The reason not to carry a "keeper."

...all my buttons :)

I would feel naked without my knife.

I think I will carry my new GE stag today

Look like some great people in here. I still collection old knives from years ago. I have over 200+ from the 20's and later.

What are the paths you take to acquire the old ones you do? What do you look for in the one's you get?

I added some old knives to my photo to see. I think you will see the kind of knives from year of old I am talking about.

Thanks for joining us Andrew- what is your everyday carry?

Well it's nothing like shown below. I usually carry my Spyderco Endura and/or Spyderco Dragonfly.

I hear ya. That knife was first made as a heavy duty work knife back around the turn of the last century. It's too heavy to carry in your front pockets, but I did day before last. It feels good in my hand, open or closed, but too heavy in the pocket.

I feel weird saying this, but I never have less than 5 blades on my person at all times! Today for example, I carried the KABAR Bob Dozier Spear Point Hunter, SOG Trident, Byrd CaraCara, Boker KeyCom, and SwissTech Utili-key. What can I say? I cannot pick one knife to carry, I have to carry several because I like them all so much. (I also carry multiple blades for different EDC Tasks and or situations. It doesn't hurt to be prepared.) p.s. I also have the ColdSteel Bushman in my truck.

Lee- that is really interesting?

So, let me ask in response to your comment "It doesn't hurt to be prepared" Prepared for what? Where do you live? What do you do?

I can see the logic through- if you like knives, why only carry one?

I am on the same page with Lee. I always have more than one knife on me but not always 5!! Today I am carrying my Spyderco Delica wave, Byrd Robin, Blackhawk Hawk Hook, Leattherman Juice(Multi-tool with blade). Today I am working outside so I have more but on a normal day I wouldn't walk out of the house with out my Delica, Blackhawk and Leatherman.

Lee is right, being prepared is never a bad thing. Never know when you will run into a situation where your life or the life of someone else could be saved by having a knife.

Geez Lee! Planning o getting attacked?
I can understand carrying two (as I do), but 5?!

Lee is ready for the Zombie Apocalypse!!
Okay not really.
But I don't think it THAT strange...Ken (my bf) has been know to carry 3-4 in a day for no other reason then because he can.

Well I don't consider my job or the place where I live dangerous, but two of my knives are on my keychain which is in my pocket. Then I have two in my front right pocket and one in my back right pocket. Basically I have two that I use for tactical/self defense knives and one that has a smaller blade for socially friendly tasks. Like Keelen, I just believe in being prepared for anything, you never know what will happen. I cant wait to get my concealed carry license for my Glock... and then I can drive my tank... JK

When I think about it, I really only need two at most but I like them so much its hard to just pick one.

Lynsie's the same way! She usually carries 3-4 blades on her, unless she's at work then she only carries 1.
