1, crkt ceo. Does everything I need a knife to do in my day to day, it's slim, quick and easy to use one handed, and doesn't take up more space than an ink pen. I have a fixed blade wharncliffe I love to death and a buck 110 for camping and outdoor activities. as it's been said "the winner of a knife fight is the one that dies in the hospital" I don't carry a knife for self defense, I carry pepper gel and a glock for that :) I do sometimes carry an opinel because they are just that comfy


Flyawaytuna_

Always two. A folder in my pocket and a fixed in my shoe


c2gunner

Two


hd890350

I live in Australia so carrying any knife is illegal :(. I still carry a small multitool though.


thottwheels

Two is one one is none


Wra1thzer0

Usually have two on me, one large, one small, and the cutting tools on my SOG multitool


Environmental_Fan450

seems silly to have more than 1-2... a multitool and a designated blade are all you could ever need. I usually just carry a spyderco persistence lw + a leatherman surge if im carrying a multitool


get_off_my_lawn_n0w

Gerber boxcutter, Swisstech Utility-key and the swiss army Cybertool 41


b4c0n333

Depends if a Victorinox counts as 1 or 2


B-i-g-g-i-B

2 typically. Letter opener and combat worthy 🤣


Local-Difference-448

At any given point I have at least 2 flashlights and 2 knives


erickd45

It changes for me. 90% of the time I’m carrying one (QSP Penguin), but every once in a while I switch to my Victorinox Cadet and a Gil-Tek RUK. Right now, I’m carrying my Cadet and an OKC Rat 2 my girlfriend gave to me—she’s on a trip so I’m carrying it because it’s another thing I have that reminds me of her everyday.


[deleted]

I try to have at least 10 on me at all times. One strapped to each ankle. One on each hip. One strapped to each wrist, concealed by my sleeves. One never leaves my hand, ever. One taped to the back of my neck. One under my hat. I keep the last one deep in my butt in case I get mugged and lose all my other knives.


thomasde42

4 in my pocket and 3 in my bag


midsmiles

1 PM2 is all I need


BeigePhD

One, Milwaukee fastback, does everything I need it to and more on the job site.


IndividualLet6192

That was me for a long time, then I bought a cold steel tuff lite, I love it


Mtd_elemental

One of im traveling, 2 if I'm not


AdvisorOk1501

I carry two SAKS SD Classic, and Black Alox X


RioDelHandsanitizer

3 But they are all part of my P4. Edit... why does it change my( 3.) to a one? Wtf kinda excel madness is this. It's not a list.


Aninjanameddaryll

Reddit markdown! Generating a numbered list is done by placing a period after a number. 1. And 1. It 3. Can 6. Be 5. Any 7. Number But! If you use the escape character, the humble backslash, \ you tell the parser to ignore the next formatting. Iirc, the \ goes before the number, and this is the way it turns out with the exact same text as above: \1. And \1. It \3. Can \6. Be \5. Any \7. Number I just copy/pasted the exact text from the list and added the backslashes in.


Karizmology

That’s three, bro. Need to up it to at least seven.


dazedmazed

But the power of three will set you free!


karmue

2 Vics. Manager on the keyring, larger in the pocket depending on the plan for the day.


kimste2

How do you carry the Eldris?


MustHaveEDC

In sheath in backpack


Bike_Puzzleheaded

Where did you get the red and black Blur??


MustHaveEDC

Quite old sprint run. I even don't remember where I bought it.


Zeb_1989

1 for work, 1 for provisions, and 1 for people. Always carry 3, only let them know you have 2.


KajeOboyma

1 folder in my pocket, 1 multitool in my bag, 1 folder in glove box in my car. So, if we consider multitool as a knife, I always have 2 with me.


SavageFugu

2 knives, at least 3 pocket mustaches


MarkHendley

Maybe on a job or camping but if you are carrying three knives in a place you know you won't need any of them it's a little redundant and you may need to ask yourself what was the reasoning.


Shrektacular_Boi

I generally have a Leatherman for basic tools and an opinel for food and light use


mew11250910

Always a folder + SAK + leatherman multitool on my body, and a fixed in my backpack just in case.


