Usually, I would actually only carry one fixed blade. It might even be a machete, depending on where I'm going. But I usually carry two folders, one small SAK Recruit and one locking type. When I get my combo sheath for the M9LE and HCLE, then I could carry two fixed blades and a SAK in my pocket. For my last swamp trip I carried my DFLE, Rat Trap, and SAK OHT. I should have left the Rat Trap at the house. With the locking blade on the OHT, all I really need is one big fixed blade, like the NMSFNO, DFLE, M9LE, machete or even the SARsquatch. Since I normally pack a revolver, I just don't want to carry too much extra steel. Two knives really should be enough, a big one for chopping and machete work, and a folder for more delicate work.
