Deal! Anybody with "the sickness" hop onboard.

I said in November "I would be good for a long time" after I got my 0562. Seeing that dealer exclusive on the ZT 0770cfM4 I've started itching again..... :(
It hasn't started haunting my dreams yet but I reckon it will be soon.
 
Carrying a Spyderco PM2, Benchade MG, Case Mini-Trapper, and a Leatherman Squirt. Plus my CCW. A man can never had to many blades on him.....
 
Always at least three, belt, boot, neck knife. I got attacked by a pit bull once and only had my one belt knife on and he got my draw arm, won't happen again, I make sure I can reach a knife with both hands at all times now.
 
Usually 2-3. Large in my right front, smaller in my left rear, and i always have a victoronix money clip sak on me. I always use the smaller for edc, like a Leek. Not as scary to the masses.
 
I have a Murray Carter neck knife and rotate between a Ritter Griptilian, Spyderco Military or Spyderco Manix 2 for front pocket carry.
 
SAK Alox Cadet every day, Leatherman Squirt P4 (if you want to count that) every day, Boker Keycom with a small flashlight attached, then usually some other slipjoint of my choice. The Boker is very small and has a pocket clip so it doubles as a dangler for the flashlight. The SAK and LM are multipurpose tools that get plenty of use. The extra knife is just because I like to carry it.
 
Usually a Kershaw Turbulence/Blackjack 155 with custom scales for small jobs, and a Rajah3/Rat3 for the more robust work.
 
Usually 2 or 3. Usually a larger folder plus a smallish fixed blade, or a not so small fixed and a not so large folder. Plus a CRKT PECK which doubles as a money clip. Not counting my work bag, then toss in a couple more fixed plus a Leatherman PST. If you ask why, ask yourself this. Why have more than one pen in your desk, why have more than one set of utensils, more than one wrench or similar tool. I could go on but you get the idea. Now if you ask if anyone carries more than one of the same knife (at a time), now that's crazy;)
 
I like a small folder (say a Case Tiny Trapper, Buck 505, or a GEC Pemberton) teamed with a GEC Radio Knife. Or the BF Stag Jack teamed with a Leatherman Micra. A Buck112 with oak scales is usually with me on weekends. Fixed blades can be difficult here in CA......
 
For the better part of last year, I have been carrying two knives daily in my pockets; Vic SAK Adventurer and ZT 0770CF. I also have a smaller SAK on a key chain, but I don't really count it as a knife. A Vic Spirit multi-tool is often on my belt as well, but I don't count it as a knife either. The pliers especially comes in handy. The Adventurer has never failed me and it is my main user and the first knife I grab if I need to use a knife. That has been the case for a pretty long time after discovering this particular model of sak. I keep 3 or 4 spares in case I loose one or mess it up cutting or doing something I really shouldn't be doing with a knife.

I sometimes chainge the ZT for a GEC M42 in a leather sleeve in my back pocket. It is my favorite slip joint. Just got a S&M about the same size and will have to give it a try.

I have added a CRKT Folding Razel to my work bag which includes a serrated Endura and a couple of other blades. I keep these inside my truck and get one out as I need them for work related tasks.
 
SAK Farmer
Small fixed Bark River
Spyderco Delica
'Cause one is one, and two is two, and three is three, and I want three.
 
The Delica was what I used to carry along with my SAK mentioned above until I got the ZT. I sometimes substitue a Native 5 also for the ZT.
 
I carry my big EDC knife in my LH pocket, and my small EDC in my RH pocket. I also have a SOG on my belt. It is very useful to have a knife in either pocket, because you never know when you might need to grab a knife and have only 1 hand available.

Leatherman, Benchmade Barrage on my weak side and currently a Delicia on my primary. Soon to replace the Spyderco with a flipper...
 
Always with me blades are a Scallion and the tiny little thing on a Leatherman Micra. Larger knives are carried as desired/needed. So that makes three at a time. :D
