Howdy...
I do not by any means want this to sound derogatory! I want to know why, however, a lot of people I have seen here at BFC carry multiple knives that are of similar size, shape and action....?
I see a lot of posts asking.. "what's in your pocket today?" and I enjoy seeing the results. But I have seen descriptions/lists and pictures of pockets full of three or four 3-5" folders! I don't get that.
I usually have a folder with a 3-4" blade, a pen, my keys (have a small SOG knife on it as well as a mag-lite), wallet and Zippo, smokes, and a Leatherman Wave on my belt. So.... technically I have five blades on me most of the time, but they are all very different.
Is there a rhyme or reason to carrrying several blades that are the same, except for 'cool factor'? I guess if I were an accomplished knife fighter and had to protect myself, Id like a few knives that were practically identical, one for each hand ya know? but I wouldn't know what the hell to do with a knife in each hand, I'd probably just stab myself while wiping my nose or something....
So...any ideas here? why a bunch of folders/fixed blades/whatever?

P.s. hope I don't have to use this new 'smilie' soon:footinmou
