Name the knife/ves that travel with you in some way apart from your regular carry (bag, car... Keychain?)

What just comes with you places?
I usually have, in a canvas bag in my locker at work, a full size Leatherman like a Wingman clipped to it, or a Wave in a sheath, and today I just added the Cold Steel GRIK that I lightened even further by pulling off the kind of useless scales. The only function they serve is to hold a pocket clip if you need one, but if not... It is even more of a slim but very strong, very "Cold Steel" knife. These are just to get, if I need them for a specific purpose that the SAK or Spyderco or whatever on me cannot fill. Oh, I never pocket carry a Leatherman bigger than a P4 Squirt.

One that is often thrown in the car if making a quick midnight trip is an XL Voyager, lightweight, but I cannot truly say it lives there, but it always lives in something I carry around at some point. Some bag, always.

What about you? What's in your weekend bag at the bottom always, your work bag, your vehicle, maybe your keychain? Whatever isn't chosen and packed on you with intent but rather travels with you automatically, sometimes or all the time.

A cheap United boot knife, with the larger rubber handle from a different knife to replace the original, smaller, plastic handle.

I have a Voyager xl that lives in my center console of my car. I have a k55, victorinox large paring knife, and sog Powerpint mini that live in my man bag
 
I usually feel naked without a knife, so it's my ZT0095 or a Gerber multitool that subs in for indiscretions sake
Same here, and I like to have 1. A main pocket knife, usually locking, today was kind of both the Vic Florist and the amazing Spyderco Cricket, 2. Something that could get me out of a jam because I work somewhere not so savory, being the Matriarch 2 and 3. A Swiss Army Knife, filled by today's plain Super Tinker.

The Spydercos were both in my fifth pocket, clipped, but completely covered by shirt for discretion and there for drawing fast, the Cricket is what I use most to make quick cuts and put back fast. SAKs carried loose. All invisible though.

Love the K55 and Vic's paring knives! Those folded metal frame knives like that, the Douk Douk or Higonokami are fantastic for this purpose. So slim.
 
In addition to my EDC folder and keychain MiniChamp I like having the larger Alox Pioneer X or the Explorer Plus or the Traveler Light in my pockets and a smaller (legal sized) usually full tang 1075 or 14c28n fixed blade in the bag/backpack when away from home. Usually I'll carry a cheaper folder and fixed blade from the collection, maybe even just an opinel + mora, depending on the itinerary.
 
Truck. Caruthers kephart, KOA Jaeger, SAK, Mora Companion, Gransfors small forest axe,Vaughn riggers hatchet.

Keychains. SAK Rambler, SAK Classic, Gerber LST.

Luggage checked. D2 Kabar Dozier folder, SAK Compact.
 
In my backpack there's at least a Leatherman Wave and a fixed blade of varying size, mostly also a Victorinox Forester and as of this week, either a Sage 5 LW or a Manic 2 XL, depending on how I feel that day :D
 
Like my firearms, I am always inches away at all times from a knife. I always have a folder on me, usually a Spyderco of some sort, or a Cold Steel of some sort or my trusty Buck 110.

On my bicycle, I have a SAK in my handlebar bag. In my car, an Estwing tomahawk and a Mora Robust. In my backpack (which I’m usually carrying), another SAK (SwissChamp) and a Mora Garberg. And if I’m going very light around town, instead of the backpack, a sling bag with another Mora Robust and yet another SAK. Oh, and a Spyderco manbug in my 5th pocket of my jeans at all times. Now, if I only had something to cut 😆
