Spydie + SAK

Is that 1 Spyderco and 1 Spyder Pack or just 1 Spyder Pack? =P

I carry three normally, if I'm going in the woods or an area that I don't know, or a barbecue, I usually carry one extra.

Two usually, one normal sized and one small, and if I have my truck keys I’ll have 3 since there’s an old school ladybug on the key ring. Sometimes just one and very infrequently none when in areas where they are not allowed.

I used to think I needed to carry multiple, but it's overkill and just looking for reasons to carry extra. I carry my main EDC and a SAK (which is used as pretty much everything BESIDES a knife)

Same here. I have a keychain Swiss army knife with a blade, scissors, pen, bottle opener, tweezers, #00 Philips, and a file. Plus all of the "technically a tool, but not really" things, like the wire stripper notch and flathead on the file. Amazing amount of useful stuff packed into a tool the size of my pinky. I use the scissors and pen more than anything, oddly enough. All that and a ~3" FRN Spydie is perfect.

Short of becoming "that old guy" and wearing a multitool sheath on my belt, I don't think there is more I could comfortably have on me.

I carry one knife.
Used to do the 2 to 3 knife thing, realized I was hauling around bunch of knives for nothing.
One and done

Hey! I'm one of those guys.

Just one unless outside hiking fishing or hunting.

Usually just one folder in my pocket, but there's a utility knife and and a leatherman in my tool bag, and it's usually close by.

One. Oh, and the Leatherman in my truck. And maybe worth mentioning the two beaters in my tool bag. Also the yard knife in my shed, the axe in the truck toolbox, if I'm camping the fixed blade, folding saw, and kitchen knife in the camp pack.

Only need to carry one if you have specific purpose knives stashed everywhere.

2.
Whatever I have in my right front pocket as my main edc. Pac salt, manix 2, pm2, etc...

Then I always have a manbug on my truck keys.

One in the waistband or sockband, usually one or two in my purse or work bag, unless I was recently showing off my collection to a friend and forgot to empty them out of the bag...

I always have a lady bug or man bug on my keys. Depending on which set of keys. I’ll also always have my primary edc blade. I almost forgot but I also always have a leatherman juice s2 on me too, although I never think of the blade on it, it does have a non locking blade. Sometimes along with my primary blade I’ll carry a secondary blade, such as a se tasmin but since I’ve been carrying se primary blade more recently, I haven’t been carrying a secondary edc lately.

So 3 for me, although 2 are pretty small.

Normally, three. Two SAKs...my trusty old Executive down in my RF pocket, and either my Spartan or Pioneer in my right cargo pocket. Then I have whichever Spyderco I have clipped to my RF pocket. The Executive is the only object I carry in the same pocket as my clip knife. I wear cargo pants, so I have enough pockets to distribute comfortably. On rare occasions, I'll carry a second Spydie, usually a smaller SE knife, down in my LF pocket.

3 most days.....
P'kal
Dragonfly (SE Salt, Hawkbill Salt, Wharncliffe K390)
And a rotation of the rest of my collection.

Just the one in my RFP that I rotate on a whim. I don’t count the Compact SAK and the Ladybug Hawkbill Salt (with vehicle keys) that are always in my RRP and LFP, respectively.

You don't want to know. Trust me.

I was scrolling down just anticipating your post--

that it might say a baker's dozen or so.

I did have a chuckle.

2 is 1 and 1 is none - that saying got indoctrinated in my head when I was young.
1 worker / dirty jobs - 1 personal / to cut your steak, sandwich or remove splinter, wire fragment, metal flake the fingers.

oops editing error

1x pe edc
1x se edc backup/emergency blade
1x sak rambler as pe backup
1x ladybug hawkbill salt as se backup

4 total most of the time, but i also have various knives/multi tools in my backpack depending on activity. at work, i also have a ceo in a pen pocket just because it fits there and a squarehead in my pocket to fidget with when my squiddy would draw too much attention.

Minichamp on the keychain, plus a folder. I also keep a 14c28n fixed blade in my backpack.
