Sorry - I wasn't clear. :o

A couple of folk mentioned earlier in this thread their preference for carrying different blade styles; I took that to mean PE and SE. I've always thought it was a good idea - I carried a Dyad for a while, but like having two knives, instead of one.

Yep,always 1 serrated and 1 plain edge for the day,4 me.
Makes knife use so much more exciting.
Plain Native C41 and D4 serrated.
Plain edge D4 and serrated Salt1.etc..
This is also a question, purely of style.Sometimes the Spydies in pairs,must match the attire being worn for the day.
Haute couture.-some modeling term,hope i got it right.peace.

I'm also a fan of the PE and SE combination, although I try to make my SE a hawkbill of sorts :D

My absolute favorite combination is a PE salsa and a SE dodo. I have found that there is almost nothing that this pair can't accomplish.

Normally for me it's an Endura CE and a Cricket SE, or my waved Delica PE and the Cricket, but I just got a D2 Millie PE yesterday (my first Millie - WAHOOO! :D ) and it has replaced both the Delica and Endura as my new favourite carry knife. Right now it's paired with a Jester PE because the Millie is just too much of a shock :eek: for most sheeple so the Jester is the one which opens mail, etc.

Hmmm, pairs...

Lately it has been C44 and C39 Dyads, C52BMP and C54BMP Calypsos, Dodo and Yojimbo, D2 and BG-42 Militaries.

For me, it's my Tom Krein FFG PE Endura in ZDP in RF pocket and my SE Tasman Salt in my LF pocket. I pretty much have all the bases covered with those two.

For many, many years it was just one blade, but lately with some new acquisitions, I've become a big fan of pairs.

Today it is my PE Tasman in FRP and Adventura in BRP.

When my SE Merlin and my new Caly 3 arrive later this week, I think that will be the combo for some time. :D

For you all that carry pairs or more, I'd like to know where you carry them - front pockets, back pockets, neckers, belted, change pocket, etc.

Sky's the limit, I'd say...I'll carry one IWB at 2 o'clock and the other IWB at 10 o'clock...or one IWB and the other in pocket, purse,neck knife, keychain, etc.... :D

:spyder: Today I took my new pink delica and blue yoji to work. They complimented each other with a very friendly color combo while still giving me the tools at hand should I need to get "Janich-y" :cool: :spyder:
