POLL Number and similarity of blades on your cutting tool

[dks]

I have been thinking that most people seem to be happy with one blade on their folding knife (penknife/slipjoint, locker), with maybe the odd secondary blade; usually a small, blade for precision work.
 
The victorinox, with the classic large and small spearpoint blade, the Peanut, the Barlow are characteristic of the two bladed varieties and the locking folders, Opinel, most traditional European knives are characteristic of the two bladed varieties.

This is not a poll on how many blades you are carrying (e.g. the total number of blades on the various knives, multitools etc. you carry).

The question is how many blades your usual allocated cutting tool has. So if you only carry a LM Micra or a Juice S2 you will answer 1 blade, but if you carry that with a SAK or a penknife etc., that will be your main cutting tool (even in theory), then you will only count the blades on that tool.

I usually carry a Victorinox manager with a single bladed knife.
If I carry a two blade knife then it is usually one with two different blades, like the Victorinox pruner, that offers a large cutting blade and a smaller secondary one which is ideal for pruning, opening clamshells, cutting into boxes...

The last two questions of the poll ask whether, in case your main cutting tool has two or more blades, these blades are similar or not (two clippoints, two spearpoints etc.)

If they are the same shape but one is serrated we will consider them as not being similar.

This is my 1st poll ever, so I thought a loooooong explanation was needed.

I assume that if the poll runs for two weeks most people interested will answer.

Single blade folder for me. 

[PTRSAK]

My most often carried SAK is a Ranger, but the main blade is re-profiled into a Sheepsfoot.

so   2 - different

[AimlessWanderer]

Different every day is the most accurate answer ... but I voted for two dissimilar blades.

I generally have a Manager on my car keys, and some kind of primary cutting tool, be it folder, SAK or multitool. Sometimes I'll have multiple blades such as a Wings Slipit and whatever is on the MT of the day, but it's rare for me to have less than two blades on me of some form or another

[sir_mike]

I too carry the Ranger so two and prior to the Ranger I carried the Explorer so still two!

[kirk13]

SAK,either Wenger or Vic,so one type here most times

[kkokkolis]

An Opinel #8 Jardin, just one blade.

[Corwyn]

Compact, SkeleTool, Rogue, OHT. Spirit... almost all my carries are 1-bladed. Only the Swisschamp has 2...

[comis]

This should be an interesting poll, I am wondering when how many of those 2 blades carrier are dedicated SAKs fans and how many are folding knife(Barlow, stockman, etc) carrier.

Just bumping it up a bit.. apparently only 18 people actually carry knives/cutting tools here   ..

Or most people use Tapatalk    - no polls there

[hiraethus]

Pioneer here, most of the time.  But I use the awl for boxes and cable ties so voted for 2 dissimilar blades.

[cbl51]

I voted for one. At the end of the day, when it's all said and done, the Wenger SI that I love does everything I need of a pocketknife/tool.

[magentus]

Until I find a way to replace the small blade on my EDC with an in-line awl, I'm a 2 blade bod.

[Yaesu Man]

While I carry many knives and tools, when something needs cuttin', the one I reach for 80+ percent of the time is my Leatherman e307x (single blade).  Next in line would be my Vic Hiker.

[David]

One! 

[dks]

A real man only needs one blade anyway   

So I have 2....

[dks]

Poll locked, and I have included a picture of the results for the Tapatalk users.

Summarising, the members who replied have 1 or 2 blades on their knife, some have similar, some have different ones.

No e.g. Stockman users 

[kmanct3]

I prefer multiple blades
