How many blades do you carry at a time?

[Kagetsu]

A 3.5" folder, and the multitool blade. At work, which is most of my day, a small box cutter added for general abuse and for when somebody asks "Borrow yer knife".

3 - 4. A scallion for light cutting, a voyager xl for heavy duty cutting, a backup blade and sometimes a multitool, most of my multitools have the blade switched with a different tool as I prefer a stand alone blade.

 

[BlackBart]

1 just like this Schrade LB5 US of A, handy, small and I like it.

 

[HazyDayz]

Generally 2-4. Different blades for different purposes. If my shirt is tucked, I open carry a fixed blade, or a minimalist that I've rigged as a dangler.

Just hit me yesterday, that I don't have just one blade on me at a given time.

On any given day, with my normal setup, it turns out I always have a minimum of 2 on me. Yesterday, for a specific purpose, I ended up with 4.

OK, 5 if we count the cigar punch

Better to keep'm guessing. Always backup your backup

Usually just one type of Kershaw. Have one in every jacket or I'd forget them. Are fixed blades illegal to carry concealed? I also have a Cold Steel neck carry T handled push knife but it is double bladed so I understand it is not legal? Keep another knife and multitool in a bag which I need to put in my car as it has other survival stuff in it. Doesn't do me any good sitting by the front door. Keep another multi tool in my fishing bag.

2, one on my belt, one in my pocket. Occasionally 3.

 

[Speed3]

I keep a CRKT KISS knife and use that as my money clip, so I always have that one. I wont carry anything else in my dress clothes for work. Weekends, always grab my emerson as well.

 

[T'Challa]

One. Two if I'm fishing.

 

[chrisflhtc]

One benchmade and one sharps tucked away out of sight. there is also a blade in my truck and also one in my bag.

Always at least one, frequently two. Two always when working. Actually hunting (or other outdoor excursion on purpose) positovly clank when walking.

AFAIK, fixed blades are legal as long as they're not concealed in any way. I only carry them if I'm tucking my shirt. I also tend to dress better if I'm carrying a fixed blade khakis and polo at the least. Folding knives are another story. If it folds, its legal. Barring autos of course. Double edged blades are fine as well.

IANAL

Lately 2 unless i plan to do a lot of driving that day. ESEE 3 fixed blade horizontally along the beltline somewhere, and the microtech socom auto in the pocket. I just started carying the esee a few months ago with mixed feelings. It will take some time to get used to. I will likely abandon it and just go back to 1 in the pocket.

[Second Amendment]

One BIG one.

 

[ToneGrail]

1 Spyderco folder clipped to my pocket
1 Gerber mini multitool on the key ring
1 91mm swiss army knife

So that makes 3.

2, one on my belt, one in my pocket. Occasionally 3.

That's what I'm talkin about

If you abandon that ESEE, I'd be happy to adopt.

nice try.

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