What do you carry at work?

[Comeuppance]

One knife? Two knives? Which knives?

I work retail at a locally-owned store, and there is no knife policy to speak of. Thus, I carry whatever I damned well feel like carrying

These days, it's a Kershaw Ram on the left, and a ZT 0561 on the right. Before that, Tenacious/Digicam Black PM2, and before that, Endura Wave/Manix2 XL.

Those cardboard boxes never knew what was coming.

I work in an office and carry a small insingo. Much ore than that and it'll scare my co-workers heh

 

[M.FREEZE]

Benchmade mini grip with a sheepsfoot blade. Mainly used for cardboard and other odd job tasks. 154 CM blade. This knife has held up great, especially for the price.

 

[RemyKaze]

Crimson digicam PM2 right front pocket, Leatherman Wave in a belt pouch right back hip, and either an Opinel 8 in pocket or a SAK Huntsman in a second pouch.

 

[Topcatpt]

Becker bk11 in the duty belt. Manix or paramilitary in the pocket.

 

[Angus McGunnigl]

Kershaw Tanto Blur
Gerber Yari, Original-plain edge

 

[GarnetandBlack]

I always carry my izula 2 and my SAK, but i tend to leave the ESEE in the pocket at work and pull the SAK out for sheeple's sake. Just depends on what i have to do.

 

[NeverMore1701]

Whatever I feel like, there's a completely ignored, unenforced knife policy on the truck and none at all at the other office.

 

[Foskey]

Ten inch breaking knife, 6 inch boning knife (Meatcutter), and a benchmade of some flavor.

 

[MRaymond]

I have an alox SAK with me always. I also carry a large sebenza insingo in a leather pouch in my pocket.

I've carried two for a few years now, and for a few reasons:
Convenience - I sometimes am holding something with my right hand and need to cut it with my left.
Function - Carrying two knives with different grinds has proved useful; one for utility cutting and one for fine cutting.
Social aspects - The left-hand knife is usually smaller and less terrifying than my right-hand knife. The size difference is good for differing cutting tasks as well.

My work says no knives but I get away with carrying a Leatherman ST300, it is really all I need and it does get used alot.

 

[Zidfeldts]

I carry whatever I want: today I had a 7OT on my belt, a Boker Krein pocket Bowie in my right back pocket, a Case back pocket in a home made wallet in my left rear pocket and a Case 6375 in my right front pocket. I don't need this many but I love knives and I love carrying them.

I was (till retired) a commercial refrigeration tech and for years I carried a Buck Stockman. I used the knife for everything up to and including cutting wire at times. I found myself with only one free hand often so I switched to a Case XX with a 3.5 inch blade. I still carry one of the two most days as an EDC.

A Kershaw chill (usually back pocket) and a Rat1 usually front left. Try to keep them covered so folks don't see them hanging out by the pocket clips. If I can't cover them I just slip them in my pockets.

I hardly ever need to use a knife at work....

on edit: now carrying a Cryo 1 instead of the Rat. Just got it a few days ago...

When I used to work I carried lotsa diferent knives I was in the trades so I always had need for knives but the 2 that saw the most time and actually still to this day, The Aikuchi's in my RR Pocket attached with a sheathed static ball chain attached to a belt loop so all i have to do is pull on the handle and the chain holds the friction sheath behind allowing me to deep pocket carry and retrieve my knife 1 handed.

The Other bein' my Pat Crawford Framelock which sits clipped RF or tucked into my wallet.

The company where I work has no restrictions so I carry whatever I want. My carry knives have moved from 3" blades a few years ago to around 3.5" blades now. I work in an office so I could probably get by with a pretty small knife, I carry larger ones because I can and because I want to.

Below is the latest photo of my EDC rotation, and I have several more on my wish list to add to it.

 

[NeverMore1701]

Typical office carry, knife rotates, a lot of time goes to my Hinderer, CRKs, and ZTs.

I always have one of these locking folders plus a SAK.
