How many knives do you carry?

[AllenETreat]

This one should net vampyrewolf, as he's the "heavy metal" of us.

But for me : I usually carry two, three if I carry that non-descript micro tool.

* SE FRN Cricket

* Kershaw Ace ( not a one handed job, just a traditional opener about
the Cricket's size with a PE to offset that SE )

What say the augurers?

AET :D

[BOK]

Usually two.

I use to carry 3 or more but I find that overkill so two has become the magic number of late.

[ghostrider]

If you count multi-tools, them five total.

A Leatherman Original
A Leatherman Micra

Endura FRN CE (for EDC/utility)
Orange Rescue Jr. (for emergency)
Calypso Jr. gray (for sheeple)

[miyamotomusashi]

Usually two, one for each pocket, sometimes three when I have the carpenter pants on with than side pocket on the right thigh. When I am feeling really freaky, I carry a fourth IWB, but that's rare.

[the boy]

Usually four.

-Endura FRN PE

-Calypso Jr. PE

-Manix PE

-SAK (cybertool)

[Jimd]

Always to. Sometimes three or four.

If I'm wearing my pistol, then I sometimes omit the fixed blade.

[The Deacon]

Today, a Kiwi in my watch pocket and a Stretch in my LR. Then of course there's the Jester on my keyring and the PE Rescue in my shoulder bag, but those only get "carried" to and from the car.

[Stevie Ray]

Normally, just one. On road trips, I add a black SPOT.

[samosaurus]

Last I looked, about 2.. :D

Sam

[i.v]

i mostly carry just one, either my ladybug or my ss cricket, when i go camping, climbing or any other trip then i switch between salt1\delica.

[Dr. Snubnose]

I carry eight....yep you read that right eight... Today's carry was ChinookII, Yojimbo, Co-Pilot, Ronin, Ladybug, Jester, Vesuvius, and a Micro-Tech Medallion Neck Knife.... :eek: Well... seven spyderco's out of eight knives ain't so bad!..... :D Doc

[WOTANSON1]

Two if you count the blade in my Leatherman Crunch, which I don't :) . Today was my SE FRN Endura, most days my SE Dodo work knife, but lately only at work.
Cheers,
Rob

[LONE WOLF]

At least 2.

[Piet.S]

Always a Delica, often an Opinel nr-8 carbon and sometimes a carbon steel Puuko I made myself. So up to three.

[224477]

Hello,

mostly I carry at least two.
Today:
LF - Caly Jr. Grey
RF - byrd Cara Cara
watch pocket - small lock back from Richartz Solingen, black blade, in the size of Jester, for office tasks (not to cause panics by my colleagues :p )

I dont count these to be knives:
in my bag:
SAK
on keychain:
small SAK

[Damage1978]

Work
:spyder: UK Penknife
Vic Cybertool
If you count the Vic Classic on the keyring then the totals 3

When at home usually just the 1, and thats normally my latest purchase or a Native III.

[fret]

Four mostly. Cricket and Delica all the time. Sometimes a couple of small Bucks that never get used and always have a Trim Trio on my keychain.

[dialex]

Hi Allen. I only carry one (Delica, of course) :) Uh, I almost forgot the Mini Police necklace, so that makes two. ;)

[Hannibal Lecter]

Good day, all.

I carry the Gunting PE 440V in a Survival Sheath on my belt and a Wenger Swiss Army Knife in my back pocket.

I will occasionally remove the Gunting while at home or for short jaunts into town, replacing it with an in-pocket Merlin, Harpy or the like.

On days when I am really paranoid, I will carry the Gunting and a Harpy, karambit, etc. in pocket.

I see myself in the immediate future moving to always having three knives for EDC - the Gunting, the Wenger SAK, and probably a Delica in the left pocket for general cutting.

Hannibal

[clovisc]

lately...

around the house, usually just the manix.

going out in woods, fishing, walking outside at night, visiting the city... usually 3-5. i try to carry as much steel as i can as descretely as possible... without weighing down the pants too much. usually have a flashlight or two handy, also...

[spydutch]

I carry 2 sometimes 3. I bought a Manix CE last week so that will be my EDC(in replacement of my Harpy) for the time being. I always carry my SS Cricket PE and a JesterSE on my keyring. I almost forgot: a SAK in back pocket.

[Ted]

Normally one. When we go away (camping etc.) I'll pack a fixed blade and a backup folder. Sometimes I grab a couple more... ;)

Ted

[Michael Cook]

3 mbc knives. left and right pocket and a dodo loose in my right rear pocket.

[Ray.Hood]

I carry at least 3 blades.
Right pocket: CE,FRN Endura (black blade)
Left hip: Cold Steel Peace Keeper 3, and a Gerber multi.
I need to find a good sized fixed blade to augment the collection. It helps to have a myriad of tools to choose from.
I would like to say thank you all for the kind words and support for all of us over here and other places. Thank you to Sal Glesser for starting up such a great and supportive company. Ray.

[agony]

I always carry a SAK...either a black Climber or red Spartan. With a red LED keychain minilight attached go the lanyard hole.

I carry my defensive EDC in my weak-hand pocket....vary it every couple days. Usually a Benchmade Ares (please don't hurt me) or a Sebenza. Lately I've become enamoured with hawkbill-type knives, so it's usually a Crossbill or a Harpy, or a plain-edge Merlin.

[zeus]

1. Street clothes= two Spydies, Modified Military (CE), Modified Dodo (black PE)

2. Work clothes= 3 to 4 knives. See the two above and add a modified CudaMaxx
with tip-up carry and a finger ring for fast wave-like draws from LFP.
Occasionally a Buck Strider on a tool belt for "rough" work. Have a D'Allara Rescue in the utility/tactical vest.

3. For motorcycling= the Military from above, a G-10 Cilivian SE, and a Buck Kalinga in Black Micarta setup for a cross-draw on the leather jacket's police belt.

4. Evening wear = Starmate PE or Calypso Senior PE

5. Kitchen carry = Stainless Endura II SE

[David Lowry]

Most of the time only a SAK (either a Victorinox Ranger or Huntsman) in my RF Pocket. Sometimes I clip on a Delica also.

So I would say most of the time 1. Only sometimes 2. ;)

I also always have a small Victorinox SAK on my keychain.

[David Lowry]

I carry eight....yep you read that right eight... Today's carry was ChinookII, Yojimbo, Co-Pilot, Ronin, Ladybug, Jester, Vesuvius, and a Micro-Tech Medallion Neck Knife.... :eek: Well... seven spyderco's out of eight knives ain't so bad!..... :D Doc

I'm thinking if you ever get stopped for anything and have that many knives on you the cops will have quite a dim view of carrying that much steel :D.

[ASmitty]

I'm with David on this one. 1, occasionally (and I stress occasionally) 2. Just don't need any more than that on any kind of regular basis.

[pjrocco]

I usally have 3 on me at all times.

RF - FRN Calypso Jr. PE
LF - FRN Delica CE
Keychain - Black Jester PE

The Native CE seems to make it in my pocket often as well. Walker has been popping in there lately also....
