Hi Doc,

I envy you for some of your fine pieces, and I must confess I feel almost naked with my single Adventura clipped IWB. Fortunately, the little one managed to deal with most cutting tasks I asked from him. :D It made me forget the SE Dialica lost in the side pocket of the backpack ;)
Oh, and there's a Ladybug attached to the keys, does this count?

I only carry two knives at a time. One locking knife and a slipjoint should cover all my cutting needs. My wife always gives me grief about carrying more than one knife. Some of you guys would give her a heart attack. Think I'll carry my Spyderco Captain and Large Stag Queen Congress (four blade) today.

My EDC rotation

Slipjoint:
Queen Congress Stag
Two Fontenille Pataud Laguiole Knives Wood
Boker Bone Copperhead
Case Bone Canoe
Lone Wolf City Knife Green Micarta
Imperial Stockman Black Delrin

Locking:
Customized Byrd Cara Cara (PE)
Byrd Robin (SS) (PE)
Bone kiwi
Micarta Kopa
Caly 3 (PE)
Captain
C95 Manix (PE)
Spyderfly (doesn't get carried out of the house)

On the boat:
Atlantic Salt (PE)
Pacific Salt (SE)
Buck 9" Fillet

So, what should I get?

when I am working on the boat I always have at least two knives on me.
lately I have had a couple more as well.

Since the beginning of the summer i've carried a PE atlantic salt on the boat, and back it up with either a CE Endura 3 or a SE pacific salt.
Since august Boxer93's black SE dodo hasn't left my pocket.
lately along with the PE atlantic I have carried a gerber armor (I'm writing a review on it) or a fixed frosts mora with SS and a rubber/plastic handle and plastic sheath. I have also been rotating in a schrade 96OT, an old kutmaster equal end jack, or an imperial barlow.

the atlantic salt and the dodo are the knives with me every day on the boat. when I am home or out and about I always have the dodo, lately I've also had a slipjoint of some type with a carbon steel blade, and a CE endura 3 or an 806D2.
