On a typical day, how many do you have on you? In my case, 2 CRKT's.

2 or 3

I usually carry a couple of Boker congress, one with 2 sheepfoot blades, a
pen blade and a coping blade, the other has a sheepsfoot, large pen, 2 small
pen. sometimes my marbles stockman.
I use them for opening mail/boxes etc at work and usually have a spare
incase anyone else needs to borrow one.

But I just got a very nice Kissing Crane "Coal Miner" sodbuster, I paid
$3.99 US for it and about $3.80 postage from the US. So that might become
my EDC, once I get rid of the factory edge.

A Busse Meaner Street and a Gerber tool on my belt most days. Going to
church, a Busse Game Warden in a pocket sheath. Hunting, a Busse Steel
Heart or Swamp Rat ME. Very rarely, a Bench made 732.

These are in addition to a azs`````` LED light, cell phone and a Glock 26.

Question was posed as follows:

"On a typical day, how many do you have on you? In my case, 2 CRKT's."

I have a SOG Flash II in waistband of sweatpants, very sharp Parker penknife
in one shirt pocket and a plastic letter opener with thumb snap open in
other shirt pocket. (can't be sharpened but does have edge to it, and about
same size as the SOG)

A plastic knife, posing as comb, over visor in my van too. Machete and
paring knife in back of van. (I salvage wood from my nephew's shop)

Not knives but my two very heavy silver "biker rings" will cut badly, and I
always have my hickory cane. (think kind at farm animal show, thick and
quite strong)

If I don't have 2 I feel naked. A case cv stockman setup like alvin's
and a bigger blade of about 4+ inches. Usually a balisong or lockback.

Sometimes I throw a serrated endura in my bag too.

Used the sodbuster at work today. It's a little bit big for opening
letters, I prefer a really small blade like the pen blade on my congress.
It's also probably very slightly illegal, the blade is just over 3". I have
a couple of other Kissing Crane knives. A stiletto with a 3.5" locking
blade and another stiletto with a 4" blade and a nice stag antler handle.
Both the stilettos needed a tiny bit of dremelling to get the locks to lock
and unlock smoothly. Other than that, they are very nice and weren't
expensive at all.
The other night I put a bid on a Cold Steel Tai Pan copy and won it.
Unfortunately carrying a double edged dagger with an 8" blade is frowned
upon, so it won't be an EDC for me.

Cool! Mind telling us how much? As I recall, that is *not* an
inexpensive knife.

What in God's World do you do with all of them? That is one for each
hand and the balisong maybe gripped between your toes and hopping
around on the other foot and I guess the "serrated endura" gripped
between your teeth?

Blimy!

The endura is great for the ocasional hard loaf of bread and the
balisong is usually a general sandwich knife. Thats 90 percent of my use
for a bigger blade. The other 10 percent is when I get roped into work I
didn't plan on....like cutting old fenders off the dock or cutting
thick straps off of large packages.

The stockman...general light-duty cutting and opening of cans. I've
found the sheeps foot blade more usefull than scissors. The skinner is
for really delicate stuff...like corring chilli seranos and removing
splinters. The spey blade is the can opener...and a zip-tie cutter if
the sheeps foot is dull.

Seems everywhere I am. execept where I keep my stuff, never has screw
drivers, cutters, or knives.

Not been on a plane for 6 years. Might be flying to Germany this year, but
I'll just buy a knife when I get there and post it home before I leave.

got a few CS knives myself, I like them a lot, but have a little niggle with
the lock on the ti-lite. It wobbles like hell back and forth (side to side,
no play). Think I might have to dremellate the bit of the blade that comes
into contact with the lock to fix it.

I've only got that one CS folder, the others are all fixed.
I have the "ready edge" or something like that, small serrated neck knife. 2
"Spikes", clip and scimitar (scimitar VERY nice). The "Braveheart" is under
my pillow, an Urban Dart, 2 zytel delta darts, and the Grivory Tai Pan. No
complaints about any of them.

I have quite a few cheap stiletto type folders based on the Ti-Lite,
including 2 straight copies and I like them all as much as, if not more than
the original to be honest. That will probably change once I fix the lock on
the proper one.

A Trailmaster, a Bushman, and a Hai Hocho here. Would love to get one of
their spears.

I'm considering one of their battle maces. I've no use for it, but it would
just be a cool thing to have. They are out of production now, but there are
a few to be had on ebay.

Always one of several Spyderco's. Just ordered the CS Hatamoto, it
might be my EDC later.
