How many knives in your EDC rotation?

Like many others my EDC rotation varies. I typically keep up to about a dozen knives in a dresser drawer and the remainder of my users in a safe. I will swap a few out occasionaly or maybe pull one from rotation when a new one arrives and I have a couple coming in this week so my lineup will change. I usually carry a folder or small fixed blade in my pocket and at least one other knife in my bag.

My rotation from last week included:
Fallkniven U2
Fallkniven WM1 3G
Spyderco Caly 3.5 Super Blue
Spyderco Manix 2 M4
Spyderco Para 2 S35VN
Spyderco Delica ZDP
Alan Davis Custom
Bark River Bravo Necker 3V
AG Russell Woodswalker
 
There are other knives id like to include when i lie to myself to justify keeping them but honestly here are my gotos

Skyline or mini grip- for general utility In town
Random leek- for heavier around town use
Crkt M16-14z - in the woods for a short hike ( not wilderness think nature trail in a large wooded park in the suburbs
Sak florist- when i'm wearing nice pants and a tie
Ox forge black auto knife- when i feel frisky

There are still a few niches to fill i have knives for them But no go-to knives ex. Wilderness?
 
3" XM-18 slicer
TAD Dauntless
Small Reg Sebenza
VECP
Les Voorhies Model 10
4 Mnandis
 
I'm kind of new so i only have three i switch between right now
Enlan EL-02
Kershaw Blur
Kershaw OD-2
 
Everything in the collection gets a bit of air occasionally but currently the Sebenzas (large and small), Burger EXK1s and LEXK, the Ritter / Wilkins Grips (both sizes), Strider PT and a Lum Large Chinese get a disproportionate amount of time out of the house. Add to that the Ladybug on my key ring goes everywhere unless I am flying without check-in.

Next week it may be completely different.

I don't typically "rotate" I carry the same one for extended periods of time,

-Endura 4 G-10 (5 years, Endura of some sort for 10)
-GEC #66
-Sog Powerlock

Although this week I am doing a knife a day deal where I carry a different Traditional each day, this is Case Sway Back Jack day.

Formerly some type of SnG, mostly the DGG. Now one of two VECPs always ride shotgun to the PPQ, until the XM arrives.

Nice knife! Makes me sorry that I sold mine. BTW, what is knot you used on your lanyard?

It's a lanyard knot. Took a few tries to figure out, but easy to do now. Better grip as it is larger than a standard knot.

There are two I carry every day, both are small keychain type knives: Boker Keycom in my pocket and a Victorinox Classic SD is in a mini-first aid kit which is usually in my bag.

Otherwise there are three others that get carried either on me or in the car: Kershaw Blur (car), Kershaw Scallion or Kershaw Chive (pocket).

So I guess my answer is 5. I have a few more but so far I haven't carried them with me.
 
First day since I received my Southard I left it home, I grabbed my Stretch instead. Maybe I will get back into a rotation, I have a Junior and Zulu coming plus my modded Chokwe coming back soon.
 
Bah a bunch, but the main ones from most carried to least
