Usually I carry two - Victorinox Classic lives on my flashdrive and middle size Spydy in my pocket. Two more live in my car all the time...

Before I vote, do we count the blade on multi tools?

I would say yes. So far it seems most people that have mentioned multi tools count them

That blade for me is like a backup backup blade, It NEVER gets used, and I keep it razor sharp just in case I ever don't have a knife and I need one.

So, that said, I carry 3, my primary EDC, a Ladybug on my keys, and my Victorinox Spirit.

Tricky question :-) I didn't count my multitool, I have in my car, but if we count this, I have three knifes in the car and two in the pockets...

I carry three.
Forum Native to cut anything
Caly3.5 or C83 Persian - clean knives to cut food
Kopa or Moki Glory not to scare people.
I also have Jester on key chain, but most of the time I do not wear jacket, so I didn't count it :o
Considering my life style and need, may this is an excessive quantity. I tried to carry just one knife (not counting Jester) and I know that Native can handle all my cutting needs, but I really missed the rest of my EDC.

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

Mine also included a knife on a multi-tool and a SAK. Also depends if I'm at work, working around the house or just taking it easy.

Three. Small SAK on key ring, larger SAK in RRP, locking Spyderco in RFP. Locking knife is usually a Para2 at work, Stretch or Delica when not working/wearing work clothes. Work is construction.

Hey guys,
I voted 5.
I carry a primary blade, currently the Techno, my se g10 Harpy, my loaner, a D4, a se h1 Ladybug
Hawkbill on my keychain, and a Leather man Wave.
If I'm carrying my edc bag, I have about 3 more blades, plus a backup mt.
Probably excessive to most of you, but I use every blade on my personal almost every day for one thing or another.
Later,
Don

Three, FRN Manbug always on my keyring, plus a larger and smaller folder duo in pocket. Typically, a Caly 3.5, Domino or PM2 with my trusty Forest Green G10 Dragonfly. On weekends, I've been recently carrying a Cruwear Millie dressed in Micarta scales paired with a Techno (got that one about a month ago, what a wild little beast! really grew on me after playing with it!). I keep multitools in the car/truck console.
