Inside my home I generally carry one 1 primary knife, usually it's the newest one undergoing testing.
Outside my home I always carry a LadybugIII PE in my keychain as a backup/extra-fine work knife.
Alongside that I carry a primary knife, either a one-handed folder clipped to my RF pocket or a sub 3" fixed blade on my belt.
On top of that in my EDC bag I have a Leatherman Charge TTi with PE and SE blades, so that makes a total of FOUR!? Man I feel like a freak. :D
I guess I'll feel normal after Doc waltzes in and shares his load. :p

I almost always carry two. One that can be opened one-handed and locks (Kuhkuri today) and either a regular slipjoint or my Bob T.

2 - 3 depending where I go.

Manix 2 in RBP or LBP
Endura 4 in RFP
Ladybug on keychain (but it's a special keychain where I only have the LB and a Leatherman Squirt S4 - so sometimes I do not carry it)

I'd say today is typical....

right now:
spyderench on left hip, squirt EL on right hip, subcom with keys in left rear, zowada in right front

If I'm not at work I've got something in left front, if not something on my neck (usually the ss dragonfly).

I carry a Military in my right front pocket, a Ladybug in my watch pocket (also RFP), and there's a SAK classic attached to my keychain in my left front pocket.

The Ladybug probably gets the most use out of all of them. It's big enough for most things I need to do and doesn't scare most people. And VG-10 gets nice and sharp :)

Two.

One of my numerous Spydies
and
- which I tend to forget about to a point where I get in trouble when checking in at the airport - a SAK on my keyring. Had one there since the Eighties I think :) Recently bought a new one, a "Silver Tech" Victorinox.

I'm a one knife man, almost always in my front right pocket which at the moment is my Caly 3. I carried a Leatherman for a while but those things are just too heavy for EDC for my taste which is a real shame because i like having one on me.

I have that too! that is a beautiful tool, because it gets through airport security simply because it looks like a key on a keyring. Now if Spyderco made a knife that could transform like in the movies...

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?

I only carry one knife on an average day, either a foliage UKPK or one of many SAKs.

I've never carried more than three knives at once in my life, even when fishing, camping or bushcrafting.

I try to keep it down to twenty, not counting multi-tools. ;)

I think I'll wind up with four as of this weekend. Dude at the Flea Market was selling meerkats with reverse S blades for $35. Don't know why I passed it up last week as a nice deep carry fully serrated knife would go really well with my current set up. I'm thinking about changing all my clips over to left pocket since I'm unable to move my sebenza out of the right pocket.

I usually carry something big and something small. I voted 3 though, because I almost always have something tiny too, like the blade on a Leatherman PS4.

I always carry at least 2, but sometimes more depending on the day, what I'm doing, where I'm going, etc.
