I noticed in the "EDC what's in your pocket" thread that quite a ew people here have multiple EDC's. I was considering adding another and I was wondering where you guys who carry more than one generally keep them? Assuming they are ment as a pocket knife and not a neck.
 
I carry a Victorinox Explorer Plus in my LF pocket, and a Spydie folder clipped to that same pocket.
 
I like knives, and I like to carry more than one knife. Also, I am very ambidextrous, and if the main knife doesn't have ambi opening, I carry a second one.
 
I will carry 4 knives sometimes. One clipped to my RF pocket, one dropped into my LF pocket that I use as a money clip, one clipped to a cargo pocket, and one clipped IWB (inside waste band). The IWB is clipped just to the right of my zipper with the bottom of the knife angled to the left (towards center of body). A lot of times I don't even notice this knife and it all but disappears since it is hard to see looking at me especially if wearing a belt.

I know this is a little excessive but the IWB and cargo pocket knife are usually carried if I get a new knife and I am wanting to try it out. The money clip is always there and will vary sometimes and the right front pocket knife is always a Benchmade Rift. That is my favorite knife and goes everywhere.
 
I carry a SAK and another knife, one in each pocket, or, if one has a clip and one doesn't, both in the same pocket, or one on a belt pouch one in a pocket, the possibilities are endless.
 
I carry a SAK classic and Delica on my keychain. I ususally have my Fallkniven U2 in my zipped sleeve jacket pocket. I normally carry one other EDC such as a Spyderco Manix 2 or Sebenza in my pocket or on my belt.
 
I carry a main blade, my Spyderco Tenacious and my "Sheeple" knife the Case Sod Buster Jr. and I still get looks for using that one.
 
I usually carry two folders on me, one in the RF pocket and the other in the LR pocket. That way even if I have something in one hand I can still get to a knife. Most of the time I also have a knife on my belt, but I don't guess that really applies to what you wanted to know.....
 
Today, carried a large stainless Damascus Sebenza clipped in my back right pocket, Vic Tinker in my watch pocket... also had a Case CV Med stockman to keep the Vic from being all alone :D

So three knives on me, and six blades to choose from :D



Also had a Vic Rambler on the keys :D
 
At work (white collar environment) I carry a small traditional slipjoint like a Case peanut or GEC #25. They are elegant and easy on dress pants. In my bag I have an LM Juice.

On my own time I carry a Victorinox Spirit on my belt and some sort of folder or pocket-sized fixed blade in my pocket.

Basically, I like a multitool paired with a dedicated cutter.
 
During the week while at work or on a normal weekend around town: "My Knife" is clipped to my right front pocket. Loaner knife is usually at the bottom of the same pocket.

When I go back to my parents house I do not carry a loaner knife, as most people carry their own knifes. I do however carry a Spyderco Military in my back right pocket and a smaller (Small Sebenza usually) in my front right.
 
Two always better than one. I carry a large single blade in my right front and a smaller, usually a slipjoint, in my left front pocket. The smaller one sees most of the work since I am around a lot of non knife people most of the day. But let me go to the warehouse and all bets are off as to what I use for my cutting chores! Currently carrying my Boker Titan Defender in the rfp, and Case Humpback whittler in he left.
 
One in Left Pocket either Delica Combo Edge, Delica Wave, Ontario XM1, Kershaw OD-1, something with a clip. My Main Go To

Right Pocket Sod Buster Jr and a SwissBuck on my keys. Sheeple or finger nails

Left Back Pocket SAK Farmer on a lanyard clipped to belt loop. Really just for the Saw

Right Back Pocket Skeletool or my PowerLock on my belt, never know when you need a pair of pilers

Left leg pocket Izula, been doing this for a while but now its on the kid's diaper bag, need to order another though.

I am a school teacher, high school Ag. I teach Forestry, small engine repair, and many other classes that necessitate a blade. Never know when you will be using one hand and need a knife so at least one on each side. I may replace the clip knife with the Izula eventually as I really like having a fixed blade on me. I did order a Saw Blade Knife from a guy I am waiting on. He made me a Warncliffe with a functional saw on the back. If I like it it will replace the SAK.

I always have two on me, a folder in RF and a fixed blade carried on the left as a boot knife.

You know that feeling when you go to reach for your car keys, or wallet from your pocket and for just that split second you don't feel them and you think, "Oh **** what where are they!". Not a nice feeling! Same with the knife, and what if it wasnt actually there? at least you have that second as a backup!
 
Clipped on my right pocket is my Spyderco Endura or Native or Tenatious.

In my pocket is my old henry or sak.
 
Today and everyday this combo, Queen cattle king stockman and a Kershaw skyline (Clipped) Both in right front pocket.
Also a Gerber Freeman fixed blade on my belt.
 
I often tote a LM Wave as well as the stockman I EDC in an horizontal integral belt pouch. Sometimes it's handy to use the LM pliers to grip something and cut with the stockman.
 
I always carry a SAK, and a second knife, usually a Stockman. I also like to keep a Spyderco Delica clipped to my pocket, but I haven't been carrying it as consistently.
 
at work i actually carry four, including a sak and another little multitool.

not at work, i normally carry just one. sometimes ill carry a little slipjoint, but not much lately.
 
I carry a SAK in my left front pocket, an Izula or a BK-11 in my right back pocket with my wallet, and a large folder either in my right front pocket, or in a horizontal belt sheath above my back pocket. I also cary a small sharpening stone in my right front pocket, as well as a firesteel. Different knives have different uses, and therefore you should have one for each potential situation, at least a multi-tool of some sort and a blade, either fixed or one handed folder which gives you quick and unhindered access to a cutting implement.

I just realized that I also carry a Boker sub-com IWB on my eft side, that thing is so small, I forget its there (until I need it).
