How many knives do you have on you when you go out? I carry two going on to three. Mine include: CRKT M16-12Z, Kershaw Chive, and a soon-to-be-mine:) Spyderco Ladybug. Hope there's nothing wrong with carrying more than two:D . Ladybug and Chive go on my keychain and M16 goes in my pocket. I carry all of 'em because of steel quality/blade thickness/self-defense purposes. What are your reasons;) ?
 
I never go anywhere w/o my g-10 police. Its the only knife I carry, my only knife period.
I'm so used to having my knife with me now that I feel helpless when I don't have it, which is never :D
 
On my belt I wear my Pronghorn and in a sheath an Opinel or my Buck 110. In my pocket I carry a Moore Maker trapper.
 
No less than 2 folders, sometimes 3 folders plus a fixed blade depending of circumstances. I always carry a multitool also but, that's not really a knife.
 
Victorinox Swiss Army Manager (front watch pocket)

Spyderco Dragonfly (back right pocket)

Leatherman Wave (2 o'clock on belt)

In the near future, Dragonfly to Police, and possilby Leatherman Wave to PowerLock. And possibly add a Spyderco SS Cricket in front left pocket. And then...

As an Executive Security Agent I normally carry 4 knives....a Victorinox SwissChamp in a nylon belt pouch on my left hip right in front of a double mag holder for my Glock 36 that rides in an Andrews IWB rig just behind my right hip. Clipped to my right front pocket will be a small "Stars and Stripes" Sebenza and in the right outside pocket of my suit/sport coat will be an Al Mar SERE 2000 (occasionally displaced by my Strider GB). Clipped to my left inside coat pocket is a standard Mnandi. :-)

When I'm at work or church I usually carry one of three Spyderco, they are the SS/PE Dragonfly, Almite/PE Navigator or the Meerkat PE. For all other occasions it is between my SS/PE Delica, FRN/CE Delica, Leek PE, Scallion PE, Spyderco/Peter Herbst PE and I just added an SS/PE Rookie. I know that is a lot of knives some tip-up and some tip-down with other significant differences as well but I like and enjoy them all so what am I going to do?
 
I usually carry three. A Leatherman Squirt S4 (replaced Micra) and VIC Economy Tinker (replaced Soldier) are my always carry when out of the house. Then I also have a one hand opening folder of some sort.
 
Lately I have been carrying my Large Classic Sebenza, Benchmade Switchback (921), and Benchmade AFCK (806D2). Once I get the sheath for my Nimravus Cub from Eric at On/Scene Tactical, I think the Cub will replace the AFCK.

Plus, I always have a SOG rosscut on my keychain and occasionally have a SOG Powerlock and/or Leatherman Supertool 200 on my belt.
 
You guys will probably laugh at me like the guys at work do, but oh well. I am a police officer and on my duty belt I carry a Gerber multi-tool and a CRK&T Companion. The companion is what I call "option b" for those silly enough to grab at my gun. It sits on the left rear of my belt. I also carry a MT LCC clipped to my pocket. Some of the officers laugh about all the knifes but each has its purpose.

I'm not laughing...see my post above! :eek:

PCKS Buck 110(BG42)
Custom neck knife(damascus, Ti handles, drop point, 6" OAL)

Greetings All,

SERE 2K.
Calypso Jr. SE.
Micra on the key chain.
Mini UDT in the watchpocket.

Let them laugh! I would rather be prepared.

Only started full-time carrying recently, and only have one EDC: a Microtech LCC. In the future I may look for something else, but this one fills my needs just fine.
 
Always two and sometimes three. I always have a primary edc in my right front pocket clipped. This is a 3.5" to 4.0" single bladed knife and it rides by itself in that pocket. Currently that knife is a Mike Obenauf large model 2 framelock. In my left front pocket I always carry a smaller folder and in this case it is a Buck Prince. It comes in handy for small things or especially when I hear those words " Hey, let see your knife to cut this." I will on occasion carry a third folder in my left rear pocket or in the right hand side of a fleece vest, either way it rides comfortably and it is a Camillus Cuda MAXX. Another option will be the Protech TR3 SWAT I just traded for as that third carry.
 
The main knife changes between a couple of folders and fixed blades, depending. Besides that, I always have the necker, and the Vnox Classic on my keys. Usually have the LM ST200, but carry a Vnox Recruit when I don't since I seem to use screwdrivers alot.
 
I have about 35 that I choese from when it comes to carry (the rest are in the collection). Usually I carry my avalanche and my small swiss champ.
 
My work EDC carry(6);

Spyderco Military CE--Nylon sheath, R/H
Spyderco Lil' Temperance(TP)--R/F
Spyderco Blue Rescue SE--Nylon horizontal sheath L/H(work carry only)
Leatherman SuperTool 200--Nylon sheath R/H
Spyderco FRN Cricket SE and LM Micra--L/F
Spyderco Jester SE on keychain

Non work carry(5) consists of;

Military CE--IWB, R/RH
Lil' Temperance--R/F
SuperTool 200--R/H in sheath
Cricket SE, Micra--L/F
Jester SE on keychain

Better to have and not need, then to need and not have... :D ;)
 
Not counting multi-tools, my normal EDC load is three:
Camillus CUDA Maxx: 5-1/2" bowie
Darrel Ralph Mini-Maxx: 4" spearpoint recurve
Spyderco Mini Dyad: 2-1/4" sheepfoot serrated and 2-1/4" clip-point

Those gives me a great selection of blade types and lengths. :cool:
