Multiple Knife Carry

At least a few things have come to my mind reading this thread. First where on earth do you have any room for your gun with six knives? What on earth will you use 3, 4, 6 knives for in an outing? I’m a knife guy and I don’t understand? I carry only one at a time on my person and another in my truck. Usually it’s a folder if I’m at work and a fixie after hours. Am I one of the few that carries only one?

Weirdo. 🤪 My usual carpenter jeans have 6 or 7 pockets: cell phone front left, clipped knife front right, small slip joint in watch pocket, SAK in right rear, wallet left rear and flashlight in right leg (ruler) pocket. Some jeans have another long pocket on the left leg: reading glasses go there.

I had mentioned on the forum before I felt silly carrying multiple knives, however I am rethinking this lately. When I think about the fact that it is nearly impossible for one knife to be good at everything, I have started to carry pairs that complement each other. Of course this will change based on where I'm going and what I am doing. Most days this includes a pocket clip knife in my right front pocket, and a pocket dropper in the same pocket. Reason is my other three pockets are full of crap, so the only option I have is right front or a belt sheath.
 
When not at work, a folder in my back pocket and a Swiss Army Knife in a front pocket. If I have a sling bag or something I'll have a multitool in it. Although that multitool might not have a blade depending on which one it is.

If we want to add in hiking then a larger fixed blade in the pack. Maybe a very large chopping blade, maybe a smaller 4 inch ish blade. Depends on what I'm doing and where.
 
I always have the Live to Explore SAK Companion on a pocket hanger in my front left pocket. I have the Autralia version.

I have a red Wenger nail clipper SAK on my Nite-Ize Bigfoot key hanger clipped to my shoulder bag.

I also have an old, cheap Sanrenmu 7065 (the frame lock one with the OHO bottle opener & OHO seatbelt cutter, and a glass breaker), that I keep clipped to the MOLLE straps on my shoulder bag.

The Companion gets used the most. Mainly the package opener, but the bottle opener, scissors and nail file also get used quite a bit.

I carry the Wenger nail clipper SAK because I'm a string musician (professional ukulele player, thank you) and often need to clip my left hand finger nails at the oddest moments.

I like having the Sanrenmu with me whenever I'm travelling in a car, just in case it's needed. The strap cutter gets used quite a bit to cleanly open snack packages. I have about 10 differently scaled versions of this knife! They were only ~$14 each! It looks like they're no longer available.
