Do you carry more than one knife for EDC?

Whenever I'm deciding which of my EDC blades to take with me for the day I always have a hard time choosing. I always end up carrying more than one, Five to be exact. Does anyone else have a hard time deciding which knife to carry so you end up taking more than one? If so which two do you have the most trouble with deciding on?

I have exactly two every-day-carries, each having three blades that need to be kept sharp & clean. I keep one in my work pants, the other in my at-home pants. That way, as long as I'm wearing pants I have a knife handy - ha ha! But truthfully, I'm the world's worst knife sharpener. I hate to sharpen a knife. The true joy of collecting is that sharpening is a big no-no. A knife that has been sharpened and/or used is worth much less than an unused, mint knife. That was a difficult lesson to learn since my parents taught me that a knife was a tool and there was no point having a knife that wasn't sharp. That is why two EDC's is all I can keep up with.

I carry 3 (though one is a multitool). At work, I carry my Leatherman Skeletool, a Gerber box cutter and my Leatherman Juice S2. On my time I carry my Benchmade 940 and the Juice. I am a little more concerned with light pockets then carrying a lot of knives. My Juice and my Leatherman have never failed to get the job done. I do, however, rotate my knives occasionally so the others don't get too jealous!

I can't actually say I'm in the Multi-blade Group here, but see if this helps.

I have a really big swiss army type knife :) in my arm rest of my truck, three or four in my desk drawer, a bunch in my sock drawer, a couple laying around on the top of my desk- at all times, and a couple hundred right behind me (my collection).

Do I still qualify? :)

I usally carry 2 knives. One little key chain style and then something like a bench made mini grip.
Those 2 knives will in most cases do the trick. Sometimes I will add another one to the mix but not that often.

sometimes i carry a victorinox cadet, a tiny blade like a cricket or ladybug, and a big knife like my strider or paramilitary.
sometimes i carry both paramilitary and strider--i don't know why, but i just do.

5-6?! what exactly are you carrying, and do you mean on your person (not in bags or anything) ?

Hey William Cutting,
Good to see u from BFC! Yes i cary a Spyderco Ladybug on keys, a SE Spyderco Salt 1 and a plain edge blade from any number of manufacturers. I also cary either a SAK (Champion plus) or a Leatherman (Juice s2) as a multitool. I have all bases covered and am ready to meet the day.

I always have a folder clipped to my right pocket, and my HAK around my neck. Occasionally if i have the extra room my Wenger SAK comes along.
