I am so much a multi-blade guy. Unless weight is a critical factor (not often) I like at least two blades. The stockman is my favorite pattern, but lately have been using more 2-blade knives with one straight-edge, and one bellied-edge, hence "Dual-edged" knives. I prefer the clip main with coping secondary, but have several other combos.

Please show and discuss your favorites; here are some of mine.

Carbon Steel: NF #92, NF #77, NF #86

Stainless Steel: Queen EJ, Case mini WT, Buck BF Double-end Jack, Case WT

The Buck 305 lancer is one of my all time favorite knives.


I enjoy it's 700 series cousin, the 705 pony as well.

Another one of my all time favorite knives is my modified 62032 Texas Jack .


If Case ever makes this I'll buy one in a heartbeat, literally all they have to do is leave the spey off the 63032 stockman and change the model number on the sheeps foot blade.

I always try to carry a knife, or enough knives, to give me one straight edge, and one edge with some belly. The combo seems to cover most of my daily knife needs.
Here's 2 multi blades that meet this requirement for me. I like the smaller Wharncliffe secondary. A spear or clip for the main, either is OK. I rarely carry a knife with more than 2 blades. I do almost always carry multiple knives.

I thought you meant semi-serrated.
Yeah, one straight and one curved is way too rare.

I didn't take to this one like I expected to because what's the point of leaving out the spay?

I have no need for the spey myself, and a serpentine Jack with sheeps foot secondary is about my ideal pattern for a smaller/ medium-ish knife.
 
A Clip/Coping combo is perfect.
One straight, and one belly... one long and one short.
I'm not fond of both blades being long, like in a typical Trapper.
I don't have Clip/Coping combos (wish I did) but find a Clip/Pen to be almost as good.
Typically on a small pen blade, the blade is narrower than a spear and can perform piercing and ripping tasks with ease.

I have many Clip/Pen combos, this is the picture that's available on my computer right now...
 
Only two blade knives I have are Barlows with clip point main, and pee secondary.
Canoes and sunfish with spear point primary and pen secondary (tho admittedly the "pen" secondary on the sunfish could pass for a spear point on say a Barlow.)
Trapper's with clip point and large Spey,
A few moose pattern with clip point, and a Spey (with extra belly) or spear point secondary
Pair of slipjoint folding hunter with standard clip point and drop point blades.
Oh, and one advert pen knife with large and small pen blade, and I believe it was a "free gift" left in the glovebox of a new car, with clip point main and cap lifter/screwdriver secondary. (or it might be a bail-less "boys knife" someone bought at the local 5 and Dime or general store or gas station.)

I usually carry a stockman, which gives me a clip point, straight edge, (ither a sheepsfoot or Wharncliffe), and a Spey blade, all in one handle, plus I have a scout/camp/demo knife with a spear point (and a few handy tools, like a punch and can opener), and a 3.9 ~ 4 inch drop point fixed blade within reach.
