Looking for a new EDC.

Though you didn't mention it, I also really recommend the Mackinac Hunter. I find that carrying it with the sheath on your belt saves up a lot of pocket space that you can use for other things, which is super useful if you like to carry a lot of things with you. The blade shape and size are awesome for EDC and it's just generally a fantastic knife. It is a little heavy, but that's a non-issue if you carry it in the pouch sheath. It's also probably the most politically correct out of the knives I've mentioned here, a

It's not the most politically correct here. Most workplaces disallow sheath knives, whereas knives in the pocket are usually fine(or as was the case at my old job, no knives were technically allowed but the managers would overlook pocket knives and even carry them as well...no such luck with a knife on the belt)

Sigh, nonsensical liberal attitudes...at my job I carry it in the sheath, but I think the only reason it can fly is that everyone there is too ignorant about knives to know what it is. They figure it's a phone holster or some other gadget. I've never had anybody ask me about it...they don't have any policy that I know of regarding knives, and it's perfectly legal to carry it in this way so long as I don't intend to use it as a tool for "introducing myself" to unsavory characters.

Once there was a lady who wanted to open a package, and a fellow employee asked me if I had a pair of scissors or a "cutter". On the inside I was laughing hysterically at this. I pulled my Voyager tanto out of my pocket and the lady had this completely astonished look on her face, it was hilarious. I opened her package and she left in a hurry. Then the employee said I have a "nice Swiss Army knife"!

And I live in Texas. It's legal to carry a knife of up to 5.5 inches, but many businesses will forbid it(I work overnight at a hotel currently, prior job was at a restaurant), at least for employees. It's just a business thing probably, companies are afraid some Suzy Soccermom and her adorable little rugrat spawn will see someone carrying a knife and be traumatized and then she'll tell all her friends to never go to the place where the scary knife wielding people work ever again...or something like that.

Can you carry it concealed? I would carry a Kobun IWB and one of the new Tanto Spike knives via neck carry.

There's no concealment laws for knife carry here. As long as the blade is single edged and under 5.5 inches, you can legally carry it however you please, barring local ordinances(ie, San Antonio sucks), or business regulations. So I could carry the knife concealed and not be breaking the state or local laws, but it would still be against company policy and could be an issue if I *was* caught with it for some reason.
