How many knives do you carry daily?

most of the time i'll carry just a folder combined with my multitool but there are some days where i will pair a smaller knife with a larger one to be more sheeple friendly
 
1) Gerber Bear Grylls Compact MT on key ring.
2) Vic Climber II on key ring.
3) A one handed clipped folder, usually a Spyderco of some sort.

I used to carry a single SAK or MT but I find that I need to adjust hose clamps quite often. So it helps having the screwdriver and pliers on separate tools for this reason.

ZT303
Spyderco Paramilitary
Hogue EX01 4"
SAK Rucksack.

Just one for me, mostly a large seb micarta. On dressed up occasions, a spyderco chaparral. In the garden, a dragonfly2 zdp.

Im looking at purchasing the squirt. Im hesitant because I dont know if it would be do bulky for putting it in my pocket. How does it work for you for EDC? Do you like it better than say a Swiss army knife with a good amount of tools?

Right now im trying to make the desicion of either buying a Swiss tinker or ranger vs the squirt.

I EDC the squirt on my keychain, have had it over a year most likely. It adds a good bit of bulk to my keys, but having pliers and several screwdrivers on me at all times is worth it. Size-wise, it's about the same as a small SAK, perhaps a bit thicker, but considering how often I use the pliers, it is much more useful to me than a SAK. Outstanding quality considering the price.

Also, in the spirit of the thread, in addition to the squirt, I carry a full-sized locking folder (BM 581 or 522) and occasionally an Opinel #8 for dedicated food duty.
 
2. A large frame lock folder and a small slip joint. Anything more, for me, is too heavy.
 
Two knives daily; a small one, and a big one. Also a Leatherman Juice S2 comes along.
Currently a Hammer Brand 2-bladed slipjoint, and a BM 275BKSN Adamas.
 
Usually 2, a medium-sized locking folder and a small classic slipjoint. Currently a Benchmade 950 and a GEC/Tidioute Conductor.
 
preferably a strong axis or triad folder, a fixed blade, and a sog powerlock. However due to legality reasons I drop the fixed for a second folder. That way I can have a primary for utility, and a secondary for sd.
 
Usually 3 - - Gerber Belt Buckle knife (old) = = small ss Buck 100 Anni. in change pocket = = and Para2 clipped in my right pocket.
 
There's an SAK knockoff on my key ring, and a Wenger SAK in my toiletry kit. There's a small Cabela's Leatherman in my truck's glove box. I always have a Buck 110 with me, and I'll have a larger fixed blade too if I'm going to either work or some outdoorsy activity.

So anywhere from 1 to 4.

Two.
An EDC folder (3-inch blade), the Al Mar Nomad.
A large SAK (Victorinox SwissChamp) in my belt pouch containing a mini medical kit.
 
It depends. At work, I have a Leatherman Blast and a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 or Kershaw Blur S30V. If I'm just going out, I take something small and light, like a Spyderco Dragonfly 2 or Delica 4.
 
Usually at work I carry a one handed opening folder, a Swisstool, and a Case large amber bone CV Stockman.

The folder changes fairly often, the stockman is with me pretty much everyday, and the Swisstool is with me anywhere a belt sheath doesnt look silly. Then I carry a SAK.

So, 3. Sometimes 4. I like knives.
 
I usually carry two knives. One large and one smaller. At the very least I will have a small SAK on my keychain along with my larger blade.
 
Two. One in my right front pocket. This one varies almost daily but it's usually a CRK Umnumzaan or a ZT 0551. The second is a small fixed blade neck knife made of S35VN steel by Paul Letourneau.
 
At any given time, 1-3.
Over the course of a day, 2-4.

A small, lightweight folder never leaves my pocket unless replaced with something larger.
In addition to the folder, a neck knife usually accompanies me on the daily dog walk.
When out and about, a multitool is added to the mix.
