How many knives do you carry on an average day?

Splice · #1

Just curious what the average knife knut quantity of blades is. I personally carry 3: Whatever my primary might be, my Grasshopper, and a Leatherman Juice S2. I'm thinking about carrying another as a secondary in my left front pocket but I'm still deciding if I think it's overkill.

Ok,I carry 3 as well. First primary defender its a e4 wave or bm stryker @ the right front. The second @ the back strap of the jeans a native or mtech tanto. And last belt carry, there is a no name multi tool. :)

Up until recently I usually carried a SAK plus either the Delica or Para. The last couple of weeks I've just been carrying a Leatherman Wave. Now if Spyderco would just make the ultimate multi tool...

Usually 3-5. Today I have a Ladybug hawkbill and SAK classic in LF pocket, G10 Dragonfly RF pocket, Salt I right rear pocket, and Caly 3 in waistband. Except I took them all out when I took my daughter to the airport, put them back in as soon as I got back in the truck :) .

I also carry 3. SAK on my keychain, right front Ladybug Salt, Delica in my backpack. In and arround the house just the SAK and LB.

SUDS · #6

I usually only carry 1 knife, My manix 2. Though it will change once I get a knew small knife.

I carry my Spyderco EDC System (listed in my siganture) plus a Leatherman Wave, Leatherman Squirt, Cutco Key chain, plus whatever I'm testing.

I have a friend that "carries" hundreds on a daily basis...he is a dealer LOL.

I really only carry one, but I have this ridiculous utili-key on my key ring that I carry for some odd reason. If I ever attempt to use it, I am almost certain I will cut myself more than anything else....been carrying it for better than 8 years and NEVER used it. That makes a lot of sense doesn't it?

Two, a primary and my money clip is a cricket. I will probably upgrade to three, I would like to put a Grasshopper on my keys. Maybe some day I'll dive into SAK and put one inside my pocket.

So, as you are typing this the utili-key gets a close up look of the garbage disposal?? :p

2 most of the time if its at work, etc...oh, and I've had a couple of those utilikeys myself over the years.

You need to get yourself a leatherman and get rid of that piece of junk. I use my leatherman as much as I use my knives (every day). I really suggest the Juice S2, as does NutnFancy and TheCajunBlaze

I always carry my Spin as money clip (except when traveling in planes...) and something clipped to my pocket. Lately, its been my PPT. Today I gave my kreined Navi some time. And lately, Ive been carrying my MicroDyad just for fun.

Billy · #15

Not including the LB on my keys, I usually carry 2-3. My primary in my RFP (this week it's my PPT), backup in my RBP (this week it's my black Military) and a SE hawkbill IWB (last few months it's been my Tasman). So that translates to a one small (3" +/-) one large folder (3.5"-4") and a SE hawkbill (Tasman or Spyderhawk).

I carry one of those "keys" too.

Tho i didn't count in my actual knife count. I carry my usually rotation of EDC, plus a Leatherman Squirt with leather sleeve in my pocket. It has always come to the rescue of many a friend, from glasses to tightening up a small screw...

StangBang · #17

I personally always carry at least 2. I have my larger knife then a smaller one. I like to mix it up so I don't always carry the same things. Usually I carry something like a Manix 2 paired with a dodo or Bob Terzuola Slipit. Or a Para and my tasman, or a Milli and a delica. Just for examples :D

Jazz · #18

Usually a large, a small, and a Leatherman - sometimes 4, but rarely.

- best wishes, Jazz.

The Deacon · #19

Outside the apartment, I generally have a Kiwi and a larger folder, normally a Stretch, with me plus a Bug or Jester depending on which key ring I grab. Inside the apartment, normally none on my person, but there's always at least one within easy reach. Count seven within arms length as type this. :D

Brisket · #20

I usually carry on me a Ladybug on a keychain (with one of those Utili-keys), a neck knive and a folder. I rotate the neck knife and the folder frequently. In my bag I have a multi-tool and fixed blade.
