right front pocket: rotation
left front pocket: rotation
left front pocket: vnox cybertool 29
left rear pocket: boker subcom
neck: rotation, usually either ss 'fly or millie
left hip: multitool rotation (lm surge, core, charge)
and if I have a fixed blade on that day: right hip 90% of the time
have a CKE shop knife on my vest, and a 2nd multitool in my vest. If it's not on me it's near me.
and then days like today, I've been in a pair of jogging pants since 1pm, with just my kris IWB

Typically, I carry 2. Sometimes, I'll carry the Street Beat as #3.

For me it used to be one during the week and two on the weekend. Since I bought the Para it's just one all week long.

.......just two; a Spyderco and a slipjoint, usually a Canoe pattern. These two have for many years met my EDC needs.

2-3 depending on the day.
Average work day during the week, E4 FRN PE or SE, SE cricket, and If I'm feeling the need I'll carry the Tasman SE also.
On the weekend right now its a Police 3 SE and my SE cricket. I am waiting for my Harpy to come back from Custom Etch. I should have it back on Friday and at which point it will go along with my weekend carry.

I only carry one, if I need two I have bigger problems then only having the one knife on me. :D Usually I pick do-everything style blades. My current EDC is my PE Delica 4.

I carry my D4W as my dedicated knife, and then my Leatherman Blast is my multi-tool.

Put down 3, but it really depends on what I'm doing and how you count.
Around my apartment - 0 on my person, plenty lying around, at least a couple within easy reach.
Weekends when out - 3, normally a Kiwi, larger folder, and the Jester on my keyring. But the Jester sometimes stays in the car, along with the bulk of my keys, while I shop.
Traveling to work - 4, the above 3 plus a Boker Cop Tool that replaced my Wonderbar in my bag.
At work - normally 2 on my person, usually a Kiwi and a larger folder.
When on "state business" - sometimes 0, sometimes 2, sometimes 4, depending on security level of building and our travel arrangements.

Main EDC in RFP
SAK in left back pocket
Ladybug III/SE on key ring

I voted two but really it's 3. I have a keycom on my keychain, a SAK in my messenger bag and what ever Spyderco I am carrying that day in my pocket. Come to think of it, I have a leatherman squirt in my bag too and an orange rescue in my glove box. Guess that's 5 unless you don't count whats on my person at all times.

I went for 3: Mili in my front pocket, Boker Keycom on keychain and a SAK just in case a bottle of wine crosses my path.

I put 3 as that's pretty typical for me (not including the Laguiole that rides in my FLP every day but hardly sees any use). Most often it's a large/med folder in RFP (Millie, Kris, E4 or C83 Persian), small/med folder in BRP (D4, Caly III, E4W) and my SE Tasman IWB. Sometimes I will carry a D4W in my FLP, and lately, I've been adding my Rat Cutlery RC-3 into the mix in either my FLP or RFP. For a fixed blade, it rides nicely loose in the pocket.

3 or 4 @ work, depends on the day and my mood. (Persian, Caly3, Ladybug and sometimes Kopa)
4 on weekend (all above, hopefully will get Native4 this weekend),
just Persian @ home,
Caly3 in gym.

2 or 3 is usual for me. Something UKPK sized, something with teeth and a ladybug is typical.

I'm still wearing the same belt I got 7-8 years ago from the army surplus here... 1.5" nylon with brass slide buckle (coating long since worn off, now just silver).
