My response is :- WHAT THE ...
I carry :-
1) LP Surefire Z2 Combatlight in a Kydex scabbard I made
2) Nokia mobile (must be some kind of uniform code here)
3) Wallet with Knifemaker's Guild, Knife Collectors' Society cards.
4) own personal EDC - 3-1/2inch mini Bowie with O-1 blade, Red Deer stag handle, QD paddle scabbard
5) car keys with Photon light, security keys for the hospital
6) Hospital pager
7) Another of my own mini knives I call ECT (Emergency Cutting tool) - O-1 steel 2inch blade skeletonised Red G-10 handles in Kydex sheath in vest pocket.
8) Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Covert combat folder in right trousers pocket.
9) 3 pens in my breast pocket (insert nerd jokes now. One is a nice looking but cheap pen made entirely of steel, for use as a makeshift Kubotan.
In the old days, add Glock 19 plus 1 spare 19rd (Glock 17 with Plus-2 attachment) magazine.
No joke this is my EDC. I always wear a vest to cover up everything, it changes the entire demeanour. I also wear my own custom made nylon suspenders to hold up the entire lot !
Cheers.

Well, I carry my keys, wallet, Fossil titanium watch and my Bob Dozier Straight Personal in a horizontal belt sheath. Sometimes added to that is either a Case Trapper in the rigth pocket or a Benchmade BM43 or BM46 in a G2 leather sheath. Not much compared to some of you, but it serves me pretty well. I would like to add a little BM31 in my pocket or around my neck sometime as well.

Do many of you rotate your "primary" knife daily or weekly, or even monthly? I know I do. I try to stay with the same action as much as I can because a radical change tends to throw me off a bit and I also try to stay with tip down carry as 9/10's of my knives are that way.
Where I was carrying the JW Smith Scimitar on Thursday, I now have a JW Smith large LS-1 Eighties model which has a blade that is a pure sticker. Imagine the Al Mar Shrike blade without the false edge, a bit wider, and thicker and you have the 80's blade. But the action, mode of carry, and tip down are all the same.
Anyone else rotate this way?

Not anymore. I used to rotate somewhere between weekly and monthly, but since I got my Darrel Ralph Mini-Maxx it has not left my side.
I agree with you about sticking with a similar mechanism when trading out knives. I don't rotate, but I do reposition. The place I work has a 4" blade limit, so I can't carry my secondary EDC, a Camillus CUDA Maxx. :grumpy:
When at work my Mini-Maxx is clipped to my right pocket. The rest of the time my larger Maxx lives there and the Mini-Maxx moves to my left side. With that arrangement I never have to change my draw. I love having a matched set in different sizes.