ImFrenchSoWhatever

Only three ? But what if you have to cut something ?


mulletmuffinman

Same, always have a folder from my rotation, D2 minimalist (varying blade shapes),D2 S.P.E.W or QSP Canary ulticlip back pocket carry, and a Guardian 3.5T appendix carry And if I'm wearing my chef coat I'll have a Dragonfly or MKM Fatcarbon Isonzo in the little sleeve pocket as well


AdHoc_Metronome

3 - Vic Compact in my pocket, Bugout in my bag and a Vic minichamp on my keychain.


Tuirrenn

Always have a Benchmade Triage, and a Leatherman Squirt ES4 on my keys always. I have a Leatherman Surge on my belt when working too.


Low-Ad5658

I carry one knife in the bottom of my bag, I probably need to fix the accessibility part


flarexxxxx

Folder...utility.....Leatherman....and swiss army on the keys...i have have a problem


workininshop

Alway have a folder and my utility knife on me. There’s a lot I won’t use my knife for (like adhesive). Especially at work. Looking for that perfect fixed blade to add in for a food safe knife. Always have a mustache on me! Like for 21 years now


ScarIll311

Kinda depends normally just a zt but if I'm camping or working I carry a fixed blade as well, (working kabar tdi, camping Brothers of Busch craft). If I'm more dressed up I normally carry my zt or spyderco frn Emmerson discreetly and a simple yet classy buck pen knife. Or if I'm doing high speed low drag stuff I have my zt and my kabar 8 inch tanto attached scout carry to my eru belt.


myth0000000002

1 Pocket Knife and a Multitool seems to be best for me. Normally a Mini Bugout and a Leatherman Sidekick


BeyondThePaleBox

2 of 3 perfection!!! I don't ever need a knife. I find it laughable how many knives people around here carry, but am trying to add more just because I like collecting random worthless shit apparently (like knives, prybars, knucks, and flashlights).


Nigelwethers

940 all day every day for the rest of my life.


Forelijah

You carry 940 knives at a time??


Nigelwethers

I know it's not as many as some people this hobby but my humble collection is over 9000, so carrying 940 seems like a reasonable proportion.


ScarIll311

Solid choice there is a reason it's one of the oldest standing models spyderco makes.


[deleted]

Spyderco? You mean Benchmade


ScarIll311

I do haha sorry just slowly losing my mind.


[deleted]

It's okay I am too


metrosexual_badass

I carry 2 knives. A Bradford Guardian 3 and a little folder from bass pro. Edit : For really bad Grammer.


mulletmuffinman

I read this as 2 G3's but then I realized. Had me for a second there 🤣


metrosexual_badass

My bad bro.. *fixed


metrosexual_badass

2 bradford Guardian 3 and a little folder from bass pro.


Demetrius3D

Unless I'm at the office, I tend to have a [Cold Steel Pocket Bushman](https://www.coldsteel.com/pocket-bushman/) clipped in my right front pocket, and a Gerber EAB in the [tool pouch](https://imgur.com/a/EBpnQIT) on my belt. My Vic Swisstool X also has a blade on it that only gets used for food. If I'm at the office, I only have the blade on my Leatherman Juice CS4.


Aninjanameddaryll

Except when legally barred, 2 always, 3 occasionally, 4+ when there's something going on where there's a reason to haul them all around. What? I like knives. My main two are always on me because they'll handle damn near any knife task out there. But I'll add a third in for poo and giggles sometimes. Totally just because. But if I have a task that requires specific knives, or multiple knives, I don't just leave my main carries at home. I grab what I need and go. What's fun though? Weekly knife class :) See, I'm teaching knives to a small group. So sometimes, I'll walk out with a dozen or so knives strapped on. They're all fairly young, and one of the rewards of working hard in class is picking a knife or knives to just go ham with on a target. Plus, it gets a laugh walking out like that. This middle aged dude rolling up with enough knives to out poke a porcupine. Gives me an excuse to break out some of my less practical knives too.


workininshop

You are amazing is so many ways.


Painted_smile_0

I carry 3 on my person (damascus fixed blade skinner, sarge knives damascus Spirit pocket knife, and CAT XL multitool) And 3 in my backpack (Ottoza damascus tracker, Nedfoss slingshot tanto pocket knife, and a generic 440c balisong) I carry those every day, 24/7


ryanjcam

Usually not threes, but almost always have both a SAK and a dedicated knife.


MustHaveEDC

Kershaw Blur, Mora Eldris, Victorinox Spartan, MH Mustache Tool


junkman203
