How many blades do you carry?

[sunandsteel]

Every day at work, these two:

Like that brown and if I get the Delica it will be in brown. :thumbup:

 

[Old & In The Way]

Only EDC one knife, so probably either one or two blades, depending on which knife I'm carrying.

Reading through this thread, I was reminded of this....

 

[Will Power]

One me, usually one carbon knife and one stainless. If my bag is included, then many more.....Knives are like money say, you can't have too much/many

[1] - Question or seeking guidance from the moderators (whose job is really hard)... We know (and will defend) the Camper/Scout and SAK as traditional. Ditto the tiny lobster. Could you clarify where the line is between traditionals and what is allowable in terms of supporting tools that may have have equivalent tools to Scouts, SAKs and lobsters? It's not uncommon to see key chain style can openers and screw drivers. Also hard (for me) to talk about the pros and cons of lobsters without mentioning the Micra as an alternative. But now it's slippery slope into the Multitool (not general) subforum where it becomes reasonable to discuss my larger Leatherman compared to a larger SAK. At this point, I'm not feeling good about it.

Please note, this has nothing to do with thumbstuds, spidie holes and pocket clips, all of which is bad ju-ju and not why I come to the traditional forum. My sense is that key ring tools (like the Micra) in support of a traditional main carry is OK but best to stay away from discussing large multitools (even if carried along with a traditional main knife)?

I'd say that you are about right on the money.

Gary and I will usually turn a blind eye to keyring type implements when they are posted along with a traditional knife. It starts getting hard to ignore when the star of the post is a full size multi-tool.

It depends. On day of the week, and how you define carry.

On me? Today it was 6 blades on my person. Minimum tends to be 3 blades. Today was a Case Medium Stockman (3), Vic Cadet (1), Leatherman Squirt (1), and a small non-traditional locking folder (1).

 

[Coyote3855]

Leatherman Juice: 1
Spyderco Endura: 1
SAK Classic: 1

For a total of three today.

Thanks, John. Folks, we appreciate it when you remember this is the Traditional Forum.
This is the way to handle discussion of that non-traditional knife you are carrying.
