Anyone carry two knives? For work? For the heck of it?

Not sure when I started carrying two. Long time habit. One small folder for day to day use. One big folder for "Just in case."

I carry a para military 2 clipped to right front pocket , a bark river city knife fixed blade in a sheath with a flashlight in my left front pocket and a small SAK on my keychain. So 3.
 
Regular EDC nope just a mini griptillian. Woods or fishing yes, the mini and cold steel master hunter or a 7" filet Russell.
 
3 blade stockman, large, in pocket, then added a bearpaw lb7 on beltcase, upgraded stockman to swiss army knife ( prefer victorinox over wenger mainly for the canopener); kept the bearpaw handy but upgraded thru the leathermans to the surge, and the sak traded for a pocket hobo knife. Keep a buck "moose" stockman in toolbox and jockeybox with a leatherman supertool. Gent's sak on keyring. Sak champ in my day-bag. When i ran towtruck, i had two wingman in the same beltcase, moved up to two surge when they came out. Otr, now, dont need that kinda gear.

I carry three, sort of. Occasionally, four. #1 - a 4" Lockback, #2 - a very small Swiss Army knife (mostly for the built-in toothpick), and (the sort of) an original Leatherman Multi-tool (mostly for the pliers and screwdrivers, but it does have a knife blade also). The #4 (the occasional) is (was) a money clip I have (or had) that has a couple of small 1 1/2" blades built into it. When we moved, I had to do a couple of cross country flights, so to prevent the TSA from confiscating it, I packed it away...somewhere. Maybe I'll find it again someday.
 
I started carrying at least one pocket knife when I was 6 years old .... even in the first grade I had a teacher that would ask the boys if she could borrow a knife to open a box. By the time I was 15 I started carrying one on each pants pocket. For 45+ years as a land surveyor I carried the standard 3 blade pocket knife in the normal front right pocket, a cheap folding lock blade for "junk cutting" in the front left, a small folding box cutter in the front left, a SOG or Gerber multi-tool on the belt (cut many, many pieces of barbed wire clearing out search areas for survey monuments), and a lot of time "in the field" there was also a 22" machete hanging on the belt. Since retiring in April of 2023 I no longer carry the machete or the little box cutter but my normal pepper growing season folding scissors for cutting peppers seem to always stay in my daily carry stuff.

Ever since I was a little kid I've had to have my "pocket stuff"

This thread reminds me of the ones about carrying two, three or even more firearms everytime leaving the house. I just don't get it. Having a pocket knife is handy, so a folding Kershaw is always clipped to my left front pocket (right front pocket is for an EDC in a Desantis Nemesis holster, and nothing else). I can't see a reason for carrying more than one.
 
At work I always left my key chain with the knife on it in my desk, then I donned my Leatherman so no, I never carried two knives simultaneously.
 
Usually 2 folding and one fixed blade. I don't carry the same ones everyday. Today I have a Great Eastern cutlery, a Buck 110 and a Winkler SD1. The Great Eastern cutlery gets carried a lot.

Yes, but nothing fancy. My dad always carried a Barlow and I suppose that's why I carry one similar to it. The other one is just one from a local box store. Both get used regularly.
