I'm not going to ask what you carry, but how many you carry in a day. To be honest this is because my husband thinks I'm nuts. I carry a Mora, Vic Cadet, Buck Cadet, & a Case Peanut at all times.
So how many is too many to carry?
 
I carry one. A Schrade 34OT.

If I'm fishing/hunting/camping/hiking/canoeing I'll have one, possibly two more on me.

Pretty sad huh? Only one knife.:o
 
wow! if i carried all that id need suspenders:D
i carry just 2
(since ya aint asking, a buck alpha dorado and an old camillus #33):D

At this minute a Leatherman Skeletool in front right pocket, sak Farmer in the front left pocket and a Kershaw Lahar in back right pocket. On any given day I carry 3 to 4 sharp items!!!
 
2 at all times plus a swisskey on the keychain and 2 fixed blades in my jeep.
 
Before I started with the experimet, I would usually have at least two knives on me, sometimes three. Usually two pocket knives and a Buck Hartsook hanging just inside my shirt. Now just my Wenger SI.
 
I was mostly a one knife carrying guy until I got into slipjoint pocket knives.
Now I usually carry two; one of my mini-griptillians and one of my slipjoints.
Today it is a yellow CV peanut.

It depends on where I'm going,what I'm doing & what I'm wearing (clothing)
Right now here it's freakin' cold & I wear heavy shirts,usually keep one in the top pocket (small fixed ) and at least one other slip,maybe 2.Sometimes though,it's just one knife,and,that one could go right down to the smallest of small.But it really all depends on what's going on that particular day
 
Two, but which two varies. It's usually a Vic rambler and either a Case medium jack or a Vic Pioneer Pruner. When my Schrade 836 gets back from the shop, it'll be in the rotation as well.

When hunting, a Wayne Clay Walker Special is in my pocket. When fishing, whichever of my fillet knives is sharpest goes in the tackle box.

What constitutes too many is your call.

Take care,

Either one or two, depending on the day. If it's a one-knife day, I carry a Peanut, mini-Trapper or small Senator. If it's two-knife day, I add my slim, lightweight Vic Cadet in my back pocket next to my wallet. To me, the Vic Cadet with its Alox scales is just an (incredibly useful) tool.

The bone/stag-slabbed others are a tool, plus they are more. They feel more a part of me. Why do I feel more affinity for the natural-scaled knives? I can't really say, except that they feel more a part of me, and I like the way their aesthetics is beautiful and functional at the same time. They also bear the marks of my using them better than the SAK.
 
Two Folders all the time Plus a Multi-tool and/or a Fixed Blade, Depending what I'm doing.

I can see Ten more from here without moving though.:D
 
A black scaled Vic Camper and a Boker pen knife. Before the pen it was a Boker-made Burnt Chimney single blade trapper and the SAK.

for sure, two (opinel #10, shrade penknife). often times i average closer to four (SAK, mora belt knife).

and that doesn't count what i might have in my pack hiking, sometimes another fixed blade, sometimes not. i also usually have a knife in my mess kit.
 
At work it's one small slip joint. At play its the slip joint plus a small fixed blade.
 
1, 2, 3, or very rarely, 4, but I have to be feeling a little obsessive to carry that many. I'm good with just one, but I usually have two. What they are varies a bit, though.
 
My Vic Super Tinker. I used to carry a pocketknife and a multitool, but in an effort to downsize, and also to keep with the one knife experiment I started on here, I've put my multitool away. I never really used the pliers, nor the saw, file, and wire cutters found on the multi. So, I've started using and carrying just the Vic, and I'll tell you what? There's not much it can't do, and there's very little I can't do with it. A little ingenuity will make up for the things it lacks.
