I think 3 is a nice round number. I go with an Eswing hatchet, K-bar, and multi-tool, but then, I'm obviously not as well funded as you guys. I'd love to be able to afford A Chris Reeve, much less several. I think a trout knife would be good too, but I've been using a cuthroat razor for most of those uses.
I might have mentioned before that I don't see how small knives weigh you down much. Sure, there's a practical limit to this, but something the size of a skinner, or neck knife isn't going to make the difference between being able to float, and sinking like a stone.
As for the big things like a 6' Booee, or two bit hewing axe, that's a different story. I could conscience having one of each, though.
The bare minimum, though would have to be a big Bowie, or axe, skinner, and pocket toolbox.
