How many blades do you carry at a time?

[HazyDayz]

nice try.

I think it boils down to practicality. I find myself using whichever folder i have on almost exclusively.

Worth a shot. I find myself going the other way, if I have a fixed blade, I prefer that.

I've wanted to do this but feel that it my more of a pita that what its worth

Agreed. I think the payoff for wearing a fixed blade concealed is dwarfed by the inconvenience.

I felt that way too, and i still love it. It should make sense, but in the end, for me, it's become another thing on my belt. Especially now that a blade doesn't need to carry self defense duty.

A fixed blade is nice, yes... but I find that, in my comings and goings, it is more an inconvenience than a folder... plus, I don't get unusual looks when out and about.

Less attention, for me, is an adequate trade-off at this point.

One blade carried in my off (support)hand pocket. Maybe a small something or other tucked in my waistband somewhere if I'm feeling frisky.

I may have to go this route when I do carry... but as I live in MD, I go with the folder in the strong-side pocket.

I've already long since started keeping my phone(s) on the weak side.

One Gerber folder or one cold steel folder.

Two ...

A CRKT and a combo Hoof Pick Knife.

Don't ask, and don't call me Mr. Ed ...

Typically have a minimum of a multi tool and at least one folder, not counting others which may be in bags, coats, vehicles, etc.

Two. I have a little victorinox I keep on my key chain and a buck folder if I'm not working. Can't have knives at work so I have the little one on my key chain and one that's the same size on my work keys (Samsung brand).

I have been contemplating a kabar tdi knife for gun retention when carrying, anyone have any insight on that knife? Fixed blades are legal concealed here.

Strong side pocket is usually contego. It's the easiest to deploy for defense stuff, and I like that it has a glass breaker when I'm in the car. The cpm-m4 also just plain doesn't wear. I can use it all day long and not have to worry about resharpening it.


I also usually clip a second in my support side pocket, or 4 oclock on my waistband. Recently, it's been the lightweight manix in cpm-s110v. The blade is perfect for slicing and again, absurd edge retention. I switch to this for finer detail work.



If I'm planning on going shooting, or feel like I may need some basic hand-tools, I replace the contego with my leatherman mut. I also keep a LAPG operator L2 in my lefthand pocket for general light-stuff. If I'm in places where I want to downplay having a knife, I'll ditch the contego and just keep the manix at 4 0clock.

4
At ALL times, church or work. LOL
A folding razor utility knife, a Buck 110 finger groove, a 2 blade Case, and a Leatherman multi tool.

And one I dont count, an engraved 2" folder that was given to me for being "Best Man" at weddin (carry out of rememberance)

So 5, not counting what is in truck, or bug out bags that are usually handy.

Uno solamente, the one I've carried for almost seven years. Cold Steel - Ti-Lite stainless

Great sword/knife. I carried one when i lived in Maryland. Still have it in the safe. Perfect if you have to remove someones liver.

Mine is only the 4" blade, but yes, it is a one purpose tool

One Kershaw half-serrated blade. Two Kershaw half-serrated blades if I'm feeling bold. They ride alongside each other on the strong side. Yes. I know it makes no sense. No. I don't care...

I initially started carrying weak side because my microtech would hit the barrel of my pistol pretty often. It makes it almost impossible to get. Then I realized if my strong hand got injured somehow and I lost the pistol, it would be easier access for my left hand to reach.

Only one. At present a Benchmade 942BK; used to carry the 710 but it tended to intimidate folks at work. I really don't need the heft of the bigger blade generally, though I'll eventually get a Contego, the grown-up version of my 942.
