How many knives do you EDC?

I'm slacking, I usually just carry my PM2 and sometimes a SAK. Stopped carrying the BK11 when I got the PM2
 
Leatherman mini as keychain, leatherman juice in a nylon sheath in belt, and a manix xl 2 in backpocket. That's my minimum.
Above those, a fixed blade wich would rotate as the tasks of the day do.
lately I have settle on a damascus carbon steel with ebony handle wich I had custom made, 5 inches blade, with a classic drop point style. It's a great slicer, light weight, and a looker.
 
Technically 2-3, because I always have a Cardsharp 2 in my wallet. I rarely use it. Then I typically have a Cadet on me which gets the most work. I will occasionally supplement it with a one handed knife. Usually a Leek.
 
I've only been EDC'ing more than one knife for the last couple years. For ever it was just a single cheap folder. Then I got a BM Barrage. It was all I ever needed for several years. Then I got a SAK keychain Clasic knife as a gift, then a SAK Huntsman. About that time I got my CHL and added a small TDI for obvious reasons. Then I discovered the wider world of knives and thought I'd experiment with a BK14 in the mix. In the meanwhile I decided I wanted to replace my combo edge Barrage with a Spyderco. My present EDC consists of BK14, small serrated TDI, Endura 4 FFG, SAK Hunter and Classic. I reckon the Classic shouldn't count, so four knives for EDC. The BK14 either rides on the belt with a TDI belt clip or scout carry with soft loops.
 
Leatherman Wave for EDC community. Leatherman Wave and BK2 for field carry such as hiking, camping, hunting. Leatherman Wave, BK2, and Mora Heavy Duty MG if I'm feeling like someone might forget to bring their own knife lol.
 
True EDC: I carry a BK11 on my neck, a KaBar Dozier Phat Bob in my pocket, as well as a small cape skinner from TKS and a Gerber Suspension multi tool plus a small CREE led flashlight in my bag.

If I'm in the woods: BK2 plus the above. (My buddy keeps trying to sell me on buying a 'bigger' knife than the BK2 but I just can't see anything being tougher or more suited to working in the woods)
 
Most common EDC. This one is pure Prac Tac.

At least two on me, SAK Cadet and either my BK 14 or 11. Outdoors either my BK 10 or 15.
 
I started carrying this little guy. Almost disappears in the pocket and a strong clip. Standard screw driver on the pommel and bottle opener on the spine.
Sharp as laser and a nice stout blade. I've been pretty happy with it! This little guy rides in whatever pocket is handy on a daily basis and my BK2 is on the hip whenever in the bush.

I work in an office (accountant) so I don't use my knives on my main job (except to open packages, usually stuff that I don't want my wife to see, like watches and more knives :p)

Everyday I carry:

SAK Rally on car keys
Leatherman Wave with bits on my briefcase / backpack
Boker Subcom Titan Ti on my briefcase / backpack
And one of my folders on me, IWB style usually at 1 o'clock (ZT 0566, mini Grip, Cryo, Spyderco Chaparral, etc).

So... three or four if you include the multitool.

I personally carry my BM mini griptilian in my left pocket, my Gerber Diesel in my back left pocket, and my Boker Magnum Escape on the inside of my jeans on my right hip.
 
Right now it's a folding razor in my change pocket, eureka jack knife in my front pocket, buck bantam BLW in clipped to my back right pocket, and a little paratrooper knife in my wallet, wish I still had my MT on me
 
Leatherman Micra and RAT II in left pocket. UtilitacII in right pocket and Mora Heavy Duty MG on right hip. Leatherman Surge in my murse.
 
It depends on what I'm doing that particular day. If I'm just working or going to class, I just drop my Opinel #8 in my pocket and have a SAK Tinker (can't remember if it's a tinker or not). If I'm going out for a hike or to work at some of our land or hunt, I'll put my bk15 on my hip, an Izula 2 around my neck, and said SAK.
