I voted 3, but only one is a folder. Also have a SAK classic on my keychain and a multitool in my pocket that also has a blade.

Voted 2 but can also be three. LB of keychain, Delica CE in jacket (during spring, fall and winter) and something along the lines of the DFLY, AIR, Chapparal during the work week.

A larger folder and something midsize at home and on the weekends.

If I have pants on, I typically have 5.
LFP - Ladybug Hawkbill Salt
watch pocket - Dragonfly Salt or similar size
RFP - Delica Super Blue or similar
In Waistband is usually Caly 3.5 CF
RRP - normally Military/PM2/Manix variant, or sometimes a Sage.

If I'm running around the house in my underwear/t-shirt (I live alone, and if someone peeks in my window it's their own **** fault what they see :D ) I may only have a neck knife, or small knife clipped to my t-shirt pocket, but I may have 3 or a dozen knives on the tray next to me, as I whittle or sharpen them while watching TV.

I think I remember Doc Snubnose posting that he routinely carried a full dozen, including a Rock Salt fixed blade :) .

I'm surprised no pics. I have carried the para2 for about a year now every day. It is the reason I am now hooked on spydies. I carried a benchmade for years until I regifted it back to the person who had gifted it to me in the first place. He really liked it more than me. I then hunted for a replacement and found the para2. I carried the becker for years with that benchmade. Wore the powdercoat off and just sanded it down. The becker has been totally rusty and cleaned up many times and been to four countries and I have many fond memories with it. The izula has been its replacement for a few months now. I want a drop point enuff or a mule to replace it because I do not like the coating on the izula and want some cool steel but I am torn because I kind of enjoy a 1095 beater knife and with the green powdercoat and small size I have found it to be very non-threatening which for me is useful.

I like to carry a folder and a fixed blade.

If it is just a normal day, that is how I roll.

I carry 5-6 usually, a boot knife, leatherman, small folder that fits in the 5th pocket, and pretty much any combination of 2 folders, usually one large and one small, but sometimes I carry just one large or medium folder. Right now im trying to stick with my cruwear millie along with an izula and a cold steel holdout 1 for a week. I also have a leatherman squirt ps4, a zt 0170 and a zdp manbug that are always with me no matter what else changes.

Interesting poll .... because my daughter thinks I'm crazy, as I always EDC 4. Ladybug hawkbill on my key ring, serrated Cricket or a Squeak in my jeans watch pocket, right pocket varies with anything from a Perrin PPT to a Sebenza to a custom, and there is always a slender Alan Davis gent's Wharncliffe in a belt sheath on my right side.

I voted one, but sometimes I also carry a SAK and always have a Victorinox Rescue Tool in the car.
