Yeah, I have this same philosophy. I don't go as far as carrying TWO knives....but hey....redundancy is a good thing, right?
My setup is to have a spade-tip knife w/serrated edge on my right waist and a pair of shears in a quick release pocket on my left shoulder strap, just below my D-ring.
This gives good separation both left-to-right and up-down. Both are accessible via either hand, and don't require unzipping a pocket. I have to believe I would have at least one arm free and one tool accessible even in a significant entanglement.
Bonus thought:
I really don't like putting cutting tools on your thigh, because it makes reaching it with the opposite hand more difficult.
