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?

Do you whittle on the pews?

I am new to this site. I had the same problem, so many knives so few days. This may be excessive but a usually carry three. I have a SAK classic on my key chain, another SAK that changes each day and also a traditional or modern folder depending on what I am wearing or I just stat in one end of my knife roll and work towards the other end.

That's the 11th commandment, thou shalt not whittle on the pews :)

I thought it was normal to carry more than one. I always tell people wha act amazed at seeing a knife that a real knife man will always have 3 or 4 knives on them. Lol

I've carried a pocket knife every day (mostly) all my life. Something like a stockma (small or med). It was just like a watch or wallet.In the past 5 years or so I've gotten into better quality and wider variety knives. Now I carry more than one based mainly on size. Right now I have Spyderco Chaparral 2, Manbug and Dragonfly2. I also have a hand made knife, a D'Arbone #53. I love this knife. It has a 3 1/4" FFG blade of CPM-M4 and G-10 handle scales. Liner lock. The Dragonfly is in a kydex neck sheath. This is by far the easiest form of carry I've done. I never have to twist or turn or anything to get the knife out. Except in public I guess. I normally put it under my shirt. I forget sometimes though.

Now I want too start using more conventional knives as well as the Spyderco type (one-hand opening, locking). Can't carry just one you know. :)

I always carry my Benchmade 551 clipped to my back pocket. In my front pocket I rotate between my Case stockman in CroVan and my Queen stockman in D2.

I always carry more than one and I do try to get a third in somehow!

Lol Steve, when I'm home I do the same.

Big knife, little knife, (and when home) BIGGER knife.

Yep, today I did. Had to go with the wife to town - Eastgate in Cincinnati to get some quilting material. So I put a Canoe in each pocket. Now I ask you, how many went to town today with a Canoe in each pocket?. Not many I bet.

Those RR's sure are pretty, Ken! That's interesting that the smaller one has the back lock on it and not the larger one with what appears to be a single blade. Both are looking very good, though!

Ron, The larger one is a 2 blade.
