Favorite Office Carry [Price Dependent]

[Slice-and-dice]

You work in an office and want to carry in a discreet pocket knife in each day. Definitely want a folder (a "gentlemen's folder"), no belt sheaths, and would like the flexibility of a pocket clip if possible. What do you buy with a $30 or so price limit?

Swiss Army?
Buck Langford?
Opinel with add on clip?
Case Synthetic MiniBlackhorn?
Other...

Has to be 30? CRKT CEO is under 50 that ticks all the boxes in my opinion.

If it had to be 30 or under.

SWIZA
Douk Douk
CRKT Pilar is usually around 30

Those would be my options.

Great options, thanks! Never saw that CEO before... cool knife.

I had the perfect answer….then the budget shut me down. Good luck with your search.

A SAK wouldn't raise any eyebrows, and is handy for removing staples, fixing the photocopiers, opening packages, etc.

I’d go to a retailer and type in “Kershaw” and search everything under $30. There’s probably 40-50 options. Something for everybody.

And cutting the office cake of the day LOL !

Great knives, but tough to find one that's discreet looking and value priced.

Never heard of SWIZA... some nice options available there thanks

SWIZA is like a SAK and it's Swiss too. They're made pretty well.

Look fantastic.... You Tube seems to love the BUCK Langford also.

 

[oldrifleman]

Sorry I don't even own a knife under $50 and any I carry to the office are generally over $500.

Yeah that's a good choice too.

Might look around for a used Kershaw Blur, Leek, or Blackout. If you could bring your budget up a little bit you could source a new Spyderco Tenacious. You could look for some CRKT models maybe. The budget is giving me a mental workout

Thanks JC. I'm so focused on Buck, Case, and to some degree, vintage Parkers, that I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the new designs! Looking for a female family member who won't accept a gift and wants to purchase an inexpensive low key blade to bring to the office. I think she's buying a SAK

If you have a sensitive office environment, definitely buy a sak, It doesn't bother anyone. Red is a relaxing color that is psychologically associated with health. You are more comfortable using features such as scissors than a knife. If you want to be a little stylish, Inox versions can also be found at that price.

I got an unsharpened vintage Old Timer trapper knife for 5 bucks. My favorite budget knife.

I would also go with a SAK u like, plenty of options.

My office carry is a engraved Fällkniven LTC(Legal To Carry), similar to a SAK. Perfect as a pocket floater(no clip).

It's small and looks really sheeple friendly:

 

[Boattale]

SAK or Opinel are the two obvious choices.

 

[jdswitters]

I have a SAK tinker black scales on my desk that stays out all the time. Then again I work in an engineering firm and my primary client is the VA. I would guess our office culture is different than other offices.

Very handy tool set to have for light use. Older picture, the SAK and Flag are usually the only things on that monitor stand.



Cheers,
