Do you have right and left handed models? And if you do, do you carry them at the same time? One in right pocket for your right hand and one for your left hand. I only have a large micarta insingo so I am limited. (Don't worry saving for a large micarta inkosi). I've read that some collectors carry multiple knives I was wondering if you have doubled up left and right handedness.
 
I can carry a left-and-right-hand CRK combo, and have at times, but I usually carry a CRK along with an Emerson.

I am left handed and own mainly left-handed CRKs, so they go in the left pocket and usually an Emerson CQC 15, Super Commander or Super Karambit in the right.

I use the CRK for main cutting, and the Emerson more for fast deployment if ever needed - although I seriously doubt it, but nowadays one never knows - or for abusive cutting I don't want to subject a CRK to.

I often carry two knives whenever not at work, and even sometimes then.

If it is at work they are smaller knives due to dress pants being worn, like a Wilson Combat Eagle IWB and a small lefty Sebenza Micarta Insingo in a CRK slip pouch.

But after work, I wear carpenter jeans 90% of the time and usually carry two close to 4" blades, which I prefer.
 
Just a single right for me. I have never been a multi knife carrier other then when I might go fixed + folder which isn't often.
 
As of about two weeks ago, yes! Right and left handed models. Still getting accustomed to the left....
 
I've got left handed CRK's for my primary use. I typically also carry a Strider on the right side for backup/secondary carry. Been getting the ZT's in the right pocket rotation.
 
I'm starting to get into fixed blades and I can see how nice it is having two different sizes of blades
 
Usually carry two knives, a CRK and a smaller traditional. If outdoors than a fixed blade and either my CRK or traditional. Always right front pocket for both, I feel insecure putting an expensive knife in my back pocket, and definitely not a knife for each hand, lol. Keys and wallet/money on my left side, knives and stuff on the right side.

Sorry no dedicated lefties.
When I take more the one, it's different sizes, lg21 and Mnandi.
 
Carried a small lefty reg and a righty 25. Both came in to use throughout the day. Used the lefty (left handed mind you) to cut fishing line, a couple small twigs, and some baling twine. Used the righty to clean out some trout, cut some rope, and cut up some trout fillets for dinner.
 
I pair my CRK with a traditional knife. I don't think I have ever carried two CRKs at the same time, even though I do have both right and left hand models.
 
I have lefties, I use CRK's with my left hand at least as often as I use with my right hand, but I'm not carrying a lefty right now. I have in the past. Right now my carry CRK's are a large UG that I carry in the left rear pocket. It rocks a Ti-Lock clip these days. It's real easy to open this with either hand.

The other that I carry is a small with double lugs. Because is had a damascus blade and a diamond cabachon, I protect a bit although use it. It's carried in a pouch in my right front pocket. I can also open it easily with either hand.

I may carry a dedicated lefty again at some point, but it's going to be hard for any knife to kick these 2 out of my pockets. I also have a Mnandi that I carry occasionally clipped to my shirt collar.

I usually carry at least two knives, and when I have my wallet, I AM carrying 3. I am very ambidextrous. It has never occurred to me to buy a left handed CRK. Hmmmm, I might just have to do that.
