OK, below you will find a picture of everything that was on me with the exception of my wallet which remains in my truck unless I'm going in a store and need to purchase something..

Can you see where I've been a little redundant?? I just cut down the sheath on my Izula I've been wearing it with regular sheath with no problems but I've been wanting to do this for a while now.. Next I will wrap it with a RB and have some goodies stuffed in there.. My hest is also sporting my Glock 26 in the handles:D

This actually is rather comfy as most everything is on my person not my pockets..

and yes I've used everything at one time or another. The skyline gets the most use as it's easy to deploy and is with me mostly at work, cant say enough good things about that little knife.. I'm considering a smaller fenix though for daytime, the ld20 is great defense tool in strobe mode if ever needed.
 
Usually, a wallet, keys (with Byrd Finch), data phone, watch, cigs/e-cigs, lighter, and my Endura wave (sometimes Delica Wave.)

I've got the LD10 and the brightness/strobe is still plenty bright for self defense or light/pistol use in a package half as small. I carry it when I go out at night and carry a Fenix L0D at work.

2 blades is the most I ever carry, lately at work I wear a flight suit and I carry a skeletool and a very small oldtimer single blade slipjoint. The slippie is used mostly to cut irish pennants off my flight suit since they seem to grow over night. Also I seem to love cross pens. This is my work setup.

In civilian clothes I carry a folder or the Hest, but I personally can't justify carrying both. I supplement that with a glock 19 in the winter or 27 in the summer. My knives aren't really for self defense other than maybe weapon retention, so one is normally enough for me. This is my usual plain clothes setup.

Hiking or outdoors activities, I bring a backup or a multitool.

(EDIT: for pics, cus who doesnt like pics)

Seems to me you could drop the HEST. You have a fixed blade, folder, multi, and keychain knife. Although, I understand carrying a knife, just because you like it. :thumbup:
 
My minimum is a SAK and another knife. I usually carry one knife clipped to each of my front pockets plus a SAK.

Sometimes, like yesterday, I can't decide what to carry and end up stashing 8 knives in different pockets. It's hard to choose between so many lovely knives. :)
 
Usually only one knife. OK, two if you count the one on the multi-tool that I never use. Suits me just fine - I've never felt the need to carry more. In fact, I kinda wonder why you do.
 
I usually settle for just 2, a SAK Cadet and a larger EDC blade.

However, including my fanny pack, I've had a Leatherman Juice w/ blade, SAK Spartan, CS Mini Tac Tanto, Gerber Paraframe in fanny pack, and CS Rajah III on me at one time before. I don't think I've ever carried more knives than that at one time out in public.

It's also not uncommon for me to have a CS Mini AK47, Endura FFG, and Cadet on me with the Juice nearby.
 
Kinda had four knives with me on campus today. ESEE Izula, Case Swayback Jack, Benchmade 580 and a Spyderco Bug. I had the Izula in my bag, the Case in RFP, 580 clipped to my RFP and the Bug on my key ring. The bug is for mail opening, the case is for food, the 580 is for everything else and I don't really know why I had the Izula with me.
 
Average day:

On my person: Small Sebenza (maybe a Mnandi too);
In my briefcase: Glock 26, BM-940, Leatherman Juice;
In my car: Glock 17 (w/ extra ammo), SOG Gov-Tac, SOG Battle Axe, CS Special Forces Shovel, Gerber Multitool, Buck Metro LED, BM-401, Cold Steel Koga, Mini Mag, Surefire G2.
 
I carry one and only one. At work I'll sometimes have a Gerber and a knife, but that's the closes I come to carrying two knives lately.
 
Usually just 2 blades on me. Either and Spyderco Native or Kershaw Storm clipped to my pocket and a SAK or multitool on my belt. I do have a Rat Izula in my carry bag.
 
I dont really understand why some people carry more than one knife, I just dont see what situation would call for it. I can understand say a pocket knife and a multi-tool or a fixed blade (I dont really understand why you would need it but I guess you can rationalize it.) What I dont get is why some people carry 2 or more folding knives. But thats just me, I understand everyone has their thing.

I can't drop the HEST it has me g26 hidden in the scales.. :rolleyes:

actually I rotate a folder, sometimes no folder, I haven't carried the hest in days matter of fact I've only been carrying one knife last week.. but for fun I'll try this out.. just cuz i can.:D

a multi tool and my izula and I'm set.. although my vic also has scissors on it as well so.. its completely redundant..
 
I usually have on me Spyderco Caly3 or SOG AEGIS + Leatherman Wave

I don't like using the knife on my Wave, so I usually have an EDC folder on me.

In my backpack though, I will have a SAK + another EDC capable knife. I've taken to carrying Becker BK14 fixed knife in a deep pocket in my pack in case something that my Caly3 cannot handle comes up.

I carry a Sig P220 and my CRKT Hissatsu folder or Benchmade 710 d2 wherever I go, no need for 2 knives and a flashlight and a multitool ect ect.

I think Im set for whatever comes my way. I shoot often, draw fast and double tap and Im as sharp as my knife.
 
Kershaw chill and a benchmade 740 on me almost all the time. But at work the benchmade is left in the truck
 
I usually just carry my pick of the day, and that is usually a buck mayo tnt, and a 4sevens preon. Other then that I have no use for another knife on me, and an occasion has yet to arrive where I need another knife. I have a hatchet and a fixed blade in the truck with a glock. But I only carry one knife around. I have a small sebenza on the way, and I have a feeling that will be the one on my person more then anything.
 
Can't bother with a pic. Normally at work (office) I carry just an SAK, generally my Wenger Evo these days (that replaced my alox electrician some time ago). Weekends it's usually a folder - s30v para now, previously Delica in stainless - and an SAK. If I'm going far I typically take along my Vic Spirit as well.
 
At least four without getting in the way-Buck Packlite skinner front left pocket, DPX HEST front right pocket, Victorinox Spartan, front right change pocket, Svord Peasant, back right pocket. I wouldn't know why you'd NEED to carry that much, but it certainly isn't difficult.
