs have multiple blades, I prefer to carry a second knife as a companion for a utility knife (letter opener, plastic cutter, etc) and a food prep (apple peeler, bread slicer, etc) knife. one combo that works well for that is a cadet and the juice s2. using the cadet for food and the juice for utility.

Multi-tool and SAK combos welcome also!

My daily carry is a Leatherman Juice XE6 (belt) and a Victorinox Manager (pocket).

The Juice XE6 is the smallest multitool that I know of which packs the full complement of tools.

The Manager adds very precise scissors (the Juice has larger scissors), emergency pen, tweezers, etc. Same size as the tiny Classic, but a little thicker.

So for me, this is the "best" combo when factoring size and weight into the equation.

I have a small alox model (for the life of me can't remember the model name) on my keychain and ALWAYS have the Vic Climber in my RR pocket riding next to my wallet.
 
I just picked up a Victorinox Classic today, so that will be riding on my keys, which go with me everywhere. Also in my pocket, rides a Vic Sportsman II attached by a lanyard to a Maglite Solitaire. This is in addition to whatever other blade(s) I clip to my pockets that day.

My theory is that I can have different layers of EDC...the keychain has a small Swisstech flashlight on it, so if I just need to run to the store or down the road for something, my keys are all I need. Classic covers the knife, and then there's the light. To step it up, I can throw the Sportsman and Maglite combo in my pocket. i find that's also a nice, light combo to have on the odd occasion that I'm wearing gym shorts, instead of something with a belt. Finally, (and this is usually the 'level' to which I am equipped every day), in addition to the Classic, Sportsman, and small lights, go one or two larger folding knives, and a Mini AA Maglite if need be at night.

That means that odds are you'll find me with 3-4 different knives, and at least 2 flashlights on an average day. Oh well...redundancy is nice, eh?
 
I always carry my blue Victorinox Star of David Classic with my keys. I now also carry a red alox Farmer front left pocket under my wallet. Multitool in whatever gear bag if I'm carrying one, usually a Skeletool.

If I were to carry just one, it would be a Victorinox Ranger: scissors, file, saw, and all the usual other tools.
 
i keep a recruit on my keys. i mostly use it for the bottle opener and screwdrivers. when i'm out hiking or in the woods i take my champ plus, but that might get replaced with a fieldmaster i just got.
 
I have been carrying a Wenger tradesman along with a Victorinox farmer on and off for the last couple of months or so. They really make a pretty good pair and cover all the 'pocket knife' bases for me day to day.
I like that this pair gives me two different types of can opener as well as to different awl designs. And all the tools that I want for edc are contained in them.
I like Wenger's little pliers better than Vics. so the tradesman is a plus there tho I will admit that I like the Victorinox scissors better. Still the Wenger scissors are ok and meet my needs.

Yep, a Farmer with scissors would be my perfect SAK, so I carry my Farmer and Alox Rambler together. Works pretty well.
 
Used to EDC a Wenger SI with a Vic classic on the keychain until my daughter sweet-talked me out of my classic. Miss that little knife, think I'll find a new one this weekend.:cool:
 
I have a Leatherman Wave (original, 10 years old) + Victorinox Cybertool 34 (10+ years old)

The Wave has a saw, file & serrated blade which the Cybertool does not. It also has better scissors and a much better pair of pliers. The plain edge blade has a sharp pointy tip.

The Cybertool has a far better screwdriver setup and the can opener works a lot better. It also has a parcel hook, corkscrew, awl, tweezers, pen, toothpick and more NKP* friendly small blade.

So, yeah, these two EDC tools each have their advantages so I use whichever tool best suits the task at hand. I have heard bad things about the newer LM Wave, so if I had to replace mine I'd probably go with a Swisstool.

Farmer with Vic classic in my pocket right now. The Classic is THE best portable grooming device there is.
 
Yes,I carry a Vic Huntsman or Climber(rotate)in a belt sheath.Plus,I always have my Vic Classic and Rambler on my Keychain.Along with a traditional slipjoint of some kind in my jeans pocket,it's pretty much what I carry daily.
 
A Classic is always on my keyring. During the work day I carry an OH Trekker. Nights and weekends I carry either my Craftsman or my Super Tinker. Either of these 3 SAK's combined with the Classic gets me through the day or at least until I can get to my truck toolbox or workshop.
