How many knives do you carry at a time?

[admslc]

3-4 usually. Small keychain Swiss Army knife, main EDC blade, backup in EDC bag and my Multi-Tool.

I'm almost embarrassed to say three. I either have a Mini-Grip, Buck 501 or 500 clipped or in a belt pouch, a little Vic Ambassador in my pocket (for the other tools), and a Vic Classic rides on my keychain. The thing is, I like to have a little larger blade just because but the knife I use 99% of the time is the little Ambassador which has a small blade, nailfile, scissors, tweezers, and toothpick.

I have assorted others in my vehicle (I do SAR so ride with rescue gear) including a Fallkniven F1, Buck 119, a couple Farmers and OHT's tucked into my various bags, and a large SAK in the door pocket. Also have a Leatherman Wave in the glovebox.

Still, of everything I own and carry, the Ambassador is what gets used the most.

Usually two but sometimes three. Always a CRKT PECK or KISS as a money clip and a folder. Pending on what I'm doing, I will carry small fixed blade too for when I don't want to muck up a folder. I even made a leather pocket holster for the fixed which also carries a Leatherman PST

I typically carry three: Vic Rambler on my keychain, slip-joint in my left front pocket, and a modern one-hander clipped in my right front pocket.

CRK Small Sebenza 21 Insingo, Queen #51T Mini Trapper, Victorinox Rambler

3, 1 primary folder for cutting tasks than 2 multi tools on the keychain which had the blade used only a handful of times over the past 5 years (less than 10). A victornox rambler and leatherman micra, it's a good combo that has allowed me to fix numerous small electronics and save my cell phone after it took a swim in a lake on a camping trip before.

I generally carry 1 folder or sak sometimes ill carry both but my friends make fun of me for carrying 1 knife... so dont want to encourage them haha.

 

[CSG]

Maybe it's time to get new friends.

 

[Ernie1980]

Usually two,one traditional and one locking folder

 

[FordFan]

For me it's just one and that one is always modern one handed opener of some type.

 

[DougB2]

I have a Leatherman Micra and some little, <2 1/2" folder in my pocket due to restrictions where I work. I also carry a first aid/boo boo kit in my backpack with a Micra and a Benchmade Rescue Hook. On weekends, I often have a folder of some kind as well as a Nite Ize pouch with a Leatherman Super Tool 300 and a Spyderco Rescue in orange zytel and ATS-55.

Most I ever carried at once was nine. It had to do with my wife's crazy ex and his gun collection and concealed carry permit, and my lack of same.

 

[CrialJLA]

I carry two knives most of the time.

SAK Cadet in a pocket on my wallet and a 3inch EDC blade.

 

[stormbird]

ER Dark Talon in right front pocket (sometimes I switch the ER with a CS Rajah 2). Benchmade Stryker in the left front pocket. Benchmade REI 530 in shirt pocket. CS Micro on my keychain. SAK Farmer in Maxpedition a round can pouch.

 

[Ares1307]

I carry two daily, a Spyderco Navaja in my Right Pocket and a Zero Tolerance 303 in my Left. If I'm working I only carry one, a Zero Tolerance 350. If I'm dressed up I only carry my Navaja. If I'm camping I carry my ZT 303 and my Spyderco Day Hiker and pack my ZT 350 just incase. I have three knives that see little use, a Kershaw Storm, Kershaw Speed Bump, and a Custom Recurved Fixed Blade; the folders don't see much use because they dull much faster than my users and my Custom is kind of heavy to wear with my gun.

 

[ninjahobo]

3 my mini barrage and 2 case trappers

 

[Grateful]

For awhile now it's been 3. A Victorinox Classic on my keyring. A Boker Barlow in my left front pocket. The right front pocket has a Spyderco Delica or Endura clipped to it. Recently the Endura has pretty much taken over that spot.

[whetrock]

I'm down to these two, most days, an SAK Recruit, and an Anza.

 

[jwk8150@gmail.com]

I usually carry two or three blades. One or two EDC utility/defensive blades and then a muliti-tool, but a small one.

Good combo i have found is Spyderco Endura, Kershaw Oso, and Leatherman Side-Clip. The three of them seem to cover everything I would need a knife for.

Endura is fully serrated, Oso is plain blade

 

[creekside]

Two.

First, I always carry a SAK. It's been a Hiker for years, but I recently started carrying a Camper.

Second, a small fixed blade (usually an Izula 2) or a folder with a clip.

If Victorinox would build a well designed one handed opener with a sub 3" blade and the same tools the Hiker/Camper have I would probably only carry one.

 

[JM2]

I generally carry a case copperlock and a leatherman original. Front, opposite pockets. Sometimes i'll carry an old timer stockman instead of the case.

I also carry a zippo, and a 1911A-1. also i carry, but not all the time, a spare magazine/surefire 6p in a carrier. I wear this to town or when its dark, but leave it off at work as it gets in my way too much.

At my low-paying job, one knife. Right now it's a Paramilitary 2 that I'm putting through the paces. It was a BM 943 before that, and a Microtech Ultratech before that. I rotate these out as the novelty wears off. The Ultratech (being a D/A OTF) was helluva fun for a while, but then I got bored with it. It just didn't have the "soul" that my 943 has.

At my real job (IP Law), I carry a BM 480-1 Shoki in my suit. It's invisible when it's not in use, and unthreatening when in sight.

In the woods I'll carry my Busse TGLB, and a BM 520 (that'll be replaced by the PM2 for a bit). I ALWAYS bring my BM 3550 along in my pack as a backup, but usually not on me anymore.
