I carry multiple for a similar reason. The most use my blades see is opening boxes. I have a small Spyderco Jester on my keyring for that - quick to deploy, open box, fold up. LM Core on my belt for the tools (most used are pliers and phillips head). I have a larger Gerber folder that genrally stays in pocket as backup, rarely used.
